Lucas Abbott is the newest senior partner at the same law firm at which Buddy works. Eloise tells Colquitt she heard that Abbott left his law firm in Conneticut because of some trouble with a law clerk. Colquitt describes Abbott as looking like Gregory Peck. Abbott takes Buddy under his wing and teaches him about tax law. Even Pie mentions that her husband is spending an abnormal amount of time with Abbott. It is assumed that once Abbott's family relocates from Conneticut, he will spend more time with his family than the Harralsons. Pie tells Colquitt that Abbott has even helped them decorate their new house. The night of the Harralsons' housewarming party, Abbott is discovered by Pie's father in what appears to be a homosexual embrace with Buddy.
