Alicia leverages an offer from Louis Canning this week into a bonus from Diane, who invokes special partner privilege to reward the third-year associate.

Elsewhere:

- The equity partners continue to fight over Will's spot.

- Diane starts to juggle two men, Jack the process server and a returning Kurt McVeigh, who she surprises in the middle of the night.

- Alicia also makes a peace offering to Kalinda, telling her they can maybe be friends again but all cards must be on the table. Kalinda agrees, but the episode ends with a hesitant look on her face, likely related to her tax issue.
