Dan's office plays hardball with Maguire & Froman after Kathleen testifies against a well-connected D.A. who's looking to try a shady case just for the easy win. But it's Will's innocent date-rape client who may pay the price for Kathleen's crusade once Terry is ordered to make sure the kid is sent away.

A client threatens Kathleen's son to keep her from revealing his plans to kill the one person who could put him away for assault; drug charges against a mobster's daughter hint at a dirty deal within Dan's office; and Will is faced with putting a defendant on the stand knowing that she may lie about her husband's fatal postcoital mishap.

Hank Tyler, a man cleared in a check fraud case, shows up at Kathleen's house after breaking out of jail and asks to sleep on her couch until he turns himself into the police with her as his lawyer. The next morning, Patrick sees Hank reading the newspaper in his underwear. He innocently tells Patrick that Kathleen is in the shower. Danny calls and Patrick answers the phone. At the police station, they quickly cuff Tyler and take him away. Kathleen and Diana immediately start to work on getting Tyler out of jail because while charges were pending against Tyler, the police arrested him believing he was Hank Taylor, a man already convicted of another crime. LISA, the prosecuting attorney, presses full charges against Tyler for escape and theft of another man's clothing. The judge does not want to proceed, but Lisa, operating under Danny's orders, proceeds with the charges. Kathleen tries to talk Lisa out of the bogus charges but she's very stubborn about it. Later, Kathleen talks with Danny about talking with Lisa about getting rid of the charges but Danny tells her that it's Lisa's decision to go forward. Will asks Terry to get a continuous on a case because he needs more time to prepare to interview a witness, Mr. Patel. Terry says no, stating he should have been prepared by now. When Will goes to interview Patel, Patel is resistant to talking to him because Terry has already told him about Will's slick and conning ways of abstracting information from witnesses. When in court while Patel is on the stand, Will asks Patel if the reason he wouldn't answer questions from Will is because of Terry's comments and Patel says yes. The judge throws the case out of court. Later, the judge pulls Will into her office and suggests that he stop embarrassing his opposition. Kathleen talks with Terry about Vincet Ramos, a man convicted of killing an elderly woman while trying to rob her. Since the victim resisted, Ramos feels that the wom

Ms. Vaughn calls Kathleen and Danny to Patrick's school to inform them that he's fighting again and if it happens once more, he's expelled. After Patrick leaves the room, Ms. Vaughn suggests family counseling, but Danny is against the idea. Kathleen talks with RUBEN, a man in prison on the three strikes law. Ruben tells her that his second trial was unfair and therefore shouldn't be in prison. She tells him that she'll research his file before making a decision to accept him as a client. Kathleen goes to court to defend her father, Frank, against a bar fight. He shows up drunk and offends Judge Haas. Haas has him arrested for disorderly conduct. Trish brings Patrick to the courthouse and Kathleen takes him up to the jail to see that Frank is behind bars. Patrick is upset to see Frank behind bars but Kathleen tells him if he continues picking fights with others, he'll end in jail also. Frank is upset that Patrick saw him but then softens and tells Kathleen that he's scared of getting old and dying. Will visits Reggie in jail to find him badly beaten by a Dominican gang for withholding money. Reggie will give Will information on another murder case if he helps Reggie get transferred to another prison. Afterwards, he visits Angela in jail, who is charged with unknowingly running drugs for her boyfriend, NICK, a doctor. He promises to get her probation if she testifies against Nick, but she's disappointed because she wanted to marry him, even though it's clear that he doesn't want to marry her. Will invites Nick and his lawyer to his office to discuss the charges against Angela. He tells Nick's lawyer that if Nick wants to keep a good reputation as a doctor without having Angela testify against him, he should marry Angela because the law states that a spouse doesn't have to testify against the other if they choose not to. In addition, he'll have to pay Angela 50,000 dollars, a percentage going to Will. Nic
