Almost a year has passed since Ellen Parsons left Hewes and Associates. She is now working in the District Attorney's office and is dealing with a fairly important drug case, trying to get a dealer to reveal the identity of his supplier. Patty Hewes is now acting on behalf of a group of investors trying to recover money they had entrusted to Louis Tobin and who, it turns out, was running a Ponzi scheme. With billions of dollars unaccounted for, Patty is trying to find any funds that may have been hidden by the Tobin family. Patty and Ellen have had no contact since her departure but Patty has been reluctant to re-assign her office, convinced that Ellen will return. She even sends her an expensive handbag. Ellen wants nothing to do with her however and when she thinks Patty may be interfering with her drug case, tells her she doesn't need any help. She also tells her that any secrets she may have are perfectly safe. In a flash-forward 6 months into the future, Patty Hewes is in a serious accident when another car broadsides her vehicle in an intersection. The occupant of the other vehicle has fled but it is registered to someone she knows.

FX宣布现代西部警匪剧《释罪》（Justified）将于3月16日播出。该剧是根据根据2001年Elmore Leonard撰写的小说《Fire In The Hole》改编，讲述美国联邦执法官Raylan Givens（Timothy Olyphant扮演）使用传统方法来解决现代案件的故事。「Justified」这个名字有一定的宗教含义，在神学上指「上帝把人从与滔天罪行相连的惩罚中解脱出来」。Raylan是个西部牛仔味很浓的警察，永远戴着一顶斯泰森毡帽，穿着一双牛仔靴，屁股上的牛皮枪套里插着一支备用手枪。不到万不得已的时候，他不会使用手枪－－因为一旦他拔出枪来，对手就必须流血。他认为这就是手枪的作用：要么不用，要用就一击必杀。Raylan在肯塔基州的乡村里出生，在小镇Harlan上长大。在那里，他度过了自己的青涩年代。打球、追女孩子、挖煤，这曾经是他生活的全部。19岁那年，他下决心要当一个联邦警察，于是毅然离开家乡。几年以后，他如愿以偿。正当他准备大展宏图之际，却因在迈阿密一家旅馆射杀持枪匪徒的「意外事件」遭致上司不满。作为对他的惩罚，上司将他调回他发誓再也不回去的家乡－－肯塔基。

这个夏天，USA电视台为你精彩呈现《干嘛炒我（Burn Notice）》第四季。上季了解雇黑名单的特工Michael Westen（Jeffrey Donovan扮演）被困在家乡迈阿密，无钱无路。他千方百计想要找出被解雇的原因。同时，他用自己独特的特工技术和受过严格训练的 身手帮助陷入困境的人们。

　在今年艾美奖上，JuliannaMargulies到手的「最佳情节剧女主角奖」被半路杀出的KyraSedgwick抢走，真是令人始料未及。不过，JuliannaMargulies自称并不看重荣誉。在上季结尾，Peter高调重返政坛，而Alicia在最后关头接到了Will打来的「求爱」电话。与此同时，新公司的命运令人担忧－－与另一家公司合并后，Will和Alicia的前途很可能大受冲击。吝啬的CBS在描述新季首集时只用了一句话：与Will的感情和与Peter的婚姻让Alicia左右为难，Alicia必须做一个决断。
