The scenes with Cary’s (Matt Czuchry) pre-trial services officer were hilarious. It is sort of funny to see all the lawyers on the other side of the table. One of the conditions of his bond was to inform all of his clients of the current situation. A few clients left, but one stayed. Alicia (Julianna Marguilles) and their new associate, Dean (Taye Diggs) will argue in court on Cary’s behalf.

Alicia wore a Wool Stretch Tweed Jacket by Akris ($3,590) on the first day of court. This Ann Taylor Tweed One Button Jacket ($144.99) is similar:

Alicia and Cary’s client doesn’t like the bickering and fighting in court, so he decides to take his case to a Christian mediation. Who knew there was such a thing? But first Alicia has to take a spin with Cary’s pre-trial services officer. She is oddly hostile towards Alicia, so I’m not sure what was going on there. Alicia wore the Essa Tweed Zip Jacket by Lafayette 148 (sold out). This Kasper Sparkle Tweed Jacket ($47.60) is a great match:

The Matthew Process (aka Christian mediation) is not what the team expected and Alicia has to brainstorm with Grace (MacKenzie Vega) to figure out her next move. At home Alicia lounges in a Vince Thermal Zip Front Hoodie ($395). This Paperwhite Open Knit Cardigan Sweater ($39.95) is similar:

In Cary’s case, the State’s Attorney’s confidential informant was killed and the ASA reveals that Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) may have played a role in letting Lemond Bishop know who he was. Diane (Christine Baranski) wore a blue dress and one of her signature chain link necklaces. To get her look I found this Ann Taylor Side Zip Long Sleeve Dress ($129.99) and this Kenneth Jay Lane Oversize Silver Curb Chain Necklace ($155):

As Alicia rides the elevator with Dean, you get a peak at the top of her Muska Lizard Large Vanna Bag by Muska Milano ($450). This Nine West Modern Proportions Tote Large Shoulder Handbag ($30.58) is similar:

Alicia’s “campaign” is getting out of control and she isn’t even running…until she meets Gloria Steinem at an event for Peter. That was such an amazing moment and you can see that is the moment where she seriously starts to consider it. She looks stunning in an Akris Shimmery Jacquard Short Jacket and Pleat-Detail Dress ($6,580). That is obviously out of my price range so I found this Jacquard Suit from Midnight Velvet ($119.95) that has the same shimmer to it:

Diane is up next with the pre-trial services officer and wears an Armani Collection Tweed Blazer ($576) with her vintage dragonfly pin. To recreate the look I used this Women’s Fringe Textured Jacket ($129) from Land’s End. I had fun searching eBay for vintage dragonfly pins and I liked this one for $22.50 for Diane’s look, but there are a ton!

In the end, Cary’s pre-trial services officer came through for him and he was able to stay out of jail on bail. What was interesting to see was how Alicia has been moving the business forward without him. We get the sense that he isn’t really on board with all of the changes.

Alicia’s final conversation with Castro (Michael Cerveris) was chilling. I think this is what really pushed her over the edge to run. This guy is a real piece of work. I love how Alicia is so calm in these situations. She lets her anger fuel her to success.

I cannot wait to see what happens next, this season is sure shaping up to be a good one!
