AUS Television: Rake, Episode 1.8 "R vs. Corella"
Rake
Season One, Episode Eight, R vs. Corella
Original Air Date: December 23, 2010
When the body of a murdered man is discovered in a construction area thanks to a blown water main, Mick Corella is arrested and charged with the murder. Mick wants Cleaver to defend him and sweetens the pot for Cleave by offering to make his $80,000 worth of gambling debts disappear and even give him a $25,000 line of credit. Missy confesses her past to David with disastrous results. Barney and Scarlett come to an understanding. It's time for Cleaver to pay the piper in his tax case but things take a surprising twist.
The action (no pun intended) starts at "a social gathering" seven months ago. Mick Corella (Richard Carter) is holding a swingers party. At the party, his wife, Kirsty (Robyn Malcolm) sees an old acquaintance, Nigel Turner (Paul Gleeson). The two strike up a casual conversation (while still seeing to their current partners, of course). It's clear Kirsty has had feelings for Nigel in the past, and still does. Kirsty introduces Nigel to Mick and the two men even shake hands. Nigel suggests he and Kirsty might be able to get together later to catch up on old times but she declines. Later, in the kitchen, once they are no longer attending to anyone at the party, Kirsty and Nigel again meet and continue talking. Nigel notices that Mick has an eye on them and the two old friends stop talking until he leaves. Kirsty then tells Nigel she would like to catch up and gives him a number where he can reach her.
Fast forward seven months later. A water main blows up in the area where a car park is being extended and a body is found. The body of Nigel Turner. A shopping receipt was left in a bag found with the body giving the police a time and date when the body was buried.

AUS Television: Possible Second Season for Rake?
While there is no official word from ABC1 just yet, there is hope that the awesome legal drama/comedy Rake will return for a second season.
In a 5th November, 2010 article on throng.com.au, the excellent numbers for Rake's debut are detailed. The show debuted with a 20% five city share, an audience of 900,000 which peaked at 938,000. The numbers were an increase of 9% over the same time slot the previous week.
The article quotes ABC1 Controller Brendan Dahill who said: “I am thrilled with the audience response to Rake and we are already in negotiations with the producers for a second series.
“Scheduling Rake on a Thursday night was risky, as it is a long time since the network aired a drama on that night. But I felt viewers wanted some fun later in the week and this wonderfully irreverent drama series fitted the bill perfectly.”
This is an older article, I know, but it is the only thing I've found thus far about the possibility or no of a second series for Rake.
Being a massive fan of Rake, I think it's wonderful news that ABC1 has been speaking with the producers of the show for a second series. It has been a brilliant summer show that hasn't failed to deliver excellent entertainment a single time. Each episode has been a pleasure and this Australian program is just as strong, if not superior, to most shows from the United States or even the UK.
Here's hoping we will be getting official word that a second series will indeed be on the way. If that announcement is made, I'll most certainly have to share the good news!

David Potter starts his political run but will it cause problems between he and Missy?
Cleave tries to get Barney to talk to him and wants Barnyard to even give him a good hit. Barney keeps his cool until Cleave tells his friend he has too much respect for him. He accuses Cleave of never giving respect no matter how much he talks about it and of being a selfish turd. Things don't go too much better when Cleave drops by Wendy's. Fuzz will not let him in the house because neither he or Wendy want him there. He pleads his case to Wendy (and Fuzz) in that he thought his son was seeing a girl his own age and not a 28 year-old woman. She tells Cleaver to not come back until he feels he can shoulder some of the responsibility of raising their son. Cleave walks away grumbling about how their conversation should have gone.
Dr. Bruce Chandler's (Sam Neill) briefcase is stolen as he is at the check out at the market. A policeman later finds the briefcase on the curb and takes it back to his desk to look through it where he finds a DVD hidden in the case. The police pay a visit to Dr. Chandler at the hospital about his stolen briefcase (and the contents of the DVD). Chandler ends up at the police station. When his wife, Jan (Heather Mitchell), comes to visit him, he whispers to her that they found the DVD. She's angry he didn't keep the DVD in their home safe. That wasn't an option because their daughter, Bec (Brooke Harman) has the combination to the safe.

Things go from bad to worse for Dana when it is learned that he has not just two but three wives. Cleaver has an affair with Scarlett. Barney pays a visit to Cleave's office asking about a private investigator and Cleave talks him out of it suggesting instead that he (Barney) talk to her himself. David asks Missy to move in with him. She agrees, but only until he recovers from his injuries and she will make him no promises. Cleaver comes through in a big way to help Missy.
Successful and famous chef George Dana (Lech Mackiewicz) returns home to find Detectives Turner and Bradbury (Johann Walraven) waiting for him. Taylor showers him with compliments and praise for his recipies and cooking while Bradbury gets more to the point about an issue in the Blue Mountains where one of the two restaurants Dana owns is located, with a third to soon be opening in Newcastle. Dana begs the detectives for a moment to freshen up after his long drive which they grant. Dana tries to flee and trips over his sons bicycle on the front walk. The detectives rush out and place him under arrest. Dana assures his wife that, no matter what happens, he loves her.
Cleaver awakens with a woman's hand wrapped around his bits and rolls over to see it's none other than Scarlett sleeping behind him. He replays the previous night over in his head while bashing his forehead against the bathroom mirror. Scarlett walks into the bathroom and asks him "what will become of us all, Mr. Wizard?". His mistake with Scarlett dominates his thoughts all day and his day just gets worse when Nicole shows him the paper with headlines about David Potter's heroism on the front page. He can't help but wonder how the shooter could miss David at point blank range. The news gets better when she reads him the small article about his disgrace on page five.

Rake
Season One, Episode Two, R vs. Marx
Original Air Date: November 11, 2010
Cleave's problems just never end. Mick and Vanessa make him a deal to pay what he owes them. His nemesis, David Potter, becomes a hero after wrestling with a gunman after having been shot by him. His son, Fuzz, wants to use his flat as a meeting place with his girlfriend after school so his mother won't know about their relationship. He learns that Missy has been seeing David Potter. Cleave and Barney take the case of Lucy Marx, a woman who believes her daughter was innocent of the murder she was convicted of. Lucy is charged with tampering with a juror after the trial and she actually wants to go to jail. But, will the affair she starts up with Cleave cause problems for them both?
Mick and Vanessa (Haiha Le), two people Cleave owe a great deal of gambling money to, have a sit down with him to discuss payment arrangements. They have rolled their two debts into one for him to make things easier. They have agreed on an interest rate of 29% compounded weekly that is an exclusive just for him. However, that stellar rate comes with a confidentiality clause. If he tells anyone, that beautiful rate will "literally become crippling interest".
After leaving the meeting with Mick and Vanessa, Cleave runs across Scarlett. They go back to his place where they talk for a little while before he tells her to bugger off back to her husband and kids. Scarlett has pretty much decided she wants to end her marriage which doesn't please Cleave too much. Barney arrives at Cleave's flat leading Scarlett to hide out in the bathroom so he won't know she was there (as she was supposed to be at her sisters). Barney confides in Cleave that he feels something is wrong with Scarlett. He even checked on her at her sisters but was told she'd already left but he suspected she'd never been there. Barney worries his wife has found another man and acknowledges the marriage has been in a rut. Scarlett hears every word he says from where she is hiding.

Rake
Season One, Episode One, R vs. Murray
Original Air Date: November 4, 2010
Cleaver Greene is upset when his favorite call girl, Missy, inexplicably leaves the brothel where she works without telling him. His best friend's wife drops a bombshell on him that she wants to leave her husband. He has tax problems that are constantly dogging him. To top it all off, he takes a new case, one that everyone (well, everyone except Cleve) finds strange and rather disgusting: defending a key government economic advisor Professor Graham Murray who just so happened to eat someone over the course of three days after finding him on the Internet.
Rake is a new comedy/drama on the Australian ABC1. The first season of the series will be delivered in eight, one-hour episodes. It follows the escapades of Cleaver Greene (Richard Roxburgh). Greene is an attorney who doesn't exactly live the typical attorney lifestyle. He has a passion for beautiful women, drinking, wild behavior and generally living life to the fullest. His ex-wife, Wendy (Caroline Brazier) is a psychiatrist who Cleave often goes to when he's having problems to get a "freebie analysis". Cleave and Wendy have a teenage son, Fuzz (Keegan Joyce), who, in many ways, appears to be following in his fathers footsteps. Cleave has a favorite call girl that he likes to patronize, Missy (Adrienne Pickering). She isn't only his favorite method of distraction but is also a friend and confidant. David Potter (Matt Day), who Cleave has a penchant for calling "Harry" (which David doesn't like), is going after Cleave for tax problems that he keeps ducking.
