Alicia is contacted by Natalie Flores, the intern who once worked at Lockhart Gardner, seeking help for an illegal immigrant, Tomas Ruiz, who has been taken into custody by federal authorities. The feds are trying to get him to testify against a Mexican criminal and are offering him a visa to regularize his status in return. Alicia makes sure he gets police protection but when the Mexican criminal returns voluntarily to Mexico to avoid prosecution, Tomas' testimony is no longer required. In a subsequent error, he is put on a deportation bus headed to the Mexican border where he will certainly be killed. Alicia and Cary works tirelessly to get the deportation stopped. With little money coming in to the new firm, Robyn is afraid she might be laid off. Meanwhile, Eli tries to pursue a relationship with Natalie - something that may be interfering with his advice to Peter.
