Trask Tries to Save Her Job / Thursday (Read 72 times)

Paulina has summoned Trask. She cuts off Trask's speech about how wonderful a mayor Paulina will be by telling her she's fired.

Trask doesn't understand. She worked hard and got the crime rate down. Paulina says that Trask made her and Chanel miserable and arrested Chanel at the celebration of Abe's re-election. Trask stammers that the evidence Sloan had suggested a crime was committed. Paulina says she didn't have to do it that way. She enjoyed humiliating them. Now Paulina is enjoying firing her.

Trask says she can create a high profile conviction: Li Shin. She'll have dinner with him tonight and get his confession.  Paulina doesn't want to know the details.

Later, Trask meets with Li and tries to tell him how much she missed him. Li says he knows she's playing him. He has a recording of her conversation with Paulina and explains he put a bug in the teddy bear he gave Trask. He says she shouldn't be upset. They were playing each other and didn't mean anything to one another. He goes.

Paulina happens by and Trask says dinner didn't go as planned. Paulina tells her to pack her things and get out.

Trask texts Sloan that she just got dumped before heading to her office. She grabs the teddy bear and yells at it that she knows why Gabi dumped Li. She grabs a gavel as Sloan walks in. Trask tells Sloan that Paulina fired her. Sloan says this is good news for her. She needs an adoption attorney and now Melinda needs a job.

Never thought I would see the day watching Trask running down the street afraid and squealing. And Li's Teddy Bear move was a touché move answering Trask's sleazy moves. All is fair in love and war.

But Paulina is no saint either and not unexpectedly she sent the Iron Woman a packing. This whole thing might have a tail. Trask is not one to meddle with and I suspect this won't end peacefully.

My guess is Trask will team with Rawlings to take down Paulina or Abe if he returns. Hard to envision Trask going quietly into the night.

Go Li. I'm so happy he got the upper hand for a change.

Trask is reaping what she sows.
