When this series started, Ally the child has her life long love, Billy. Then as things unfold early on, he leaves her. Ally finishes law school, goes to Boston, and somehow winds up joining the Fish and Cage law firm. Then -presto, the love of her life- Billy is working there too. Then the dream gets interrupted like a scratched record. Billy married the beautiful Georgia when he left her. Presto, she is working there too.
Ally, always a little on edge and the ultimate self-centered woman. Meanwhile, she makes friends with Billy's wife. This triangle has given us a lot of entertainment. Shocks have been building though as Billy suddenly seems to be going off the end even deeper than Ally. He loses Georgia and starts seeing even more things than his soul mate Ally.
Now the triangle is totally destroyed. Ally and Georgia have both gotten to where they are not really into Billy because he has become so strange. Turns out in his case, Billy has a brain tumor. Realistically, like in real life, the tumor is getting worse and worse. Something needs to be done.
Unfortunately, the climax is here. While the Doctor is supposed to operate soon, it's too late. The tumor takes Billy away. Ally reacts predictably really. She embellishes the memory of Billy before he had the tumor after his tragic death, in court. His last lines are even an emotional stab at Ally's heart with him saying in court they are married 12 years with children.
Partly because of his last behavior, she regresses backward to remember the good things. Ally and the series will miss Billy, and in fact it makes the Cage and Fish firm weaker. Still this is a climax which is going to make the series evolve from here in new directions. It is like Henry Blake leaving MASH. Billy will remain in Ally's heart and try to kick her into a harsh reality, that she desperately needs to move on now.
