Complete story — includes the ending
Eugene continues preparing to fire Alan, including swearing Tara to secrecy. Ellenor and Jamie take the case of an impoverished young widower accusing a doctor of malpractise after his wife died giving birth to their daughter. The kicker involves Massachusetts' legal limits on damages applicable to charity hospital care. Eugene and Jimmy plan to fire Alan without telling Ellenor, who is Alan's longtime friend, and they arrange to have the firm's computer access changed quickly. But Tara betrays her knowledge of the plan to Alan. [The final seven episodes of The Practice, as a story arc, function as a backdoor pilot for the spinoff series Boston Legal.]
