Eli (now rethinking his decision to end his engagement to Taylor) sees visions of a man in a hospital gown. Turns out the man is a patient of Eli's brother, and had been in a coma for five years. While "asleep" the man's wife had their marriage annulled and fell in love with his business partner, who took control of the company. Eli is hired to get the man's company back for him. Meanwhile another case involving Eli's firm is one of defending a black partner against a racial bias charge because he refused to hire a sharp, street-wise black lawyer.
