Does He Kill Her...Or Does He F**K Her?

What an interesting twist to this week's show ending. Miguel participates in his first kill, and ends up at Ellen Wolfe's house. As we all can tell, Ellen is the bane of Miguel's existence. He's convinced that without her meddling, he'd be able to get all convictions he wants.

At the same time though, it kind of reminds of a sports rivalry. One day, the teams are talking smack about each other. The next day, they go out and play a round of golf. Seems like in Miguel and Ellen's case - the passion they exhibit in the court house can translate to passion in the bedroom.

It makes sense, though, with their fiery attitudes. We were able to see a side of Ellen when she was acting as Maria LaGuerta's "date" that she likes to flirt with the boys and let her hair down. She was trying to convince Maria to participate with her and to relax more herself, have some fun.

The ending of the show could take two twists -- Miguel (as we can see in the previews for next week) was "fired up" after the kill that he couldn't go straight home. Fueling the fire that his wife Syl could believe that he's having an affair. And the look on Ellen's face when she opened the door wasn't one of "What the hell are you doing at my house this late, mother fucker?" -- it was more like, "hey there, sailor." *wink, wink*

If he went over there to complete the act of killing her, that's one thing -- but if they are having an affair AND she ends up missing next week, this can lead to a very interesting last few episodes of the season.

We also know that Jimmy Smits is signed on for 10 episodes, so perhaps he either goes missing or he "disappears" for two episodes and shows up again in the last one.
