Ally is plagued with hallucinations of Al Green. She talks about these hallucinations with Dr. Shirley Flott, who is seeing patients while Dr. Tracy is away. Shirley has no patience for Ally's daydreams and wants desperately to put her on Prozac. Wrestling with the idea of going on medication leads Ally to question what is so wrong about hallucinations: they bring her comfort and keep her in perspective? Meanwhile, Nelle and John defend a boy suspended for impulsively kissing one of the most beautiful girls in his class. During all this, Billy has had a series of "off the book" appointments and refuses to tell anyone, including Georgia, where he's going.moreless

"Poor"

By house1234, Oct 09, 2011

The whole season so far has been mediocre. Ally's delusions and her being literally insane the entire time and nobody else really noticing and her not noticing even thought it's obvious is starting to really piss me off. She's nuts, we get it. Get to the end.. drug her up, send her to the nut house, find a brain tumor, or just magically write it out already. Also, Billy basically tongued the whore secretary and there are norepercussions, he gives Ally one kiss and they spent 15 episodes dealing with it. I don't see how this show is supposed to be one of the best law shows of the last decade (well I guess two decades now..). It's pretty terrible, the way it is right now, it would probably be better to write out Ally and the terrible musician that they're using. David E. Kelley's created some great shows, this isn't one of them.moreless
