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.
