Alan’s dismayed when Gretchen Winters gives a damning testimony against Patrice Kelly. She describes how she calmly marched into the office, and shot Sean Harmon in the head. Plump associate Nancy Wilding can’t believe her ears when Denny invites her into his office, and fires her for being too fat. Alan’s witness, Dr. Jason Marcini, testifies that Patrice was on automatic pilot when she killed Harmon due to her anger. His testimony is damaged in the cross-examination by ADA Betts. Jerry is assigned the case of Leigh Swift, who’s afflicted with Asperger syndrome just like him. She wants to sue the city for taking away her lover, a city utility box. She’s an objectophile, someone who is emotionally attracted to inanimate objects. When Nancy informs Sack that she’s been fired by Denny for being fat (and is going to sue), Sack confronts Denny; who believes there is no such thing as bad press as long as people are talking about you.

As Patrice prepares to testify, Alan confides that he is worried because she isn’t likeable or emotional enough to win over a jury. Patrice doesn’t think she can be that kind of person. She testifies about her voice from God, and that she felt it was morally right (and God’s will) to kill Harmon even though she now realizes she was sick at the time. Lorraine asks Denny to apologize to Nancy, and together they can make her case go away. Whitney has a priest testify that God would forgive Patrice for killing Harmon, and that the bible teaches “an eye for an eye.” ADA Betts has a Judeo-Christian scholar take the stand, and he refutes the priest. Alan delivers a decisive cross-examination of the man, and attacks his statements with a vengeance until Judge Fudd screams at him. Nancy returns to the firm with her lawyer, Emma Path. They reject the firm’s offer of returning Nancy’s job to her along with twenty-five thousand in cash. Denny makes matters worse by calling them fat losers. Sack calls Denny into his office. He compliments him, and then tries to reason with him to settle this. Denny just breaks wind, and then leaves.

Betts closes, addressing the jury with words that would lead them to believe that Patrice planned the murder as a calculated act of revenge. Alan closes by instructing the jury that vengeance is healthy, but only when the person wronged carries it out. The government can’t do it for you. He reminds them that above all, justice was finally done. Jerry hopes Leigh is going to ask him out. Unfortunately she only wants to take home his office clock-radio because it reminds her of another ex-lover. Judge Fudd has a closed-door session with Betts and Alan. The jury wants to know if they can find Patrice guilty of manslaughter, a lesser charge that only carries five years instead of life. Betts says he will be willing to add the manslaughter charge, but Alan gambles and rejects the offer. It’s life in prison or a not-guilty verdict for his client. Denny tells Sack that he dismissed Nancy because he has the fat gene. He just read that fatness is contagious, and he can’t afford to risk catching it from her.

Leigh returns Jerry’s clock radio… and to his great pleasure, asks him out for a drink. They leave together, hands on respective thighs. The jury finds Patrice not guilty on both murder counts. Alan later admits to Denny that her case scared him. Denny can’t believe that after all that Alan still doesn’t condone the death penalty. Denny asks Alan to defend him against Nancy’s lawsuit, and Alan agrees. When pressed by Alan, Denny admits that he really fired Nancy because she turned him down for sex. Even though he is getting older, it really hurt Denny to have a fat girl reject him. It makes him feel like he’s over. Alan tells him he’s not over, and Denny softly admits that he loves Alan. It’s a tender moment between dear friends. Alan ruins the moment for Denny by suggesting a sleepover. As the camera pulls back they bicker on the balcony like an old married couple.
