A Piece of Work
The piece played in Miles' limo might have been Suite Number 1 in G, BWV 1007: Prelude by Johann Sebastian Bach. -- Harriedwith2angels

Jessie in the dress
Lily is over at Rick's and is apparently helping Jessie try on a dress for the wedding.

Enter the DA
Assistant District Attorney Robert ?? appears first by calling Karen out of the blue and being mysterious on the phone, then asking her to his office where he is alternately charming (in an absent-minded sort of way) and annoying as he tries to pry information out of her. We are left with the clear impression that he will do whatever it takes to get his prosecution - regardless of Karen's fears about harming Rick.

... and Miles to go ...
Miles reveals to Rick that he has pancreatic cancer. The only question not answered is "when" did he know - just recently or well before the Atlantor thing began?

Because you need to know
In probably one of the best moments of the series, Rick tells Jessie and Eli the situation as he knows it. During this, Lily enters his apartment (apparently, she has a key), and stands by the doorway to listen to Rick as he tries to explain the state of affairs as well as try to comfort Jessie. Lily then leaves without making her presence known.

You've done excellent work
In a rare moment of humanity, Miles tells Rick that he (Rick) has done excellent work "even of no one else sees it."

Et tu, Christie?
Christy gets wind of the subpoena, and calls Lily into her office. It is quite clear that she's fishing for information and begins by telling Lily that she's going to publish a story that Rick will be indicted. Lily falls for it and tells Christy in no uncertain terms, that Rick is innocent and there is no indictment in the offing.

I thought you could use the company
Eli cuts school and shows up at the county courthouse to be with Rick.

Bring on the Spanish Inquisition
The first day of hearings are centered around Rick as Robert asks pointedly one-sided questions, clearly trying to set up a self-incriminating reply. In this, Rick handles himself astoundingly well - telling the truth as he knows it and challenging Robert to either accuse him clearly or cease. While Rick's bravado may be good for his image and confidence, it does nothing to deter Robert who continues to pursue every little misstep.

Are you Rick Sammler?
Just as Rick and Lily are coming to terms with the inquisition, deputies show up with a search and seizure warrant. Rick, Lily, Eli, and Jessie stand by helplessly and watch as the computers and other documents are taken.

It looks like AP-1 takes place over 6 days, maybe Monday-Saturday (because most days are at-work or in-court type of days)..

Day #1 -- Breakfast with the boxers; that afternoon Jessie at Karen's and braces talk ; Rick in pink pants and funny slate talk with staff...Miles arrives and talks of portents..

Day #2 -- At 10AM, Karen is downtown and meets Bob Damonjik(?); that night, a suspicious Rick picks Jess up at Karen's and they return to his apartment, where he writes his "food" list and Lily assists Jess with her dress and finds out Eli is "in love" with Carla... (whew!)...and the subpoena is delivered; later, Rick is jittery on the phone with Walter, and Lily tries to get him to calm down.

Day #3 -- Rick meets with the lawyers (Kay Lenz & Assoc.); DA Bob surprises Karen at her office; Rick is still trying to reach Miles, and suggests to Amanda that he may be "in flight"; Lily at PA, tells Christie in no uncertain terms that she'd better not print the article w/o interviewing Rick first; that night, Rick talks to Eli and Jessie, and Lily overhears..

Day #4 -- Lily has waffles ready for E and J, as Karen arrives; Lily and Judy converse on the street; Rick downtown to the hearing, meeting Miles first...and seeing Eli there for him; at Lily's that night, she wants to know everything and wants to hold him to make amends for wanting to know everything especially how this will affect their plans.

Day #5 -- Lily cries at the stove, and Grace and Zoe comfort her; Karen brings the files to DA Bob; that night, Amanda tells Rick to "go home, chief," but Miles arrives and reveals his cancer; Rick struggles over to pick Jess up at Karen's..

Day # 6 -- (Saturday? since we don't see any sign of work or court?) Rick listens that night to Jessie speak about the Romans, hugs her...Lily hugs him and Eli is impressed that she cooked; the Cook County police arrive with their warrant..

That's it in a nutshell... Now, perhaps GB will pick right up where we left off....or close to it...

Setting a date
Rick and Lily's wedding date will be May 12.

...and grill for ...
Rick's testimony took about 5 hours on the first day.

A sign
The big blue sign in Rick's office has been changed to "Sammler and Associates". It used to say "Sammler Cassilli and Associates".

The county
Not a surprise, Rick's apartment is in Cook County.

The bag man
The judge who made the decision on the TRO, was caught on tape accepting a bribe from a Mr. Gummersall. The actor who played Bennie Jannetti (the suicidal busboy in TOEotT, ep 214) is Devon Gummerall, who, coincidentally, was also on My So Called Life.

Boxes
In the opening sequence, the cereal boxes are laying on their sides, then standing, then back on their sides, then standing again.

I'm guessing that they needed the boxes standing so Rick could easily grab one to cover his enlargement problems, totally due to Lily's caresses! But then when Zoe comes in, the boxes would have blocked her face, so they were toppled over so she wouldn't be hidden. -- Divorced_Again
