Review - Damages Season 3 Episode 10 Tell Me I'm Not Racist

There's three episodes left in the season and likely the series--a highly disappointing fact that can be only be attributed to the ratings. The writers regained the creative magic of the first season, and created a great season that critics and fans love. "Tell Me I'm Not Racist" took another step toward the finale with more revelations and a new storyline for Ellen.

Patty isn't the only one with weird dreams. Ellen dreams about a woman she has no clue about. The surreal nature of the dream makes Ellen and us curious. Later, we learn she is named Annie and used to babysit Ellen. Could she be Ellen's mother?

If Ellen didn't already have enough on her plate, she still has to deal with her sister. As she learns from Malcolm, Carrie is deeper into the drug trade than she admitted. Ellen punishes her by not helping her. Haha.

Tom is getting desperate for money, and after the plaintiffs balk at Patty's appeasement, he takes matters into his own hands, going behind Patty's back and gets Ellen to tell Tessa what happened to her mother. Scared, Tessa turns to Patty, and the chips start falling in place. Unfortunately, Ellen's coworker at the DA snitches on her, and Tessa is arrested.

Marilyn wants to donate to charity and go on a trip to Africa, and Zedeck feigns helping her, in reality, to keep her away from the charity. It looks like that's how the Tobins funnel the money back into the United States.

Leonard's father shows up and he is sure Leonard is running a game. Leonard has access to the money and probably stole money in the past. Will he cave in?

Score: 9.1/10
