SPOILERS AHEAD!
Alicia is busy managing a morning with the family when Peter calls from jail. She has little time, however, and hangs up on him after a few quick words. Meanwhile, their daughter Grace voices her unhappiness with their new home and her new school.
At work, Alicia is late for a meeting where Will Gardner and Diane Lockhart tell the first-year associates to find a way to bill more hours; only Cary is doing a really good job at that. An assistant interrupts, telling Alicia her son is outside asking for her. It is, however, not Zach but Kenny Chatham, the son of a befriended couple who says he needs a lawyer. He tells her that he got his hand on some marihuana at a party and ran away when a security guard showed up. Alicia gets permission from Will to drive Kenny home.
In the car, Kenny cannot understand why Alicia still cares about his parents, seeing how they treated her after her husband's sex scandal. She doesn't answer to that, remembering how close she used to be with his mother, Lauren, and agrees to talk to her first. However, a few minutes later, Kenny is arrested for felony murder.
Kalinda explains that the security guard Kenny mentioned earlier was found dead, and that police believes Kenny and another boy, Brian Keller murdered him during an attempted burglary. Alicia takes the case and talks to Kenny, who swears that they were invited to the house of his friend, Spencer Rankin. She also asks someone else to be first chair due to her involvement in the case. At court, Kenny's parents angrily demand to know why the lawyer they hired was turned away; the lawyer in question, Terry Streiger, tells her she is in way over her head. Alicia, however, points out that Kenny asked for her, and that she cares more about him than Streiger ever will.
As Judge Earl Hovick opens the pretrial hearings, Alicia is surprised that Diane assigned Cary as her first chair. The prosecution asks for Kenny to be denied bail, as Brian Keller has decided to testify against him. Judge Hovick denies bail and sends the boy back to his cell. Back home, Alicia wants to tell her children what happened, but they already know everything about it from their friends.
