Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
The ambitious but back-stabbing Marlene Stanger, also known as “The Squid” – the only animal believed to be able to kill a shark – joins the firm, and Denise Bauer wonders if there’s enough room for the both of them.

Meanwhile, when Denny Crane is pitted in court against his son, attorney Donny Crane, their politically different viewpoints come to the surface as they seek justice in a case about a woman who lost her baby at an inadequately supplied clinic in Nepal. And, after Paul Lewiston’s daughter, Rachel, returns from rehab, Brad Chase hopes they can pursue a relationship.

Episode Quotes
 
Alan: Sorry I'm late everyone, but as usual, I'm really only here for the fruit.
 
Marlene Stanger: Your name came up frequently at my old firm.
Alan: I hope amid a torrent of obscenities.
Marlene Stanger: Always.
Alan: Good.
 
Denny: You're looking thin. You should eat more.
Donny Crane: Some of us don't have fancy expense accounts to pay for our meals.
Denny: You should get one. They're awesome.
 
Denny: We're late.
Alan: You're late. I'm not going.
Denny: That time of the month?
 
Marlene Stanger: Just so you know, that little incident would be considered sexual harassment.
Alan: You're quite intoxicating. Oops, did it again.
 
(To Alan.)
Denny: Do you like hot fudge sundays?... Ahh, who knows what you like. You're a weirdo.
 
Denny: Son, Let me ask you something. These lost causes, why do yo do it?
Donny Crane: I suppose the struggle gives me comfort. Why do you do what you do?
Denny: I don't actually remember. It may have something to do with the massive amounts of money I make.
 
Denny: I've never heard you make so much sense.
Alan: I make sense all the time. You just listen intermittently.
Denny: Could be.
 
Donny Crane: So, any interest in being my fake father again.
Denny: I never stopped being your fake father, son.
