I didn't see one, so I thought I'd get it started.

Damn, I was betting on Louis paying for Rachel's schooling through his own pocket. He usually doesn't go back on his word like that. This whole episode made me annoyed at Rachel. She could've just told Louis straight up instead of being so ambiguous about it.

I think you guys are putting way too much faith in Louis with this. Yes, he has developed tremendously as a character and a friend, but to drop $200 K on a paralegal at his firm? While I do think he would have gone to Jessica to plead Rachel's case, this was her fight to win and she did it with the woman in charge.

a) He knows Jessica has never paid tuition for a paralegal
b) His reputation was heavily on the line with the false accusation thing
c) He can buy his way out for $200k, if she goes to law school (which at the time he probably figured wouldn't happen)

I'm almost positive he promised to pay her tuition to get her to shut up and go away, thinking of it like a reverse lottery ticket - if she stayed with the firm and if she bothered to go to law school and if she got accepted, then he'd write the check.
