Complete story — includes the ending

Alicia defends a documentary film maker who is accused of being responsible for the suicide of a college girl while making a movie about people who kill themselves. The defense's path to victory is blocked by old nemesis Nancy Crozier and a judge who seems to buy Nancy's folksy, innocent act at every turn. When the firm again turns to Caitlin to try and win over the judge and jury, Alicia begins to wonder if her protégé might be her biggest competition at Lockhart/Gardner. As Will serves out his suspension at home under the watchful eyes of his two nosy and manipulative sisters, the power vacuum at Lockhart/Gardner draws the attention of Eli, Julius and David Lee, each of whom wants his name on the company letterhead. Peter struggles with his political campaign as he realizes that his decision to hire people based solely on merit has cost him many of his former allies.
