While the first season of this series did not have a lot of court room trial time, there is getting to be more as the focus shifts here. This episode manages to skirt the issue of date rape and then ignore it in the trial result. This creates a happy ending for the firm in the process.
The strength of this script is the boiling of the inner feelings of the firm as they face off with each other in court. The emotions run so high there is even a free for all brawl in the unisex bathroom. Luckily the jury never has to come in on the case itself as the courtroom crackles with all kinds of antics.
This was done during the era of date rape which was a serious issue. In this case, it appears that it is at best a weak case, and at most outrageously lost in the brawls. This does really allow more character development because up until this point, the show is too Ally centered. In this one, she is not quite as far out there as in some episodes as she has to take a stand on some of her issues in court.
