Lola is conflicted when a former judge, Judge Prudence Jenkins, whom she idolized, has been accused of bribery and is representing herself in a bench trial. Also, Mark moves forward with the case against McCarthy and he and Corrine Cuthbert each get one unchallenged request for a new judge, no questions asked.

Lola is tested like never before during a high-profile murder case when the women of Audubon and Associates - Rachel and Amy - combine forces with Public Defender Emily to represent the co-defendants. Also, David Sanders helps Lola court donations and endorsements to prepare for her upcoming re-election campaign.
