⚠ Spoiler alert This recap gives away what happens in this episode.
Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The law firm of Morelli & Kaczmarek is no more when Nick and Pete temporarily dissolve their partnership so they can both represent a husband and wife accused of murdering a yoga instructor.
Our Take
Splitting up Nick and Pete sounds like a gimmick, but it actually gives Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell some fun courtroom sparring as they face off against each other. The murder case itself is thin and the resolution comes too easily, though. A middling hour saved by the leads’ chemistry, fine for casual viewers but nothing to seek out.
