  Episode Summary  
Forced by a client to put Denny Crane on the case, Shirley Schmidt reluctantly enlists his help to defend a Democratic Congressman being sued for not keeping a campaign promise to pass a ban on assault weapons. The right-wing Crane is an unlikely defender from the start, but Schmidt really wonders if she made the right decision when he goes missing the day of his closing. Meanwhile, Alan Shore, still reeling from Tara's exit, focuses on defending Catherine Piper, accused of murdering his client, Bernard Ferrion. And Reverend Diddum, Denise Bauer's ex-husband's lawyer, threatens to report Sara Holt and Garret Wells to their superiors for their ruse to get him to drastically reduce his client's alimony -- but he'll forget the whole matter if Sara gives in to a sexually perverse request.

  Episode Notes  
Originally supposed to air in Season 1. Scenes with the Season 2 cast were spliced into the episode to make it feel like it was never out of place.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Congressman Jacobs: Raymond Jacobs, you handled my first divorce fifteen years ago. My wife's name was Lois.
Denny: I remember.
Congressman Jacobs: Why wouldn't you. You slept with her.
Denny: Only after the divorce was final.
 
Denny: When God strips you of your talent, he should at least have the decency to strip away the memory of having had it.
 
Denny: I heard about Tara. I feel your hurt.
Alan: What's most upsetting, Denny, is I don't hurt.
Denny: So, I don't have to hug you and tell ya i'm there for ya and all that crap.
Alan: We can skip it.
 
Alan: Catherine, may I ask why would you seek to befriend this man?
Catherine: Well, I felt at his core, he wasn't evil. I also thought I could help him by introducing him to Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Alan: Was he open to that?
Catherine: Not terribly, he thought it would make him look like a bad Jew.
