Well, the first episode of this final season of Damages certainly set the stage for one wild last ride. It’s going to be Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) vs. Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) in court – and three months later, thanks to a flash-forward glimpse, it’s going to be Patty in handcuffs, and Ellen on the ground, looking all the worse for wear, in an alley (pictured). Whets the appetite for more? Absolutely. And what happened to the whistleblower played by Jenna Elfman in the premiere? Absolutely brutal.
