Harm (H)defended corpsman Terrance Shaw for the premeditated murder of Cpl Mark Duquette which was prosecuted by Mac (M). Bud (B) was called to be on the jury. The evidence was all circumstantial but pointed to Shaw's guilt. M had a "watch cap" excluded from evidence, which B saw and interpreted as "reasonable doubt." Everyone on the jury felt Shaw was guilty and only B thought "not guilty." Over many hours of debate and evidence reconstruction, B convinced everyone else of the reasonable doubt. Then B was surprised when H wouldn't shake hands with Shaw after the verdict. H then told B that he really "didn't want to win." Then M & B tracked down more evidence against Shaw and they will attempt a retrial in civilian court.
Turner (T) was sent TAD to the submarine base New London. PO Derick Newton's wife Ellen had served him divorce papers a couple days before deployment. The Captain wouldn't let Newton go home, so T talked with Newton's wife; but, was unsuccessful. So T took Newton's place at work so Newton and several "navy wives" could go to where his wife worked and talk to her. She did finally relent and withdrew the divorce after he promised that they would have a baby when he got back so that during his next deployment she wouldn't be so alone.
Serge's application for citizenship was denied lacking proof of his parentage; but, H said they would try to get some DNA from his fathers letters. H teased M & T through the episode about him having 2 seats at super bowl. They both wanted him to take them; but, he strung them along. Chegwidden (C) knew about what H was doing, but wouldn't tell them either. All except H were at B & Harriet's super bowl party. H was actually flying "cover" for the super bowl in an F14 with Skates. He flew upside-down to take picture of the bowl so people would believe him.
