Everyone is corrupt, and the new Alicia really doesn’t care.
In case you all didnt know, this season, were dealing with New Alicia.
Heres what we know about her:
She reports only to herself.

She has swapped wine for tequila.
Shes much calmer than Old Alicia.
She has no problem using Peter for sex.
Shes clearly a little turned on by danger (especially when it looks like Jason).
And you know what?
Now all we need is for Eli to join her.
This week, the central case brings together Louis Canning, Diane and Cary, and Alicia.
Canning is representing the victim of a car accident whos now paralyzed as a result of the crash.
Now, its time to play the blame game in depositions.
But not until after Alicia sits in for the first time on the Chicago Election Board.
Remember when Frank Landau told her that her first vote would have to be a no?
Well, this is what he was referencing.
And turns out, the vote is about election machines.
Craig Hallman wants to replace the current contractor KLT for election machines with a new one.
Frank, of course, wants to keep KLT.
Alicia does as she was asked and votes no…but thats only the beginning of this madness.
More on that later.
First, Alicia has to deal with two things:
1.
Jason, whom she invites over for a drink.
A new article thats (correctly) reporting that she and Peter havent shared a bed in three years.
You know, in case he hurts himself.
(Read: Beats someone up.)
Of course, Jason sees right through it, but he signs it anyway.
(Any man who can make frozen tacos sound sexy should definitely stay for dinner.)
But because Peter is the worst, he shows up just in time to ruin the evening.
As for Jason, we get this oh-so-sexy exchange:
Alicia: Well talk, right?
But this is politics, so what does truth matter, right?
Only hes offering for Alicia to replace Landau as chair.
Alicia doesnt want to be chair.
So basically, everyone is corrupt.
(If only that were her only problem.)
Jason also discovers that the cars hard drive was erased after the accident.
Back in the deposition, Diane introduces Mr. Dudowitz, the original developer of the car.
But thats not where the case ends.
Instead, after a ride in the car, Dudowitz realizes that hackers were behind the accident.
And because the hackers came from inside the company, it seems Diane and Cary have lost this one.
Better luck next time, guys.
Meanwhile, theres a line that throws me for a loop.
Alicia: Its always sexier not to care.
Peter: Why is that?
Alicia: Because sex is sexier without love.
Remember when she could have sexy sex with someone she loved?
Yeah, now Im depressed.
These two are officially going to start offending everyone as a team.
On behalf of everyone everywhere, Alicia has the perfect reaction: Laughing uncontrollably.
So shes going to back Peter.
(Who knew all he had to do was be boring?)
