Martha is one of four barristers from Shoe Lane lane chambers involved in a case of public indecency. With Kate Brockman prosecuting, Martha, Clive Reader and pupil Nick Slade defend the three accused who are charged with performing an indecent act in a public washroom. As it turns out, this isn't Nick's first time in court as he and Niamh Cranitch are assigned to represent a warring couple in magistrate's court. At issue is whether their dogs are dangerous and should be put down. In chambers, Kate Brockman continues her secret campaign to replace Billy as head clerk. For Martha, the time has come to decide if she is going to have her baby or get a termination.
