19. Lizzie is fired from her job at Chaz's father's high-profile law firm. Why?
From Quiz The "Queen of Babble" is back in the big city.
Answer:
The press finds out she is refurbishing a wedding dress for a high-profile client, which is a conflict of interest.
Lizzie is interning for a French couple, who are certified wedding gown restorers; after her experiment with the dress in France, she knows this is her career path. At her law firm job, she meets a woman named Jill who is well-known in the "New York Journal" for being engaged to the son of one of New York's most wealthy families. Jill's future mother-in-law hates the fact that Jill works in a zoo, not least because she assumes Jill is after her son's money, so Jill is forced to negotiate a prenup at the law firm. The press has a field day with her because she isn't a conventional society bride, and call her Blubber. The mother-in-law expects Jill to wear her family's tartan wedding gown, which is hideous, and Lizzie offers her services to Jill. The press finds out and does a spread on the designers, which, though it brings great business for the failing store, is a breach of Lizzie's contract. Her boss lets her go. But it works out for the best, as Lizzie is able to negotiate a salary at the store by proving herself to the doubting Thomases, who were reluctant to hire her at the beginning.
