Eli Gold Vs. Ruth Eastman: Who Will Control The Florrick Campaign?

6/16

Round Five: The Florricks Fight

Winner: Eli
Why: While an inadvertent win, a W is a W. With Alicia in his corner, Eli is able to maintain his position.

Alicia visited Peter in his office, where he told her about Ruth's plans to follow her around with a camera crew as part of an effort to recast her "image." He also said that Eli had to go, because Peter needs Ruth and those were her orders. Instead of capitulating, Alicia doubled down by reminding her husband that he needed her, too. After pointing out that Peter needed the public to see that he has a family that will continue to stand by him, he conceded, saying, "Eli is all yours."
