Ends and Means

Episode Number: 34    Season Num: 2    First Aired: Wednesday January 30, 2002    Prod Code: 212
Ed represents a woman who embezzled money from her insurance company employer to pay for a claimant's liver transplant, and breaches his own ethics to keep her out of jail.

Nancy tries and fails at a new career as a substitute teacher, and realizes that she'd like to become a guidance counselor.

For once, Phil gets it right when he turns a child's birthday party at the Stuckeybowl into a celebrity roast, which ends up being a bigger hit than Ed anticipated.
