The Rosalind Shays lawsuit continues with Grace and Victor springing a surprise witness against Rosalind when her own daughter Susan Raab testifies against her, embarrassing Rosalind. But the case continues to go badly when Kelsey, Becker and even McKenzie himself are racked over on the witness stand with damaging incidents from their pasts, which makes matters worse when the troublesome and senile Murray begins inciting reporters about the case. Meanwhile, Kuzak faces off against a biased judge on the Chisolm case who's trying to appease Holloway and the angry black masses protesting for a conviction, while Kuzak tries to get a very reluctant Rollins to help him sit co-counsel for the case. Markowitz and Kelsey agree to a sexual hiatus, and Douglas decides to end his relationship with his sex surrogate, Marilyn Hopkins, after finding out of her other weird clients.

Kelsey faces disbarment for revealing knowledge of her former client Suzanne Hamil's murder obtained through attorney-client privilege. Victor, now an independent lawyer, is representing his old friend Mark Gilliam, an AIDS-stricken lawyer, suing an insurer for not providing coverage for his medical needs, while he and Grace finally marry. Meanwhile, Becker tells Roxanne that he has feelings for her and they end up falling through the ceiling while engaged in a little romp. Abby is finally made a partner, and McKenzie inherits Rosalind Shays' estate.
