Plot Overview

Adam badgers Mike about giving up on the investigation into Eric Barrington's loan shark activity. Wearily, Mike insists that Barrington is legit... at least the ledger suggests he is. Adam cannot be swayed, reminding Mike that Ron overheard someone calling Barrington "doctor". Mike counters that Barrington is indeed a doctor; he has a PHD in philosophy. Despite Mike's unwavering position, Adam still isn't convinced. Liz Prentiss arrives for a private consultation with Mike. Liz tells Mike that she spoke with Ruth Tuttle, who's now living in Los Angeles. Liz says that Ruth received a postcard from Steve, postmarked Mexico. Since Steve obviously doesn't intend to ever return, Liz wants a divorce. Mike informs Liz that Steve must be gone for three years before she can divorce on grounds of desertion, and he suggests she file separation papers instead. Liz steadfastly refuses, and asks about a "quickie divorce"-- the kind of divorce people obtain in places like Reno, Nevada. Mike points out that in order to get those, a person has to establish residency first. Liz continues to badger him about a fast divorce. Mike, frustrated and distracted by the situation with Laurie, snaps at Liz, suggesting that she hire Adam or another attorney, because he doesn't have time to pamper her. In tears, Liz runs out of the office and bumps into Vic Lamont, the assistant DA who prosecuted Liz's step-mother Julie. Vic lends a sympathetic ear to Liz, offering to track down Steve for her so that they can work out a consensual divorce. Vic asks Liz out to dinner, admitting that he wanted to see her for a long time. When Liz wonders if she should accept advice from another attorney, Vic reveals that he's thinking about asking Mike Karr for a job in private practice. Adam comments on Mike's weary appearance, saying that Mike looks like the world has come to an end. Adam reminds Mike about his wonderful wife and daughter. Jean enters and tells Mike that a friend of Laurie called while Mike was with Liz. Mike becomes enraged, screaming that Jean was stupid to hold a call about Laurie. Adam is stunned by Mike's rage.
