菲什（Fish）和凯奇（Cage）担心公司赚不到足够的钱而感到不安，于是决定聘请另一位合伙人，一位可以吸引利润丰厚客户的造雨人。 他们聘请了内尔·波特（Nelle Porter），这是一家颇受人尊敬的公司的20世纪20年代晚期诉讼律师。 在第一天，内尔设法激怒了盟友，佐治亚州和伊莱恩，但菲什和凯奇似乎对她很满意。 艾莉（Ally）在30岁晚期的一名妇女中被控与未成年人发生性关系。 当男孩作证时，Ally发现自己被他吸引了。 纪念PHIL LEEDS 1916年4月16日至1998年8月16日

  Feeling nervous that the firm is not making enough money, Fish and Cage decide to hire another associate, a rainmaker who can bring in lucrative clients. They hire Nelle Porter, an attractive, late 20's litigator from a respectable firm. On her first day, Nelle manages to irritate Ally, Georgia and Elaine, but Fish and Cage seem very pleased with her. Ally defends a woman in her late-30's accused of having sex with a minor. When the boy testifies, Ally finds herself attracted to him. In Memory of PHIL LEEDS April 16, 1916 - August 16, 1998
