Ep 8. Citizens United

Billy McBride is struggling to keep his head above water. His debt is piling up, his health is declining, and his team is falling apart. But he's not one to let a little thing like adversity slow him down. In "Citizens United," the eighth episode of Goliath's first season, Billy takes on a new case that could make or break him.

The case involves a group of citizens who are fighting against a powerful developer who wants to build an aquatic park in their neighborhood. The citizens are concerned about the environmental impact of the park, as well as the increased traffic and noise that it would bring to their community. Billy agrees to represent them in court, and once again finds himself up against his old law firm, Cooperman & McBride.

Meanwhile, Patty is dealing with her own problems. She's still reeling from her daughter's death, and is struggling to come to terms with her own role in the tragedy. She's also dealing with her ex-husband, who is trying to take custody of their remaining child. But Patty is a fighter too, and she refuses to back down.

As the case unfolds, Billy and Patty find themselves facing off against not only Cooperman & McBride, but also a corrupt judge who seems to be in the developer's pocket. To make matters worse, there's a mole in the citizens' group who is leaking information to the other side. Billy and his team have to work quickly to find the mole and stop them before it's too late.
