This was a predictable ending to a mini-season that started out very compelling with Mike at a legal clinic as a consultant, and as a teacher for a short time. The six- episode saga had a lot of promise but the writers squeezed absolutely nothing out of it. Remember the storyline about Rachel not passing the character and fitness? Tabled without warning. Mike as a teacher could have been amazing but they dropped it. Instead, they've turned Mike into the most annoying protagonist on TV. Everything now falls into place conveniently for characters instead of them having to work for it (Jessica just showing up, or more blackmail on Sidell conveniently appearing when needed). The Louis-Tara story reaches new levels of nauseating corniness. Donna's newfound insecurity takes away from the comic relief she usually provides, and her virtual assistant storyline is really boring. I personally liked this show a lot better with Jessica in it.
