LATER
David Lee: "Kalinda, what if you were pregnant with Terri Schiavo, how would you research that? Actually, never mind. You're a traitor, I forgot."
Kalinda: "Oh my God I'm really not. My loyalty is to Will and his money. What do you need?"
David Lee: "Ironically, I'll be taking my business to Robyn Burdine. An unknown quantity who could be a double agent and is for sure going to Florrick Agos. Sometimes my pettiness actually does interfere with my instincts."
TARA
Is due in 12 weeks, which is relevant because termination laws are based on viability of the fetus, and so if the baby is (technically) viable we're past the window, and thus there is no case. You can't sue for breach of contract if there is no breach of contract, and as of now there hasn't been, and if she's not allowed to do it then there never will be.
David Lee: "Uh, redirect. Why was the amnio performed so late in the second trimester?"
Doctor: "The first one was in April."
David Lee: "And there was spotting, right? Like might happen if you fucked up?"
Judge: "If the Plaintiffs aren't going to object, I'll do it for them. What's the relevance?"
Everybody: "Wait, what? Where's this going? We don't get it."
Lawyer: "You will."
ELEVATOR
Alicia: "So we're suing the hospital?"
David Lee: "Obviously I had a weird plan. This is to blame them, so everybody else can settle down."
Alicia: "And you want the child born?"
David Lee: "God no. But your client does, which..."
Alicia: "It means more to the suit, if the child's born."
David Lee: "Yeah, like five times more. $10M if she doesn't abort."
Alicia: "Would this not fall under shit we should tell her?"
David Lee: "She's following her reasoning in defiance of the facts already, how would it even help?"
QUORUM
Lyman, of course, has some weird vaudeville story about a time he got a girl pregnant and sent her to Canada about it. Some other dude who is a Republican that says he isn't one (a RNINO!) does a whole song and dance about giving equal time to anti-choice viewpoints because we're on CBS. David Lee is surprisingly progressive, Alicia keeps her mouth shut, and the other lady partner says a cliché that also happens to be the point: "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."
