E makes McGee exchange those scrubs for a judge’s robe, then exchange that robe for a bellhop’s jacket for this trail by fire. E has jury duty this week--so enjoy a re-run of Make Me Watch: Justice Watch, while McGee bolts from case to case sustaining on blueberry grits alone, and both slip out of the courtroom before the biological clock strikes twelve.

E makes McGee take a skip across the sea to the house of “dub-C”. McGee rebukes toxicity in this gothic matrimony. E foolishly claims to have supreme taste, and they both get curious about the revealing lace-front dress with the spot.
