"Oh my god, that was truly one of my favorite scenes of the entire season, only because Jerry Adler is just one of my favorite people on the planet, and he was so funny," Margulies said. "I was biting the inside of my cheeks because I didn't want to throw him off, and it was so funny."

Alicia and Lockhart/Gardner are involved with a $6 million lawsuit and things get "pretty ugly." "What I love about the show is you never know who's on the right side, and I love that ambiguity," Margulies said. "I love that we don't patronize the audience by giving them complete answers, that they get to say, 'Well, wait a minute, what would I do? Was that right or wrong? Was that lowballing?'"

Everything gets more complicated thanks to a common real-life occurrence: Florrick/Agos gets a window into Lockhart/Gardner when the people on the LG side turn off their teleconferencing monitor, not the whole system. It's something that happens to many—including Robert and Michele King. "[It's a] great ethical question that lawyers deal with called unintended disclosure, which is the idea, ‘Are you ethically bound to tell the other side that they have left the window open? Or left a file in a bar?' So that's kind of the springboard for an episode that really focuses on our main cast," Robert said.
