When Bush wins by a narrow margin, Cheney begins to use his newfound power to help reshape the country and the world.

Eli苦口婆心地劝说Alicia启动参选州检察官的宣传活动，但Alicia固执地拒绝了。与此同时，Diane考虑以合伙人身份加盟Florrick/Agos事务所，但一场内部危机很可能在她加盟之前就毁掉这家事务所。 本季开始的时候，Eli竭力劝说（苦苦哀求）Alicia参选州检察官，但Alicia一直拒绝（你将看到她异常顽固的一面），由此产生了该剧不常见的喜剧效果。

CBS于2012年3月14日宣布续订第四季。
