Credit where credit’s due: “Ugly Truth” doesn’t waste any time drawing out the reveal of Joe Hudlin, divorce lawyer and villainous creep, as the one working with Lockyear to bury the murders of the whistleblowers and the man responsible for Felker’s imprisonment of Clarice two episodes ago. She literally just sees the magazine cover with Hudlin on it sitting on Krendler’s desk, and suddenly the whole team knows who’s responsible for what happened to her (her claims are immediately substantiated by Tripathi tailing Hudlin all day and seeing him enter Lockyear’s building). Unfortunately, the show still wants to play this “Clarice and Krendler don’t trust each other” game, despite smoothing it over time and again. It’s like a bad-story device it just can’t stop pulling out and playing with, no matter how little sense it makes.

CLARICE, You Can t Rule Me & Get Right with God , March 4 & 11, 2021, Actors: Rebecca Breeds, Michael Cudlitz, Natalie Brown, The Scenes: Krendler tells Clarice why he’s been hard on her & Clarice attempts to escape
Laura B: Clarice attempts to escape, only for Dr. Marilyn Felker to win the fight and give Clarice a dose of something deadly. This is by far my favorite episode to date, given how wonderfully gothic this episode was, but the combination of actresses just really worked, as Natalie Brown was a delightful semi-bonkers character to watch Clarice have to come up against and Rebecca Breeds continues to bring Clarice to life in a way that feels so spot on to the character in the books.
