C.J.'s Coat
C.J. grabs her coat and pulls it on at Club Iota as a leak crisis forces her to rush back to the office, the action punctuating the end of late-night celebration. The garment conveys haste amid Josh, Toby, Donna, and Jill Sobule. Later, on the snowy residential street outside Donna's building, a coat functions as protective layer against the cold and prop for intimate gestures during the team's good-cop/bad-cop confrontation with Josh, Toby, Will, Charlie, and Donna pressing for accountability.
