Adam is testifying about the horror he experienced in the overturned car, saying that he was tempted to give up, and the only reason he didn't was because his cell phone rang, and he could see "Cory's" number on the caller ID. Martin whispers something to Eli as Adam goes on that he knew he had to hold on so he could dance with her at their wedding. There's a really tasteless joke in there about Jewish ceremonies, but I won't be the one to make it. When it's Eli's turn, he reads from a paper that I think is what Martin was talking to him about, saying that at the time, Adam testified that he swerved to avoid a metal object in the road. Eli swiftly establishes that Adam had been drinking at dinner (he claims it was "a few beers" and that he wasn't drunk) and that he and Cory had a fight, which is why he left. In addition, Eli has affidavits from all the police officers and EMTs that were on the scene that night, and no one reported finding the metal object that Adam allegedly tried to avoid. Eli repeats back all these points, and says that just because the SUV rolled over doesn't mean it was defective. "And it doesn't mean that your driving wasn't." Maggie: Sad face!
And now, back at the office, Maggie and her sad face are telling Eli that she doesn't want to watch this anymore, and she's going to find Lime. "Maybe he knows what's right." Take your time, honey! Eli then swivels his head to see Patti overact, "I hope you're happy with yourself." I'm thinking he is, given how likely it is that he owns a mirror. Eli: "Do any women around here like me anymore?" As if on cue, a couple rather fruity-seeming surfers go running by, and if that was meant to be a well-timed cheap laugh, it's got my approval on both counts. Eli chases the boys to the bathroom...
...and then he's out on the beach again. He walks into the water and asks a surfer where he is, and gets a "Hawaii, bra!" in response. Oh, surfer talk. A huge wave then crests over Eli...
