About Drop Dead Diva‘s Season Five:
Picking up on this summer’s mid-season finale, Jane (Elliott) defends a former socialite, but her tactics put the firm in financial jeopardy and threatens its very existence. Meanwhile, Owen (Medlin) and Stacy (Bowlby) explore impending parenthood after Owen agrees to be her sperm donor. As the season continues, Grayson’s (Hurst) relationship with Nicole (Ilonzeh) develops further as Paul (Deeley) makes a play to convince Jane to move on and begin dating again.
And Teri (Cho), Jane’s faithful assistant, continues to shine while helping her with both work and her ever-complicated personal endeavors.
