Plot

Peter and Jared help a widow (Anne Ramsay) retain the body of her esteemed late husband from being awkwardly immortalized as a dancer in a human body exhibit. When a stalker begins harassing Stanton Infeld, Karp thinks it may be an old client just released from prison and out for revenge. Hanna runs into an old college friend (Boris Kodjoe) and sparks an old romance.—Anonymous

Peter and Jared are hired by new widow Martha Strauss to contest her husband and lab partner's last will not to be buried but have his corpse plastic-preserved as a dancing inhibit in the company's traveling exhibition. Their strategy relied on the closest loved-one's right to decide, but the opponent stages a Brazilian dancer as his secret, passionate lover for nearly a year. When Stanton receives a credible death threat, Damien throws everything at ex-con Samuel Jeffers, who meanwhile graduated as lawyer and denies seeking revenge for being convicted as Stanton's lawyer for a robbery and kidnapping, while the then victim lies suspiciously. Peter and Jared find a court use for Hanna's campus ex, court artist Nolan Tate.—KGF Vissers

Franklin and Bash represent Martha Strauss, who objects to her late husband and research lab partner's body being plastinated by the exhibition he donated it to, as the pose is undignified. However her right as closest person is challenged by the Brazilian dance instructor who was his lover, so an artistic posthumous ploy is the last ditch. Damien Karp pulls all the stop, even illegal, against losing client Samuel Jeffers whom they assume the anonymous threats sender, having studied law while serving time for bank robbery, but that story doesn't fit and the tables are turned.—KGF Vissers

Open with Infeld receiving what looks like a Buddha head in the mail. The eyes are blackened and there are red lines painted down the face.

The guys handle the will for a recently widowed microbiologist named Martha Rheem-Strauss. She wants to check up on his body being donated to something called Body View.

Damien thinks an enemy is coming after Infeld and wants to call the police. Infeld tells him he has it handled.

Body View turns out to be a place that uses dead bodies and turns them into a type of mannequin used for art. When they learn Martha's husband, a former marine microbiologist, will have his body posed into some kind of modern dance, the widow balks.

Damien brings Infeld a list of possible enemies. A bank robber Infeld unsuccessfully defended named Samuel Jeffers has just been released. When Jeffers' guilty verdict was read Infeld offers him a few words of Buddhist wisdom.

At a settlement hearing Body View's lawyer shows a statement from Dr. Strauss that gave specific instructions. Martha doesn't seem to care and asks for his body back. The judge placed an injunction on the body, preventing it from being converted by Body View until the matter is discussed in court.

The guys and Pindar look for legal precedent to have Dr. Strauss' finals wishes overturned. The find several cases where it seems the final say usually goes with the closing living relative.

Damien pays Jeffers a visit and tells him to stop harassing Infeld. He doesn't seem interested.

Hanna runs into a courtroom sketch artist named Nolan she dated in college and is trying to avoid. He asks her out, but she thinks dating men who are much less successful never works out.

Infeld and Damien bring in the woman Jeffers took hostage during his crime. She says she hasn't heard from him and isn't interested in helping them. Damien wants more intel on Jeffers. Damien asks Carmen to look into Jeffers for him.

On cross-examination Martha admits she didn't know her husband took dance lessons seven days a week. A dance instructor stands up and says she knows what his final wishes were. She also says the two of them were in love.

Martha admits her husband had occasional affairs, but she doesn't think it would have lasted. In the hall the guys wonder if maybe Martha was wrong and her husband was about to move on.

During a hearing to acquire a restraining order against Jeffers, the ex-con turns things around and kicks Damien's butt in court. Jeffers ends up getting a restraining order on Damien and Infeld. Afterward Infeld wonders if he might now have given Jeffers his best defense.

Franklin shows the dance instructor receipts indicating that Dr. Strauss would go from hobby to hobby throughout his life, never sticking with anything more than a year. His dance lessons only lasted nine months and the instructor has to admit he had stopped paying for lessons.

Hanna stops Nolan and tells him her schedule has freed up.

Body View puts a divorce attorney on the stand. He testifies that Dr. Strauss had looked into filing for divorce. The judge gives the dance instructor final say and she goes with the Body View option.

On their date Hanna learns that Nolan is actually a highly paid artist who chooses to do courtroom sketches because he finds it interesting. They start to fool around and he wonders if it's because she knows he's rich.

Jeffers is planning an anti-harassment that include a hate crime component since he's 1/8 Native American. Carmen tells Damien she'll see what she can do.

The next morning Nolan recalls Hanna's talents as an artist. He thinks she's forsaken her talent.

While looking through her husband's estate the guys learn that he had been making payments on a family burial plot for 14 years. While it seems to be too late, the guys perk up when Hanna mentions that a statue (what Dr. Strauss's body now is) is art. They run to catch Martha and ask whether she'd like his body back even though it's already been converted by Body View. First she'll have to divorce him.

The guys see the judge at his gym and he recognizes her divorce of Dr. Strauss. Now that the divorce is final, his body should go to Martha as he left her their art collection and he qualifies as a work of art.

While Carmen watches Jeffers somebody else throws a bonsai plant through Infeld's window. Damien was going after the wrong guy.

In court Damien admits that the whole thing with Jeffers was a huge misunderstanding. Things starting getting worse for Damien and Infeld asks for five minutes alone with Jeffers.

In the hall Infeld apologizes and asks Jeffers not to press charges against his nephew. Jeffers actually tells Infeld he did a great job representing him, keeping him to a five year sentence. Also he was inspired to get his education by Infeld. He tells Infeld he tried to apologize to the teller he took hostage, but she wanted no part of it. They wonder why she would have lied about that earlier and guess she's the one setting them up.

The Body View puts a customs agent who specializes in shipping on the stand. He says bodies like Dr. Strauss' do not ship as art.

Damien and Jeffers pay the teller a visit. He apologizes and Infeld surfaces from behind and says he's a victim himself and tells her about the importance of an apology for all parties. She says "I'm sorry."

Nolan is put on the stand. He says art is an intentional arrangement of things in order to elicit an emotional reaction. Franklin brings a stuffed bear into the courtroom. Nolan says he thinks taxidermy has long been considered art, then says he thinks a case like Dr. Strauss' body would qualify.

The judge rules that while he thinks the dance instructor had a genuine relationship with Dr. Strauss, he thinks the body does qualify as art and therefore belongs to Martha.

Infeld tells Damien to settle down in the future.
