- As Alicia defends a husband accused of murdering the babysitter, she and her family prepare for the outcome of Peter's appeal and his possible homecoming.
- Peter Florrick's hearing requesting a new trial finally opens and Alicia is having to deal with the possibility that he will soon be returning home. She tells him what she expects of him. When Peter's nemesis, State's Attorney Glenn Childs, subpoenas investigator Kalinda Sharma, she has to decide what she is going to say on the stand. With all of this going on, Alicia also has to deal with a high profile murder when one one the firms corporate clients, Sonja Rucker, shows up at the office claiming that she found their babysitter beaten to death in their bathroom. The immediate suspicion is that her unemployed husband, Eugene Rucker, might be implicated and it very quickly becomes clear that the police are working flat-out to get evidence against him and not really looking at other suspects. It doesn't help that Eugene is being less than honest with his own lawyers and that the police have already caught him in one lie.—garykmcd
- Sonya Rucker, whose company is a client of Alicia's firm, has a crisis. Her babysitter, Lisa Pruit, was murdered at Rucker's home, and her husband, Jason Rucker, is the lead suspect. Will and Diane call in Alicia and Cary to help with the case. Cary had thought he had the following day off and has taken mushrooms with a friend in from Seattle; he must pull himself together for the next 48 hours. At the crime scene, Kalinda notices a small item that appears to be a rubber nub from the bottom of a laptop. When contact is finally made with Jason, who claims to have been in a movie, they bring him into the firm and have him take a polygraph test before the police arrive to arrest him. As Will, Alicia and a tripping Cary question Jason, they discover that he was at his studio where he has been working on a graphic novel. Lisa was working with Jason on a graphic novel at his studio, but their relationship did not go any further than that. At first, Kalinda suspects the neighborhood security guard is responsible for the murder, but turns her attention towards one of Lisa's classmates, Max, when she discovers a rubber nub is missing from the bottom of his laptop. Max may have gotten Lisa pregnant, but when she wouldn't have an abortion, he killed her and tried to frame Jason. Kalinda is subpoenaed to testify at Peter's appeal trial where she describes working for both Peter and Childs. Peter wins his appeal and is released to home arrest with electronic monitoring.
