Rebecca's (Kate Walsh) rocker ex-husband Keith (guest star Jim Jefferies) re-appears in her life to let her know of the death of an old friend.

Tedward (Tone Bell) sees the courtroom as the perfect way to meet recently single women, but realizes he has gone too far when a convict's girlfriend thinks he's Mr. Right.

Over Christmas, Rebecca tries the case of Face Mask Mom, a mother who tackled a PeeWee football player.
