Alica gets another case that reflects on her own situation when Will assigns her to help Stern's (of Stern, Lockhart and Gardner) daughter out of her latest legal problem. The daughter and her husband are orthodox jews sued by a woman who slipped and fell on an eruv wire that the couple could not repair because it fell on the sabbath. Alicia is forced to work with a rough-and-tumble street lawyer type who is coincidentally adorable and smart enough to fall at least half in love with our heroine. It turns out he's been lying about being a lawyer, he never passed the bar, and may or may not have lied to her about Will playing mean lawyer tricks. It also turns out Daughter Stern has been lying to her husband and using her cell phone on the sabbath. When Alicia tells the husband to forgive his wife, he asks Alicia if she's forgiven Peter. This carries through to when the adorable street non-lawyer hits on Alicia and she stops him because of her marriage. Even though, as the non-lawyer points out, Peter cheated on her. On the home front, Zach goes on a heartbreaking journey to find the woman in the crack-smoking photo and gets caught talking to a hooker by his nosy grandma. When Alicia confronts him about it he lies to her but she suspects something. On the other-exciting-things front, Will sees Alicia and the non-lawyer close-talking and gets visibly, boyishly bummed out. Also Kalinda continues to kick ass and looks good in satin.
