...and then in his office, Eli is poking George to see if he's real. Heh. George politely asks him to stop, and Eli apologizes. "You're very solid for a vision!" George does not say, "You're not so bad yourself," which is how you know this is fiction. Well, that, and the disclaimers they're airing at the end of each episode STOP EMBARRASSING THE REST OF US YOU STUPID PEOPLE WHO CAN'T SEPARATE TRUTH AND FICTION. Seeing Bradley in the doorway, George suggests that Eli ask him if he can see anyone with him, and Eli complies. Bradley: "Of course, sir! That's Bono!" All right, I was wrong -- Bradley's an effeminate straight man. George removes his Bono-esque shades and says that happens all the time. "I had the glasses first, by the way." Heh. Put off by Eli's weirdness, George starts to leave, but Eli calls him back, apologizes, and asks what he can do for him. George tells him that he'd like Eli to take a case for him -- apparently a high-school girl got expelled for playing one of his songs at a school abstinence rally. After recalling that the expulsion was all over the news, Eli faux-casually asks what the song was again, and George responds, "I Want Your Sex." Eli: "Sorry, you're not my type." George just raises his eyebrows, like "We'll see what you say when we get to Golden Gate Park." George says he wants to sue to have her reinstated, and he'll pay all the legal fees. Eli tells George he couldn't say no to him (bamp chicka wow wow!) but asks why George picked him. George somewhat sheepishly tells him that a few nights before, he had a dream in which he was completely lost, until someone told him that he needed to find a lawyer...named Eli Stone. Eli looks happy, but if he ever again tries to claim that there's no method to his visions, I'm going to slap the smile right off his pretty, pretty face. Title card.

Eli tentatively knocks on Jordan's door, addressing him as "Mr. Weathersby" and asking if he was looking for him. Jordan bites out something about the termination of their relationship and the non-craving of the conversation on his part, but he understands that Eli's been retained by..."Who was it again? George Michael, the pop superstar?" Heh. Work that blasé attitude while you can, FanboyNumberOne. Side note, before we get to the good stuff: As much as I enjoyed the episode, would it not have been interesting to see Taylor's reaction to the news that the real George Michael showed up in Eli's life? (And not have had Nate completely ignore the same revelation?) They'd have to rethink things then, no? Anyway, Jordan cites some bylaw of the firm that says a partner has to oversee any case where the client has a high public profile. Surprisingly, Eli doesn't point out that the firm didn't follow that rule in Turk's case, as Jordan only came into the fray very late in that game, opting instead to note that George isn't actually the client in this case -- the girl is. Jordan, however, isn't interested in such technicalities, so Eli welcomes him to the case, using his, as Keckler so artfully pointed out, "Ferris Bueller meets Vince Vaughn" accent to inform Jordan that their client's name is "Molly Rogers." (Seriously, listen to Matthew Broderick say "Are you suggesting that I'm not who I say I am?" to the snooty maitre d' in that movie and tell me it doesn't sound awfully familiar.)
