Get to know wild-child criminal court judge Rebecca Wright (Kate Walsh, "Grey's Anatomy," "Private Practice"), in this special first look at Bad Judge.

Rebecca (Kate Walsh) isn't ready to invest in Gary (Ryan Hansen), and she isn't interested in pursuing a fling. She eventually decides to clear her head with some time alone, but when her van breaks down, she realizes the one relationship she can always count on is with Tedward (Tone Bell. Along the way, she deals with a celebrity who has shoplifted for attention from her closest relationship, the paparazzi.

Rebecca attempts to befriend the court stenographer after forgetting her name, and she gets anxious when her Fireman wants more from her than the casual fling she'd like with him. She fails to find justice in the courtroom while trying the manager of a restaurant who sexually harasses his employees. In the end, Rebecca (literally) kicks butt and serves up her own brand of retribution.

Tedward is concerned for Rebecca's safety after a convict who's case she tried is released. She contemplates getting a gun and handles the case of a dim and unaware thief. When the ex-con thanks Rebecca for giving him a chance, Tom is persuaded to push for lighter charges on the mentally unstable criminal.

Rebecca is called for jury duty; but it conflicts with the Serpico Olympics. She serves as a juror on a prostitution case; which she believes should be legalized. Tedward trains Gary to be Rebecca's replacement in case she misses the Olympics.

Rebecca's arch nemesis from law school shows up as defense counsel and implies that the judge only got her position because of Governor Schwarzenegger's "Breast Lift", appointing attractive women to the bench. Meanwhile, Tedward is running out of time to find a date for Conan Con.

While helping her friend Michelle (guest star Angela Kinsey) get through a divorce, Rebecca (Kate Walsh) is scared off by Gary's (Ryan Hansen) commitment-themed romantic night. Tedward (Tone Bell) helps Hernandez (Miguel Sandoval) through a fashion crisis, and Rebecca tries the case of a deaf man who steals shoes.

Rebecca's (Kate Walsh) rocker ex-husband Keith (guest star Jim Jefferies) re-appears in her life to let her know of the death of an old friend. With Gary's (Ryan Hansen) help, Rebecca realizes she still carries anger toward her ex and is able to successfully let the past go. Tedward (Tone Bell) sees the courtroom as the perfect way to meet recently single women, but realizes he has gone too far when a convict's girlfriend thinks he's "Mr. Right."

Over Christmas, Rebecca tries the case of "Face Mask Mom," a mother who tackled a PeeWee football player. The trial is made difficult by a sweltering heat, and the air conditioning can only be fixed by a specific union worker that is nowhere to be found. Face Mask Mom and Rebecca realize they can truly enjoy the holidays when surrounded by good friends.

Rebecca helps her friend get over a divorce, but discovers that her judgmental advice isn't always what people want to hear. Meanwhile, Tom and Tedward try to convince a witness to testify; and Hernandez participates in a sexual-harassment course with Judy.

In the midst of a high profile case, a hacker releases an incriminating photo of Rebecca. Meanwhile, Gary is solicited for therapeutic advice.

Everyone is on lockdown in the courthouse due to a police emergency outside. An innocent game to pass the time leads to a major revelation about Rebecca she hasn't cried in over 10 years. Meanwhile, Tedward is extremely hungry and discovers someone has stolen granola bars from his earthquake kit.

Drama with Michelle's ex-husband threatens Rebecca's chances of breaking a courtroom record.
