i really do wonder HOW it is that mia wound up taking phoenix under her wing. like phoenix was only the second person she'd ever defended and clearly she would've worked at grossberg law offices for a while longer before moving out and starting her own office. was phoenix (obsessive freak that he is) coming to watch all the other trials she defended in or something. when word got out that she started her own law office did phoenix show up on the office's doorstep for the first time to offer his congratulations (maybe he brought flowers or something) while mia was just standing there like how the fuck did he even find out i was starting my own office that fast....guess he's still as insane as ever. and then phoenix started talking about how much progress he'd made with his law degree and asked if she would please please please consider letting him intern there even if it was only for a little while and mia, thinking about all the paperwork she very much did not want to do and thinking about how much she missed maya and how this dumbass kid sort of reminded her of maya, was just like. yeah fuck it why not. here's my business card. i'll get back to you

#the part where she thinks phoenix has actual potential as a lawyer comes way later. you gotta remember that at the #beginning of 1-2 maya says that mia told her that under no circumstances should she let phoenix defend her before he got #WAY more experience under his belt because. while he might've just shown his potential in 1-1. he was also a greenhorn #genuinely i think for at least a little bit at the beginning of their relationship the dynamic was less #'mentor&student' and more 'mia & the dorky wannabe lawyer that follows her around'#like she EVENTUALLY came to see his potential. slowly. over the time that they worked together #but i mean. cmon. he ate evidence at a trial. that leaves a fucking impression #i think about it sometimes
