Alicia: "Nope. No it is not. Or is it? I can see that going either way. Good thing Edelman is twice the untrustworthy creep we thought Carey was, and every bit as gross as David Lee. OTOH, something else to think about besides the hell moment that just happened, so... that's good?"
F/A
Bonus Dick: "Yeah, I sent it! Come at me, bro! I wanted to win the case!"
Everybody: "But you didn't. They lost their baby. You grossed out the Chippewa."
Bonus Dick: "And we bounced! So suck it!"
Carey: "And now Alicia is screwed. And you're like, the only person of color any of us knows, which is only going to get weirder down the line..."
Cary: "Did anybody sign off? Did David Lee okay this?"
Bonus Dick: "No. Wait, Howard Lyman approved it."
Alicia: "Then let's get you in there with Carter Schmidt. He's awesome now, btw."
MANY MORE DUMB THINGS
#1 & 2. As Zach is forcing his sister to undress in front of her webcam (no big deal, just long enough so he can trace the IP address or whatever the fuck) Geneva and Will discuss her sudden change of heart and how she wants to make a deal. Will and Diane slap hands on his way out the office to make the deal, and Will heads to see Geneva.
#3. Owen meets him at the elevator, and, again, Will unconsciously echoes Alicia's dialogue when he's like, "I cannot do this with you right now, literally." So they get on the elevator together, because where else are you gonna discuss this?
The conversation itself is pretty cringe-worthy, like fan fiction or something writing for somebody in the audience they have heard of but never met called a "shipper," but the basics are that Owen is there for Team Willicia, and won't be turned away. Which is interesting to me mostly because he and Veronica have now both come at Will with the exact same agenda but opposite reasons. Owen because he wants Alicia with Will, and Veronica because she hates the shit out of Peter.
Or, more precisely, Owen because he wants Alicia to be happy with Will, and Veronica because she's terrified Alicia will be happy with Peter.
Anyway, he trumpets his/our theory that this was all about getting away from Will: "You think she was dying to start her own firm? They're reusing paper clips!" But Will, to his credit, listens the full length of the elevator ride and then firmly, politely, informs Owen that it's just over. He can lay down his weapons and his weirdly weepy eyes and whatever else at his disposal, and give up. It might be ridiculous, a "ridiculous war," but as long as she stays off his turf it's almost as good as the real thing, because the "real thing" never was. At least the war is honest.
