A scientist is charged with burning down her lab. Peter's appeal has begun.
Tropes
- Distinction Without a Difference: Grace denies googling her dad; she has him on google alert.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Kalinda suggests that Alicia needs a drink, and she agrees.
- I Never Said It Was Poison: Walt knew that the fuse took three minutes, yet no one told him.
- The Perry Mason Method: Off of a realization from Alicia and Cary, Diane proves their client is innocent of the arson by fingering one of their own witnesses on the stand: Walt, a blowhard with a crush on her who set the fire to keep her from returning to Cambridge.
- Spontaneous Combustion: The arson expert says during witness prep that this can happen to butane, which there is a lot of in a laboratory. This is immediately laughed off Will, since flammable materials are kept locked up for exactly that reason and their client's work didn't involve burners.
