Complete story — includes the ending

Dubeck asks Alicia to submit to a voluntary deposition; Alicia agrees, having Cary act as her attorney. During the deposition, Dubeck claims Will is going to testify against Peter. Kalinda tells Will that she wants to leave LG, but not to work for Florrick/Agos; Will claims that they go through this routine every few months. Will is defending Jeffrey Grant at trial, who is suffering in general lockup, but refuses to accept protective solitary confinement. Kalinda finds evidence suggesting Grant's innocence; however, before she can bring it to court, Will sees more evidence of Grant being attacked and requests solitary confinement, which apparently causes Grant to snap. Diane is arguing another case in the courthouse when she and Kalinda hear several gunshots. Kalinda enters Will's courtroom, where she finds the prosecutor, Finn Polmar, holding Will; both were shot and Will is unconscious. Grant is holding the gun, trying to kill himself, but the gun is out of bullets. At the hospital, Diane and Kalinda find Will's body. The episode ends with Kalinda calling Eli and Alicia, who are at a media event, to inform them of Will's death.
