    Touy'gh Case

    First of all, we find that Rebecca has been studying law for five years and passes the bar. Bobby is hit by a car and Ellenor makes a big mistake involving the driver. We meet Bobby's father, a bit of a surprise. But the principle case involves two college students who are involved in the death of a teenage girl. One comes upon the scene and runs. The problem is they each accuse one another. So they are being tried together. This creates a whole kettle of fish.

In this episode, Bobby Donnell talks of being distracted by a girl he knows before being hit by a car. The girl in question is a body double for Calista Flockhart.
