The Good Fight

Try a water bath canner.

I'm sorry?

For low acid foods. It's better than a regular pot.

Trust me.

No, that's crazy.

Just reduce the sugar content.

Maia, we have a fertility case.

Uh, family law. Important client.

Okay, good.

You okay?

Yeah. Just weird conversation in the elevator.

Um, what do you need? Uh, all precedences

on fertility clinic reversion clauses.

Good. I'm on it.

And tell me if you're getting some bad-mouthing.

If I'm getting...? Well, people say things.

You know, sometimes people don't know better.

What, is someone saying something?

No. I mean, no more than what you said.

What did I say?

Lucca.

It's not your Twitter feed, is it?

What?

It's not your Twitter feed.

I feel like I'm missing something here.

"It's hard to get excited about work

when people call you lesbo behind your back."

Oh, my God. What?

Yeah, it's your name. See? Maia Rindell.

And you talk about your parents and your dad going to jail...

But I...

That's not me.

Well, then I'd talk to someone,

because, I mean, look.

"I love canning peaches best.

Anyone know why they stick to the side?"

What on earth? Yeah, you're really into canning fruit.

I don't know why.

Who's doing this?

Oh, my God.

Yeah, you get pretty explicit.

"When I go down on my girlf..."

Oh, my God.

Yeah. You have a lot of fans, too.

Who's doing this?

I don't know. Do you have any enemies?

It's the scandal.

It's my parents' scandal.

What do I do?

Tweet back to her. What?

Yeah, see if she says anything.

Maybe you can find out who she is.

Here, use my account.

"I'm gay and like canning, too.

We should meet up."

I want my eggs back.

Okay.

And who has them?

The Lake Drive Fertility Clinic.

Laura, this is our newest partner,

Diane Lockhart.

Diane, this is Laura Salano,

one of our oldest clients.

"Oldest"? My God, there's got to be

a better word than that. First clients, sorry.

First and best.

Oh, better.

So when I first moved here,

I needed money, remember? Mm-hmm.

And some Highland Park couple gave me

$20,000 for my eggs.

We drew up that contract, right? Yes.

And I remember you said there was some boilerplate

in there about a reversion clause.

If they didn't use the eggs in a few years, um...

"If the intended parents'

"desire to gestate the resulting embryos

"to term is not completed within five years, then all ova,

henceforth known as 'property' will revert back to donor."

Good, exactly.

So it's been eight years; they're mine, right?

Yes, according to the contract.

We just need to notify them.

Oh, I'll get on it today.

Are you planning to implant?

I want a child.

After last March, after this-this scare,

I... didn't think I'd get to this moment.

And you're well now? Yes.

Um, ovarian cancer.

But I have a clean bill of health,

and I just can't get pregnant.

So these eggs, they're my only chance.

It's just weird how your priorities change.

I'm sorry, I sound like a tampon commercial right now.

Well, let me see what I can do.

Thanks, Diane.

So you're expanding?

Girl...

Explain.

Who was that?

That man?

I don't know. Want me to find out?

Yes.

Uh, no, wait.

Don't go into Mr. Boseman's office.

You all right?

Yeah, sorry.

All right.

Mike Kresteva.

You sure? I can go back.

No, no.

What is he doing here?

I don't know. I can ask.

No, uh, Marissa, wait.

No... Okay.

Tell Adrian I need to talk to him.

Can't seem to get him...

Diane needs a word with you.

Now?

Excuse me.

What's wrong?

Mike Kresteva.

What's he doing here?

I don't know. We hadn't gotten that far yet.

You know him?

One of the partners at my firm, Alicia Florrick, knew him.

He made her life hell.

Okay.

Is there some specific reason you needed to

interrupt the meeting? Be careful, Adrian.

Seriously. He's not straight-forward.

Okay.

Thank you, thank you, Diane.

But... I can handle myself.

Want me to do something?

Oh, yes, uh, get Lake Drive Fertility Clinic on the line.

So what can I do for you, Mr. Kresteva?

Well, I was just made Special Counsel in charge

of the Department of Justice Police Accountability

in the 21st Century Task Force.

That's a mouthful.

Yeah, it is.

And I even left out the word "Chicago."

D.O.J.P. A.T.C.T.F.

have been asked for recommendations

on how to curb police brutality in Chicago.

Well, you could start by putting brutal cops in jail.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Nothing yet?

Not yet.

Should we write again?

No, we'll sound desperate.

We already suggested we meet.

Whoa.

What?

She tweeted back.

What?!

Oh.

What are you gonna say?

I'll send a photo. What, of you?

No, I have a photo stream.

No one sends photos of themselves. Mm.

Here's one.

Ask her to send a photo back.

Uh, what's the investigator's name?

Jay DiPersia. Want me to get him?

Yes, and Lucca, too.

What... Marissa?

You got something.

That was fast. Mm.

Wow, you sent an attachment too.

You're a saucy wench.

What?

That's me.

Really? Do you know who took them?

Diane Lockhart.

Mike Kresteva.

Well, this feels like old times.

And what line are you selling today, Mike?

Why is everybody so suspicious of me?

I just walked into your office, I haven't even said anything.

So say something.

Okay.

I'm on your side.

And what side is that?

The side hoping to curb

police brutality.

I've just been made special counsel.

Good. Congratulations.

That was genuine.

Any advice?

No.

Diane, I think you'll learn that I've changed.

I'm a new person.

How is your son doing, Mike?

Well, he, uh... passed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

About a year ago.
