Portia, who doesn't usually drink, gets drunk. She is rightfully upset, but in spite of her fear she does not want to make waves with the white justice system. Doctor Copeland, however, who has struggled to overcome the "black anger" that used to overcome him, is ready to face that white justice system head on. When he is challenged, and abused, that anger is triggered and he fights back.
