The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Alicia and Will represent a client who allegedly murdered a woman in Chicago during a music festival but is not the only one being tried for her murder. A different man is being tried in another jurisdiction, Minooka, on exactly the same charge, and a guilty verdict in that trial could prove the Chicago defendant innocent. Alicia is tasked with assisting the prosecution in Minooka. Eli is approached by a representative of the United States Department of Justice investigating illegal campaign bribes, ostensibly relating to his ex-wife's campaign for the state senate. Nick is dropped by the firm as a client after it becomes apparent that he is using his tow truck company to smuggle drugs.
