Plot
At the Los Angeles County Court, Rebecca finishes meeting with the bar association to get her license to practice law restored. Paula is eager to have her back at work but later at Rebecca's therapy session with Dr. Akopian she is noticeably unenthusiastic. Akopian suggests there are other professions Rebecca can try but her patient is unsure. As she leaves she runs into Josh Chan who is there to see his therapist. Rebecca takes the time to apologize to Josh for her actions towards him the last few years. Josh apologizes for his own mistakes and tells her he's ready to start dating again. Over at Home Base, Hector mentions to Heather he hurt his toe in a surfing competition.
Meanwhile, Rebecca arrives at her office building she's surprised to see a Pretzel Central opening up in the lobby. Rebecca learns it is own and operated by her co-worker at the firm Jim who quit being an attorney. When his employee AJ tells him he aspires to have a legal career, Jim tries to dissuade him (♫ Don't Be A Lawyer ♫). At the firm, Rebecca is greeted by Bert and given the cold shoulder by Nathaniel. Rebecca then joins Paula, Tim and the firms biggest client Wendy Legrand in the conference room. Rebecca successfully reassures Wendy she'll handle her business issues. However, Rebecca is suddenly uncomfortable and heads down to the lobby where she applies for a job at Pretzel Central.
Over at Home Base, Josh is on a date with a former classmate from high school who is at first excited to be with him. However, upon learning he once danced in a gay bar, lives with his friends mom and is in therapy she makes an excuse and leaves. Over at Pretzel Central, Rebecca tells Paula she's temporarily working at the Pretzel shop until she is reinstated by the bar association. Back at Home Base, Hector tells Heather a Doctor he consulted with about his injury told him to go to the hospital. Heather suggest they get married since he has no health insurance and they are wed by a judge in a quick ceremony. The significance of the moment hits them both and they are overwhelmed with emotion.
