Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley gave his TV lawyer a bizarre send-off gift in the series finale on Monday night - a necklace made up from the rubble of the World Trade Center. Ally's pal John Cage, played by Peter MacNicol, presented the ditzy legal eagle with the odd gift as a going-away present when Calista Flockhart's character announced she's quitting the company and leaving Boston. The bizarre finale also featured the return of departed stars Courtney Thorne-Smith, Lisa Nicole Carson and Gil Bellows, who came back from the dead as Billy to wish his ex-lover well on her travels and share a last kiss. There was also a dream wedding sequence, which saw Ally saying 'I do' to Billy, a cameo for holograms of Bill and Hilary Clinton, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and baseball star Babe Ruth, and a farewell performance by Barry White. More than 11 million viewers tuned in for the last ever episode.
