Day 478
Diane audits an aikido class. Felix has an airtight alibi, and Jay and Marissa have turned their attention to Neo-Nazi Dennis Honeycutt. A woman named Emily takes issue with a man putting pressure on her to have sex with him. He sues her for publishing her version of the story online.
Adrian is still in the hospital. The police believe the gunman was black, despite Adrian remembering him being white. Diane rehires Jay without asking him if he wants to come back first. The two case experts at Reddick-Boseman want the firm to go after assholestoavoid[dot]com, the website that posts women's sexual harassment stories while doxxing the men they're accusing.
Dennis also has an alibi, and Adrian starts to doubt his memory of the shooting. Jay has another suspect for who the gunman was: the guy they helped evict last year. Diane takes an aikido class and goes to talk to Kurt.
Officer Whitehead gets arrested for shooting Adrian.
Tropes
- Call-Back:
- Honeycutt is a defendant from a previous episode.
- Paul Johnson is the guy who made false rape accusations against pastor Jeremiah.
- The shooter turns out to be Whitehead.
- Captain Obvious: A guy who works for Colin notes to Lucca that she is pregnant.
- Central Theme: Consent.
- Ironic Echo: The woman who runs the red flags website comes to her deposition and when Liz says she is spurring people to action by telling them to avoid certain men, she sarcastically replies "Oh my god, you caught me". Then she turns to Diane and accuses her of being a second-wave feminist, and Diane replies with a bemused expression: "Oh my god, you caught me".
- Irony: Staunch Democrat Diane gets her money back in large part due to Trump's tax cuts for the rich.
- Shout-Out: An ex of Emily's says they talked about I, Tonya when they first met.
