Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 63 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT What Was in the Box

And then alongside that, you have Diane who is not involved in this bloodbath of theirs, who honestly does hope everybody will win, and you have Cary, who just wants to beat them because he is Cary and a win/lose split would validate him immensely.
And you have the B-story, which Jim Moody will explain in a moment, but which -- juxtaposed like this -- tells us a thing about Peter and Alicia, together and separately, that we always knew but until now could never say out loud: You could fill a book with what they know about what they don't know. Matthew Ashbaugh, Will Gardner, Jim Moody, Lemond Bishop. Off the top of my head, that's four.
MOODY
Jim: "Did you not say to me, We're taking the gloves off?"
Eli: "Yeah, but fraud?"
Jim: "Eli, I could fill a book with what you know about what you don't know. Just tell me which way to fall."
Eli: "Are you wired right now? Fuck you, if you are."
Jim: "That's actually really offensive? What are you talking about? I'm getting three years for election fraud unless I sell you out..."
Eli: "Which will burn you forever. The political process you love -- demonstrably, love too much -- will be closed to you forever. No more friends. Like, right now you have the friendship of the Governor of our entire state..."
Jim: "Yeah, that's working out real well for me."
Eli: "Who do you love, Jim Moody?"
Jim: "Fine. It stops with me. I was the guy. I took your instructions too far."
Which is all well and good. It's actually a fine thing, considering he fucked up and should not have done it regardless of what Eli said or thought he said or Jim thought he said. This is actually the bad part, to like a depressing degree: When Eli stands up and leaves, barking as he goes: "...And I wasn't here."
HON GARBER
Christine: "Okay, this is the weird part. I saw Ms. Riggs go in the bathroom with a lady."
LG: "What is this?"
Cary: "We think a nine played a four, that's what this is. How long were they in there?"
Christine: "Like fifteen minutes! She came out adjusting her skirt."
Matan: "Uh, can we get the man jury in here real quick for this?"
Diane: "No way. This is more prejudicial than helpful, that's why ours got sequestered in the first place..."
Matan: "No, it was because Team Lady asked for it. If the prosecution elicits this testimony it's okay."
