When Nina's refusal to lose cases to her ex-fiancé Trent starts clogging up the court system, she's forced to accept that in this world compromising isn't losing -it's a fact of life. Meanwhile, Carlos gives up smoking and the gang worries about his ability to de-stress without that vice.

Nina is assigned one of Phil's old defendants and makes a bet with Phil that she'll fix what he couldn't and get the guy out of the court system once and for all. Meanwhile, after Micah criticizes Phil and Carlos's performance in court, they decide to teach her a lesson and give her a case of her own.
