Complete story — includes the ending

Alicia and Lucca take on the case of a former company vice president fired for failing a polygraph lie detector test. Concerned about her investigator's previous career as an attorney and subsequent disbarment, Alicia decides to investigate Jason's history. Ruth believes Peter's upward trend in the polls might give him an actual chance to run for President, something which prompts her to reach out to Eli. Diane, Cary, and David decide to hire three new associates, and face a contentious decision when faced with the choice of hiring a young African-American lawyer. Eli, still scheming behind Ruth's back, discovers that Peter played a role in the hacking of election voting machines last year that brought down Alicia's State's Attorney campaign.
