Billy has to go to great lengths to secure his physical evidence's safety and preserve his witnesses' credibility. This episode is rooted in violence and Cooperman demands to meet with Billy. There are also more layers in this episode. The FBI becomes involved and Billy is nearly killed. His wife is caught with her lover by their daughter after she has been to see Billy?
The big meeting with Cooperman and Billy is filled with tension and fraught with mystery. Internally, there is dysfunction within his firm because Cooperman's paranoia is off the charts. No one can tell him anything. Billy has used Brittany and the others and they are really hurting. They are receiving nothing for this case and don't know if anything will ever come from the case. Plus, it is clear they are all in danger. They begin extorting the cop that beat Billy up. It appears that no matter what, no one comes out very well. (I really liked this episode 5*)
