Plot summary

Alicia attempts to revive her law career by working as a bond court attorney, representing indigent defendants and practicing privately. In her first day at bond court, she befriends a fellow attorney, Lucca Quinn, who passes cases off to her as a favor. Meanwhile, Louis Canning tries to attract Alicia to work for him, but she rejects the offer, which makes him set Alicia's next case up against Diane and David Lee, unbeknownst to her. After Alicia agrees to support it, Peter rushes to launch his VP campaign, deciding to fire Eli and hire a national campaign manager, Ruth Eastman. Eli decides to seek revenge against Peter and Ruth by becoming Alicia's campaign manager and revive her image. At Lockhart, Agos & Lee, Cary laments the outmoded work culture and decides to open up to the younger associates.
