When the lucrative Bass divorce is derailed by allegations of husband Connery's embezzling, Abby and Daniel race to get their client, Sabrina, clear.

The parallels to their own lives are unmistakable when both Abby and Daniel represent clients who want something a court can't order: their parents' respect.

Abigail and Daniel represent Ira, who wants his wife Helen moved from a care home that he claims is worsening her Alzheimer's. But because his daughter doesn't want Helen moved and holds power of attorney, Ira must challenge her in court. The more the lawyers witness, the more they wonder about Ira's true motivations. The case, and his own family, make Daniel start to question his commitment to Danielle. Meanwhile, Lucy tries to maintain a sliver of sanity when her in-laws stay over. And Harry forces Abigail to represent him in a (deeply embarrassing) personal injury case.

The lawyers are bewildered when a young couple begs them to reverse an adoption after learning about the baby's serious health issues. Abigail determines that the father, Ajay, is driving the decision, and convinces the mother, Jane to fight to keep the baby. Meanwhile, Daniel makes his case for Harry to promote him to partner, after breaking it off with Danielle. Lucy and Maggie's differences over starting a family come to a head while Abigail and Frank have to deal with their own parenting issues when Sofia is caught making out with a boy Abby calls "Charles Manson kid.

Abby and Daniel represent a woman whose divorce gets ugly when her ex-husband accuses her of being in a cult.

The lawyers represent a mail-order bride whose husband wants to annul the marriage and have her deported.
