Storyline

Edit

To prepare to represent the Navy and the US by arguing a case before the Supreme Court of the US, the admiral conducts a weekend practice session, using Harriet as the clerk, Mac and Mic as associate justices, and Bud as the chief justice; Bud really enjoys playing his role as the head cat. Meanwhile Clark Palmer, a rogue agent from a discredited former federal agency, spooks Harm by playing with his mind; this time he involves LCdr. Jordi Parker, Harm's psychiatrist girlfriend. Harm chases through a rainstorm to Georgetown and back, just in time to rescue Jordi from Clark. Finally Mac informs the admiral that, on the eve of his big appearance, his case has suddenly became moot. —DocRushing

Jordy reflects on Clark Palmer

Bud Roberts practices as the Chief Justice to coach/challenge Chegwidden in rehearsing a plea before the US Supreme Court (assisted by Mic Brumby and Mac).

Clark Palmer gets to play about with Harm again (didn't this guy ever get a life? He is like something from the old "Terminator" films, but always obsessed with Harmon Rabb's life). The term "Wilderness of Mirrors" was introduced to "JAG" a couple of episodes earlier in S3, by Clayton Webb.

Cue another rubber mask, faked phone calls and a couple of lovely domestic scenes for Harm and Jordan before Palmer pops up again. Just occasionally, you feel that these two characters might have a chance at a "normal" relationship, then the writers tear them apart again for another hare-brained adventure.

Jordy never stops thinking (unlike the old "Meg Austin" character from season one) and upsets Clark Palmer's plan, which would have tricked Harm into firing a shot which would probably have killed her. Harm personally escorts Palmer back to jail.

However, Jordy doesn't know (yet) that Harm is thinking of going back to flying...
