The second season of the FX Damage legal drama series aired on January 7, 2009 and ends on April 1, 2009. It consists of thirteen episodes, bringing the total to 26. Damage was created by Todd and Glenn Kessler's sisters along with Daniel Zelman, who each served as executive producer and donated seven scripts for the season, including premier and finale.
The second season, like the first, follows two different time lines. The main timeline follows Patty, Ellen, and Tom as the company rises against an energy company that has been involved in unethical practices. A former Patty lover, Daniel Purcell (William Hurt), takes the matter to his attention, but then mysteriously returns, leaving Patty up against UNR CEO Walter Kendrick (John Doman) and his fierce lawyer Claire Maddox (Marcia Gay Harden). Meanwhile, Ellen works with the FBI to bring down Patty, while also seeking revenge on Arthur Frobisher for the alleged role in the death of her fiancee. Ellen does not realize that Patty is suspicious of her, and that Frobisher's criminal connection appears to extend to her new friend Wes (Timothy Olyphant).
The second timeline occurred six months later, when Ellen met an unknown person in a hotel room, and then appeared to shoot them.
