PRACTICE, THE: BETRAYAL (TV)
Summary
One in this series of dramas about the idealistic attorneys at a struggling Boston law practice. In this episode, Bobby and Ellenor defend Joey Heric, a brilliant and acerbic man implicated in the death of a prominent city councilman, with whom he was involved in a volatile homosexual love triangle. Perceptions of Heric's motives and actions regarding the murder are repeatedly confounded as the hyperverbal suspect deftly manipulates his defenders and prosecutors alike, playing both ends against the middle down to the moment of his startling, audacious testimony. Meanwhile, Jimmy's reputation is threatened when an act of kindness leads him to be unjustly prosecuted for solicitation by an unscrupulous A.D.A. who harbors a gudge against Bobby; Rebecca, Eugene, and Helen Gamble come to Jimmy's aid with some underhanded maneuvers of their own. Commercials deleted.
