Recap / The Good Wife S 1 E 07 Unorthodox

Go To

Zach is determined to clear his father of charges by proving that the pictures of him with sex workers are doctored. Alicia is assigned a case involving the daughter and son-in-law of Jonas Stern, both orthodox Jews who can't work on the Sabbath. Ryan Alprin, the free-thinking lawyer the Loebs already hired, doesn't particularly want Alicia as a second chair.

Tropes

  • Hypocrite:
    • Opposing counsel points out that Mrs. Loeb has in fact operated a phone on several Sabbaths, calling her father to repair their relationship.
    • Mr. Loeb thinks Alicia is this for asking him to forgive his wife for using her cell phone when she hasn't forgiven her husband for cheating on her.
  • Loophole Abuse: The lawyer hired by Stern's son-in-law plans to do this with the freedom of religion paragraph in the First Amendment.
  • Shout-Out: Kalinda points out that Stern's daughter was hanging out with Tara Reid a year ago, and predicts that she will be again next year.
