After All Rise left so many unanswered questions, “Unwanted Guest” has some very high expectations — and a chance to make a big impact. Yet the episode opens with Ness Johnson having an up-tempo fantasy sequence, before the audience is reminded that she’s unconscious in the ICU after being stabbed. Things haven’t calmed down at the Hall of Justice either, as protesters are outside the doors about a vandalism case that Mark Callan and Luke Watkins are handling. Judge Lola Carmichael is rightly presiding over a meeting in Courtroom 802 to discuss how everyone can move forward after the riot that wounded Luke, Ness and Teddy Biswas.Lola explains to the assemblage that she can’t erase the violence that they experienced, but extra security and extended counseling are being provided to the group, who all still look shell-shocked. The only potential silver lining, if there is one, is that the assembled now have “a deeper understandng of the suffering that comes with being the victims of violent crime. But it is my hope that we will use this to become more caring and dedicated to our very important work.”With the events of the midseason finale acknowledged, Luke explains to his Native American client that there’s footage of her bulldozing a university building that was allegedly built on her tribe’s sacred land. The client isn’t bothered at all by this and has a smudging performed for Luke to assist him during the trial. He wants Lola to allow him to discuss the historical context behind the vandalism; Mark believes that the bigger issue will distract from and potentially influence the merits of their specific case. But everyone jumps when Teddy makes an unexpected appearance in the courtroom — no, he’s not dead, he was just held up at security. “Your mom told me you quit!” Mark says, but loses the motion. His reaction pales in comparison to the angry college student who tries to approach the bench and is wrestled out by two sheriff’s deputies.RELATED: All Rise’s Lola Carmichael and Mark Callan Have TV’s Truest Friendship
