Though shes not technically allowed to do so, she dives in with overwhelming confidence.

Its one of the shows messiest, most emotionally charged cases and one of its most personal.

Even in its comedic beats, the show continues to reflect Sarahs growth.

All shes ever wanted was to earn Olympias approval and prove shes a great lawyer.

Though the woman still believes Dino might be responsible, Sarah doesnt push like a lawyer trying to win.

Theres also anundeniable charisma to Lewiss performancethat elevates the entire storyline.

She knows exactly when to lean into humor and when to let the emotional beats breathe.

Shes one of those rare actorswho can deliver a cutting one-liner without ever losing the warmth or sincerity underneath.

It wouldnt be surprising if showrunnerJennie Snyder Urmanand the rest of the writers craftedSarahs arc around Lewiss natural range.
