Boston Legal - Episode 5.03 - Dances With Wolves
ByThe ep starts out with a bang—literally—when Denny and Jerry are mugged in the parking lot at night. They’re in the middle of a discussion where Jerry is asking Denny to support him for partner this year and Denny is explaining to Jerry that being partner isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. (So I guess Jerry was given a clean slate when he was rehired! Cool.) An African-American man steps out of the shadows and pulls a gun on our boys. Jerry starts to turn over his watch and wallet. Denny – as only Denny can – points out that it’s going to look really bad for a black man to shoot a white big shot just as we’re trying to get a African American elected president. Somehow the guy doesn’t find this argument convincing. So Denny reaches for his watch, reaches for his wallet and—do you see where I’m going with this?—reaches for a gun and shoots the guy in a knee and both feet.
The next day, as Shirley and Alan are asking him if he’s okay two policemen come to Denny’s office to arrest him because he was carrying a concealed weapon. Heh heh. In pure Denny style, he was actually carrying multiple concealed weapons. They removed 3 from him the night of the mugging and 5 the day of the arrest.
Sack defends Denny in the courtroom of the eternally shocked Judge Brown.
Alan is busy with his own case. It seems that his (and Jerry’s) former sex surrogate/counselor Joanna is being sued by her ex-husband for custody of their daughter (age of daughter isn’t clear, but appears to be a pre-teen). Evidently (ex) hubby is very uncomfortable with his daughter growing into some very impressionable years with a mother who sometimes has sex for a living. Ex hubby is represented by our cynical friend, Emma Path.
They put the daughter on the stand, and she’s a pretty cool kid. Judge Stern, who really lives up to her name, is pretty good at keeping Alan in his place and wiping the smirk off his wise-cracking face. I can’t wait to see this chick. Also, in a conversation between Alan and Joanne while they’re waiting to go into court, Joanna tells Alan that the contempt she heard earlier in his voice directed at Emma wasn’t just contempt for another lawyer. It was contempt for a woman. She believes a part of Alan actually hates women. Needless to say, Alan takes umbrage. I’m pretty sure we can expect this to come up on the balcony.
