The PLCAA protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products (while preserving several other kids of suits, as we'll learn throughout the episode): Basically, it makes sure we treat guns the same way we do cars, refrigerators, and buzzsaws, since just like those things, they are not made exclusively to kill people. When Bush signed it into law, the NRA thanked him for "the most significant piece of pro-gun legislation in twenty years into law."
Diane: "I don't know where my client is, but Nancy Crozier is an asshole."
Nancy: "Valid. Either way, the point is that the gun went off during a crime."
Diane: "Yeah, but it was the victim's gun! You're splitting hairs!"
Nancy: "Actually this gross law was made to protect an entire industry from being held responsible for itself either way, so actually you're the one playing semantics games. Even if you did, though, he wasn't holding it after he dropped it, so he wasn't in possession of it when it went off."
Judge: "This is gross anyways, but I also need to talk to you guys in chambers real quick."
Nancy does that quick-twist anger thing she does, where the mask slips, but gets herself under control and they head back... To where Alicia and Cary are sitting with Heather! Who is the widow of the guy! Alicia accidentally stole Diane's most important and final case!
Diane: "What the shit is this?"
Alicia: "The next day. To be honest, I may not have an entirely accurate idea of how hardcore a power move this is."
Judge: "So Heather, you're looking to change law firms?"
Diane: "This is bullshit. Your Honor, we recently fired ten lawyers for poaching..."
Cary: "Not poaching."
Diane: "Yes poaching. Negotiating behind our backs with our top clients."
Davies (the liberal sweetie judge played by Richard Kind) does his Judge Quirk for a while, a thing he makes baby thugs do, in which he makes everybody clench a fist and then SQUASH it with the other fist. In order of cuteness, the cuteness of them doing this goes Cary, Heather, Nancy, Alicia, Diane. But far and away, Cary. Cary squashing it.
Diane: I am personally offended! I've been developing this case for two years."
Alicia: "Your name was on it, but no, it was me and Cary. You don't know Heather like that."
