So she's single, if you're wondering -- her "Cirque du Soleil boyfriend," per Eli -- and then talk turns to her plans for the week. Specifically, her plan to see Peter speak at a minority voters conference, specifically about vote suppression.
Or, as the show cutely describes it, the unfortunate "marginalization" that comes about through "redistricting." Like gerrymandering is this thing like global warning, where it just happens and nobody even knows why, or could even hazard a guess, or you know what frankly we probably shouldn't even be talking about this, in case it scares the money.
Eli: "Oh right. Yeah, we canceled that. Turns out if you talk about the people who control voting, they control it so you don't get votes! Weird how the system just coincidentally was designed to work that way. Oh well, I guess it's a really nuanced issue with two very balanced sides. I guess that's the mangled moral of this story."
Natalie: "Good thing I wasn't listening because that was some fucking BS. I gotta go, my guy just got deported."
COUNTY
AUSA Dolan: "You sure are taking this hard."
Alicia: "Bitch you just mailed him to Abu Dhabi moments after writing an official document about literally nothing other doing that, with a guaranteed murder on the other end. Yeah, I'm taking it hard."
AUSA Dolan: "But I mean, like, them's the breaks. You know?"
Alicia: "Explain!"
AUSA Dolan: "You read the language, I saw you do it. He didn't provide testimony that led to a conviction."
Alicia: "He earned it either way! Why are you doing this?"
AUSA: "Seems like just to be a dick? I don't even know. Maybe I'm having problems in my marriage or something. Maybe I am a racist and my job is very ironic."
11 HRS TO GO
F/A: "Oh, see it's the wrong Tomas Ruiz. This one, middle-initial I, is a con man! Insurance fraud and the stealing of airbags! A crime that exists and is so shitty! He deserves to be deported to Laloland."
Alicia: "Sure wish one or both of them had a SSN but..."
Robyn: "So find the other Tomas Ruiz. Duh."
Car/ey: "And how exactly..."
Robyn: "I'll deal with it. Laters."
Then she just grinds her super cool cigarette into the floor and vanishes. Robyn Burdine is goin' ghost and flossin' ICE. Bring me the head of Tomas Ruiz, Robyn Burdine. But, you know, the other one.
