Cynthia sees how the other half lives when a former maid's daughter and childhood playmate, Amanda, appears in night court. Amanda suffers from a bipolar disorder and currently doesn't have her medication and is living on the streets. When Cynthia tries to help Amanda get shelter and a Medicaid card, she's sent on a journey that has her navigating a social services system fraught with red tape. Cynthia, who was raised a millionaire, finds herself in check-cashing lines trying to pay a phone bill and in a hardware store bartering for an air conditioner for Amanda's mother.

As a last resort, a desperate woman approaches Bobby and Cynthia about appealing her husband's 20-year sentence for murder. A weekend affair to remember happens for ADA Supervisor Michelle Grande and Harley Rand, a cowboy sheriff from New Mexico. The sheriff is in town to extradite a prisoner being held 100 Centre Street.
