Summary[]
Liz sues Chumhum over an online review libel case, bankrolled by David Cord, a conservative that wants to challenge Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Diane discovers that Kurt trained one of the Capitol attackers; her attempt to tip off the FBI anonymously to the attacker's identity leads to an investigation by Starkey. Marissa takes a part-time job as a law clerk for Wackner, who later hires Diane, over her objections, to help legitimize his "court". Carmen agrees to represent an accused rapist and fellow inmate of Rivi; the partners object but are overruled by David, who reveals he now oversees the firm on behalf of STR Laurie.
