Tom DooleyEpisode Number: 108 Season Num: 5 First Aired: Monday April 22, 2002 Prod Code: 5M17 |
Ally is going to the Bermudas with Victor, and welcomes Liza as the firm's newest attorney. Nelle doesn't like that or the fact that she took John's office. Despite being her first day, Liza hires another lawyer, Wilson Jade, whom she was going to partner with on her own practice, hadn't she joined Cage, Fish & McBeal. Nelle and Wilson represent a woman who's suing her husband for sexual harassment, while John and Liza represent Nicole Naples, a woman who's legally married to two different men. Liza and John develop a great chemistry in court, and save Nicole from going to jail. John almost falls in love with Nicole, who's also interested in singing the mariachi with him. And back at the office, Claire is hot for Wilson, who makes an excellent settlement on the case with the help of Nelle (or should we call her Morgan, her real name, which was discovered by Liza – who's actually Debbie!)

(edit)
Featured Music:
"Tom Dooley" performed by Peter MacNicol and Mariachi Band
"M.T.A." performed by Heather Locklear, Peter MacNicol and Mariachi Band
"Tom Dooley" performed by Vonda Shepard (edit) Despite the show ending its run after this season, David E. Kelley brings a new lawyer to the firm - something he has previously done at the end of seasons 3 and 4. Wilson Jade is the 15th attorney to work at Cage, Fish & McBeal (Not counting Whipper, Larry and Renee, who never worked there). (edit) Calista Flockhart (Ally), Regina Hall (Coretta) and Josh Hopkins (Raymond) briefly appear in this episode. Neither Regina nor Josh Hopkins have any lines in this episode. Vonda Shepard and Hayden Panettiere (Maddie) do not appear in this episode at all. (edit) Austin Tichenor plays the character of Asst. D.A. Warren Tisbury on "The Practice" as well, so it's like a mini crossover despite Lara Flynn Boyle. (edit)

Wilson Jade: I must say, so many women lawyers today have that disgusting heart of gold beneath their slick exteriors, but you, you're so refreshing.
Nelle: I appreciate that.
Wilson Jade: Until we scheme again.
Nelle: Until. (edit) Liza: (to Jon about Nicole Naples) I may be short, but I think she likes you. (edit) Liza: In some states oral sex is against the law - you don't see people getting thrown in jail for that!
John: Bigamy is a little more serious.
Liza: You don't take oral sex seriously?
John: Eh pic-ca pic-ca, will you stop trying to rattle me! We're on the same side here!
Liza: Oh, yeah, Sorry, force of habit. (edit) Liza: Belle, will you help me with my trial?
Nelle: The name's Nelle.
Liza: It says Morgan on your birth certificate....
Ally: Morgan?
Nelle: Let's move along.
Ally: Wait, your name is Morgan Porter? (edit) Liza: I have a trial starting today, I could use some back-up.
Richard: I'm free.

Nelle: Ah, give me a break! (edit)
Nelle: I appreciate that.
