Attorney Patty Hewes hires a new associate, Ellen Parsons, to help her as she tries to ruin billionaire businessman Arthur Frobisher.

Ellen works hard to convince her best friend Katie to break her non-disclosure agreement and testify against Frobisher, but Patty isn't convinced that she will give an accurate testimony if she does decide to take the stand.

Patty receives a mysterious threat at her office that could destroy her case against Arthur Frobisher, while Ellen continues to struggle with the demands of her new job at Hewes and Associates.

Katie is getting ready for her upcoming deposition in the Frobisher case, while Gregory withholds information that could be even more important that Katie's.

Frobisher urges Ray Fiske to apply more pressure to Patty, but the relationship between the pair is becoming increasingly fractious.

Patty uses all her tact to find out Gregory's secrets, while Frobisher, after an incident at a basketball game, tears up the playbook in his efforts to salvage his reputation.
