Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Eli meets with Alicia to discuss 'oppositional research' that he has conducted and arranges for her to meet her new campaign manager, Jonny Elfman, who advises her to drop Lemond Bishop as a client, which is something he refuses until he discovers from Kalinda that Alicia could be running for State's Attorney. The research uncovers that Neesa, her son Zach's then-girlfriend, had an abortion last year; her brother Owen is sleeping with a married gay porn actor, her mother Veronica spanked another parent's child in a department store and that Castro plans to use a photo of Finn Polmar exiting Alicia's apartment to suggest that they are lovers. Alicia tries to address them before any of these issues can affect her campaign. Eli also finally discovers Peter slept with Kalinda while he was State's Attorney.
