Alicia once again faces the impossibly sweet young Nancy Crozier, only this time she-s our co-counsel and - supposedly - on the same side of the case. Although Alicia-s prepared for her innocent-with-a-dagger routine, we initially think it can work toward our common goal: defending our linked clients in a civil suit. But when Nancy proves as dangerous as the opposition, Alicia fights on two fronts and ultimately out-maneuvers her to protect her client.

Meanwhile, when a bombshell drops in the Childs campaign, Alicia is implicated in an ethics scandal. If Alicia is proven to be the source of the leak, it-s not only a blow to the Florrick campaign, but she could be disbarred. Could Childs have leaked the information to get revenge on Alicia? Peter and Eli race to clear Alicia-s name, but when they learn that Childs is innocent, they realize another agenda is at play. A third candidate is setting the stage to enter the State-s Attorney race. Now the question is: who is it?
