Summary[]
Alicia and Cary represent a university lecturer accused of being a domestic terrorist by overzealous users of a social networking website. LG, being in need of more litigators, try to hire more associates, but Will, disregarding the wishes of the rest of the firm's partners, hires an alleged maverick mob lawyer as a partner, who causes trouble for Florrick/Agos when he steals their office furniture. Will's impulsive decision to hire him arouses the concern of Diane, who instructs Kalinda to investigate him.
