Damages, a legal drama television series, premiered in United States on July 24, 2007 on the cable network FX.[1] The series, created and produced by brothers Todd and Glenn Kessler with Daniel Zelman, revolves around Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), senior partner in New York-based law firm Hewes and Associates, and her protégée Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne). The series involves high stakes litigation with class action lawsuits involving severe damages.

The first season of the series debuted on July 24, 2007[1] and consisted of thirteen episodes concluding on October 23, 2007.[2] The second season was delayed due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, and premiered on January 7, 2009.[3] The season, again consisting of thirteen episodes, ended on April 1, 2009. The third season premiered on January 25, 2010 and aired its finale on April 19, 2010.[4] On July 19, 2010, DirecTV announced that, after months of negotiation, Damages would be picked up for two additional seasons consisting of ten episodes each to be aired on the Audience Network beginning in 2011.[5]

Every episode title is a line of dialogue spoken by a character in the episode.

Episode list

Season 1 (2007)

Most of the season follows two different timelines. The primary timeline begins with Ellen Parsons' (Rose Byrne) recruitment by Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) to "Hewes & Associates" and follows proceedings of a class action lawsuit against Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson) by his former employees, whom Patty represents. The initial episodes follow Patty's attempts to capture potential witness Gregory Malina (Peter Facinelli) through Katie Connor (Anastasia Griffith). The arc further details Malina's involvement with Frobisher's lawyer Ray Fiske (Željko Ivanek) and the pressure Patty brings to bear on Fiske on Malina's subsequent death.

The narrative includes multiple flashforwards of the alternative timeline, set approximately six months after Ellen's appointment, until both timelines converge in the penultimate episode of the season. The alternative timeline details the attack on Ellen, her arrest for the murder of her fiancé David Connor (Noah Bean), and the subsequent murder investigation.

Season 2 (2009)

FX renewed the series for a second season that began airing in January 2009.[16] It was originally scheduled to begin airing during summer 2008, but due to the Writer's Guild Strike, it was pushed back, resulting with the production for season 2 starting exactly 11 months after the series premiered on FX.

The second season, like the first, follows two different timelines. The primary timeline follows Patty, Ellen and Tom Shayes (Tate Donovan) as the firm goes up against an energy company who have engaged in unethical practices. A former lover of Patty's, Daniel Purcell (William Hurt) brings the matter to her attention but then inexplicably backs out, leaving Patty up against UNR CEO Walter Kendrick (John Doman) and his fierce lawyer Claire Maddox (Marcia Gay Harden). Meanwhile, Ellen works with the FBI to bring down Patty, while also seeking revenge on Arthur Frobisher for his presumed role in her fiance's death. Ellen is unaware that Patty is suspicious of her, and that Frobisher's criminal connections appear to extend to her new friend Wes (Timothy Olyphant).

A second timeline takes place five months later, when Ellen meets with an unknown person in a hotel room, and subsequently appears to shoot them.
