Several weeks have passed since Amy's miscarriage, but things are not quite back to normal for her. She refuses to discuss the house with David and brushes off Bruce's admonition that she's becoming too close to Graciela. Maxine meets up with a high school friend at a wedding and discovers that her recent divorce has left her depressed. Maxine helps her reconnect with the world by getting her involved at the hospital - holding HIV positive babies to stimulate their growth. Crystal invites Vincent to come to her AA meeting marking 30 days of being sober and they begin a new phase in their relationship. When Graciela is arrested for being in the car during a drive-by shooting, Amy goes all-out to keep her from being tried as an adult. Bruce asks her not to get too invested because he doesn't want to see her "lose...again," which unfortunately, she does. David returns Amy's half of the deposit on their dream house and tells her that he thinks they should take a break.

In Amy's courtroom, she adjudicates a case involving two Arab-American Muslim boys, one of whom embraces his religion and culture and the other who is ashamed of his background, after they get into an altercation at their high school. Meanwhile, Crystal goes behind Vincent's back to have him transferred to a different job, which puts a damper on their relationship. Amy is hurt because Lauren doesn't want her to chaperone a school dance. Elsewhere, Maxine tries to teach a sexually promiscuous teenager the dangers of having unprotected sex and spring is in the air - and romance seems to be blossoming between Maxine and a newly divorced Ignacio.
