Synopsis:

> This is the one where Victor Bon Jovi serenades a gal with "Some Enchanted Evening" while the female viewers try not to swoon themselves right off the sofa.

First off Raymond was hired by Ally to work for the firm with the promise of achieving partner in three years. Despite Claire’s incessantly hilarious flirtations Raymond decided to sign on.

Do you think Raymond’s charms are irresistible or should he have been kicked to the curb with Glenn and Jenny?

While Victor and Raymond have the market cornered on handsome suave, Richard has um, with John still missing, humiliation is still up for grabs. Due to a wayward case, Richard told Claire about losing his virginity in high school and being ditched the following Monday. With the best intentions Claire arranged for Fish to confront said hussy, only they found out that Gerry Bird is now a man.

As Claire and the usuals sang at the bar in Richard’s mortified honor, Nelle summed things up for Richard by declaring that it was his homophobic karma come back to bite him.

Are Richard and Claire’s antics enough to satisfy your tastes for John’s quirkiness or are you eagerly awaiting a return appearance?

Victor does not have the quirk, what he has is an effervescent cool heretofore unknown on this show. Like any good Fonzie when sickly Helen mistook him for his look-alike Vincent the love of her life (and former owner of Ally’s home) he played along to make her last days better, little things, like that serenade. If Ally wasn’t in love before....

Would you like to learn more about Victor or is he better as this kind of ethereal man of mystery?

Just as Maddie thought she was getting to know Ally, new mom springs the idea of DNA tests on her because of these nightmares she’s having. Maddie, hurt, ran back to Aunt Bonnie before Ally feebly explained that she just wanted a legal claim on her daughter so she can never be taken away. So when the tests arrived, Ally collapsed to the floor in tears of happiness.

At the same time Ally received her good news Victor was hit hard by the passing of Helen. Ally admired him for being able to care for people so deeply in such a short amount of time. Rather than let him go off alone, Ally put on a CD of South Pacific and she and her handyman danced to "Some Enchanted Evening."
