Of course, Diane has the only reasonable reaction to the plan Are you fing kidding?
The answer: Nope, they arent.
Even though shes crossed some lines this season, Diane is very vocal about her objections.
This is not winning.
This is stealing, she says emphatically.
All the while, Liz silently sits beside her.
Diane takes Liz aside, believing that Liz agrees with her.
To Diane (and my) surprise, Liz is actually considering it.
We share a lot of things, but we do not share histories, Liz tells Diane.
At some point, these stories become more than just anecdotes.
This democracy you talk about doesnt exist for a lot of us…
It is slowly being taken away from me.
In the end, Liz votes to support the plan, as do most of the other women.
Its official, weve just become as bad as the other side, says Diane.
Not to pile on Diane, but its worth pointing out that she essentially created this monster.
Even though Diane wants nothing to do with this plan, she nevertheless has to do her job.
Her speech took my breath away.
How can they trust the rights that flow from those votes?
If our votes are subverted or discarded, why have faith in our democratic institutions?
Why respect a president?
Why not choose violent overthrow if our votes are not counted?
This is about a constitutional right.
It is not a secondary one.
It is about who we are.
That is why we need this discovery.
Its a beautiful moment because shes doing two things at once.
Shes fighting for her client, which goes against what she wants to do.
In the end, the Judge rules to let them inspect the software to find any discrepancies.
After securing the software, Jay discovers the software is already infected with malware that favored Republican candidates.
The firm presents this evidence to the Judge, who decides to take some time before offering a ruling.
Of course, Diane is pissed that a corrupt judge just triumphed and shut them down.
In other words, weve just witnessed Diane break bad even further.
However, she isnt the only one who made some bold moves here.
Adrian catches wind of this and confronts Blum, and physically pins him to the wall.
Realizing that this situation needs to be handled, Adrian goes on the offensive.
First, he has Marissa collect evidence that Blum suborned perjury and reports him to the bar association.
Second, Adrian decides that the firm needs to go public with the Reddick settlements.
Well have to wait whether or not that happens in next week.
