The Gang is Satirized and Doesn't Like It
Someone has written a play, and one of Lucca's clients thinks it is about him and his divorce. Jay has found out that Brian Kneefe upstairs has planted malware on the firm's internet that shuts down your computer if you try to find out what Memo 618 is.
Tropes
- Call-Back:
- The playwright turns out to be Alan North, the guy they fired for drug possession, setting the precedent for firing Maia for the same reason.
- Kovac from season two shows up. Diane decides to represent him in court.
- Exact Words: The playwright says the characters are based on real people, not that they're inspired by them. This is Liz's way in.
- Lame Pun Reaction: A guy tells Marissa a joke about a zoo that only had a dog; it was a shih tzu. She finds it to be a bad joke.
- Photographic Memory: Liz's second chair claims to have this.
- Refuge in Audacity: The lawyer they ask about Memo 618 tells Diane the memo is regarding her ass.
- Show Within a Show: "C*cksucker in Chains" is a play that borrows liberally from the writer's experiences at Reddick-Boseman.
