Plot summary

Alicia agrees to engage in a TV interview, when hacked emails revealing Alicia's affair with Will are sent to the press. Eli contrives ways to pre-empt the public fallout, by "pre-spinning" the emails as merely a flirtatious dalliance. Peter also advises Alicia on the potential scandal and gives an interview to assist Alicia. An internal affairs investigation catches on to Kalinda's forgery of metadata that was inadvertently submitted as evidence that prompted Cary's earlier release from jail. Diane engages in a mock trial for a wealthy new conservative client indecisive as to whether he should fund an appeal for a wedding planner who was found guilty of discrimination against a gay couple.
