By Alex Richmond | Season 5 | Episode 2 | Aired on 11.04.2001
Fish calls the meeting to order -- but where is everyone? John is all, what am I, your timekeeper? Ling and Nelle roll in.Glenn chomps on a burger. John snaps. Ally asks why everyone can't just decide to be in a good mood. JennyAlly is all, "LOVE her! When I grow up, I want to be [Ally]." Ew, Jenny just grossed me out. It's okay to think it, Jenny. But keep it all bottled up inside, will you, please? Jenny, Ally, and Glenn are chairing the telemarketer case (remember, from last week?), and as Jenny lays out the stakes (they need a strong deposition), Ally and Glenn exhange looks. Because Jenny has no edit button, she's all, what are you guys looking at? What, why? Tell me tell me tell me? Ally's all, it's nothing, you freak, and let's talk after the meeting. Elaine bursts in and says that Ling has a summons from the Chief Justice of the Superior Court. Ling wants to blow it off. Meeting over. Try to stay awake.
A sad piccolo plays as Ally and Jenny go to Ally's office. Ally's all, Jenny, you're intrusive and inappropriate, so please keep your mouth shut most of the time while you're in my presence. No, I wish. First, Ally doesn't like it when Jenny blurts that she thinks Ally finds a guy attractive. Jenny chirps, "That's just girl talk!" Can Ally finish? Jenny pushes her lips out and wiggles her shoulders back and forth, interrupting constantly, but Ally mentions everything Jenny has done over the last few days and asks her not to do it, though she does enjoy their friendship and wants to have "girl talk sessions" in the future. I guess when you think yourself to be someone's mentor, it's hard to come right out and correct someone's inappropriate behavior, particularly when that person doesn't know you're their mentor, and that every annoying thing they do is right on the money. Jenny's all, "I'm soooo sorry! God! It's only been three days and I already bug you!" Ally denies it. Jenny disagrees. Ally is all, "This bugs me." See? Jenny was right! And please tell me why Ally always wears a pink or red long-sleeved sweater with a dark bra underneath, while all her co-workers (except Elaine) wear jackets? Jenny has a nice blue, Gucci-looking jacket on. Jackets are good! Ally, take heed. You share the same hair, why not the same fashion sense? Jenny says that she thinks Ally is one of the most honest people she's ever met (in the last three days). Ally is all, aww, really? Shucks. You're right, I am awesome. I mean, honest. Then Jenny gets her by adding, since Ally is so very honest and truthful, it surprises her that Ally says she's not attracted to Glenn, since Jenny knows that Ally wants to jump his bones. A-HA! Ally rolls her eyes so much it looks like it hurts, then admits that she does think he's cute. But she's not going to date him. Jenny says she'd be all right with them dating, since Glenn is so great, and we already know how great Jenny thinks Ally is, and Ally says, "REALLY?!" A-ha again. But Ally said she's not going to date him, and that's so not that.
