Eli Gold works on getting Peter’s charges dropped, and Alicia defends Colin Sweeney, a client and accused wife killer, who claims self defense after she finds him handcuffed to a dead woman.

Alicia deals with tricky office politics when she’s asked to represent the firm’s senior partner after he’s arrested. Meanwhile, Peter’s evidentiary hearing hits the skids, leading Alicia to suspect that he may, in fact, actually be guilty of corruption.

While Alicia is preparing in a case defending a scientist accused of arson, she is suddenly asked to testify on Peter’s behalf. Damages Peter Riegert guest stars as the judge in Peter’s case and CBS’ The Early Show star Russ Mitchell guests as himself and interviews Peter.

Alicia, representing a daughter of one of the partner in the firm, finds herself very attracted to her co-counsel, mostly because of his unorthodox approach of defending their client.

Alicia is working with Will on the appeal of a death row prisoner, she agrees to a conjugal visit to Peter but just to get some information on her client given that Peter convicted him when he was state’s attorney.
