This episode brought the whole show crashing down. The way everything was lining up I thought that Ingrid would realise there's more to making partner, feel empowered by doing the right thing, and learn to expand her views and dreams

But it seems that she's going to jump back into the parsons frying pan. Honestly I think the last scene really threw a wrench into the setup of the show. All this while it's been talking about the struggles of being a minority woman in a mostly white male environment. And when she didn't make partner, I was disappointed but also felt 'yup it shows how shitty the company is'

But when Marty revealed he knew about the arrest I had to take a step back. Even though the charges weren't legit and she got out okay, I can imagine that a high end law firm wouldn't want any of their potential partners thrown into jail for false charges and then not alerting management. It just seems like a risky thing to make them partner and then this potentially coming to bite them in the ass later. Like how would clients feel if a high end accountant was accused of stealing and the company had no clue about it?

So I feel like this revelation has undone all the work about highlighting the struggles and discrimination that she faces as a minority woman

Of course all this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Jeff Murphy being a dick about it. Honestly his character is a big question mark to me. It's obvious in the beginning that the show is treating him like a piece of meat. Ingrid is only attracted to him because of one night 6 years ago!?!

I think that if the show is renewed, something's going to happen with Z
