The People Who Judge

Oh, plus:

CARY AGOS!

Cary: "Generous offer letter."
Diane: "Salary befitting our first choice. Welcome home, Cary. Hit the ground sprinting."
Cary: "Load me up!"
Diane: "I've been trying to get you back since you left, so yeah. I'm good."
Will: "And as for me, the slate is blank."

They shake hands, and Will grins as he says there's just a few administrative things Cary's going to need to take care of...

Lyman: "We need a slush fund. Discretionary fund. For hookers."
Cary: "Do what?"
Lyman: "For getting clients laid. Trust me on this."

(Cary: "I have... Am I being punk'd?"
Will: "Also, he thinks you're gay! But we'll let that surprise simmer for a while.")

Cary chases Kalinda into the hallway instead of dealing.

Kalinda: "So you're back, huh?"
Cary: "Is that okay? Will you come out for a drink tonight? With a group, I mean. Of third-years. Such as Alicia..."
Kalinda: "No, seriously. Thanks. Maybe next time."
Cary: "Good enough for me. Team Agos steps up to the plate, once again."

CUESTA

Lloyd: "Never saw them."
Alicia: "I can see missing one of them, but four receipts that call your case into question?"
Seth: "Asked and answered!"
Alicia: "Sure. But you were on financials for this case, yeah? And you would have had these on your desk at some point."
Lloyd: "If they'd been discovered, yes. They would have gone straight to Cuesta."

So it turns out that, on New Year's that year, Lloyd was in a car accident which, by May, had given him a full-blown hydrocodone addiction, and he went into treatment. This brings Seth all the way back around and he starts yelling at Alicia that this whole line is pointless because she's only doing this to reassign blame, and she puts that fake smile of her on: She's bringing evidence that's potentially damaging to her case in an effort to put the whole thing together and figure out the truth, but by all means, etc. By the time she starts throwing her arms around talking about how flattering it is that Seth finds her so deeply malevolent, Murph's had enough.

Addicted to painkillers in 1992? Yes. Did Cuesta know that? No. Did Cuesta ever see these receipts? No. And who was responsible for these receipts? Lloyd. Murph stares Cuesta in the eye a while, and thanks everybody for playing. Cuesta stares into space and thinks bad things about himself.
