Meanwhile, Kuzak represents Abby when she agrees to testify before a grand jury seeking to indict her for money laundering. Brackman enlists Benny as a silent partner when he goes to interview Leo Hackett, a potentially new client. Hackett then introduces Benny to his retarded and withdrawn daughter, Alice, whom Benny develops a crush on. Rollins volunteers to help Diana with her divorce, and Roxanne has second thoughts about Becker's approach of handling her own divorce from Dave Meyer. Also, Kelsey can't overcome the pain of losing her newly-adopted baby daughter in the custody suit. Written by Anonymous See less
