We lace up for a hockey-flavored hour as Alicia and Julius take a “simple” snowmobile wrongful-death suit that explodes into a bigger fight over head injuries and league liability. Enter Louis Canning, cool as ever, and an old political foe with a class-action angle that turns strategy on its head. Meanwhile, Will’s supposed “consulting” (no tie, all whispers) risks a leak, Cary’s been quietly demoted, and Tammy pops back from London to press Alicia about Will—nudging Alicia and Kalinda toward a fragile thaw. Diane runs the firm like a boss while juggling Jack the dashing process server and a very welcome Kurt reunion. As Alicia eyes a pricey new house, Canning dangles an offer and Diane plays hardball to keep her.
