Season Finale Recap: Partner in Crime
All’s Fair Oh Jesus! / Interior Law Offices has finally found its groove in the two-episode season finale. Editor’s Rating: 5 stars * * * * *
The Protagonist’s Journey
In “Partner in Crime,” All’s Fair drops the facade that anyone other than Carrington Lane is the protagonist. From the minute we met her, this was clear to many viewers, but now, finally, the show officially hands over the reins.
The Chaotic Interactions with Chase Munroe
Sebastian’s advice to see through her crush on Chase Munroe leads to a hilariously campy scene. Carrington Lane and Chase play roles in an office setting: he as Jesus, she as the devil. The reprise calls for some role-playing that works thanks to the magic of television and suspension of disbelief.
The Infiltration of Allura’s Firm
In a masterful move, Carrington Lane uses subterfuge to infiltrate Allura’s firm, planning to make it bigger than ever before blowing it up from within. The first step is winning over Liberty and strategically gifting her a first-issue Princess Diana plate, which screams “This is what British people like, right?”
The Climactic Confrontation and Dina’s Arrest
This show’s final scenes see Carrington Lane sharing concerns about Dina Standish’s cognitive decline. This leads to an all-partner meeting where Dina is confronted with evidence of her alleged dementia. Within seconds, this show went from gaslighting Dina into thinking she has dementia to arresting her for the murder of Emerald’s attacker.
But did she really do it?
And if not, was this police error or a sign that Carrington Lane is even more of a mastermind than we could have imagined?
As Sarah Paulson maintains a perfect poker face through all these twists and turns, All’s Fair has finally found itself: fully and unabashedly off the deep end. The next and final episode will undoubtedly continue this journey into uncharted territory.
