Later in the episode it is revealed that Jack is defending a murder suspect in a trial that Erin is prosecuting. The suspect (Delgado) is a federal informant who murdered a father when he discovered that drugs were being smuggled through the ship yard where he worked. Jack attempts to get the witness identification thrown out in a preliminary hearing but the judge rules on the prosecutions side.
