Second straight episode where the show seems to be going off focus.

For the second time, we have a confusing murder trial where the defense of another jurisdiction is helping the prosecution and vice versa as well.

If one person is guilty, that evidence would then be allowed to be used at the other trial. Imagine by the end when both defendants are judged to be guilty!

Guess who is interested in condoms? No, it's not Alicia's son or daughter.

Accusations continue to mount against Eli Gold in a never-ending attempt to smear the Florrick Campaign for Governor.

Kalinda promises Alicia at the end that her husband, who has been dealing drugs via his truck, shall not be back. Did Kalinda go bang, bang when she confronted her husband?

I didn't watch TGW when it aired 10 years ago... I recently found it on Start TV, and I have loved it until this episode. In fact, "Battle of the Proxies" almost made me stop watching TGW altogether! I don't care if a lawyer is supposed to defend their client, if you have evidence that a man is innocent, you STOP trying to send him to prison! In this episode Alicia is giving evidence to acquit Will's client (who's guilty) and convict another guy (who's innocent) and she KNOWS this, yet she still gives the prosecutor tips on how to convict the innocent man! I was disgusted! I mean truly disgusted. I know this would never happen in a real-life court case, but can you imagine??!!

The thing that bothered me the most about this episode is after the innocent man was convicted (thanks to Alicia) they brush it off with an "oh well, we'll turn over the evidence to help with his appeal". I found this appalling considering how long appeals take & once a person is convicted it takes a tremendous effort and tremendous new evidence to overturn a conviction. Helping to convict innocent people is NOT an attorneys job! And if it is, then give me Matlock or Perry Mason anyday over Will Gardner!

While going over numbers Eli starts talking to some unknown man who reveals himself wanting to talk to Eli about his cases before joining the campaign. Will is apart of a new case about a girl who was murdered after being followed by the man said to be guilty. At the same time as Will .vs. Laura there is another case about the same women. Eli goes to Diane to look for some legal advice in how to deal with this man he met while having lunch. Eli then shows Diane a photo of him and Kalinda that he is worried about making her to keep to herself. While sitting in on a case Alicia hands some soil analysis that helped the lawyers case a bit. Alicia try's to talk to Zach after seeing what he searched online. Zach then tells Alicia Grace was the one who did the search and also who she is seeing at the moment. Alicia goes into work the next day and Nick is waiting for Alicia wanting him as her lawyer and not Cary. Alicia then makes the decision to set Nick go from being a client. Laura puts a witness on the stand but after Will is done with him we find out he lied about his hearing being good. Alicia tells Kalinda not to worry about Nick anymore being at the law firm but she knows know she must be worried about him. Like when Alicia's lawyer got some evidence from her the defense gets some from Tom Brady. Diane joins Eli to meet with the man who was questioning Eli about his old cases. Diane try's to pay off the man but he does not want to hear anything about being paid off. Alicia, Tom and the original lawyers start to scream and shot at each other at a case hearing where evidence is let through to be looked at. Alicia goes into Grace's room to talk to her about her dating life. When Alicia brings up condoms Grace wants no part in talking about it. When Will try's to question a client Laura takes it up to the stand because she is worried about his tactics with are looked on as good. Kalinda goes to Nick's site hitting a car and man telling the man she hit to tell Nick to come at talk to her. Eli and Diane meet again with the reporter who is told to go to hell. Alicia questions Will's motives in the case but he goes through with them anyway. Eli gets his office raided after refusing to talk. Zack did some looking into it and finds out Jackie was the one who searched the condoms. Will's client is found guilty for murder by the jury in the end. Kalinda waits for Nick at the office when he walks in. She gives him a plan to make him leave with the money she has gotten for him. Kalinda meets with Alicia happy Nick might finally be gone for good. Good episode, finally glad the Kalinda husbands plot line might finally be over.
