Cage must represent his second cousin, a harmless but eccentric man with a Cupid Complex. His cousin was brought up on assault charges for swatting couples in the head with a paddle to goose them into realizing they're in love. On the way out of the courthouse, the client swats Ally and Bobby Donnell, who have grown considerably closer over a case they are co-counseling. The matter entails two men who want the court to order/force a hospital to perform a heart-swap surgery. The judge turns the tables on the lawyers and asks Ally to role-play by pretending she's the judge who must render the ruling. Billy and Georgia realize their relationship is in a rut. They resolve to be less predictable, and spontaneously decide to have sex in the conference room. Ally who always seems to be at the wrong place at the wrong time inadvertently walks in on Georgia and Billy.moreless

This is the final episode to Ally McBeal season 1, and what a season it was. As i look back i cannot help but enjoy most of the episodes that i have watched. This was a great first season and it my oppinion it keeps on getting better from here. The season one final looks back over the past season, Georga and Bill move closer and Ally realises that she has not found happyness yet. There is also a crossover in this episode with the Practice which is nice to see. Even though this is the second this around for me watching this show i stil love it. This was a great episode. On to season 2!moreless

This episode was mostly funny, I couldn't stop laughing when John was telling about his mother, it was hilarious! And the ending was fun when Ally walked in on Billy and Georgia, then after that it was a bit of a cliché with the flashbacks, but it was nice to see the entire season in a nutshell anyway.
