A terrific closing
liambretag22 February 2021
I love the speech Spader delivers at the closing of this episode, in defence of the condom and attacking abstinence only programs.

Alan Shore is at his best in a lot of ways when he's fighting for the disenfranchised, for the weak against the powerful. He is a complicated and compex character who is capable - as he ably demonstrates at various times across the show's run and during the Practice - of darkness in pursuit of doing the right thing. He is ethically ambiguous, but ever now and then he is provided an opportunity to wax eloquent about a truly vital cause.

He nails this speech, as he does so many others.

Let's Get Real

Warning: Spoilers
The school should never have been put in this situation. If this is a mandate that requires a school to teach a certain way, it's coming from the top. I would guess an appeal would cancel out the amount found. And don't blame that principle. He is held hostage by rules he has to follow or he will have to begin laying off people right and left. Legislatures have no heart when it comes to funding. If there were really such a young woman, it would be sad. To think that it never occurred to her or her partner that unprotected sex has consequences is ridiculous. It's demeaning to the kids. The rooster case was the usual stupid case that provides humor.
