Razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright hires her talented but scruffy, aimless son, Todd, as her law firm's in-house investigator

When Margaret is too sick to work on the final day of an important negotiation, Todd must step in and impersonate a lawyer while Margaret uses her investigative skills. Also, Margaret and Gus finally share their first kiss.

Margaret and Todd tackle a case involving a murder on live local morning news and must rethink their working relationship after Todd decides to open his own PI business.

While Margaret tries to save her struggling law firm by taking on a case involving a large cosmetics company with deep pockets, Todd is determined to crack an important FBI investigation that will seal the fate of Crest, Folding & Wright, one way or another.
