Claire, Brad, and Denise are in the lobby when Jeffrey leaves. Shirley is there, too, sternly saying not to laugh. As Jeffrey says his final goodbyes, he mentions he will still be in Boston. Brad is gracious enough to shake hands, and Claire gets a kiss on the cheek from Jeffrey, since she is the one he will miss most of all.

I wondered if someone would leave after Denise announced the results of the paternity test. I just thought it might be Brad. I'm glad Jeffrey questioned Denise directly. She never showed Brad any paperwork, which makes me question whether she told Brad the truth.

Hopefully, the powers-that-be will see fit to bring Craig Bierko back sometime. He really is a talented actor, and seeing both Alan and Brad on edge while trying to deal with Jeffrey's verbal banter added new dimensions to this show.

Back in Alan's lair, his legal expertise is needed after Denny Crane (William Shatner) is arrested for illegally trying to ship human fat overseas. It's not a bad concept, but DA Ginsberg (Currie Graham) has always had it in for the firm. He will do everything he can to make the charges stick. Going up against Alan makes him try even harder to win.

In a rare moment of reality, Alan asks Denny if the founding partner considered the possibility of losing. Denny had, but he is not trying the case. Enough common sense prevailed for Denny to seek help. Naturally, Alan gets the not-guilty verdict.

This had to have been the jury foreman's first time in court. Why else would he nearly forget to read the verdict? It took a glance from the judge (Howard Hesseman) to get things straightened out.

Clarence gets off to a wobbly start in his own trial, but stroking Clarice's wig helps considerably. He is not stupid enough to wear it, but tucks it in his briefcase. Paul is surprised at how well the testimony goes, and suggests that Clarence handle the closing. He might have handled it himself, except Bethany points out he doesn't have 'pop'.

Leave it to Bethany! I might have been a bit more delicate, but Paul is better at management than persuasion. This gives Gary Anthony Williams a chance to shine, and he pulls it off with quiet flair.

The verdict is 'not guilty by reason of insanity'. Paul and Bethany are pleased at Clarence's success, and I have a feeling he might be in court more often. Perhaps Brad and Alan can give him a few more pointers.
