First season

In the pilot episode, Chase returns from a 12-week maternity leave to find herself with a new boss, Maureen Scofield (Kimberly Elise), who has been promoted instead of her. Maureen is a no-nonsense woman who sometimes resents Chase's personal life. Above her is County Prosecutor Steve Sharpe (John Carroll Lynch).

Second season

Annabeth returns to work four months after her husband was killed by a drunk driver on the first season finale. Annabeth's coming to terms with her husbands death, her grief, and her struggle to return to normalcy coupled with the guilt and trials of being a single parent are recurring themes throughout the season. It has been suggested that Baby mama be merged into this article or section. ...

Annabeth and Maureen also face a new boss, Chief Deputy Prosecutor James Conlon (David James Elliott), who has just arrived from New York, and whose methods appear to the two prosecutors to be too forceful and sometimes unethical. David James Elliott (born David William Smith on September 21, 1960, in Toronto, Canada) is an actor who had been the star of the series JAG since 1995, playing lead character Harmon Rabb Jr. ...

Near the end of the season, Conlon attempts a gubernatorial campaign which is derailed as police corruption is discovered, resulting in several prosecutions. Scofield is assassinated as a result of these prosecutions. The season (and series) ends with Chase successfully prosecuting Scofield's assassin.
