Cory is now on the stand, talking about how she gave up her career when she realized that Adam would need round-the-clock care, although she makes it sound like that's still true, which from what we've seen of Adam doesn't appear to be the case at all. Also, I have to tell you, I'm doubting Powell's legal acumen if this is the best he can do. Where's the, you know, case against the company? Anything to do with, you know, the car? Eli gets up and announces that phone records show that after Adam left the bar, she tried him seven times in a twelve-minute period, and points out that that's indicative of their having had more than just a simple fight. The judge overrules an objection from Powell, so Eli presses on and asks why, if he wasn't that drunk and the fight wasn't a big deal, it was so urgent that she get in touch with him. She admits that he was angry and he was on the road in darkness, and -- "He'd had too much to drink?" Eli supplies. Cory admits that that's possible, and Eli looks immediately regretful. But Eli is actually arguing his case, you know? He's providing a logical explanation for the events of the evening beyond the car being defective. What evidence is Powell bringing to the table?

Back at the office, Maggie takes far too many words to cheerily tell Eli that she's tracked down Stanley Lime...kind of. What she's actually discovered, through a call to an HR person at Zyer, is the identity of the person Lime met with right before he disappeared, and would Eli like to know who it was? Eli: "Martin Posner." If I were Maggie, I'd be hella pissed that I spent countless hours unearthing information of which Eli was already aware. But I'm not, so HA! Maggie asks why Eli didn't do something at the time, but Eli points out that it would have been illogical to try to convince Posner to produce a witness he obviously went to great lengths to hide. Maggie's aghast, but Eli thankfully points out what company they work for and the m.o. of same. Maggie: "If you think that, then why do you work here? I thought you had changed!" Eli: "Why do you work here? I may be trying to change and I might not be pulling it off lately, but at least I know what this place is!" Point to Eli -- he's negotiating this road imperfectly but humanly, but Maggie really doesn't have much of an excuse here. Eli goes on that Maggie might be a better lawyer if she saw things as they actually are, which is ironic coming from a guy who can't round a corner without tripping over a gospel choir or a buff surfer. Speaking of which, Maggie stomps out, and Eli looks regretful again, but there's no time to dwell on that, as the music starts once more. Eli looks through the blinds of his office and sees the choir descending the stairs. He happily comes out into their midst, and behind him, someone starts singing the first verse. He turns, and...it's Patti, dressed in a flashy red sequined dress. And this is the event to which I referred earlier, because I can't completely hate someone who can sing this well. You may not know that Loretta Devine was in Dreamgirls on Broadway, but this is clearly her voice, and the performance is not only lovely, but sassy! In a good way! The vision fades...
