The Big Picture Toward the end of Season 1, ruthless litigator Patty Hewes is approached by her protégée, young lawyer Ellen Parsons , for a tense interaction. Ellen has taken the initiative to talk to an informant without asking permission from her boss. It doesn't go over well. “You have jeopardized the only serious lead we still have,” Patty says, grinding her teeth.

Release Date July 24, 2007 Cast Glenn Close , Rose Byrne , Ryan Phillippe Main Genre Drama Seasons 5 What Is Season 1 of 'Damages' About? Damages' first season puts into place a formula that the following installments would continue to use. A flash-forward depicts two timelines, the past and present, for viewers. As the episodes go on, the timelines get closer until the finale answers the mysteries.

A Major Death Sends ‘Damages’ Into the Season 1 Finale The poor dog won’t be the last act of violence. A key witness to the case is silenced in a hit-and-run by assailants on Frobisher’s side. After Ellen finally gets herself fired , the two women are intertwined by this point. At a crucial point, Ellen gains blackmail info on the opposing attorney, Ray Fiske , which could be what helps win the case. “We attorneys survive,” Patty tells Ray, “It’s the clients that come and go.

Viewers then learn two major revelations: Damages confirms Patty did try to have Ellen murdered, fearing she would go to the police over Ray’s death. She feels tremendous guilt over the murder attempt due to how much she has come to care for Ellen, whom she seems to view as a surrogate daughter to the one she lost from a miscarriage decades ago. Patty happily wants Ellen back at Hewes & Associates for a double agenda that will have her be Ellen’s mentor and keep a close eye on her.
