Ellen (Rose Byrne) wants to make it big, establishing herself as the kind of lawyer that her friend/mentor/ex-boss/enemy Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) has become. When she begins to poke around the High Star military company of Howard Erickson (John Goodman), she recognizes that a high school classmate, Chris Sanchez (Chris Messina), might be the witness she brings to grab the limelight. But what she discovers is significantly more complicated and dangerous than winning.

Another dangerous adversary, Jerry Boorman (Dylan Baker) works in the shadows on behalf of Erickson, and proves to be more hands-on than some of the corporate evil that Patty and Ellen confront in the fourth season. But while the two women work toward making the case against High Star, they're also dealing with their own personal issues, like establishing oneself in a male-dominated field (Ellen) or acting as mother to a grandchild (Patty).

The special features go behind the scenes of this ten-episode season, with outtakes that show a different side of the cast, the deleted scenes, and two featurettes: "A Case For War: The Cast And Crew Discuss The Fourth Season" and "The Evolution Of Patty Hewes." Do you find the reasoning presented here to be an accurate depiction of the Blackwater situation? Are any of these decisions acceptable? Or have people crossed the line in terms of war and morality?

The truth is that while this is a courtroom drama, its reach is a lot farther than a Law & Order episode. We're looking at just war, dirty war, and everything in between. The lines will be different for different people, but it seems that everyone will have to pick a side based on the depiction provided in the character of Sanchez, and the treatment he receives in terms of the cover-up. This seriously begs the question: if it's okay, then why does it need to be covered up? If it's acceptable, then there's nothing to hide.

The truth is that even within the context of the morally fluctuating Damages, there's still right and wrong. Our anti-heroes are still working through their decision-making, but in the end, we'll have to consider for ourselves whether the final result is satisfactory in our own eyes.
