Summary: Kate and Ben take a personal interest in a prison mediation and find
they have feelings for each other. Leo persuades Lauren to take a case
on his behalf.
The episode begins with Kate entering

Ben and Kate pay the women’s prison a

prisoners in the end settle for better quality food, the warden tells them that she would look into
