STR Laurie has been laundering Russian money through Israel. Jay learns that a paralegal might be a white supremacist, but finds out that she is FBI instead. Diane reels from seeing a man die outside her window and kisses her doctor after he introduces her to Buddhism.
Tropes:
- Batman Gambit: Liz and Ri'Chard use their discovery of an undercover FBI agent as a way to divert the latter's attention from their investigation of their firm while letting them go after ST Laurie.
- Comically Missing the Point: Ted Willoughby clearly doesn't get that a judge saying "no one should take him seriously" was meant as an insult.
- Heel Realization: Liz and Ri'Chard have never liked ST Laurie but the realization they're laundering money for Russia pushes them over the Moral Event Horizon in-universe. Also, that they have to work to break any remaining ties they have to the firm.
- Irony: Liz and Ri'Chard discuss the irony of a guy who was hanging a banner encouraging rioters to stop, slipped and fell to his death, and how there's a rumor he actually jumped in an attempt to kill two proudboys on the sidewalk.
- Mistaken for Racist: Susanne Treholm, a paralegal who was photographed leaving a white supremacy meeting a year ago, but turns out to be an undercover FBI agent.
- Saying Too Much:
- Ri'Chard can't believe that ST Larie's own board member happily confesses in court that they're rerouting money through Israel and thus, in effect, confesses to money laundering.
- Ted Willoughby throws his network's lawyers in a tizzy when he testifies he just gets a memo from his bosses every day on what to say "to keep the audience enraged...I mean engaged."
- Shout-Out: Liz calls the whole thing "Kafka-esque".
