Outline

The episode starts with a softball game with JAG HQ versus the Navy Chaplains, however a delicate situation with respect to US – Japan relations prompts Admiral Chegwidden to send Harm, Mac and Bud to Japan. Ensign Terry Guitry (Sean Murray) is accused of raping a Japanese woman, and the case is made even more difficult by off-the-cuff comments to the press from the commanding officer of the defendant (Muse Watson). Harm and Mac must struggle with both the Japanese legal system (the disparities between Japanese and American courtroom procedures make for a culture clash) and reluctant witnesses to clear the young man who has a life imprisonment sentence awaiting him if he is found guilty.
