This was an interesting episode, which mixed several tropes including duty, honour, commitment - and the hard-learned lesson that "my enemy's enemy is my friend".
Juanita Ressler (Mac's professor of law at Duke) appears, replacing Harm as the defence counsel for the middle part of the trial. Harm keeps beavering away in the background despite being replaced as defence counsel by a well-funded right-wing "patriot". The patriot subsequently learn the valuable lesson of "be careful what you wish for".
It is interesting to watch the conversation, scripted in 1998, about Kobart Towers and "The World Trade Centre". At that time, America's view of "terrorism" was that it happened in far-off lands: the WTC had only lost a couple of pillars and concrete beams in the underground parking structure in 1993.
Eventually, the bad guys lose and our heroes stand tall.
