Two elderly sisters seek Reggie's representation on behalf of their nephew, a delusional man who believes he is living the Civil War and must defend the South's women from Yankee men, culminating in his killing a man during an assault on a woman. Since no murder is reported at first, Reggie must first determine whether or not her client imagined the murder since attorney/client privilege prevents her from going to the police. It soon becomes clear that he was telling the truth when he confessed – and his mission to protect Southern women from Yankee men is unyielding and dangerous. Meanwhile, Arnie goes over Reggie's accounting and continues to encourage her to stop taking clients who can't pay so she can continue her practice. Meanwhile, Momma Love goes looking for a job and Arnie takes her on as his assistant; while working together, Momma realizes Arnie is in love -- with Reggie.

When Reggie is stalked by a crazy person, she and Foltrigg repeatedly fail to stop him. As the stalker becomes more and more aggressive and threatening, Foltrigg asks Reggie to use herself as bait to apprehend the man. Reggie thinks the stalker is someone she knew when she was drinking alcohol heavily. Meanwhile, Momma Love's cousin, Estelle, asks Reggie to settle a request in her deceased husband's will by giving a piece of property to a black woman who saved her husband's life years ago. However, Momma Love learns that Estelle's husband actually killed the woman's husband and wanted to make amends. Also, Clint enrolls in a dating service.
