Ep 7. Trick or Treat

As Halloween approaches, Crane, Poole & Schmidt finds themselves defending a man who was fired from his job for wearing a costume to work. Meanwhile, Alan Shore takes on a pro bono case for a woman who was denied the right to vote in the 2000 Presidential election, despite being a registered voter.

The case involving the fired employee takes a unique twist when it's revealed that the man suffers from dissociative identity disorder, commonly known as multiple personalities. As the team delves deeper into his case, they discover that the true reason for his firing may not be related to his Halloween costume at all.

Meanwhile, Alan's case becomes increasingly complicated as he uncovers a larger conspiracy involving voter suppression in Florida during the Presidential election. He teams up with a quirky voting rights activist, played by guest star Ed Begley Jr., to help his client get justice.

As always, comedic moments are interwoven throughout the episode, including a hilarious subplot involving Shirley Schmidt's attempts to keep her apartment building in line during the Halloween festivities.

Overall, "Trick or Treat" is a classic episode of Boston Legal that combines a mix of legal drama, social commentary, and humor. The episode touches on important real-world issues, such as mental illness and voting rights, while still keeping the audience entertained with its witty dialogue and quirky characters.
