After taking some hay fever medicine Ben has a strange dream about a 1930s speakeasy club. Everyone Ben knows is in the dream but they are different people. Ben is a lawyer but he's also a drunk.

Leeann begs Ben to represent Billy, presumably because she hopes the incompetent Matlock will serve her ulterior motive.
