Alicia: Interesting. Who gets that? Diane: Good firm. I'm the in-house. Alicia: Arrested for killing her ex-husband. You're at Stern, Lockhart & Gardner? Alicia: Diane asks me to step in for her. Alicia: For the retrial. Alicia: You're gonna take one day at a time. Grace has left all her friends. Grace argues over clothes with your mother, and Zach is using you to make friends at school which I don't know is that's a healthy thing or something worse. [In a firm]
(Kalinda and Alicia ask some questions to a guy working in the firm near the place where the murder happened)
Kalinda: We just need to see how the surveillance system works, and we'll be out of your hair in 5 minutes. Oh, beautiful children. He's very brave but he's hurting. Is it your intention to pursue a new defense? (Alicia leaves - Conversation between Will and Diane in her office)
Diane: She's a junior associate who doesn't think she's a junior associate! Her husband was a state's attorney. Cary's being transitioned in and he'll go back to the first trial strategy. [Alicia's living room]
TV: It's not a good year for him. You know her simply as "Amber", the young woman who brought down bad boy Chicago State's attorney Peter Florrick.

Summary: Is a drama starring Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Pushing aside the betrayal and crushing public humiliation caused by her husband Peter, Alicia Florrick starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney. As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, she joins her longtime friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner, who is interested to see how Alicia will perform after 13 years out of the courtroom. Alicia is grateful the firm's top litigator, Diane Lockhart, offers to mentor her but discovers the offer has conditions and realizes she has to succeed on her own merit. Alicia's main competition among the firm's 20-something new recruits is Cary, a recent Harvard grad who is affable on the surface, but competitive to the core. Fortunately, Alicia finds an ally in Kalinda, the firm's tough in-house investigator. Gaining confidence every day, Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician's scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach and 13-year-old Grace. For the first time in years, Alicia trades in her identity as the "good wife" and takes charge of her own destiny.
