Cary is arrested, charged with helping trafficking $1.3 million worth of heroin. Florrick/Agos struggle to come up with the bail money. Kalinda investigates on her own and re-acquaints herself with an old contact connected with the case. Diane's offer to join Florrick/Agos stands on the condition she gets an equal vote with Alicia and Cary. David Lee and Louis Canning get suspicious of Diane when she declares her intention to retire. Cary is held in jail, with bail set at $1.3 million and Florrick/Agos struggles to come up with the funds, when they are provided by a drug dealer client of Alicia's. Against Alicia's wishes, Eli conducts polling on any potential campaign for the State's Attorney office for Alicia and discovers that Alicia has a very good chance of winning against the incumbent. He schemes to get Peter's approval.

Alicia takes over one of Cary's cases, which involves Neil Gross's wife, who having been made General Counsel of Chum Hum becomes concerned over Cary's arrest. Alicia must also find a new source for Cary's bail money, which is withdrawn after she is unable to prevent Bishop getting subpoenaed over Finn's source of funds dispute. Kalinda's investigation into the wire recording that implicates Cary takes a bad turn as one witness is killed by Bishop, who mistook him for the confidential informant. Diane, on the verge of retiring from Lockhart/Gardner & Canning, attempts to get a partner, Dean, to come with her to Florrick/Agos. Eli, meanwhile, now having Peter's approval to pursue Alicia's State's Attorney campaign, again tries to convince Alicia to run.

Cary's bail is in jeopardy when the State applies to revoke bail after a key witness, a confidential informant, disappears. A pre-trial service officer must determine whether he continues to remain free. Florrick/Agos handle a case whereby the defendant and the plaintiff, both neighbors, try to resolve a patent infringement case outside traditional court – instead seeking a resolution inside "Christian Arbitration", whereby Biblical teachings are used to guide a conclusion. Alicia, constantly annoyed by people who think she is running for State's Attorney, tries to squelch all the speculation when a chance encounter with Gloria Steinem and veiled threats from the State's Attorney give her pause to reconsider.

Eli meets with Alicia to discuss 'oppositional research' that he has conducted and arranges for her to meet her new campaign manager, Jonny Elfman, who advises her to drop Lemond Bishop as a client, which is something he refuses until he discovers from Kalinda that Alicia could be running for State's Attorney. The research uncovers that Neesa, her son Zach's then-girlfriend, had an abortion last year; her brother Owen is sleeping with a married gay porn actor, her mother Veronica spanked another parent's child in a department store and that Castro plans to use a photo of Finn Polmar exiting Alicia's apartment to suggest that they are lovers.

During the trial, all the files on Florrick/Agos computer systems are maliciously encrypted by ransomware, which demands $50,000 for the decryption key. After making the payment, Diane accidentally provides her old LG e-mail address for the decryption key, which forces her to return to David Lee to ask for it back; while there Diane also discovers that LG's building lease is still signed to her.

Alicia and Elsbeth, putting aside their previous lawsuit, band together to fight AUSA Josh Perotti's charge of intellectual property theft against Alicia's client, which evolves into economic espionage.

While investigating, Kalinda finds Trey Wagner, the missing witness who was originally to testify against Cary.

Charles Lester, Lemond Bishop's personal attorney, starts snooping around trying to find Kalinda after she disappears. Alicia expresses her disapproval to Eli after he tries to direct the depiction of Alicia in her memoirs as being more domesticated, much to her displeasure.

David Lee discovers Louis Canning's wife, Simone, now works at the firm as a paralegal, and both he and Cary want to fire her, something Diane as senior partner does. This angers Canning, who vows to destroy the firm and in the last scene asks Alicia if she wants a legal partner.
