Itll get much, much worse.

There is a huge scene in episode 6, the penultimate episode.

Its a pretty dramatic showdown in court.

Your character did have a go at warn Mary Louise how bad this could get.

He assumes that it will end up being negotiated before they get to court.

But I also think that he believes when they go to court, hell win.

Hes fairly certain of a) his own abilities and b) of the facts of the case.

How much might your character know or suspect about Perrys death?

There are definitely going to be some feints in a direction that seems pretty scary for Nicoles character.

Is she right to have that concern?Its a small community, up and down the coast.

And this lawyer obviously wouldve heard anything and everything about the ongoing investigation.

Anything that can help this case, hes going to, of course, look into.

These guys tend to want to settle out of court.

Because no one benefits from a slugfest.

She also has a legal mind and is a lawyer by training.

Its not even like shes being tricky.

We see Corey at the police station at the end of the episode.

Was it a high point of your career to act opposite Meryl?Oh, totally.

I met her through the years on several occasions.

This is not the way to do it.
