LORI AND SALLY TAKE ON A CRIMINAL CASE DEFENDING A MAN ACCUSED OF MURDER, WHILE SHORE AND TARA STRUGGLE WITH THEIR FEELINGS FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND DENNY CRANE'S MENTAL STATE IS AGAIN CALLED INTO QUESTION, ON ABC'S "BOSTON LEGAL"

"An Eye for an Eye" - Lori and Sally take on a criminal case defending a man, Jason Binder, who is accused of killing another man at a bar with a martial arts-type punch to the throat, and whose only character witness is his mother -- who doesn't make the best impression herself because of her glass eye...which tends to fall out when she gets excited. Meanwhile, Shore and Tara, the sexual tension between them growing, take the case of a hypochondriac, Bill Morgan, who is suing his doctor for malpractice; and the partners are concerned when Crane takes over one of Edwin Poole's cases, especially considering Crane is not at all prepared to try the case - which is taking place the following day - and is flat-out denied a continuance by a spiteful judge, on "Boston Legal," SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
