'The Good Fight' Season 4 Episode 4 Preview: Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart satirized in play targeting client
No one enjoys being made fun of, and when your stage play parodies a group of highly prideful lawyers, you might find yourself in for more trouble than you bargained for. The gang at Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart is about to face some uncomfortable portrayals of themselves, as a case leads them to find a play that parodies the firm.
One of the firms former clients, Duncan Herz (Jeremy Holm) claims that a popular new play in Chicago has based a play on his divorce and that the play divulges more than just embarrassing secrets of his. Given that Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart handled the client's case, the firm very much falls under the play's satiric scope. A promo for the episode shows glimpses of the play and it's a lot more salacious than anything we've ever seen on the show. While it upsets some members of the firm, David Lee (Zach Grenier), at least, appears to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
In the meanwhile, however, Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) has not given up her pursuit for answers in regards to Memo 618. After discovering that the office wifi blocks all attempts to search for anything related to Memo 618, Diane traces leads in her investigation all the way back to her own bosses at STR Laurie, meaning there would be a confrontation with Gavin Firth (John Larroquette). Firth might come to regret his parable about seeking truth when Diane attempts to extract some from him.
The official synopsis for the episode reads, "A former divorce client, Duncan Herz, seeks the firm's help, claiming a buzzy new play running in Chicago is based on his divorce and shares specific details that unearth more than just his dirty laundry. Diane attempts to get to the heart of Memo 618 when a missing case leads her to the corporate overlords themselves, STR Laurie."
The promotional clips for the episode feature a blonde actress, likely meant to be Diane herself, in hot black latex, nighttime affairs and clandestine meetings all featured on stage. Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart has never looked this good.
The next episode of 'The Good Fight' airs on May 7 on CBS All Access.
