Complete story — includes the ending

Alicia's firm handles a defamation suit for Colin Sweeney who accuses a TV production company of defaming him with the depiction of a character very much like him murdering his wife. The defence argues it isn't defamation because it is true. Kalinda is asked by Lemond Bishop to pick up his son from school, and Kalinda witnesses first hand how he struggles with single parenthood. Alicia successfully lobbies for the campaign donations of a wealthy but crass and uncouth figure, much to Prady's annoyance and her own regret.
