The episode kicks off with Alicia trying to manage her busy schedule, which includes meetings, court appearances, and taking care of her two children. She hires a nanny to help out, but quickly realizes that the nanny is not a good fit for her family.
Meanwhile, the firm is approached by a woman named Melanie, who is suing a software company for making an app that caused her son to sleepwalk and kill someone. Melanie claims that the app, named "Easy Wake," has a dangerous bug that causes it to go off randomly, disrupting people's sleep patterns and causing them to sleepwalk.
Alicia takes on the case, and her team starts to investigate the software company. They discover that the company was aware of the bug, but chose to ignore it to save money. The case becomes more complicated when the software company hires Wendy Scott Carr, the rival candidate to Peter's campaign, to represent them.
As the case unfolds, Alicia starts to feel the pressure of being a working mother. She struggles to find time for her children and feels guilty about not being there for them. She confides in Kalinda, who helps her realize that she is a good mother and that it's okay to ask for help.
The case takes a surprising turn when the software company settles out of court. Melanie is disappointed with the outcome and decides to take matters into her own hands. She hacks into the company's database and finds evidence proving that the company knew about the bug all along. Melanie sends the evidence to Alicia, who uses it to reopen the case and secure a win for their client.
In the end, Alicia learns that being a working mother is not easy, but it's important to prioritize what matters most. She chooses to spend more time with her children and hires a new nanny who is a better fit for her family.
