I just think we have to give her
the biggest party on Earth.

Elaine, if she hates turning 30,
I don't think a party--

She'll still want one.
Trust me.

Her dream is to have the
whole world revolve around her.

For one day, we should
be able to fake it.

I've already made arrangements
at the bar. We own the band.

Excuse me.
On whose dime?

Richard, she's going through a tough time.
Think of it.

In her whole life, she's only managed
to get one man to love her, and he's dead.

How many men have loved you?
Don't count army bases.

Funny. Come on.
We should do this.

I think we all could use
a little party.

Forget it. I am not
going to celebrate this.

Oh, come on. It'll be fun.
It's a time for joy. It's a write-off.

-No!
-Ally, you're 30.

You have to celebrate it.
It's a milestone.

I certainly plan to celebrate mine...
years from now.

I don't enjoy being 30,
okay, Nelle?

Oh, come on. You've had a few
years to get used to it. Tell the truth.

-I beg your pardon?
-Ally, I happen to love smile lines,

but I doubt very much
that yours arrived ahead of schedule.

What'd they call you
in school, Chuckles?

What exactly are you
trying to say?

Well, if Heather Locklear
can admit she's 40, so can you.

-Forty?
-Give or take. What's the big dif?

[Screams]

Hey! Hey, hey! Hey!
Hey, I--

-[Ally Grunting]
-[Gasps]

What the hell
is wrong with you?

Oh, he called me 40!
You heard him!

[John] Ally, face it.
Thirty is obviously a big deal for you,

but if we didn't celebrate it,
you'd be offended.

And since you've got us
in the party mood.

No, no!
No, no, no, no! Hey! Okay.

Okay. [Clears Throat] Okay.

Let's, uh--Let's deal
with that, uh, later.

Uh, next up, uh,
Commonwealth versus Flood.

-That's, uh, Mark?
-All right, trial starts today.

The Cookie has generously agreed to
do second chair for me,

for which I'm grateful.

-Yeah, uh, Biscuit?
-Oh, sorry, Jim. -John.

-Ally, I'd like you to third chair.
-What?

-What?
-We have a woman on trial for murder.

Oh, no, no. I don't
want to be on his team.

I don't want a whole army of defense
attorneys up there.

Who is the lady?

She's a murderer.

No, she's not,
Richard. Jim and I can handle this.

John.

Listen, we need to occupy Ally,
get her out of the office...

while we plan the party,
so you need to say you need her.

-But I don't.
-Mark, you ever want to make partner?

You ever want to have what
it takes to run your own firm?

You need to learn to lie.
Now do it.

Ally, I don't see how I could
possibly try this case without you.

We should perhaps go
since it starts in an hour.

-I have an appointment at 9:30.
-Oh, really? What kind of--

It's private, thank you. I guess I'll
have to meet you at the courthouse.

Hello! How are you?

Uh, you?
Well, you're the--

Well, I-I'm Ally McBeal,
a friend of Billy Thomas's. Remember?

Well, you--
you were his neurosurgeon.

Ah, yes.
Blew that one, huh?

Uh, you also do
plastic surgery?

More money in plastic.
So, let us see.

No, wait, wait, wait.
Now, I-I-I thought--

I thought that I was going
to see a cosmetic professional.

Now, are you even qualified
to do a face lift?

Ally, it's
not brain surgery.

Plus, I'm sure it's fun
to have patients who live, huh?

I'm sorry.
That was uncalled for.

I-I-I just, um, apologize.

What can I do for you?

Well, I was thinking
about, um,

a little, um... collagen.

I've heard about,
um, fat injections?

Not do fat.
Get lumpy.

-Oh. But-But you do do collagen?
-Yes.

So I was thinking about these,
um--these lines right here?

Now I know that they're not
really noticeable, and it's more--

No, I can see them
clear as day.

Oh. Well, good.

Come.
You lie down, I do now.

Well, no, I--
I have this--

See, I have to be in court in
a half an hour.

Just take a minute.

[Computer Beeps]

You want me do lips?

-Excuse me?
-You have beautiful lips.

-Uh, well--
-But I can make better.

Make really beautiful.

No, no, I-I-I don't want--Well,
they do look really great there.

-Are you nuts?
-Why? Would it get me off?

You're about
to get John off.

Lorna, you can't go
into court dressed like that.

-Mark--
-You are charged...

with smothering a man
to death with your breasts.

You cannot waltz in there
flaunting the deadly weapons.

-Well, this is all I brought.
-Then we're gonna get you something else.

I tried to tell you,
this is serious. The man--

-My husband.
-Was 89 years old.

-And I loved him.
-To death. That is why you're on trial.

[Exhales]

-Do you ever talk?
-[Stammering]

I'm gonna get you
somethin' else to wear.

John, I'll shop.
You get the continuance. This is for real.

Has that sunk in?
You're on trial for murder?

I don't sing, ever.

Well, we were hoping everybody
would do something. I have a number.

-What a surprise.
-Oh, Nelle.

I'm sure you have some talents,
however hidden.

Oh, I do, Elaine.
It's called focus.

With concentration, I can pretend the
little people in the world don't exist.

-Too bad I'm not focusing now.
-How about drama?

You could reenact your breakup with John
Cage when he got stuck in the elevator,

you cold-hearted, cunning,
conniving bitch.

This is why I don't get along with
secretaries.

Amounting to nothing makes you hostile.

You want to see me
hostile, Nelle?

I think you should go
practice your number.

Oh, and, Elaine?

Remember to forget
your underwear.

It takes attention off the fact
you don't really sing too well.

[Chuckles]

I-I can't go out
looking like this!

It will go down.

No. No, I-I-I can't. I--

Oh, God.
Oh, drain them.

It's not collagen.
It's swelling.

-One hour, you look just fine.
-Oh, my God.

It's barely noticeable
already. You just emotional.

-This is noticeable!
-No one will know but you.

-[Door Opens]
-[Gasps]

[Door Closes]

After examining Mr. Flood's
body and reviewing the medical records,

I determined that the cause of
death was asphyxiation due to suffocation.

Were you able to determine
the cause of the suffocation?

Yes.
The deceased's airway...

was forcibly occluded by
the breasts of the defendant.

[Lawyer] How long would
a person's mouth and nose...

have to be covered before
they would suffocate?

[Man] After about three to four minutes,
the body would go limp.

A continued lack of oxygen would
result in a coma at about seven minutes.

And death would occur
somewhere between 10 to 15 minutes.

[Lawyer] In the three or four minutes
before the body goes limp,

what would happen?

[Man]
Resistance.

So Henry Flood would be struggling
for air for three to four minutes?

-[Man] Absolutely.
-What happened to your lips?

What's going on?

Uh--Um, nothing.
Proceed.

Your Honor, could we have
a short continuance?

Cocounsel's eaten some
bad shellfish or something.

-Ally, I'm concerned.
-[Grunts]

Ms. McBeal, step up here.

I'm fine, Your Honor.

The court asked you
to step forward.

[Grunts]

And why are you covering
your face?

Uh, uh, I'm fanning it.
It--It's hot.

-Drop the piece of paper.
-Mm-mmm.

-[Spectators Laughing]
-What have you done to yourself?

Look, I am only 30 chair--
Third chair.

I'm not really needed and I'm
gonna remove myself from this face.

Case.

It's her birthday.

Uh, hey--hey, guys.
How's the--How's the case?

Oh, fast. We can get it in all today.

Mmm, excellent. Uh,
Mark, bad news. Well, maybe not.

We have
a firm tradition.

For birthdays, we draw a name out of a hat
and one of us has to get up at

the bar and sing.

-We drew your name, sport.
-What?

I don't sing.

Uh, well, yeah,
you do now. Short little number.

Keep it sweet.

-What to drain?
-You heard me. Suck it out!

Ally, it get better once.

No, I have decided to go with my own
natural lips, okay?

-Oh, that's a big mistake.
-Look, just suck the stuff out now.

You make me sad.

Oh, come on. Do--

-She took advantage of an old man.
-Why do you say that, Ms. Flood?

My father met her at some benefit.
Two weeks later, she was living with him.

Are you accusing her
of some improper influence?

Of course I am. She began
to block access to him.

My siblings and I were barely
able to communicate with our own father.

-[Together] Objection!
-I'm sorry.

-No, go ahead.
-No, you were first.

-Counsel.
-The truth is, Ms. Flood,

you barely communicated with your father,
even before Lorna was in the picture.

[Ms. Flood] That is very
much not the truth. I called him.

-When you wanted money.
-No! I called to see how he was.

He offered the money.

-Move to strike. That's a lie.
-Excuse me?

I haven't finished
my direct examination.

Oh. I thought you were done.
Didn't you?

-That was my impression.
-Well, what else do you have? -Hey!

Mr. Albert.

Your Honor, I still
don't know why this witness was called,

unless to get in the obvious
bias against my client.

But why would
the prosecution--

[Judge] Mr. Albert.

I only have one more question, then
I'm done.

This is direct examination.

He isn't done.
You don't get to cross until he's done!

-You're upset with me.
-Sit down!

-You want to find God?
-Yes.

-And what made you think he'd be here?
-Well, this is a church,

and people who believe
in God go to church.

Exactly. So why would
he be here preaching to the choir?

Shouldn't you be
embracing my decision?

Based upon what you've told me,
no. Look, I'm sick and tired...

of people turning to God for
the answer just because they've turned 30.

No, I am not looking for answers. I just--

God may be a woman.
Did you ever think about that?

What if he were female?

What's your point?

My point is,
you could just be looking for a man.

Having struck out on Earth, you're turning
to the heavens. Why not start at the top?

What? Wh-Wh-What kind
of a wacko minister--

I-I-I mean, I'm here
looking for my holy savior--

You're here because you have
a void in your life. Is it spiritual?

Is it emotional? It could be just sexual.
And if that's the case--

Oh, yes, I'm looking to make love to him.
My friend, Mary,

says he's amazing in the hay.

You're looking
for a husband, not God.

What if you'd found some guy last week,
would you be here today?

Or might you be in a motel
somewhere calling out God's name?

[Lisa]
Mark?

Let me talk to her.

He's not running a lonely hearts club.
Tell her that.

[Body Thuds]

-You tripped a minister.
-Well, what he said to me--

He has a real peeve about women only
needing the Lord between relationships.

-Why should he care the reason?
-Is he right?

Is this about you turning 40
and not having a man?

I am turning 30.

And what is so damn wrong about feeling
empty because I don't have a partner?

And what is so pathetic about wanting
to have a family and raise children?

And you don't get to do any of
that until you meet Mr. Penis Head.

So forgive me for coming to
the church in search of some guidance,

failing that, compassion!

[Lawyer]
As Henry Flood's attorney,

you were responsible for
his estate planning?

That's correct.

And did you have occasion to
make any changes or amendments...

to Mr. Flood's estate
shortly before his death?

Yes, about a month prior
to Henry's death,

he and Lorna came to see me
about increasing Lorna's inheritance.

Lorna had previously signed
a prenuptial agreement...

that limited the amount
she could inherit.

-And you changed that?
-I did.

But it was against
my better judgment.

I tried to talk to Henry privately,
but Lorna insisted on being present.

-[Lawyer] Thank you.
-Henry wanted the changes...

because he was tired of
his children taking advantage of him.

-Didn't he even say that?
-No.

My mistake. But you wouldn't have
made any of the changes Lorna asked for...

if you suspected Henry Flood lacked the
capacity to make the decision, would you?

'Cause that would be improper
on your part, wouldn't it?

Would you or wouldn't it?
What's your answer, sir?

I'm confused.

Confused? You're being
used as a prosecutorial witness...

to convict a woman of murder,
and you sit here confused?

-Objection!
-Oh, pipe down, Mr. Chase!

Mr. Cage, don't be telling
opposing counsel to pipe down.

-This is my courtroom.
-I apologize, Your Honor.

I was merely attempting to
distract you from his unruly objection.

Mr. Shiplett,
it remains true, does it not,

that if you suspected Ms. Flood
of having any undue influence,

you, as a good and honorable attorney,
would have refused

to execute any changes in the will
which caused my client to inherit.

-True?
-At the time I executed those changes,

I had no inkling
she planned to kill him.

Okay. That's not
the answer I was looking for.

It's not that I'm against
singin' a song, Elaine.

It's just that I'm
not singin' backup for you.

I'm not asking for
you to sing backup. I just--

-Elaine.
-I'm not.

I'm just saying
that we do it together.

I think that would mean
a lot to Ally.

I take a verse,
you take a verse.

Nobody sings backup.
We're both equals.

-Ally will love it.
-I'd better not be singin' backup.

You're not.

Missing your youth a little, huh?

The minister was right.

I want to find God,
'cause deep down I'm hoping he's single.

It can't be that bad
getting older.

Well, easy for you to say.
You never had to do it.

You know what's getting me?

My twenties may turn out to be the best
years of my life,

and I have nothing to show for 'em.

Now that isn't true.

Is that all
you're gonna say?

I was so hoping you'd be
more profound dead.

I can't keep letting you appear like this,
you do know that?

I don't have the power.
You do know that?

Wow, it's me.

I should just tap my ruby slippers
together and take charge of my life.

Is that what
you've come to tell me?

That...
and happy birthday.

I'm not a performer, Elaine.

John, nobody's singing.
Nelle won't, Richard won't. It's her 30th.

Okay, I'll tell you what.
I'll let you take my allotted spot.

Really? No.
It's not good enough.

Elaine, I don't do birthday parties,
and I'm running late for court.

I thought you said
she was your best friend.

Does that mean
I have to sing about it?

-It means you should do something.
-I bought her a wonderful card.

-Oh, gee, great--
-Look, Elaine.

Think of what your life was
before she got here.

-What is that supposed to mean?
-Forget it.

You didn't even know me
before she got here.

Exactly.

Doctor, do you recognize what
is depicted in these photographs?

Yes. These are
the photos taken of the bite mark...

on Mrs. Flood's left breast
in the examining room that day.

And could you determine
how old the bite mark was?

[Doctor] It was a fresh bite,
no more than 24 hours old.

-Did you ask her about it?
-Yes.

She said her husband
probably bit her while she was sleeping.

She said she didn't
feel it.

Do you believe her?

No. A wound like
that, the pain would have woken her up.

-Anyone ever bite your breast, Doctor?
-Objection!

Withdrawn. Pain thresholds can
vary from person to person, correct?

Yes. But--

And the skin
was barely broken in this case.

[Chair Creaking]

I mean, the bite
we're talking about here was superficial.

-Not some deep flesh wound, right?
-Yes.

And some people sleep more
soundly than others, right?

-Oh, come on.
-You can't know with any degree...

of certainty whether the bite
would have woken her up, can you?

Given normal nerve ending sensation, it's
extremely unlikely she didn't feel it.

[Lorna] Are we in trouble?

The bite
mark isn't good, I won't lie to you.

Lorna, it might be time
to consider a plea.

-What?
-It doesn't look good.

He suffocates in your breasts,
you have a bite mark.

There's something
I should probably tell you.

What?

Lorna, what?

I actually got
that bite mark earlier.

-What do you mean "earlier?"
-Earlier that day.

-Why didn't you tell us this?
-Because it wasn't Henry who bit me.

You sing the second verse.

-And you take the first one?
-So what?

-There's no difference.
-Then I'll sing the first verse.

Renee, why are you being
such a problem?

Because I know you, Elaine.
I'll end up being chorus.

You sing the whole second verse,
for God sakes.

You have just
as much solo as me.

This is supposed to be for Ally,
Elaine. Not you.

I know that, so--

She'll be
havin' a better time with me singin' lead.

Neither of us is lead.
We're equals. It's a duet. God.

[Microphone Feeds Back]

He liked to nuzzle in
when we went to sleep.

-Nuzzle in?
-My breasts.

He liked to just snuggle
in there with his bald head.

I think it brought him
comfort.

-And this is the way you two fell asleep?
-Yes.

And when I woke up in the middle
of the night, something was wrong.

He wasn't breathing.

And I called 911 and
I tried to resuscitate him,

but he, um--

he had suffocated.

And you weren't aware
that--that some time during the night--

that they, uh--that-that
had-had happened?

No.

Now, Lorna, uh,
you told the police...

that Henry must have
bitten you in your sleep.

That wasn't the truth,
was it?

-No. And I regret ever saying that.
-Well, why did you?

Because I was afraid
the truth would hurt me.

What was the truth, Lorna?

I had a lover.

And we had made love
earlier that day,

-and it was he who bit me.
-[Spectators Murmuring]

-Settle down.
-Who was the man who bit you, Lorna?

His name was Arturo Sandoval.
He's actually arrived.

Oh, could you point him out
for the court, please?

He's right there.

This little man right here
is the person who bit you?

-Yes.
-So this talk about loving your husband,

that was a lie, wasn't it?

No. No, I loved Henry.

So, you just had physical needs that only
this tiny little man could fulfill?

-[Together] Objection.
-Sustained.

Henry knew about Arturo.
I told him.

Oh, he did? Well,
why didn't you tell the police?

-Because I knew how it would make me look.
-So you lied.

-Well, I--
-You lied.

-Didn't you, ma'am?
-[Together] Objection!

-Go ahead. You were first.
-No, you. Please?

-Hey.
-Ms. Flood, you did lie, didn't you?

Yes.

[Knocking]

-Ally?
-Lisa.

Hey.

I came to apologize.

You're not wrong for wanting to
meet and fall in love with Mr. Penis Head.

[Groans]
Thank you.

You have to forgive
our minister.

We just did a recent survey
and 70% of our single congregants...

join church
to meet somebody.

He's frustrated.

Well, it's a lonely world,
Lisa.

I thought
you were over Billy.

I was.

I am.

But he--

He was still maybe my best friend
and the only childhood friend that I kept.

And--And as I see
my youth slipping away...

and losing the one connection
I had to it, I--

I don't--I don't know.

I-I--I just don't
do well with birthdays.

I hear they're throwing
you a big party.

They're trying.

Why don't you just sit back
and let them?

Sometimes you gotta
let the world be a party.

You came here to say that?

Actually, yes.

You were there to tell me
what I needed to hear once.

Now I'm tellin' you.

How about you come
to my party then?

-Ally. Just...

workin' on my...

closing.

John's doing the closing.

Oh. I must have
forgot. Gee.

Uh, they're playing
a joke on you, Mark.

There was no drawing out of a hat.
It was fixed.

They--They want to get
you up on stage to embarrass you.

It was sort of, um,
an initiation thing.

Anyway, I find it
a little mean,

so I'm just gonna tell them
that you already gave me...

a private performance in your office,
okay? [Laughs]

Okay. Thanks.

Uh, Ally?

Nobody here likes me,
do they?

Well, no, that isn't true.

No, we all do.
It's just that, um--

Well, you know,
this-this place is-is very--

Close-knit.

Yeah.

[Locking Briefcase]

Well, it's just as well. Saves me time.
I really have to get to court.

Thanks again.

You might say
why not wait for him to die?

The guy was 89.
How far away could death be?

Well, the problem is she needed him
to pass away before he changed his mind.

Before he realized it was
all about the money to her.

Henry Flood
was not so feeble...

that he couldn't have moved Lorna Flood
slightly so he could take a breath.

He could have turned his head.
A person suffocating would have done so.

He had to have been held.
Forced.

Three to four minutes pressing
herself against his airway.

This was no accident.

This was a murder.
She lied to the police.

Come on.
How likely is it...

for a person to accidentally
suffocate under another person?

You hear about that accident
all the time, don't you?

Oh, yes. And we hear about breast
suffocations frequently too, don't we?

Were there any bruises or
marks on his neck and shoulders?

Now she had to have been
holding him pretty tight.

And an 89-year-old person
would bruise.

And consider this.
Why would Lorna Flood,

knowing that she had
this bite mark on her breast,

choose that night
to smother somebody?

That would seem pretty
ill-conceived, wouldn't it?

I mean, why not just wait at
least till the bite wound healed?

Yes, she lied about
who bit her.

She was afraid that
it might seem incriminating...

if she were caught
having an affair.

Why would a vibrant,
young woman marry an older man?

Had to be after his money. She couldn't
possibly love him. Had to be about greed.

Well, I tell you what.

It's your right to believe that,
if you're so inclined.

You're free to conclude
that she was just a gold digger.

She was never really
in love with him.

You're free to say that she was
an adulterous. I mean,

she was having that affair.

But a murderer?

You're not free to conclude that,
ladies and gentlemen.

Certainly not beyond
a reasonable doubt.

Now their whole case...

was innuendo
and a bite mark.

We've shown you
somebody else bit her.

That leaves innuendo.

And ladies and gentlemen,
you can't convict with that.

No, you can't.

Happy Birthday, Ally.

[Glasses Breaking]

-[Guests Chattering, Shouting]
-[Cat Screeches]

-Is it swollen?
-Not as bad as Ally's lips.

It's-It's fine, Elaine.

I can't believe it. I try to
celebrate in the style of your birthday...

and she turns into an animal.

You stepped on my verse,
you hog!

-I did not. You jumped in.
-[Ally] All right, all right.

The song was over. You were both great.
Can we just get by it?

-[Microphone Feeds Back]
-[John] Um, could I have your attention?

Uh, I'm very nervous,
so if I st-st--stutter.

Well, it's happened,
so the pressure is off.

Uh, on this, the occasion
of Ally's 30th birthday, um,

I thought--well, I mean,
those of us who know Ally...

know her to be very old.
[Stammering]

Very odd.

I mean very odd
in a special way.

And, uh,
I am as well, so...

it's-it's symbolic that I step into
the spotlight and actually sing a song,

because Ally's
the person who--

well, brought me out.

Before I knew her, I was,
uh, a bit of a recluse.

Uh, a lawyer savant.

And, uh, she somehow convinced me,
and I'm not even sure how,

that people who are somehow
different should not only come out,

but can, in fact,
take center stage.

So, Ally, here I am.
I'm center stage, here to sing for you.

I picked something from The Music Man,
which I know is your favorite.

And Renee is here to...

help me with some of the notes
that I can't hit, which there may be...

uh, quite a few, actually.

So, Renee?

-[Man] All right, Renee. Yeah!
-♪♪ [Piano]

-Why does she get to help?
-Shh!

-Calling me a hog.
-Shh!

To my best friend.

Mr. Foreman,
have you reached a verdict?

-We have, Your Honor.
-Will the defendant please rise?

What say you?

In the matter of
the Commonwealth versus Lorna Flood,

on the charge of murder
in the first degree,

we find the defendant,
Lorna Flood,

not guilty.

Thank you, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury. Case dismissed.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

-Mark? Thank you.
-You're welcome.

It really was an accident.
Do you care?

You have to understand, Lorna.
With an acquittal, it doesn't matter.

Okay, you get his hug too.

[Laughs]

Thank you.

No.

No, it was fine.
It--It wasn't tough, really.

I--I didn't think

You know, they all, uh--

It was just great.

I'm not alone.

Walk you home?

Uh, not tonight.

Thanks.
