Sandy once again represents Ryan, but this time for the arrest following the model home fire. After his release, Ryan searches for his mother, and once she's found, Ryan agrees to give her a second chance. However, when Dawn accompanies the Cohens and Ryan to a Casino Night, Dawn drinks heavily and Kirsten sees how unfit Dawn is in being a mother to Ryan. Meanwhile, both Sandy and Julie find out that Kirsten lent Jimmy $100,000 to help him with his debt, resulting in an argument between Sandy and Julie.
