The Whole Truth

Two stories overlap in this episode. Harry and Adam are defending their client Colin Danes, who is accused of raping and killing Sarah Trassino. When the jury finds the defendant not-guilty, Brother Lucas Treassino (Jon Bernthal) and Father Arthur Trassino (Peter Onorati) hold the court hostage and demand an immediate, new trial at gun-point. Meanwhile, the brother of a dying patient is told federal law prohibits him from donating blood because he is gay. This evokes a reaction that involves Cassie and Oliver pleading their case in hopes of obtaining an injunction that will allow their client to help save his brother's life.

Harry teams up with Ollie to defend a teenage girl known at school for her scathing blog, the "Snark Queen," who cruelly outs a closeted lesbian classmate who shortly after commits suicide. A.D.A Kim Mendelsohn puts Harry and Ollie on the defensive by charging the accused cyberbully with negligent homicide. Back at the office, Adam takes Tommy to court for accepting a life insurance policy as payment from a now-deceased cancer patient.
