When her husband is involved in a public sex and political corruption scandal that lands him in prison, Alicia Florrick goes back to work as a defence attorney and finds herself handed a tricky case.

A stripper, who was raped at a stag party, is represented by Alicia in a civil suit after the State's Attorney refuses to pursue criminal charges.

Alicia defends a boy accused of murder, and also sees Peter take a call from a prostitute while in her company.

Alicia finds evidence of possible wrongdoing on the jury's part in a case against a major pharmaceutical company. Meanwhile, Peter's legal team work on his appeal.

Three widows of train engineers ask Alicia to represent them when they are blamed for their husbands' deaths in a train crash and not the company.

Alicia and Will work on the appeal of a death-row inmate accused of killing a police officer. Alicia swallows her pride and visits Peter in prison for information on the client, as Peter was the state attorney at the time of the client's conviction.
