The second episode jumps right in with Alicia (Julianna Marguilles) and Cary (Matt Czuchry) still arguing over Diane (Christine Baranski) joining their firm. Alicia has the upper hand since Cary is still in jail and things look murky as the bail money is in question.

Next, we are introduced to Dean (Taye Diggs) as a partner from New York who is setting up shop in Chicago. Diane also announces her “retirement” at the Lockhart Gardner staff meeting and convinces Dean to join her.

We also get a little nod to one of the flashbacks last year as Alicia faces Lorraine, a woman she interviewed with when she started looking for a job and wouldn’t hire her.

Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) has a hard time working with Bishop’s crew as she knows who was wearing the wire and if Bishop finds out, he will be killed. Kalinda wears the Anasta Jacket from The Row ($2,790). This Express Leather Double Peplum Moto Jacket ($128) is similar:

Peter (Chris Noth) refuses to sign a second mortgage with Alicia on her condo which she was going to use for Cary’s bail. He tells her that it isn’t a smart move. He does have a good point, but their relationship is further strained.

That doesn’t seem to matter as people are beating down the door to offer Alicia money for Cary’s bail because they think she is running for office. Robin (Jess Weixler) tries to convince her to take the money, but she refuses. Robin wears the most adorable Alice + Olivia Cloud Print Cardigan (sold out). I couldn’t find a similar cardigan, but I did find two other cloud items. The first is a  Vince Camuto Sleeveless Cloud-Print Shell ($99) and the second is a Forever 21 Cloud Print Cutout Cami ($12.80):

The back and forth between Alicia and Eli (Alan Cumming) is hilarious. He just can’t help himself when he sees the possibility of a winning campaign. I loved her Escada Bore Jacquard Scuba Jacket (Sold out). I found this similar Ivanka Trump Zip Front Jacket ($139) that has the same exposed zipper and definitely looks like it could be in her wardrobe:

Alicia held a vote and the partners agreed to allow Diane and her team to join the firm. Watching Diane and Dean walk out of LGC gave me goosebumps. Who would have predicted this last year when we saw Alicia leave. So crazy! Diane’s Escada Leopard Jacquard Coat ($2795) was also stunning! This Piperlime Leopard Coat ($159) is similar:

I think watching Cary and Alicia reunite was the best part of this episode. It was so touching, especially because they’ve never had that type of relationship.

I can’t wait to see what happens next and if Alicia, Diane and Kalinda will be able to keep him out of jail.

The Season 6 premiere picks up right where we left off, with Eli (Alan Cumming) asking Alicia (Julianna Marguilles) to run for State’s Attorney. She is having no part of it and is more focused on her potential merger with Diane (Christine Baranski). Cary (Matt Czuchry) doesn’t want to participate in merger talks at all but Alicia convinces him to hear Diane out.

Unfortunately, before he can do anything, Cary gets arrested and we have no idea why!!

Alicia and Diane meet and wait for Cary, but he obviously doesn’t show up. Diane promises to bring her clients, but wants to bring Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) with her and she wants an equal vote.

At the meeting Diane wore the Etro Ponte Paisley-Bodice Dress (849.79 EU). I liked this Karen Kane Goldtone Sequin Front Dress ($138) as a similar look:

As the episode continues, we find out that Cary was arrested for a drug charge, but we don’t know how or why just yet. Cary is so creative – he gets one of the Lockhart Gardner clients he bumps into in general population to tell Kalinda that he is in there. She tells Alicia and gets the ball rolling on his case.

Once Alicia gets there we find out that Cary is accused of a heroin offense – the felony sale of 900 grams! Bail is set in the millions turning this into a much bigger problem than Alicia and Cary could have anticipated. They figure out that this is tied to one of their clients, Mr. Bishop (Mike Colter). They say that Cary advised Bishop on how to sell drugs.

Diane breaks the news to David Lee (Zach Grenier) and Louis Canning (Michael J. Fox) that she will retire at the end of the month…aka move to Cary and Alicia’s firm.

Alicia gets replaced as Cary’s attorney because she also represents Lemond Bishop. She asks Diane to help represent Cary and sets Canning and Lee off on suspicion that Diane is going to their firm. Alicia wears the Jeisina Textured Stretch Cotton Striped Blazer by BOSS ($595). I found this similar Emporio Armani Blazer ($275):

Diane gets involved, which means putting Kalinda on the case…good for her, Kalinda’s been working it the whole time. Sometimes I think that Diane is my favorite. She is always cool, calm and collected. She wears a St. John Collection Milano Knit Bateau Neck Long Sleeve Draped Dress (745.65 EU). This American Living Ruffled Faux-Wrap Dress ($69) is a great look for less:

Things get much more complicated, when Bishop brings 1.5 million to Alicia’s office for Cary’s bail. Then Kalinda finds out that there is a recording of Cary telling Bishops men how to avoid jail for their next drug shipment…he might be screwed. Diane has taken over as his lawyer now and I loved this floral blazer she wore. I found this Susan Graver 3/4 Sleeve Printed Floral Textured Jacket ($42.98) for a similar look:

So in the end, our former friend Finn Polmar (Matthew Goode) questioned the bail funds and Cary has to stay in lockup for at least another week. I can’t believe how awful that turned out for him!

Some of the funny moments were with Eli and his daughter, hilarious and cut some of the serious moments, so I thought that was great writing.

I can’t wait to see what happens next week! The first episode was crazy so far!!
