Jessica agrees to help clear a former research assistant of killing her new employer, despite the fact that the woman is a pathological liar.

!!Tropes:

* AmoralAttorney: DA Bruce Hastings is [[spoiler: actually the perp and is only]] fervently pursuing a plea bargain for Dana Ballard [[so he can effectively pin the murder on her]].
* CompulsiveLiar: Dana Ballard, which make it difficult for her lawyer or Jessica to get the truth from her.
* CoolOldLady: Aside from Jessica herself, there's also the techie and resourceful Wanda Polaski, Vincent's grandmother.
* CrusadingLawyer: Vincent Polaski may be socially awkward and not as suave as other lawyers, but his heart is in the right place, even if the case seems hopeless.
* BehindTheBlack: The actual killer was hiding behind Dana and it was [[spoiler: he]] whom the victim Ethan Stevens is reacting to, but we couldn't see him until TheReveal later.
* BluffingTheMurderer: Despite having sufficient proof that [[spoiler: Bruce Hastings]] is the secret insider and partner of Stevens, there's actually no proof yet that he's the killer. Thus, Jessica [[EngineeredPublicConfession coaxes a confession]] out of him by having Vincent pretend to want to blackmail him.
