Jay takes on an uncomfortable case, while Allison tries to navigate the Seth situation.
Take Leonard for instance: We briefly meet his mother, Senator Knox.
She seems both powerful and unfeeling.

What was his childhood like?
Jays parents are immigrants who run a dry cleaning store.
His mom still packs him lunch.
He may live to regret that commitment.
Obviously he becomes a better person through his hardships and retrospection.
This is TV, people!
With the face tattoos to prove it!
Jay meets this Carl character, and he is as awful as youd expect.
He gets the same speech from Clerk Krissman.
In a wonderful development, Krissman and Jay go way back.
But Krissman reminds her young friend that when they go low, we go high.
With all this reassurance, Jay still has a tough battle in front of him.
Things dont look good which gives Jay an idea.
He needs to make the jury forget about looks.
He comes up with a new strategy.
Hes going to make the jury see this, too.
Thats not an America that Jay wants to live in.
(Recap continues on page 2)
See?
A Closing Argument Moment!
Delap wants Roger to start charging people.
He also wants Roger to buy a tall plant to make his office seem bigger.
The guy has a lot of asks!
Roger gives the opioid task to Blunt Cut and her new assistant, Probation Seth.
This development does not just Seth nor does it just Blunt Cut, who will suffer no fools.
Seth doesnt make a great first impression.
When they show up at Judge Byrnes home to file the warrant requests, he reams them out.
This is lazy and sloppy and borderline unethicalhe would never grant this request.
You guys, Blunt Cut ispissed.
She hasnt slept more than four hours a night since elementary school, she is not lazy.
She blames Probation Seth for this, and is not giving him a second chance.
They are doing thisherway.
You could call it the Blunt Cut way or the Al Capone way.
Al Capone was arrested not for his mafia doings, but for tax evasion.
Little do they know the situation is much bigger than just that.
Shes not allowed to leave the house until she works off that debt shes been there for 17 years.
But wait, theres more.
The housekeeper has millions of dollars to her name and several offshore bank accounts in the Cayman Islands.
This case just became about opioids again.
Needless to say, Roger (and Delap) is elated.
This isnt justanymovement on drug cases, this ishuge.
Five million dollars to be exact.
Well, except for Probation Seth.
Still, he is continually having awkward run-ins with Allison.
Shes trying to normalize things, but it isnt working.
), so she has a sneaky feeling that hell be back.
The only problem: Allison didnt kick Seth out, he left because he wanted to.
Its always Allisons way.
She makes all the decisions in the relationship.
If he sticks around, hell always be second chair to her.
Thats a devastating blow in lawyer speak.
So no, there wont be any easy reunion for Seth and Allison.
Who goes by Sandy now, I guess?
Also, theres lots of rats and broken down stairs, etc.
Its a terrible situation and Sandy wont stand for it.
When she makes her case in front of the judge, she gets very worked up.
So worked up that you know this is about more than justice for her client this is personal.
She especially gets choked up as she talks about slumlords having no regard for their tenants.
Those tenants and those kids go neglected.
WE GET IT, SANDY.
Assume well be learning more about Sandys troubled childhood and how it connects to her deep desire for justice.
Sounds fun, right?
There may be hope for Sandy (and Allison!
And then the BFFs share a bowl of cereal.
Its all very cute, even if they are eating something called Soy Flakes.
