watch online Boston Legal season 5 episode 4
True Love
Airs: Monday October 13, 2008
Alan Shore is called upon by ex-flame Phoebe Prentice to prove her husband’s innocence in the murder of a nurse. But deep down, Alan’s unrequited love for Phoebe makes him hope that her husband is guilty so that they can rekindle their relationship.
David E. Kelley’s spin-off from ‘The Practice,’ set at a high-priced Boston law firm, plays smartly on the chemistry between James Spader (as wry and wily lawyer Alan Shore) and William Shatner (as flamboyant, eccentric partner Denny Crane). Both won Emmys when they introduced the roles on ‘The Practice.’ Apart from benefiting from a ‘Desperate Housewives’ lead-in, ‘Boston Legal’ got a ratings boost when Candice Bergen came aboard as no-nonsense partner (and Crane’s ex-lover) Shirley Schmidt.
