When a very public sex and political corruption scandal lands her husband in jail, housewife Alicia Florrick must get past the humiliation and betrayal and assume responsibility for her family. She resumes her career as a defence attorney by taking a junior associate's post at a prestigious Chicago law firm, where an old friend from law school is now a partner. As she competes to win the only full-time associate's position, she sheds her persona as the embarrassed wife of a politician and takes charge of her own destiny.

Alicia defends a lawyer (Jason Biggs) who was arrested for not revealing the name of a client who illegally invented a new online currency.

Wendy Scott-Carr presents her evidence against Will in an effort to send him to prison; Eli and Stacie Hall face off.
