Day 450
Marissa researches an alt-right website, shocking Maia and Lucca. The Democratic party wants Reddick-Boseman to prosecute Trump in their impeachment case. Mrs. Lovateli visits Lucca at work to gift her unborn grandchild singing toys and drop hints about a local election.
Marissa's boyfriend Drew is violently protective of her, though Amy suspects he's just violent. Colin and his mother create a fake twitter account to bait Lucca into responding to racist tweets about her being pregnant with an AUA, but she sees through it.
Liz, Adrian, and Diane decide to play up stereotypes trying to get the DNC to hire them. They only hire Liz. Maia has sex with a woman who isn't Amy.
Tropes
- Amicable Exes: Lucca and Colin.
- Beat Them at Their Own Game: Liz thinks they should use Trump's tactics against him in the impeachment. Diane comes around to her side.
- Call-Back: Marissa is dating the guy she met during the ricin scare.
- Continuity Nod: Maia's family comes up twice, first when a girl can't place Maia, then when Colin's mother tells Maia she doesn't mind that Henry stole money from her husband.
- Double Date: Maia and Amy go to a bar with Marissa and Drew.
- Pregnancy Makes You Crazy: Subverted. The senior partners claim Lucca is upset when she is perfectly calm.
- Refuge in Audacity: When Steven and Francesca start digging in how Lucca wound up pregnant with Colin's baby, Lucca tells them they fucked in the family restroom during a break during the Rindell case. This is met with stunned silence.
- Sarcasm-Blind: Steven Hall, who works for Colin, claims he has trouble recognizing sarcasm.
- Shout-Out: The DNC wants a team of lawyers from different firms, which Diane compares to The Avengers. When they want Liz, Adrian asks if that makes her Wonder Woman, which they quickly point out would mean she's Justice League instead.
- Viewers Are Geniuses: Mrs. Lovateli, through her fake account, compares Lucca to Sally Hemings in a tweet. Sally Hemings was a slave of President Thomas Jefferson who is believed to have borne him six children.
