Description: Damages Season 4 Episode 7 - I'm Worried About My Dog First Aired: 24 August 2011 Summary : Damages , Nasim is accused of lying; Ellen enlists a war journalist to track down Chris in Afghanistan; and Erickson negotiates a land deal.
Damages is a show of diminishing marginal returns, starting from its premise. The elaborate setup of flashforwards and flashbacks was revolutionary in the first season, especially with a bloody Ellen running into the street. But after three seasons, we know what to expect. The devilish twists and turns don't quite have the pop they used to have, and there will always be the combinations of corrupt corporate types and hired hit men.
And yet, Damages remains a fascinating show, stretching the boundaries of television storytelling when so few shows take that extra step. The push-pull relationship between Patti and Ellen, despite them going back and forth many, many times, is still interesting, as each character evolves separately and their relationship in turn also evolves. The clues are doled out slowly, the writers refusing to give us easy answers and by the end of the episode the viewers--along with Ellen and Patti-are sucked into a crusade that will last a season.
