And the Two Partners Had a Fight...

And the Two Partners Had a Fight... is the sixth episode of the fifth season of The Good Fight. It aired on July 29, 2021.

Summary[]

The firm adopts a new Slack-like work app which leads to anonymous bitching about the partners, and most of all Diane: the white name partner of a black law firm, whose husband is a staunch Republican whose hunting buddies included white supremacist rioters. Liz suggests to Diane that she willingly step back, but after some soul-searching and dreams about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Diane decides to fight for her name above the door. She tells her top clients she is being asked to step back, who in turn raise their discomfort with STR Laurie; David Lee instructs Liz that Diane (the firm's top biller and biggest client draw) must remain as name partner. Liz feels stung by Diane's manoeuvre. Meanwhile, Wackner is dragged to court to defend the legitimacy of his wacky arbitration service, about which a new streaming show is in development. Although minded dismissing the claim against Wackner, the judge entertains a longer trial when Wackner's famous funder, conservative David Cord, is revealed. The case is suddenly dropped when the claimant is spontaneously beaten up outside his home.
