When Al Giardello attempts to convince the judge (who is an old friend) to reverse his decision, the judge instead convinces Gee that too many people are in Eleanor's corner, and somebody has to speak for the victim.

Meanwhile, Falsone and Stivers keep investigating and gradually convince Danvers and Giardello -- both of whom were sympathetic to Eleanor -- that she is manipulating the law and thus damaging the credibility of Battered Wife Syndrome.
