Peter and Jared tackle journalist shield law when they agree to defend a high school newspaper reporter accused of running a smear campaign against another student. Winning this one is especially important to Peter because the mother of the young journalist is an old High School flame who got away. Meanwhile, Jared and Swattello are required to fill out HR forms detailing the nature of their professional relationship and Infeld sues a dry cleaner over a pair of extremely overpriced pants.

Jared wakes up in bed next to Peter's mom equal parts thrilled and horrified that he's slept with his best friend's mom. Peter finds out about it and things get awkward, but the guys must quickly put aside their differences on the issue to save their beloved diner after it's been shut down and is in the process of being bought out by a competitor. Also, Pindar returns from his travels abroad and informs the guys he's engaged - but is his fiancée real?
