Summary: Judge Nicastro enlists Kate and Ben to mediate a contract dispute.
Lauren looks for a painting to hang in the lobby of the firm.
The episode begins with Kate calling
customer support as Beth, saying that
she has some trouble with a particular
device. Later on she tells the executive
that she kissed a guy she works with. She
is talking about Ben here. Next morning,
as usual Kate is late for a meeting and
it is with Judge Nicastro. As she enters
the office, she sees Ben and pretends to
be busy on the phone, but jus then her
phone rings! Oops! Ben asks her for dinner,
but she says that she is a little tied

Nicastro arrives. He declares that the Bay

But even before the meeting starts, Charles walks out of it saying that there would be no new
contract without him seeing the company’s books. Kate tries to convince Hayward to let the
union have a look at the books. But Hayward looks uncomfortable and tells Kate that Charles
likes to play dirty and he doesn’t want to entertain any such requests. Next, Lauren announces
the purchase of a painting from a dear friend, Tom Finnerman and it costs fifty thousand dollars.
Ben finds this ridiculous. But just then a boy comes in, fires paint balls on the painting and runs
away. Next, Kate talks to Nicastro and asks him whether there is some issues between him and
Charles.
The Judge tells her that Charles always thought that he is always against the union. He
doesn’t want to give orders for the books to be opened as he knows that Charles is fishing for
something, which later on he would use for negotiation. Kate is unsure about BCM’s bankruptcy.
At the office, Kate tells Leo that she kissed somebody but doesn’t tell him the name. She then
