Summary[]
When ChumHum, a major technology company and Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart client, is sued by Felix Staples over having censored his videos from their search results, Staples' lawyer reveals that ChumHum was testing a new censorship algorithm they were creating for China. The firm fails to successfully defend ChumHum and then tells them the truth about the firm's founder being a sexual predator out of fear that Blum might reveal the scandal. ChumHum informs the firm that they may sever ties over the impending scandal. Kurt stumbles upon a note from a disillusioned NSA agent spying on Diane, warning her off the planned hack of voting machines. Diane finds out about the note, but a text from Valerie convinces the "Book Club" to continue with the plan. After Kurt discovers the identity of the NSA agent, he solves the issue by contacting the elections board and having them retire the machines, supposedly on orders from Donald Trump Jr., which prevents the hack; however, when the NSA agent attempts to destroy all audio recordings of Diane talking about the plot, a newly hired agent catches him deleting the files. Meanwhile, Lucca struggles with her feelings for Gary Carr as he continues to shadow her at work.
