Jeremy Fitzgerald is considered the best immigration attorney in New York City, and he agrees to see Natasha and do what he can to help reverse her deportation notice. However, his day begins to take unexpected turns when Donald Christainsen runs into him with his car in the morning, injuring him and precipitating his realization and eventual confession that he's in love with Hannah Winter, his paralegal. Though Jeremy makes several appointments to help Natasha, he doesn't attend those appointments and instead spends the afternoon at a hotel with Hannah. As such, he's unable to reverse the deportation notice. Daniel realizes in the evening that Jeremy is the one who is supposed to conduct his interview for admission to Yale. During their interview, Jeremy encourages Daniel to mess up while he's young and the consequences are minimal, while also encouraging him to consider Yale as a stepping-stone. Though he doesn't tell Daniel the truth about why he couldn't help Natasha, Daniel is still distraught. Later, Jeremy chooses to leave his wife for Hannah, causing lasting emotional damage to his children with his first wife.

Quotes
I open my mouth to ask for more facts and specifics. I find them reassuring. The poem comes back to me. "'Hope' is the thing with feathers." I close my mouth. For the second time today I'm letting go of the details. Maybe I don't need them. It would be so nice to let someone else take over this burden for a little while.
