OUTSIDE
Everybody's scrambling into cars -- half of this episode is just people bolting for the door -- and Grace gets very, very weird about making sure Alicia doesn't ride over there with Will. It's sad and teenagery and sweet and very Grace. It is also, of course, the right call.
Alicia sends the kids to the hotel for the campaign stuff, and on the drive over, gets a call from Colin Sweeney, which is already infinity awkward because he's nuts and grody, but also since she's in the car with Will.
Alicia: "Colin Sweeney, it is 1 AM! You gotta nerve."
Colin: "Come on, sweetcheeks. It's Election Night, I expected you to answer drunk."
Alicia: "I'm not even thinking of that right now, I've got lawyering to do."
Colin: "Well, a couple things. First of all, I voted for your husband because I adore you. And second of all, you need to leave Lockhart/Gardner with Cary."
Alicia: "I gotta go, man."
Colin: "Because I am thinking of taking my $22M a year business over there. But let me tell you why..."
Alicia: "Nope. Click."
Colin: "It's because I am determined to stay your clie... Aw, she hung up. I hope she heard that last part, or else she is gonna take a chunk out of Cary's ass in a minute."
Will: "Did you just hang up on your biggest client, and one of ours?"
Alicia: "You know that fuckwad. He wasn't gonna stop with the heavy breathing."
FEDERAL JUDGE ANA GASTAYER PRESIDING
(IN MY OPINION)
The third-party candidate is an Albert O'Dell, and the person representing his interest in this injunction is none other than Jordan Karahalios, the most wonderful man in the universe. His point is that the early voting ballot misspells "O'Dell" as "Odell," which is a blatant stretch, but as Jordan points out, we're talking about Chicago, where Irish people come from.
Patti and the L/G team close ranks in a very loveable, automatic, unresentful way, but Patti doesn't quite understand Alicia's whispered prompting to add "in my opinion" to everything she says, because that's Gastayer's shtick. Which I would say is one of the more ludicrous ones, except I've been to the internet before and people are actually that stupid that they need this clarified for them. (For the record, Jordan immediately gets it.)
Jordan: "Turning the Irish O'Dell into the English Odell is basically racist anyway, and Illinois is 15 percent Irish, and they hate the English for reasons I don't need to explain tonight, but in my opinion this dumb typo actually does represent a factor in the voting process."
