Alicia investigates Jason, and the NSA investigates Alicia.

And also, as per usual, Elis schemes are right in the middle of all of the action.

Yes, the format works.

Lets start with Eli this week, shall we?

Lets all take a moment to let that one sink in.

And were moving on.

Peter is now officially going for the presidency.

Poll: Whod make a worse president: Peter or Trump?

With that in mind, Ruth thinks its time that she and Eli learned to work together.

(No offense, vice presidents.)

Heading to Alicias, Eli informs her of the latest decision.

And you know its bad when Alicia bypasses the red wine and goes straight to making a finger margarita.

Then we get this interaction, which mirrors my thoughts:

Alicia: You think he has a chance?

Eli: I thought Trump would self-destruct, so what do I know?

Alicia immediately knows that Eli is up to something, but quite frankly, she doesnt care.

(Yes, becausePeteris the next Obama.)

Regardless, Ruth suggests that Landau not introduce Alicia but rather that he introduce Peter.

So basically, she seems to really be trusting Eli for some reason.

Landau only arranged the hack of the voting machines after Peter asked him to.

Peter, worried that his wife was going to lose, arranged the whole thing.

(And this concludes the 1,000th reason why Peter is the worst husband.)

So at least for now, Eli is backing off.

As for Peter, well hes officially running for POTUS.

Things always get fun with the federal government gets involved.

After the latest setback, Alicia calls the judge involved in Jasons past.

Honestly, this seems like a lot of anger over one punch, right?

Personally, I care more about the latter.

Seriously, what happened to this guy being so paranoid about being found?!

And he really should be, considering that this call re-introduces the NSA to Alicia Florrick.

Quick note to these NSA kids: Whats-his-face goes by the name Will Gardner.

But one good thing does come out of the call.

Here we go again.

And finally, at Lockhart, Agos, and Lee, its associate-hiring season.

There are three spots open and four candidates: Three white men and one black woman.

And when Diane cant get David to agree on Monica, the woman, Diane delivers the bad news.

Only, Monica doesnt go down without a fight.

It seems Monica mightve just found her way into a job at the firm.

At least lets hope so, or else thing are only going to get worse.
