TV Review: Boston Legal - "Selling Sickness"
Published February 10, 2007
When she tells Brad and Jeffrey, she also hands them a swab for a paternity test. They agree to it, but Brad immediately gets concerned about what he will do next. Jeffrey reminds him there are two possibilities available.
Jeffrey discusses the situation with Clarence (Gary Anthony Williams), the legal assistant of Claire Simms (Constance Zimmer). Clarence wonders if Jeffrey is scared of what would happen if he were the father, but Jeffrey is more concerned about it NOT being his. Clarence suggests he talk to Denise, and Jeffrey appreciates the advice.
As the results come back, Denise informs Brad he's the father. Jeffrey congratulates them both upon hearing the news, but leaves Denise's office clearly disappointed. I seem to recall Mr. Coho has an offspring of his own. While it's never been explained, I wonder if the child died. This would make Jeffrey perhaps more interested in parenting again.
Brad is none too pleased to hear Denise express a lack of interest in having the baby. He points out aborted kids do not have any future. Denise threatens to get a restraining order if she has to.
Was Brad born blind and selfish? I have a feeling he was more interested in having a carbon copy of himself than anything else. He certainly has little regard for the feelings of Denise. Considering she has told him more than once they wouldn't have a future together, why is he pushing the issue? Brad should have walked away a long time ago.
This episode got back to what Boston Legal is supposed to be about, trying cases. The judges could stand a bit more decorum, since at times they are worse than the lawyers. Speaking of which, Clarence surely has a last name. It needs to be said aloud sometime.

Clarence's last name is Bell. It's been spoken out loud in a couple of episodes.
