According to his despondent owner Wallace Haft, this David Beckham is a clone he paid $200,000 for after his first dog, the prize-winning David Beckham I, died. But because the new dog is just a shadow of his genetic predecessor, Wallace wants his money back. Jane's day then takes an unexpected turn when Deb's mother, Bobbi Dobkins, shows up wanting to hire Grayson to represent her in a divorce.

But when the defense lawyer blames the new pup's poor performance on its owner, the judge is inclined to dismiss the suit once genetic tests proving Beckham II's lineage are confirmed.

Though tests prove that David Beckham II was just one of four clones that were produced and Jane and Kim convince the lab to settle, Wallace realizes how fond he's grown of his new dog and asks to keep him.

Henry Callahan, who was responsible both for putting Michael behind bars and then releasing him after another man confessed to the crime, the board denies Jane's request and awards Michael nothing at all. Meanwhile, Grayson is uncomfortable with defending Barry Schuster, the owner of a website that helps married people arrange extramarital affairs. And upon discovering that it's her birthday, Jane learns she is now eight years older than Deb.Despite being under fire from Parker for antagonizing Callahan, Jane decides to sue the D.A. Though she's unhappy to learn that the real killer died five years ago, after reviewing his confession and the testimony of an eyewitness, Jane concludes that, because the killer drank a soda and ate a box of Cracker Jacks as he fled the scene, Callahan should have realized that the diabetic Michael couldn't have committed the crime. Meanwhile, though Kim has no problem with the case, Grayson struggles to come up with a closing argument in defense of a client who he finds reprehensible.After Jane convincingly argues that the D.A.'s zeal to get re-elected drove him to do nothing when faced with the evidence of her client's innocence, Callahan offers Michael $100,000 for his wrongful imprisonment.
