Alicia apologizes and Diane tells Alicia Lucca has to understand she works for the firm and not Alicia.
Alicia tells Diane she is back and she feels Lucca should not be given grunt work. Diane thanks her for her advice and dismisses Alicia.
Alicia goes up to Neil Gross and tells him, “Hypothetically if I knew where the Foil was and I could convince my client to return it would you convince Tapps to drop the charges?” Mr. Gross agrees he would as long as he got the Foil and he also finds out how Howell got the Foil. Alicia says, “No Way!”
Mr. Gross is testifying and aggrandizing. The Prosecutor asks Mr. Gross if the theft was a Marketing Stunt and Mr. Gross denies it. Mr. Gross then claims the Foil is defective and he would not release it because it is not perfect.

The judge asks Alicia about her new defense and Alicia tells the Judge that Mr. Howell is a journalist and his tweet about the Foil was shared and it sparked public debate. The Prosecution argues the point. The Judge agrees his tweet added to public discourse and the court considers Mr. Howell a journalist and he can go free. Howell hugs Alicia.
Later Cary comes to Lucca and tells her the Journalist idea was a home run and she thanks him. Cary tells her he now needs her to do something else. Lucca comes into the boardroom to work with Monica.
Ruth comes to visit Alicia and bring her an office warming present. Ruth tells her she was surprised she came back she thought she revelled in her independence. Alicia asks Ruth what she is up too. Ruth tells Alicia, “Mrs. Florrick I don’t want you to get too comfortable.” Alicia is confused. Ruth tells Alicia that Peter has a target on his back. Alicia says anyone in public life does but Ruth says not like this. Ruth tells Alicia Peter could hurt her, drag her down, not only destroy everything she has done but everything she wants to do. Ruth tells her to, “Cash out while she still can.”
