In this episode we find that the woman Alec was meeting with was, supposedly, not a woman he was having an affair with but, rather, his sponsor in a 12-step drug program (either AA or NA). All such programs strongly discourage members from choosing sponsors of the opposite gender because of the risk of romantic or sexual complications.
Cal: I was afraid you were going to get hurt. Gillian: You were protecting me? Cal: Something like that. Gillian: You know... the line we talked about? You know, the line we have to draw because we see things people are hiding. Things they don't want us to know. I think we should respect the line. I think it's best for both of us.
Gillian: Loker isn't the only one who lied. Cal: Oh yeah? Gillian: That woman who came in yesterday, that's Alec's sponsor. He had a problem with cocaine before we were married. But he's been in recovery every since. A couple of months ago, he started using again, and he's just trying to stay clean. Cal How's he doing. Gillian: Some days are good, some... not so good.
Loker: Before you say anything, it was me. I blew up the deal. I went to the SCC, I lied to Foster about it. I still think it was the right thing to do, but no one else was involved. It was just me. Cal: I knew that. Loker: You did? Cal Yeah. Yeah, I've known that all along.
Loker: The lawsuit. That was a test? You lied to everyone in the office so you could treat me like a lab rat? Cal: No. No, I was testing Torres. Loker: Why? Cal 'Cause I could tell she knew what you'd done. I mean, there's no surprise there, but, you know, we have a lot of secrets here. So, I wanted to see if she could keep one under pressure. Loker: Are you gonna fire her for not turning me in? Cal: No, I'd have fired her if she had.
Cal: You got your head up your ass. Hoopes: Excuse me? Cal: You've got your head... up your ass. Hoopes: Great. Mayor brings in a guy to investigate, and he's already on your side. Cal (points to the mayor's assistant): No, he's got his head up his ass, too.
Cal: Loyalty's crucial here. But you, on the other hand, what you did is inexcusable. And involving her is selfish, disrespectful, and just plain stupid. Loker: I'll empty my office. Cal: No, you can stay. You can stay. But from now, you'll be paid what you're worth, which is nothing. You're an unpaid intern. It's that, or you can leave.
Dupree: (about Loker) So... he did something that could get him fired, and he told you all about it? Ria: He was scared. Dupree: He made you a part of his mess? Ria: He just needed to talk to somebody. I mean, isn't that what friends do? Confide in each other? Dupree: You know what a real friend does when he's got a secret? He keeps his mouth shut. Ria: So do you have secrets you're not telling me? Dupree: Lots of 'em. Because I am a very good friend.
