The CBS legal drama All Rise returned for a 20-episode third season this June despite being canceled previously. The season picked up where season 2 left off, with Judge Lola Carmichael's seat being contested.
The legal drama explores the nuances of the justice system in the sensitive social climate we stand in today through a courtroom drama, at the center of which is Lola.
Recap of episode 8
All Rise season 3 has focussed on the lives of the Los Angeles courthouse judges, lawyers, public defenders, and prosecutors, with Lola, who has been appointed judge, at the center of it all.
Episode 8 sees Lola getting invited to be a part of a panel at a Stanford conference. Although initially excited at the prospect, when she comes to know that her ex's firm is sponsoring the event, hesitation creeps in. She acts out at Mark, who makes a comment about this and reminds Lola of Robin.
The rest of the episode follows in a dream sequence. Lola imagines life as it would have been had she ended up with Andre. She imagines her luxurious life as a trophy wife in a huge mansion.
Following this, she also sees herself running into Robin, who is married to Rachel, Lola's rival. Rachel crashes the event Lola is delivering a campaign speech for, intensifying the rivalry between the two.
Lola eventually wakes up to find Robin by her side.
