Ben takes over the law firm after the death of his father and hires Keegan, who manages to win his first case despite being completely unprepared for it, but he doesn't get the reaction he expected from the partners. Meanwhile, Leanne wants to be on Keegan's staff at Ben's firm; Bruce can't accept the fact that Maddy broke up with him; Scarlet rethinks the launch of her campaign for DA; and a new wrinkle develops in Keegan's relationship with the mayor's wife.

Mikki's former pimp, Jules, is charged with assault after an altercation with an influential agent whose status in Los Angeles prohibits witnesses from speaking out, even though it's clear that Jules is innocent. Meanwhile, Scarlet's DA campaign hits a roadblock; and Maddy has a confrontation with Finn's teacher.
