Elizabeth believes her client is innocent in the murder of a child, and she clashes with her partner, Russell, over the best way to prove it.

Elizabeth is wary of her client, an accused murderer who claims he can communicate with the dead, but she's convinced of his abilities after he shares information about her missing son.

Russell and Chester circle the wagons when Elizabeth comes under fire from Zach Williams after he mounts a grand-jury investigation of her defense of Ethan Foster. Meanwhile, Molly prepares for her first case, and a faculty event exposes Matt and Elizabeth's marital problems.
