Hahah! Oh man, so true! But yes, not liking Caitlin at all, mostly fueled by her being Sarah Newlin on True Blood, although she did grow a teensy tiny bit on me during Affairs of State. But only a little. You kept up that attitude for me! XP

I really loved how you had the kids inadvertently forced Alicia to face Kalinda! And then Kalinda being a knight in shiny boots stopping Caitlin from driving Alicia to homicidal tendencies? Perfect! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, man - do I share your frustration with the show right now! It's been my head canon that they must've had interactions like this for the last few weeks - but THANKS for actually showing them to us! (Cause, now this is all show canon for me lol).

Great. K looking out for the kids, despite everything...yes! The Caitlin one was perfect. I loved Kalinda shutting her down and warning Alicia. *sigh* Alicia - I miss you guys, too! :b

And what spoiler??? I hadn't seen anything to make me optimistic. Please share! :)

Thanks for reading :-) I love this show...and I loved the latest episode. But the complete and total lack of Kalinda and/or Alicia/Kalinda interactions kills me. I understand the need for distance, but they are seriously short changing that story line (and our dear investigator). Season 2 built it up and tore it down perfectly, but now its just being ignored and that is so not cool. GAH

EXACTLY. Co-signed to infinity. I felt this past episode was the best all season, and the first to overcome the near complete absence of any Alicia/Kalinda interaction for me. And yes, they showcased the disintegration of the friendship so compellingly, that ignoring the fall-out makes me feel sooo cheated. lol Really lost their momentum there, IMO (your honor).

But those spoilers!! Thanks so much for so much detail! That's great to hear! I can't figure out how Grace of all people figures into this, but then I never could've expected her cell phone outing Alicia's affair either (my favorite scene in that one). So, I'm eager to see how that plays...

And I really appreciate that Dana seems to be the center of the triangle. I didn't want the women fighting over Cary. yawn.

Great news. Thanks for sharing. And please feel free to write more! ;)

I'm some sort of sucker for Kalinda interactions with Zach and Grace. Thank you for providing this.

It's actually one of my head-based arguments for why Kalicia could work. Kalinda actually gets on with the kids. Besides, can you imagine the scenes of Alicia fessing to the kids? Peter finding out? Too delicious for words.
