But thats not to say that the dramas rounding down.
Quite the opposite, actually.

It seems he was at some sort of nerdy after-party when his girlfriend discovered a Foil on the ground.
The Foil is the new Chumhum tablet, which doesnt even hit shelves for another two months.
So in other words, they discovered a prototype.
Instantly, Diane and Cary dont like the idea of this case.
With that, Lucca says theyve given constructive notice and are now in finders-keepers territory.
And yet, Cary and Diane still need to discuss it among themselves.
So while they do that, Jason pays Alicia a sexual tension-filled visit in her new office.
But as Jason puts it, Im freelance.
Yep, its official: That man can make anything sound sexy.
saying that theyre dropping the Howell case.
They dont want to poke the Chumhum bear.
At the police(?)
But considering Howells girlfriend is the one who discovered it, thats unlikely.
To an ant-infested court we go!
(Seriously though, this ant subplot was my favorite part of this episode.)
Apparently, TAPS stands for Technology Allied Protection Service.
Its a multi-agency task force that works with Silicon Valleys biggest companies to clamp down on technology theft.
So basically, its Neil Gross personal police force.
But as the judge points out, conflict of interest is an argument more suited to trial.
The question here is whether theres enough evidence to hold Howell.
And for now, that argument seems to be working.
The good news: They wont find it because Lucca has it.
With that, Diane asks to talk to Alicia about fitting back into the firm.
Lucca is the firms associate, not Alicias associate.
(Ugh, cant you two go back to drinking at a bar and commiserating over Will?)
The answer is no one.
Its simply that when Howell tweeted the picture of the rig, he tweeted it to his 419,000 followers.
And now, Alicia has an idea.
(Seriously though, how did Howell get so many followers?)
The other story line this week begins with Marissa yay!
whos working at a juice bar when FBI agent Roland Hlavin rolls up and asks her to lunch.
But the moment he starts asking questions about Eli, Marissa begins recording the conversation.
She then takes the information straight to her father, who has literally never been so proud.
My favorite quote of the hour?
Now I get why people have children.
They can admire themselves in someone else.
Eli heads straight to judge Schakowsky who says that the FBI asked him about Alicia.
Only this time, Eli shows up.
Eli realizes that theyre going after Peter.
Sticking with Peter could destroy everything Alicias done and everything she wants to do.
Ruths final words to Alicia: Cash out while you still can.
