The Tables Down at Ernie's (S01E20)
S01E20
In this episode, we delve deeper into Kingsfield's backstory as the news breaks that Ernie's bar, a beloved gathering spot on campus for years, is set to close along with other local businesses. The area will be demolished to create parking for a new college gym. Kingsfield, representing the school in this matter, finds himself confronted by Hart, who is determined to save Ernie's, where he works. After struggling to find a lawyer willing to take the case, Hart appeals to Kingsfield's nostalgia, mentioning a table with his initials from his law school days in the 1930s. This triggers a memory, leading Kingsfield to visit Ernie's, where he unexpectedly reunites with the original owner, Ernie, Sr., and they share fond memories.
