The Gang Gets a Call From HR
The restaurant Diane was defending has been torn down despite a judge saying it can't be torn down yet. Lucca's wealthy divorce client keeps calling her to chat. Diane learns about memo 618. There is a meeting about how to handle racism, not just at the firm, but in general.
Tropes
- Call-Back: Adrian tells a story about a Southern governor that a Real-Person Cameo told him in the previous season.
- Comically Missing the Point: A friend of Eli Gold's who chewed Marissa out for working with Julius comes to Reddick-Boseman and Marissa thinks he's there to yell at her again, so she tells him it's her right as an American to fall in love with a Republican and have his Republican children if she wants to. He replies that he's there to talk to Adrian.
- Dark Humor: Discussed. Liz cracks a joke about how everyone's going to die one day, and the guy upstairs walks in and thinks it's an Orphaned Punchline. Liz explains that you had to be there.
- N-Word Privileges: STR Laurie takes issue with Adrian telling a story quoting a racist who was using the N-word. Adrian takes issue with white people telling him he can't use the N-word, or any other words for that matter. Jay argues that "it's our word".
- Reverse Psychology: Liz thinks Caleb is doing this by admitting he's supposed to be spying on them.
- Pun: Marissa explains to Julius that they started to call STR Laurie "STD Laurie".
- Would Rather Suffer: David Lee says he'd rather cut his wrists than go to HR.
