- Cary is in danger of losing his bail, and one of Alicia's clients opts to take his case to Christian arbitration. Meanwhile, a feminist icon encourages Alicia to run for office, but she still refuses to take the bait.
- Cary is still feeling the wrath of the potential police state we all live in, which translates to "if the government wants to get you, they will", a variation of Cary's own words. Oh yes, it can happen to you. Some of Chicago's finest lawyers, Alicia and Diane, are working hard to keep him out of government hands, personified here by the long encroaching reach of the increasingly nasty D.A., Castro. In between numerous hearings and the occasional troubling assignation with investigator Kalinda, Cary and Alicia, represent a strangely wholesome GMO seed producer (John Boy) against a farmer whose fields are either being replanted or overrun by the modified strain, depending on your viewpoint. Subsequently they are forced to accept the decision of a religious arbitrator, where the case and arguments abound with righteous consideration and questions possibly far beyond the scope of the other elements of this episode. Amidst all this, constantly buffeted by events nudging her to a political calling, the insistently unwilling Alicia comes face to face with one of her own gods, or Ms. God in this case, and thus a decidedly non-GMO political seed is planted and then unwittingly nourished by her future opponent in a remarkably potent showdown.—Dr. Zohm
- Cary gets a bit of good news when Diane informs him that the State's Attorney's case against him has fallen apart after the main witness against him, their confidential informant, has disappeared. They're both in for a surprise in court when ASA Finn Polmar actually asks for Cary's bail to be revoked. Alicia continues to fight rumors that she will be running for State's Attorney including that she's at the point of staffing a campaign office. Her repeated denials fall on deaf ears and she again gets an endorsement from a well-known public figure. Alicia and Dean Levine-Wilkins are in court representing one of Cary's clients, Ed Pratt, who is suing farmer Wendell Keller for stealing a genetically modified seed that his company spent $400 million developing. Keller's defense is that the seeds blew onto his land from neighboring farms. Pratt and Keller are so fed up with the adversarial approach their lawyers are taking that they opt for binding Christian arbitration. The process doesn't sit well with Alicia and Dean but Alicia turns to an expert to help her build her case.—garykmcd
