@paladin5150 "giving her a permanent Professor X mobility situation" - the word you're looking for is disabled. It's not a bad word, it's ok to say it.
@justgeekingby - I use the words I MEAN to use, NOT the ones YOU think I should. But thanks for playing!
@paladin5150 And as a disabled person, I have the right to correct your ableism. It's not a "game" to play.
@justgeekingby - Absolutely! You have every right to be childishly offended at a benign comment made concerning a FICTIONAL character on a Dramedy TV show, just as I have every right not to care. Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on..., So long, and, thanks for all the fish!

Slight variation on the usual Poker Face story arc, in this case, with Charlie befriending the villainesses before their villainess acts, and then still not quite believing it, even when she can tell they're lying, and, that, they are in reality, cliched "former counter-revolutionaries" who see nothing wrong with helping those who disagree with them in shedding their mortal coils. Yes, their former (to quote Kim K, "big D energy") paramour Ben may have betrayed them to the Po Po, causing (nearly unrecognizable former OLTL alum) Judith Light's Irene to take a shotty load to the spinal column and the both of them long term stays in the Graybar Hotel, but, damn son, they felt it was fine to blow up a room full of high school kids to teach them a lesson about working for "the MAN", that is, again, anyone who disagreed with their politics. Ben noped the "F" out, pulled a Sammy the Bull, and exited stage left via a blacked out FBI van straight into into WITSEC.
Years later, feeling that he needed to make things right, and at least tell them what had REALLY happened, he shows up at their care home, unfortunately forgetting that "hell hath no fury...."and quickly finds himself starring in a real life episode of "Murder They Wrote". I wont go fully into the plot, as @Andrew Bloom has given his usual play by play synopsis below, but, suffice it to say the main antagonists deserved and eventually received a return engagement at the local Shawshank dormitory, as well as a pre registration azz whoopin' via Ms.Charlie Cale.
Kudos to Simon Helberg's turn as "Luca" (who, unlike his Brasi namesake, does NOT sleep with the fishes) but, does seem like kind of Agent one would hope to run into if ones life started to go pear shaped. Hopefully (seeing how impressed he was with Charlie) we will see him again, and if not, when this show runs it's course, perhaps Charlie can take him up on his offer, and if not outright joining, (owing to how she feels about cops) then perhaps a consulting gig, on occasion, as she feels the need...., for justice.
All in all a really good episode.
MODERATION EDIT: You shouldn't use those terms to talk about disabled people. You can't say what you want if that is offensive.
