ABC Summary
Alan Shore travels to Texas with Chelina Hall to make a last ditch appeal for death row inmate Zeke Borns, a man with diminished mental capacity who was convicted of a crime he does not even remember committing. Meanwhile, Denny Crane and Shirley Schmidt defend Miriam Watson (Shelley Long), a prim and proper businesswoman who is charged with engaging in sexual conduct for a fee, and Lori Colson, fed up with Denny's offensive behavior, approaches Schmidt and Lewiston to lodge an official complaint.
