Following their arrest for a jewelry theft at the home of Kelly McDowell, a wealthy socialite, pole-dancing teachers Amber North and Simone Winters hire Franklin and Bash. Facing off against Peter’s ex, Janie Ross, Franklin and Bash try to discredit the claim that their clients drugged Kelly and her friends so they could steal the jewelry. After Peter and Jared fail to have the evidence, obtained in a search of Amber’s apartment, thrown out, Amber and Simone turn against each other. So when they decide to separate their clients, Jared takes Simone, Peter takes Amber, and Franklin vs. Bash is on. Meanwhile, Hanna and Karp represent Alex Carlisle, a thirteen-year-old boy who is suing his father so he can take a kayak down the Amazon River alone. After they agree not to discuss the case, Peter and Jared are cornered when opposing lawyer Janie Ross offers a deal to the first pole-dancing teacher, who agrees to testify against the other. Once she sees how badly it has divided them, Janie opts to seek convictions against both. When Jared produces evidence that Amber had a prescription for the painkiller that was used on the victims, Peter sees his own case with Simone crumbling. Meanwhile, despite 13-year-old Alex’s formidable display of maturity in the courtroom, his dad’s lawyer reveals that the boy walked out on summer camp because he was homesick. As Alex’s legal team continues preparing their defense, it is clear that the boy is smitten with Hanna. With help from Pindar and Carmen, Peter and Jared see that the case is dividing their partnership and agree to work as a team. Evidence that socialite Kelly is in deep financial trouble and facing foreclosure leads them to suspect that she engineered the theft in order to collect on her insurance policy. Though the judge refuses to let Kelly’s safe deposit box be opened in court to see if it contains a “stolen” necklace, Jared’s fancy legal maneuvering gets a copy of Kelly’s own pain medication prescription entered into evidence, allowing him and Peter to discredit her testimony and win an acquittal for their clients. Then, after proving that Mr. Carlisle’s concern stems from fear of being left home alone rather than concern for his son’s safety, Hanna and Karp successfully convince him to let Alex take the trip down the Amazon. © 2011 Sony Pictures Television Inc.
