Plot: Desmond (Chris Colfer) calls Andrea (Caroline Dhavernas) to inform her on the Wilson situation. Speaking of Wilson (Brian d’Arcy James), he is still crouched under his desk, afraid of Mel Gibson. Desmond asks Andrea about Bob, but she doesn’t give him good news. When Desmond announces it to Wilson, it brings him down even more. Andrea is in her car with Miranda (Lesley Manville) and they are discussing a way to help Bob with his legal problem. Miranda says it wasn’t nice when she asked Bob if really did it. Sure, he looks unclean and desperate, but as Andrea pointed out, he always looks like that, but that doesn’t make him a killer. Although she agrees it could be a interest-killer in a woman, and that’s why he’s still single after all those years. Andrea is mad at Miranda for saying this when Bob is at a bad place and she says they should help him, they always had his back and now is not different. Andrea remembers him saying he doesn’t have a lawyer, so they should start looking for one. Miranda says she had this covered. Andrea pulls over in the agency’s parking lot.

When they enter the agency, they are met by Desmond, who tells them what happened with Wilson. Miranda heads straight to her office to take care of this lawyer thing. Andrea crouches down at Wilson’s level and asks him what’s wrong. He says he screwed the meeting and he pissed off Mel Gibson and he’s so ashamed that he won’t come out from under his desk. She asks him if he really is afraid of Mel Gibson, because that’s what Desmond said earlier. He says he might be a little. Andrea grabs him by the arm and makes him stand up, but he hits his head on the way up. Wilson claims he can’t do anything right and Andrea says there are worst things in the world and besides, Mel Gibson is hard to manage. It is quite late now and they decide to head home for the night and get a good night sleep. They say goodbye to Miranda and Andrea asks her how the lawyer thing is going and she says it’s going fine. She didn’t do anything for Bob, though, she’s doing a quiz on the Internet to find out which kind of apple she is. 

A couple of minutes later, the Jones’ offices are in the dark except from the light coming from Miranda’s office. She completed her quiz and found out she is a pink lady. She pats herself on the back, “at least it has lady in it”, she says. She suddenly remembers she wants to do her daily good action and call a lawyer for Bob. She takes a huge binder from her desk and flips the pages. She takes a deep breath, but she can’t do it. She heads to the bathroom and gives herself a little pep talk. She boosts her confidence a little and runs back in her office and dials a number. On the other end is Martin Freeman (Martin Freeman). She presents herself and she says he blew her mind away that time they had a mock trial and she wants to know if he would perhaps use his talents to help them once again. Their friend is accused of murder and he could really use his help. Martin sighs and reminds her once again that he’s not a real lawyer and he finds it odd and quite surprising that she isn’t able to tell the difference, given her job. He hangs up and she says he was rude. She says she’s now out of ideas. She grabs a pocket book from her purse and flips the pages to the current date. She writes that she tried to get Bob a lawyer and puts a little star next to it. She pats herself in the back and she says she’s heading into the right direction.

The next day, Andrea arrives at the same time as Wilson at the agency and she asks him if he feels better today. He says it depends on if he will be a spectacular failure again, but she says Bob didn’t have anything on schedule today, so he should be alright. They are surprised to see Miranda in the office so early. She says she has some bad news for them and they both think something happened to Bob. She says she hasn’t been able to secure the services of the lawyer she was thinking about. Martin Freeman was rude to her. Andrea can’t believe it, she reminds her once again that he is not a real lawyer. She suddenly remembers something and she grabs Miranda and leave. They’re going to find Bob a lawyer.

Wilson is alone in the office when he hears someone knocking. He opens the door to Kristen Bell (Kristen Bell) and she says she is here to meet with Andrea. Wilson says she had an emergency and she had to leave, so she could come back later. Kristen asks him if he’s an agent and Wilson laughs it off. He says they like to think he is, but he’s not really good at his job. She asks him if he could just show her the contract she was supposed to sign and she’ll just sign it and leave. He says he could do that and he heads over to Andrea’s desk and grabs the contract. She signs on the dotted line and she thanks him before leaving. As soon as she’s out, Kristen calls Andrea and she says she did it. Andrea thanks her for the favor and hangs up. Wilson, jumps in the air in his office, he finally did it, he really believes he’s got what it takes to be an agent, a real moral victory.

Miranda and Andrea are at the courthouse and meet with a lawyer (John Glover). Andrea asks if he remembers them and he says he does. She was the crazy woman who represented herself and beat him and made him a laughingstock amongst his colleagues. Andrea says it’s a weird way to put it, but it is who they are. She asks him if he wants to get his reputation back and he says he would be interested. She says they have a murder case that is a slam dunk for a win and he says he’s usually a prosecutor and he’ll see what he can do. Miranda thanks him, but he says he only told them he would think about it.

Wilson, still thrilled that he did his first act as an agent without screwing everything, turns around and he’s surprised to see an old foe, Melissa Hao (Michelle Yeoh). He asks her what a skank like her is doing here and she says he better be nice with her, because she might know how to get their friend out of jail.
