Eli苦口婆心地劝说Alicia启动参选州检察官的宣传活动,但Alicia固执地拒绝了。与此同时,Diane考虑以合伙人身份加盟Florrick/Agos事务所,但一场内部危机很可能在她加盟之前就毁掉这家事务所。 本季开始的时候,Eli竭力劝说(苦苦哀求)Alicia参选州检察官,但Alicia一直拒绝(你将看到她异常顽固的一面),由此产生了该剧不常见的喜剧效果。Eli is pushing Alicia to run for State's Attorney and seemingly won't take no for an answer. He commissions a poll that shows she could win. Diane's proposed move from Lockhart Gardner Canning is proving to be a hot topic for Alicia and Cary. Diane proposes to bring 45 clients to Florrick Agos but wants Kalinda to come to the firm as well. More problematic is that she wants an equal vote with Alicia and Cary. At LGC Diane informs David Lee and Louis Canning that she's retiring. Everyone is thrown for a loop when Cary is arrested for abetting the transportation of nearly a kilo of heroin with the State's Attorney requesting bail of $1.3 million. Cary suspects it's related to the police trying to get to Lemond Bishop. For Bishop, it means someone in his crew is talking to the police. After the judge rules Alicia ineligible to represent Cary - also because of her link to Bishop - she turns to Diane to represent him. They're having trouble raising the bail money and when they do, the State's Attorney finds a new objection.
