* RealAfterAll: In the pilot, the team defend a man accused of hitting his wife on the head several times and dumping her into the pool to drown. The best they can come up with is to argue that the wife slipped on the pool steps and hit her head a few times by accident. It's clear even ''they'' don't believe it and when the jury finds the man not guilty, just accept they helped him get away with murder. But in the final scene, the audience discovers that "impossible" scenario is in fact ''exactly'' what happened.
