Having dinner at a restaurant with an old friend, Roger Kastle, Patty is offered a job in the supreme court, but she says she'll have to wait until McClaren case is over. He invites her to a weekend away with him at his holiday house, and she's laughs hysterically in response.
On their way to work, Ellen's mother Denise finally reveals why she has moved in with her: her husband Gary is starting to scare her. Parson family drama is so boring, and having Ellen and Denise both be so stubborn as to not address the problem for an entire episode seems pointless and unnecessary.
It was only a matter of time until we witnessed a hacking scene from McClaren, and we got one as he attempted to hack into Samurai Seven's computer to obtain the information he has on Princefield. Let the hack war begin! Despite McClaren music pumping in the background, the scene wasn't all that exciting, and just as McClaren thought he had the information, Samurai fought him off.
At Hewes and Associates Bill questions Jake Stahl, an attorney interested in cyber law. Bill is unimpressed by his qualifications, but Jake reveals that Patty has already hired him. She needs him to get access to Princefield's servers to find out whether or not they have been tampered with to figure not whether or not it was actually Noami Walling responsible for the leak.
Patty goes to the SEC to gain access to the servers and she is turned away, so she goes on the attack and decides to take the case public. On 'The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell' on MSNBC, Patty tells the world that McClaren sexually assaulted Naomi Walling.
Ellen organises a hearing with Judge Gearheart to discuss Patty's accusations, and he issues a gag order on the case from both of them. Ellen is irritated that now she can no longer respond to Patty's allegations about McClaren, and tells Gearheart that the gag order was exactly what Patty wanted, but he ignores her.
Rutger and Gitta attempt to go behind McClaren's back to pay for the information on Princefield from Samurai Seven, but he wants $500,000 and McClaren's only financier refuses to pay. Rutger then turns to Ellen, and after a warning from her accountant, Ellen agrees to give them the money.
At a cafe, Michael (where the hell has he been?) is being interviewed and is short of horrible things to say about his mother, including that the McClaren case is all about her crushing Ellen.
After many hilarious misinterpretations of Katherine and the man with the sword who lives in the garbage can, Patty finds Samurai's message on her computer. With Jake's help, she too, agrees to pay Samurai $500,000 for the Princefield information.
Patty gets a call from Roger, who tells her to turn to page 38 of the latest issue of American Lawyer. There Patty sees Michael's interview about her. She tells Roger she is not concerned, and he tells her that she made a career going after bullies, but that if she's only on the McClaren case to best Ellen that she better be careful or it could blow up in her face.
At Ellen's office, Ellen shares a drink with Michael telling him that his interview will get people to question Patty's standing in the legal community. Michael tells her he needs to know that his custody case in going to move forward. Ellen says she will give him her testimony, but that he just has to be patient, to which he replies he's not going to wait forever.
Patty and Jake meet with Samurai and once they've transferred him the $500,000 he gives them a USB containing the Princefield information. They leave, and Samurai remains there waiting for Ellen's arrival. Ellen and Gitta arrive and again they transfer him $500,000, but before he can get out of his car to give them the USB, he is attacked, and someone drives off in his car. The man later ditches the car and set's it alight, after retrieving the USB.
