Complete story — includes the ending

Alicia and Will represent a woman who accuses a recently admitted Princeton student of raping her. She sues in civil court because her accused rapist evaded jail in a plea bargain. Her case is hurt, however, when she breaks a gag order and an internet hacker group, Anonymous, decides to get involved in the case. Diane, still being vetted as a potential Supreme Court judge, has to deal with addressing concerns regarding her personal and business life. Dylan Stack, one of the three alleged owners of Bitcoin, returns to Chicago to ask Alicia and her firm to help him execute a class action against prosecutorial overcharging. He ascertains that overcharging is what drove internet activist Aaron Swartz to commit suicide and wants revenge. Cary, after being probed by the new investigator Robyn, is forced to reveal to Alicia he is leaving to form his own firm and invites her to join him.
