Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
Alan Shore travels to Texas with Chelina Hall to make a last ditch appeal for death row inmate Zeke Borns, a man with diminished mental capacity who was convicted of a crime he does not even remember committing. Meanwhile, Denny Crane and Shirley Schmidt defend Miriam Watson (guest star Shelley Long), a prim and proper businesswoman who is charged with engaging in sexual conduct for a fee, and Lori Colson, fed up with Denny's offensive behavior, approaches Schmidt and Lewiston to lodge an official complaint.

Episode Notes

Last episode before going on hiatus for the midseason show, Grey's Anatomy. Anatomy did so well in the ratings, the remaining 5 episodes would hold off until next season, with a 27 episode order, a lot like ABC did with The Practice, but then it was a midseason show with not enough time to air all 13 episodes.
