ABC Summary
Brad Chase pushes for an immediate trial after he is arrested for impersonating an FBI officer and assaulting a priest during the rescue of a kidnapped child. Shirley Schmidt is worried about how this case may reflect on the firm and is reluctant to consent to Brad's request for the erratically-behaving Denny Crane to be the lead attorney. Meanwhile, Alan Shore tries to bail out his secretary, Melissa (Marisa Coughlan) , who is in serious credit card debt, and seeks the assistance of the firm's quirky but brilliant bank and finance genius, "Hands" Espenson (Christian Clemenson).
