Hart has a girlfriend with whom he is very close to and who shares his deep love of the law. Together they uncover a "secret" repository of all of the collected books, articles, and even class notes of all the law school's professors, including Kingsfield. This find helps them look very good in the Contracts class the next day.

Things seem to be moving to the next level when Hart is invited to her father's house for the weekend. All seems to go well and her father is impressed with Hart, while Hart takes to her dad.

Dad makes Hart promise that no matter what, he will try to help Nancy keep her dream alive of becoming a lawyer. Hart thinks the promise is a little odd, but agrees.

Back at school, a news bulletin shocks Hart and Nancy with the news that Nancy's father has been killed in a "gangland hit." Apparently, Nancy's dad was an underworld figure, a life that Nancy did not want to emulate, but a man whom she loved nonetheless.

She and Hart try hard to make the relationship work, regardless of the constant interference of news reporters and family politics. But finally, Nancy leaves, telling Hart that she needs to find a new life.
