OK, now we're shocked!
Turns out Patty is the guardian of her granddaughter. The hard-charging lawyer gained custody after ensuring the child's mother was jailed for statutory rape and her father, Patty's son, Michael (Zachary Booth), seemingly tried to run his mom down and went on...

When Damages returns Wednesday (at 10 on DirecTV) for its fourth season, Patty Hewes will be alone and seeing a shrink, while Ellen Parsons takes aim at her first big case against a powerful private military contractor.
Wait, what?

Series executive producers Glenn and Todd A. Kessler and Daniel Zelman say it's a question that will continue to be answered by both women throughout the season.

My mind is just totally blown right now I know Ive said that before but this time I really mean it I feel like Minkowski after his last fateful ride on the time-travel express Between the frantic searching on the Internet for facts and names and the hysterics that came at the end of the episode I hope I am able to articulate everything coherently Be patient with me Tonight we learned that Sun is one of the Oceanic Six Is that list now complete If you include Aaron in the equation Sun makes six survivors But who the heck knows for sure I am so beyond even trying to figure things out ahead of time at this point I simply surrender to the manipulative story-crafting genius of Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof Ben wouldnt stand a chance against these guys I guess that a person well-versed in Chinese and Korean would have known right off the bat that Jins story was unfolding in China during this episode What was not so obvious at least to me He was i
