Lucca becomes a meme, and Not-Taylor Swift asks Diane and Liz for advice.
A storm is raging in Chicagoagain.
It’s a weird occurrence for them.

We begin with Maia, who meets with the partners about her drug arrest.
Spoiler alert: Maia is fired by the end of the episode.
It doesn’t come about because they found new damning evidence.
And it’s all a result of the internet.
See, a white woman calls the police on Lucca while she’s out with her baby.
You know, as some people are ridiculously want to do.
And this isn’t unique toThe Good Fighteither.
Robert and Michelle King held liberals/Democrats accountable onThe Good Wife, too.
That entire show was about how power can corrupt even those on the left.
Here, the show is pointing how even some liberals have biases that they’re unaware of.
After the meeting, though, Lucca notices that most of the new associates are white.
When she brings that up to Jay, he informs her that even this minority-owned business has race problems.
Note, a storm erupts as Lucca and Jay discuss this problem on the way to work.
When Jay gets to the office, he immediately confronts Adrian and Liz about the pay problem.
Needless to say, the conversation doesn’t go well.
“It’s capitalism, Liz!”
This is another instance where the Kings touch on the ways in which power can change people.
Adrian and Liz’s entire exchange is uncomfortable but it’s also realistic.
Furthermore, I also love thatThe Good Fightis willing to cast characters who admit to uncomfortable truths like this.
Naturally, this knowledge being out in the open upends the entire firm as colleagues become adversaries.
And thus Maia’s career at Reddick Boseman Lockhart ends (at least for now.
I can’t imagine Rose Leslie is actually done with the show).
Remember when Taylor Swift’s Instagram post caused aspike in voter registrationamong young people?
Again, the good fight sours a bit.
