In its first season, Ellen Parsons, played by Rose Byrne, started working for Patty Hewes at Hewes and Associates. As a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she was excited when she got placed in a high-profile case the firm was pursuing, a case against Arthur Frobisher, a powerful billionaire.

If you have not yet watched Season 1 of Damages, please do not read any further, as THIS POST CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!

It seemed innocent enough until we learn that Patty Hewes had become determined to get Frobisher and will do anything and everything for that to happen. Ellen later found out that some of the tragic things that have happened were Patty’s doing. She left when she realized the case and working at Hewes and Associates were putting strains on her relationship with her fiance and her sanity.

Confused with Ellen’s decision, Patty assumed it was disloyalty that made Ellen resign and she attempted revenge by having her killed. The plan backfired, and this made Ellen determined more than ever to bring Patty Hewes down.

In Season 2, she will do just that. Ellen has decided to work undercover for the FBI to get relevant information to bring down Patty Hewes. Meanwhile, Patty Hewes has a new client, Daniel Purcell (played by William Hurt), an energy consultant accused of murdering his wife. And, to make things more interesting, Arthur Frobisher is not dead. And, he is well enough to create more havoc in Patty Hewes’ life.

Looks like Season 2 is gearing up to be as exciting and thrilling as the first season.
