Meanwhile, Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) is flustered by a possible scandal that could taint her reputation, and she must take action to mitigate the damage.

The episode introduces a new character, Clarke Hayden (Nathan Lane), a financial expert hired by the firm to help navigate a tricky situation. However, his methods and his motives come into question, and we're left wondering if he's really there to help or if he has an ulterior motive.
