Episode Summary
Ally finds herself the mentor for young lawyer Jenny, whom she runs into on the street and immediately hires as an associate at Cage and Fish. Neurotic Jenny, fresh from being fired by her old firm, and from heartbreak over a failed relationship, comes face to face with both her firm when she opposes its lawyers in court, and her old boyfriend, when it turns out that he is the other new associate at Cage and Fish. Meanwhile, John misunderstands Ally when he overhears her say she loves him, and sets out to win her heart. He seeks advice from Richard, waxes poetic to Ally, and after those and other attempts backfire, ends the hour with the realization that she does not love him in the way that he had hoped.moreless
