The firm ends up firing Andrew.

He tries to find an attorney who will help him sue the law firm but no one seems to want to take his case. He finally gets Miller to help him.

The trial is full of drama. Andrew's old firm tries to claim that Andrew got sick from sleeping around and was an incompetent attorney.

Miller heads to the hospital to tell him the news. Andrew is surrounded by family and friends at the hospital and they are pleased to see Miller as well.
