Plot summary

Alicia and Diane facilitate an immunity deal for an undercover cop who will testify in front of a grand jury that his fellow officers, Task Force members, have been conspiring with gang members to deal in illegal firearms. Two hours later, the cop is dead. The cop's widow files a multi-million dollar wrongful death suit against Cook County and the City of Chicago, and Alicia is her lawyer. Kalinda finds the cache of illegal weapons, but the Task Force officers maintain their innocence in the death of their comrade. Further investigation reveals that the cop's widow was the one who tipped off the gang member of her husband's true identity. Unaware of the widow's involvement, Cook County offer a $500,000 settlement. Alicia agrees to support Peter in his renewed campaign for state's attorney, provided that the kids are not involved and she can continue working.
