Meanwhile at JAG HQ, a TV commercial director Renee Peterson arrives to shoot an advertisement enticing people to become JAG attorneys for the Navy. Problem is, that she finds routine run of the mill work at JAG to be boring administrative work, and she can't grasp the significance of trying certain weirdly named breaches of military discipline. Then there is the fact that with a few exceptions, most people at JAG lead ordinary lives. She cannot compete with other commercials "selling" the more glamorous combat branches of the navy. She needs to find someone who leads an exciting life.
