Cleaver's affair with the Premier proves costly when her husband, Attorney-General Cal McGregor begins a campaign of harassment against him. David Potter sues him for defamation, and, after the clown punch-up at Max's birthday party, he's persona non grata to Barney as well. Cleaver is now defending an innocent ex-school teacher whom Cal is determined to prosecute, and a slimy corporate thief who Cal wants to set free.
