Return to Sender
- In the C-plot, Harry Svensson and Phil Stirling wrangle while drawing up an increasingly neurotic pre-nup agreement for a pair of self-absorbed influencers, including clauses like "partner will not wear a lip gloss that negatively contrasts with my wardrobe" and "lighting schemes will be subject to approval by both parties". After much prompting and prodding by both Harry and Phil, the pre-nup becomes so unwieldy that both parties decide to just dispose of it completely. Later, at the bar, Harry and Phil celebrate, because they both figured that their moronic clients will be divorced within a year, and without a pre-nup in place, they're now looking at an extremely messy divorce - which would be extremely lucrative for both Harry and Phil.
- When one of the clients asks if it's okay for her to tag Harry in her social media posts, Harry bluntly says no... before the client mentions that she has thousands of followers with an absurdly high median income.

Family History
- In the B-plot, Daniel's former client Kyle tries to blackmail him, threatening to file an ethics complaint against him alleging that he manipulated Kyle into giving up Craig unless Danny gives him an absurdly specific ransom. Much to Abby's annoyance, she's roped into bailing Danny out because his lack of social skills keeps making the situation worse.
- Throughout the episode, Daniel keeps comparing dog ownership to parenthood, earning him death glares from Abby and Jerri, who are both dealing with actual family issues.
- In the C-plot, Harry and Chip Crombie have to work together to execute a ridiculously baroque clause in a will governing the opening of a safe, and Cecil is brought along for the ride. The will stipulates that the neither of the will's two beneficiaries may be present for the opening of the safe, and everyone assumes that it's because the safe's late owner was storing a massive fortune that he was trying to keep out of the hands of his two sons. It turns out that the safe's actual contents are... porn. Really, really old porn. Which Harry and Chip are required to catalog, with Cecil in the awkward position of having to write down titles like "Roughing It in the Bush".
Acting Out
- Cecil spends the entire episode fangirling over the client of the week, Charisma Singhal, who happens to be the star of his favorite TV show.
- After spending the whole episode being insufferable about his upcoming interview with a British reporter, Daniel goes on-screen... with a pug filter on his face. Because Abigail let Nico use his computer and Nico forgot to remove the filter. When Harry bawls him out for making an ass of himself on live television, Danny rightly insists that it was Nico's fault, causing Harry to chide him for trying to pin the blame on his nephew.
All Happy Families
- Lucy hires Abigail to represent her in her petition for a role in her new daughter Harmony's life, because Abigail is a mother and therefore knows what it's like to be kept from her children. When Daniel tries to claim he has some idea what it's like because he has a dog, Lucy just stares at him for a second before telling him he really needs to stop bringing that up.
Season 3
What Came First?
- Daniel tells Lucy that he and Martina pinky-swore that they wouldn't have sex before she had a chance to end things with her current boyfriend. They quickly broke that promise, but then pinky-swore that they'd stop. They broke that promise, too. Danny confides that they're on their fourth pinky-promise.
- The case of the week is being judged by Judge Julius "Deer-in-Headlights" Deerchild, who is apparently notorious for being indecisive. He's introduced struggling to decide which breakfast muffin to take at the court's cafeteria.
- Lucy is stuck with a narcissistic middle-aged woman who hired her for grief counseling... over a cat. That's been dead for ten years. After enduring her constant crying for weeks, Lucy finally snaps and tells her to just get over it already. Against all odds, the client actually returns the next week.
- After Abigail proposes having the client-of-the-week implant a frozen embryo into herself to keep her ex-husband from getting it, Harry chides her for proposing such a thing, as the client is almost fifty and there are a lot of health risks entailed by a pregnancy that late in life. He does, however, praise her for creative thinking, as her proposal means the case is extended and the firm gets more billable hours.
- Pam, one of the more self-absorbed members of Abby and Jerri's AA group, decides to celebrate her third straight year of sobriety with a cake with her face photo-printed on it.
A River In Egypt
- Among the gifts that Nina brings home from her trip is a spicy pepper for Cecil... who immediately pops it in his mouth. He spends the rest of the episode recovering from the resultant stomach distress.
- Daniel tries to befriend Martina's boyfriend Quinn so that he feels less guilty about seeing her behind Quinn's back. He's horrified to discover that Quinn recognizes him from the notorious pug interview.
- Abby tries to chase down a prosecutor for help in prosecuting Michelle Fischer. After she barely keeps up with him, he gives her two pieces of advice: Tell her client to cut his losses, and switch to flat shoes.
Play It Straight
- Abby can barely keep a straight face at the realization all of supposedly stud movie star Zander's cheesy lines are his pathetic attempt to hide how he's really gay.
- Zander is suing an ex who broke an NDA by writing a thinly-veiled play about them. As he rants about what he's going to do, he and Abby realize the guy is writing every word down to put it into his play.
- After Abby exits with one of her usual sardonic lines, Daniel asks, "Would anyone watch a revenge play about her?" Everyone in the room raises their hands.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
- After managing to salvage the Gardiners' case and keep Rory in a group home, Abby brings him a fruit basket packed with his favorite fruits. He tells her that it's too late in the day for fruit; he doesn't eat fruit at night, only in the afternoon.
- Abigail tells Jerri that she's finally made her peace with Frank dating a younger woman and introducing her to their kids. When Jerri asks if this is because Abby has finally taken her advice about letting go of the past to heart, Abby responds that she's taking solace in the knowledge that Sofia will almost certainly eat the poor woman alive.
The Chip Hits the Fan
- After Crombie has a heart attack in the middle of berating Abigail in his chambers, Abby realizes that she's going to have to perform CPR on him to keep him alive until the paramedics come.
- The gang are baffled as to just how in the world Crombie has two women fighting over him.
- Daniel thinks he's got a great case with a couple fighting for custody of their daughter's granddaughter, who they said "did so much damage" to the girl. In a talk, it slowly sinks into Daniel that these two are equating child abuse to feeding the girl canned soup and cereal, letting her watch too much TV, and drawing with markers. Daniels' realization that he's defending the wrong side is a lovely Oh, Crap! moment.
- As Veronica and Jeanie compare notes, they find out that Chip wrote them the same poems. Including the same ode to their genitalia, which included an attempt to rhyme "vagina" with "fine-a".
- The sheer gleeful smiles all three women have as they tell a recovering Chip both wives are leaving him and his days as a judge are over.
- It's petty and juvenile but still hilarious how Abby's idea of messing with her ex's new girlfriend is...to arrange all her garden gnomes in sexual positions on her front steps. In a heart pattern no less.
Bass Fishing
- Zina relates how, as a child, Daniel found out about a water-gun fight that was being planned in his neighborhood and, being a pacifist, he insisted on trying to broker a peace deal between the two teams... and got soaked for his troubles. Abigail is very amused by this.
Where There's a Will
- A client is being sued by his father for allegedly stealing his customers and restaurant ideas, the next scene features Harry and Daniel staring in disbelief at the father's restaurant named Zeus' Hideaway, and the son's restaurant, located next door and named Lil Zeus' Hideaway and a slightly different color pattern.
The Chickens Come Home to Roost

- Abby discovers her new client had her kids Switched at Birth with someone else. It's obvious when the woman's "daughter" is a studious, dark-haired thin woman while her mother is a heavier blonde with a crass attitude. She and Abby track down one of the other mothers, with Abby warning the client to "take it slow." The other mother is just like the other daughter from hair to glasses while her "daughter" is the spitting image of the client in looks and attitude, causing her to gush "I'm your mom" on the spot to the confused pair.
- Harry handles an old friend who's about to marry the man she's already divorced three times. The prenup agreements have Harry and Sterling trying to put in penalties for everything from the husband's mother staying too long to one peeing in the other's rose bushes. Harry finally has enough to snap that if the two are already prepared for a split, they shouldn't get married at all, leading them both to leave.Sterling: I was gonna take the family to Maui with the spoils of their next divorce.
