Cooper and Skip defend a young African-American man, Zeke Rawlins (guest star Jocko Sims) who has been wrongly accused of robbery and murder because of his race and the fact that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Skip uses a tactic he learned in law school to show that a witness cannot distinguish the defendant's photo from those of other black men, the prosecution presents a witness that catches them off guard. Meanwhile, Cooper gives manslaughter convict Dulcinea "Dee" Real (Jaime Lee Kirchner, "Rent") a job as his receptionist to fulfill her parole agreement and Skip runs into his law school crush, Kate Manat (Susan Ward, "Sunset Beach"), who is now working for the powerful law firm that wouldn't hire him. Lastly, Cooper and Skip clash on Skip's refusal to conduct himself in a proper manner while in court and not to just rant---especially when going up against ADA Dick Dietz.
