Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When a man is killed and an off duty cop is left wounded in a bar shooting, Nick must prove reasonable doubt in his client’s charge for attempted murder. Meanwhile, Pete tries to cut a deal for man caught with stolen Elvis memorabilia.
Our Take
The Elvis memorabilia subplot sounds like filler, and honestly it kind of is, but Jerry O’Connell sells it with enough charm to keep things watchable. The bar shooting case does the heavy lifting and gives Belushi some decent courtroom moments, though the resolution arrives a bit too neatly. A middle-of-the-road hour that coasts on the leads’ chemistry.
