Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Two separates incidents of victims overdosing on epinephrine prompt Nick and Pete to sue a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company for faulty packaging. Meanwhile, Lisa has a secret affair with ADA Ward while contemplating an intriguing job offer.

Our Take

The pharma case gives Jim Belushi a chance to do his gruff-outrage thing, and the courtroom scenes have some real bite even if the corporate villain is cartoonishly evil. The Lisa subplot drags, mostly because the affair with ADA Ward never feels as urgent as the show wants it to. A decent hour, nothing more.
