"Alicia Florrick is not going to be okay."
GARDNER
Dubeck: "Thanks for talking to me in your pitch-black office, Mr. Gardner..."
Will: "I had a feeling you wouldn't leave me alone. What's going on?"
Dubeck: "Just some tiny questions."
Will: "If any of your questions touch upon Governor Florrick, in the time I represented him, then I am bound by attorney-client privilege."
Dubeck: "Not if we're talking about an ongoing conspiracy."
Will: "Well, we're not. What?"
Dubeck: "The election fraud in this video, and your ensuing cover-up, constitutes an ongoing crime. I can offer a grant of transactional immunity, but you have to cooperate."
Will: "Same thing you told everybody else this week? Bite me. If any of your questions touch upon Governor Florrick in the time I represented him..."
Dubeck: "You would do this? For the man whose wife stole your..."
Will: "If any of your questions touch upon Governor Florrick in the..."
Dubeck: "Fine. Here's your subpoena, bro. I hear they're serving ham sandwiches."

NEXT WEEK
Does Will hate Alicia and/or Peter that much, or is he going to save the day? Or just lose his damn mind? Maybe both! Meanwhile, Alicia thinks back to before this show even started, trying to get her shit together for a keynote speech at the American Bar Association, which probably means flashback boning, which is going to be excellent, but also means pre-LG Alicia, which I can't remember ever really seeing in this context.
Then the 23 March episode, a multiple of five, purports to be the most shocking ever! But I don't know what that means. Dubeck tries to depose Alicia and she hires Cary as her lawyer, while Will goes up against Ozymandias himself.
