Silver Bells (Ally McBeal)

"Silver Bells" is the second Christmas episode of the FOX series Ally McBeal, aired in the show's first season.

Synopsis
Three intelligent successful and motivated adults approach Judge Whipper Cone about the possibility of getting legal representation in their quest to have the courts approve a legal, binding, three-way marriage. Fish assigns Ally and Cage to the case, knowing her incurable romanticism and his legal acumen is a potent combination with Whipper assigned to the case. Ally is opposed, claiming the three-way relationship is morally repugnant, but Georgia, feeling punkish around the holidays, points out that the clients' triangle isn't very different from the one in which she, Ally, and Billy find themselves. She accuses Billy of being more relaxed and open in their marriage ever since Ally re-entered the picture. Whipper, experiences an annual bout of Holiday Blues, causes Fish to propose marriage, even though they both knew he really doesn't want to.
