Drop Dead Diva

Jane: See that aspiring model there?

That was me - deb - until the day I died.

I thought I'd go straight to heaven,

But there was a bit of a mix-up

And I woke up in someone else's body.

So now I'm jane,

A super-busy lawyer with my very own assistant.

I got a new life, a new wardrobe,

And the only people who really know what's going on with me

Are my girlfriend stacy and my guardian angel, fred.

I used to think everything happened for a reason...

Whoo!

...And, well, I sure hope I was right.

♪ waking up, just to fall right back to sleep... ♪

Jane.

Jane!

There better be a fire.

Your assistant can't get you on your cell,

So she called me on mine.

Teri? What did she want?

You have a new client,

Someone in show biz,

Someone big.

Julia roberts big or "jersey shore" big?

She said they're in music.

Oh, my god.

That means it might be -

J.Lo! J.Lo!

Okay, I have to get dressed!

Teri called me, too.

Stacy got so excited, she hung up.

Apparently, the case is grayson's,

But he's requested you as second chair.

Oh, my god.

Okay, now, we have worked together,

But he's never specifically requested me.

Aah! This is awesome!

Okay, important question -

What are you gonna wear?

Uh...Oh.

This?

A michael rs cowl-neck sweater?

No, no, no, no, no.

Of course. J.Lo prefers a swooping neck line.

I don't know what I would do without you.

[ song plays indistinctly through headphones ]

okay.

How do I look?

Where's j.Lo?

It's not j.Lo. How do I look?

Miley?

Colbie?

Britney?

Confetti. Who?

They're a sister act. Check 'em out.

♪ how could you look away when I said to stay? ♪

♪ how'd you leave so easily? ♪

♪ won't you tell me... ♪

They're sweet.

Like a dtic.

Stacy said you said it was someone big.

This video is the second most downloaded video on youtube.

The only one bigger is a bull trying to do it with a chicken.

I love that video.

Jane, thanks for helping me out.

Oh, yeah. I'm happy to second chair.

Um, just curious. I mean, why me?

Someone's fishg for a compliment.

You remember that playlist you made for al's retirement party?

You know your pop music.

Yes, I do.

For example, did you know

That madonna's bra from the blonde ambition tour

Sold for $20,000?

I did not.

And I'm not sure that will be helpful to our case.

Anyways, dewey & pierce are repping jessica.

You guys have tina, the one in pink.

Arraignment's at 11:00.

♪ if we could begin again... ♪

So what'd they do anyway, trash a hotel suite

Or shoplift from barney's?

Jane, they're accused of murder.

♪ let's start tomorrow today ♪

♪ we're in this together ♪

Should we have taken separate elevators?

No one is paying attention.

Good morning, mr. Parker, ms. Kaswell.

You both arrived at the exact same time again.

Inside voice, fred.

Oh, um...

mr. Parker, sir,

A francine waters is in your office.

She's upset.

Francine runs an amazing bed and breakfast

In santa barbara.

Ms. Kaswell, why don't you join me?

I'd be happy to, mr. Parker.

"from check-in to check-out,

"the hideaway inn was bleak and depressing.

"a good waterboarding would've been more relaxing

Than my weekend."

It gets worse from there.

I don't understand.

Your place is spectacular.

Since the review came out on hiptripz,

Occupancy is down 75%.

If I don't recover by the end of summer,

I'll be forced to sell.

It's the industry leader.

I've seen bad reviews before. This is brutal.

It's vindictive.

A few months ago, I refused to buy ad space on their website.

Have you been in touch with the reviewer?

Hiptripz is like the michelin guide.

There's 26 contributing writers,

But the individual reviews are anonymous.

This is clear defamation.

Kim will file an action on your behalf.

We'll demand that they take down the review

And issue a full apology.

This doesn't make any sense.

Chris was our manager.

He got me and jess a record deal,

And now the cops think we killed him?

Tina, do you have any idea why they suspect you?

No.

I mean, we had disagreements, but chris was a friend.

You told the police that you have an alibi.

Yes.

I was at the movies...

Jessica!

Are you okay? I'm totally freaked.

Me too.

Uh, mr. Kent, vanessa hemmings with dewey & pierce.

Nice to meet you.

And this is my second chair...

Jane. Jane bingum.

It's a pleasure.

Listen, even though our clients require separate representation,

How would you feel about a joint strategy

Given their mutual alibi?

United front. Couldn't agree more.

Me too.

Docket ending 627 and 628,

Tina and jessica orlando.

The charge is first-degree murder.

The state contends that the defendants,

Believing they had been cheated by their manager, chris fabrikant,

Acted together to cause his death by bludgeoning.

The state requests that each defendant be held without bail.

Counselors?

Your honor - your honor -

Go ahead.

These young women have never had so much as a traffic ticket,

And they both have deep roots in the community.

Not to mention, they are both gainfully employed.

They have studio time and tour dates booked.

Now, we're not asking that they be released on their own recognizance...

But we are asking that you consider a bond.

In what amount?

$100,000, your honor.

So ordered.

Well, that went well.

Yeah. Not bad.

Vanessa's a good lawyer.

You think? And pretty.

Ah, didn't notice.

Come on, grayson.

You loosened your tie like three times,

And that's your thing.

Whenever you find someone - what?

I don't have a thing.

Hey, nice work in there.

We were just saying the same.

So, uh, we've got a mountain of discovery.

What do you say we jump in and discuss strategy over dinner?

Sounds great.

Your conference room or mine?

Why don't you come over to harrison & parker.

We'll order chinese.

Okay. Looking forward to it.

Me too.

I can't wait.

Mm, that is a lot of blood.

Mm, head wounds will do that.

The a.D.A.'s gonna prejudice the jury

With the violence of the crime.

Pass the chow fun?

Time of death - sometime between 9:30 and 10:30 p.M.

Well, that's good for our girls.

Their movie started at 8:45.

Yeah, but the theater was only a couple of miles away

From where the victim was killed,

So theoretically, they could've gone back and forth.

If the prosecution makes that claim,

We'll argue that someone would've seen them.

Okay, so let's talk motive.

They'll argue that our clients
