Attorney Ted Black and partner Stuart Lane are about to merge with a firm run by Ted's ex. Associates Rick and Erica vie for positions in the firm, but when the merger hits a snag, Ted, a former prosecutor, must step into a role he holds in contempt.

Ted needs Amanda's help with a new prosecutor in Lester's murder trial. Erica squares off against Rick to stop him from poaching a client. Stuart and Samantha argue over Rick's position.

The relationships at the two firms are complicated as Ted and Samantha join forces to take down Rosalyn's former boss. Erica and Rick work against each other as they finalize Dylan Pryor's deal. Stuart recruits Kevin for a special task in New York.
