- Peter is happy to take on as client former frat buddy Danny 'Double D' Dubois, whom Jared can't forgive having showered with his then girlfriend years ago, now falsely accused of causing a car crash while rushing in a golf cart to a brothel, allegedly drunk again from beer his grandmother -with whom he lives, having been sacked- stocks only for him. Stanton Infeld mistrusts Karp, given his romantic break-up with Hanna, so gives Jared the lead the fat divorce case client Rick Paxton starts against her tycoon husband Rick, who happens to have the same mistress, and a macho-embarrassing secret which allows Jared to arrange a surprise outcome.—KGF Vissers
- Peter represents Jared's old frenemy in a legal dilemma. With things never what they seem to be, the guys begin to see their client a different way. Jared is also asked to run lead on a divorce case when it becomes clear Karp and Hanna's history prevents them from working together.—TNT Publicity
- Open with Franklin and Bash playing pool with a bunch of party goers in what turns out to be Karp's office. Franklin is telling everyone he never slept with Hannah.
Karp, Hannah and Infeld head that way and we learn they are representing a woman in divorce proceedings. He's apparently admitted to cheating which should trigger an infidelity clause.
When they arrive we see Franklin and Bash are pretending it's Karp's 50th birthday. Franklin and Karp are going back and forth over Hannah. We learn the woman is Maya Paxson, wife of famous millionaire and adventurer Rick.
Back at their place the guys are visited by former acquaintance Danny Dubois, who Franklin clearly doesn't like. He's a former hedge fund employee who recently got in a fight defending a buddy at a strip club and is being charged with assault. Franklin doesn't like the idea.
In the car Bash talks Franklin into helping Danny out and they meet with Janie. The case is just bar brawl and the club doesn't want to press charges. She says she'll put in a good word with Ellen (who hates them), the ADA who'll be taking the case.
Things get contentious during the Paxson's arbitration, primarily driven by counsel. Both sides claim the other was cheating.
During Danny's first appearance in court Ellen says the new charge is DUI (while driving a golf cart), adding that Danny hit an out-of-uniform cop during the fight.
Outside the courtroom Ellen complains she's bitter Janie has been promoted. Danny says he only had two beers that night, that he was at home with his grandmother. Danny lost his job and ended up finding he enjoyed spending time with his grandmother and her friends. If he loses he license he won't be able to drive his grandmother around.
The guys run into Maya, who talks about the possibility of their divorce going to trial. Franklin admits that keeping the situation going benefits both law firms.
Pindar tells the guys how much he loves old people and wants to interview Danny's grandmother's friends. Infeld says Maya so enjoyed Franklin's honesty that she wants him on the panel. Infeld asks Bash about the rumors of romance between partners. He says nothing.
During his video interview with the elderly set, Pindar becomes particularly fascinated by Nannate, one of Danny's grandmother's buddies who were there the night of the face. She says Danny had less than two beers and she still has the rest of the six-pack in her fridge.
Prior to the next arbitration Franklin spoke with Maya about smoothing things over. But that quickly flies out the window as both sides have damaging photos of them with the same woman. The lawyers argue more, with the couple attempting to get a few words in edge-wise. At one point Rick admits the cheating, but says he still loves Maya.
Nannette is a hit on the stands, as Bash demonstrates that for a woman in her 70s she is incredibly sharp, proving her ability to recall how many drinks Danny had that night.
Carmen finds the woman from the pictures with the Paxsons. She says she never had sex with Rick, but hints it almost happened.
On cross Ellen points out that Nannette is a former prostitute, basically killing her credibility.
Carmen tells Hanna and Franklin about what the woman told her. They don't understand why Rick would admit to sex that didn't actually happen. Franklin thinks that it could be that Rick had erection issues.
Bash tells Franklin a rising blood alcohol defense is next for Danny, that they must prove he wasn't drunk when he drove the cart since the alcohol hadn't hit his system until he took the breathalyzer test. Franklin wants to talk to Rick alone, a clear violation of ethics. Bash hates the idea.
Franklin gets Rick in an elevator and tells him to come to his place and give him a few minutes of his time.
At that night's party Danny tells Franklin he doesn't even remember why they don't get along. Nannette shows up just ahead of Rick. Franklin tells Rick he recently had a problem with impotence while with Hannah. This leads to Rick confessing he had issues getting it up. Given Rick's reputation he couldn't have the world know he had such a problem. Watching everybody drinking gives Bash and idea for Danny's trial.
Hannah tells Franklin to stop telling people they didn't have sex. She's a big girl and doesn't care what people think.
To prove a point Franklin stands up during Danny's trial and shotguns two beers. They then have the cop on the stand administer a breathalyzer test. This test registers .01, while one taken 15 minutes later comes up .09. The officer must admit it's possible Danny wasn't drunk when he was driving the golf cart.
Outside the courtroom Franklin gets a call from Karp that he's needed for the divorce case. He's too drunk to drive so Bash goes in his place.
Bash doesn't return in time and a drunken Franklin asks for a continuance. The judge says no, meaning he must give the closing argument. The tipsy Franklin makes the point that Danny should not receive a DUI conviction, along with complimenting him for spending time with his grandmother and defending a friend.
Bash guards the door and allows the Paxson to sit together and work out their issues without counsel present. Inside the room Rick tells Maya his infidelity with her scared him, which is why he looked outside the marriage. He says he'll tear up the pre-nup if given another chance.
Infeld hints that he isn't generally opposed to sex within the workplace.
Franklin of course wins Danny's case. Outside the courtroom Danny tells him that he actually showered with Bash's girlfriend, not his. Franklin pukes in the elevator.
