Complete story — includes the ending

Grayson confides in Stacy while in the hospital that he is going to propose to Jane after his near-death experience makes him re-evaluate his life. Jane represents a community who is getting sick from the hot pepper fumes coming from a nearby hot sauce factory, but after getting the factory shut down, things get complicated when it's discovered the hot pepper fumes were not the underlying cause of the sicknesses, landing Jane and the firm in legal trouble, and fighting against the state. However, Paul and Owen help Jane out by procuring evidence against Toxic Control with a temporary permit back in 1984, the judge orders the group to clean up the site, provide fresh water for the residents and reopens the hot sauce factory (per Jane's recommendations). When Kim's father is remarried, her mother complains he used their old wedding ring for his new bride. Owen helps Kim out only to have it revealed that technically her parents were never legally divorced and are each guilty of bigamy—and her mother was wrong about the old wedding ring. When Jane goes to check Grayson out of the hospital, the bullet in his chest causes complications, but despite efforts by the hospital staff to save him, he is pronounced dead.
