On Thursday's episode of The Firm, Mitch McDeere is pacing around a mirrored examining room asking for his phone call. In episode five Mitch was arrested for the murder of Martin Moxon, who had jumped to his own death several episodes before.

This is the hardest part for viewers to grasp. Jumping back and forth through the show's timeline increases the tension but can get confusing.
