Ally McBeal Season 5 Episode 8

Overview
Jenny’s mom’s wedding is approaching, and Ally is shocked when Tim gives her a certain look that suggests a move. She talks to Jenny, and they decide to test him. Ally makes a move on him, and he offers her to have an affair. Surprisingly, Jenny’s mom is ok with that, which only confuses Ally more. She’s been hallucinating with a 7-year-old boy who keeps saying she’s killing him. The boy is a version of Ally from when she believed in love (a conclusion made by Richard), before Billy died and Larry left. Meanwhile, John and Coretta help Kimmie Bishop, who’s back suing a matchmaker for saying she’s “unmatchable”.
