A lawyer buries herself in work, going to great lengths to defend the wrongfully accused after the disappearance of her young son.

Elizabeth represents a man who claims to have "special powers" after he finds the remains of a man who has been missing for almost 20 years; Elizabeth makes a startling admission about Sam's abduction.

Vindictive Deputy Attorney General Williams builds a case against Elizabeth to prove that she broke the law while defending a man accused of murdering a child; terrified and unprepared, Molly mounts her first defence.

Elizabeth defends two high-school students accused of soliciting murder, but one of the girls switches lawyers and cuts a deal, making it a case of "she said, she said."

Elizabeth tries to cut a deal and get her affairs in order, but Russell, Chester and Molly begin building a surprise defence involving Elizabeth's prosecutor, Deputy Attorney General Zach Williams.

Elizabeth tries to avoid defending an admitted rapist; Chester goes after a greedy slumlord after a rat disfigures a girl living in one of his rodent-infested properties; Molly receives the results of her bar exam.
