What goes down: After Governor Reston catches a man in the midst of raping his wife, Joan, he shoots the man and later enlists Pope and Associates to help him navigate any murder charges. After word leaks to the press and the world starts hailing him as a hero for saving his wife, Olivia discovers that Joan was actually having an affair with the guy Reston shot and that Reston killed the man on purpose. Not only can Olivia not tell anyone about Reston's true motivations because it would implicate OPA, but Reston also pulls strings in a way that his wife ends up going to jail instead. The smug, satisfied smile that's on his face as he tells Olivia his master plan is infinitely slappable.
