Complete story — includes the ending

Kim and Grayson represent an erotic romance novel writer who claims a large publishing syndicate plagiarized her online novel. Kim's water breaks during the trial, and she has to present her closing arguments via webcam from a hospital bed while she is in labor. Jane represents a groom-to-be who is arrested at his bachelor party for breaking a rarely enforced "impersonating an American citizen" law while returning across the border from Mexico. A handsome lawyer at the San Diego courthouse where the trial is held asks Jane to dinner and kisses her, but he really wants to second chair her case so he can grandstand against the law. Kim has a baby boy. Jane proclaims her love for Grayson to Stacy and Teri, who both tell Jane she should waste no time in letting Grayson know. But Jane later sees Grayson kissing Nicole, and walks away. Meanwhile, an accountant who had been asking questions around the firm, presumably for an insurance assessment, reveals his true purpose to Owen and Kim: Parker sent him because he wants to put the firm up for sale.
