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

      • Milter: Ally, I was once a boy.
        Ally: Thank you. I didn't know therapists were supposed to reveal their own guarded secrets.

      • Ally: And who am I today? Milter: It would only be a guess... Ally: Take it. Milter: Somebody who desperately wants love but who no longer believes in it.

      • Jenny: Oh, this is for me. "Lady is a Tramp" That's what he used to call me, his little tramp. Ally: Oh, how romantic.

      • Glenn: Jenny, you're always the one who breaks it off. Jenny: Because you're a pig and a schemer and a clown and all you care about is sports and you're impossible to live with. You're impossible to be with. But you're not impossible to love.

      • Jenny: You thought he was cute. Ally: I... I didn't. Jenny: You did. You looked down to give your outfit a quick glance over. I know, I do that too. When I meet a cute guy I check my outfit and my breasts, to make sure they're still there.

      • Ally: What do they call those people who relive their lives over and over again? Milter: The clinical word? Ally: Yes. Milter: Pathetic. Ally: Right. Right, well... well, I'm not one to relive my past problems, thank you very much. I've committed this year to new disasters.

      • Ally: I've come to a point in my life where deep deep down I long to be... a mentor. Milter: Oh, dear God, no.
