Lori Colson : Your Honor, if we wanted to argue Insanity, we simply could have plead it. Judge Phillip Stevens : Except you don't want to argue it, Counsel. You want to argue Not Guilty and have Insanity as a fall-back. Two defenses for the price of one. Lori Colson : I'm sure you'll properly instruct against Insanity. Judge Phillip Stevens : Yes. And I'm sure the Jury will listen.

And Alan hates his guts. He makes a comparison between him and one of those clown dolls that you hit and it comes back up. Palmer is representing to credit card company who is her debtor. How Alan attacks Palmer is just awesome.

Plus, it starts off their little war, which is so much fun to watch. It comes back in this episode, when Denny and several other people in the firm are taken hostage by a man who believes that the man who was charged but acquitted for murdering his mother was guilty. So, they replay the case, with several hostages acting as the jury.

You also learn about the turbulent relationship he had with his father and how that shaped him as a lawyer. Meanwhile, Alan is in jail after being held in contempt, when defending a prostitute he knows and the senator she was with. Shirley defends her, and watching the kid beat the hell out of everyone there with her wit and intellect is just great.

Granted, She annoys the hell out of Shirley, but it is so fun to watch. Later, she is assisting Alan and Denny in their mission to join the military. I was kind of hoping that the kid would become something of a protegee to Alan, which would have worked, considering his revelation that he only saw women as sexual objects. It would have given him a new perspective and a new experience. Still, awesome episode and it was far too brief. Brotherly Love Season 3 Another character who I thought was so fun and wished there had been more of him was Frankie Cox.
