A Navy psychiatrist in Afghanistan is accused of malpractice and a age discrimination suit are the cases assigned to Harm, Mac & Bud.

When Harm is forced to shoot down a civilian plane flying in a ""no-fly"" zone in the Persian Gulf, Harm once again finds himself on the wrong side of the court-room.

Part of the JAG team goes to San Diego. Harm stays back as acting JAG. While he is there, a huge snowstorm strikes and Mattie is injured in an accident. Meanwhile, Mac and Vukovic find themselves working close to each other on a case at Camp Pendleton.
