Meanwhile, Caroline fears her prospects of becoming a Queen's Counsel are dubious, and wonders how much to let the jury know about a particularly unappealing client.

Caroline is asked to give a lecture to the female bar association, but they are less than pleased by what she has to say. Liam and Danielle have contrasting first days in court, and Ashley has a bad day all around.
