This season is most famous for "The Puppy Episode" outing the fictional Ellen Morgan, which aired on the same day Ellen DeGeneres came out on Oprah. Almost every episode beforehand contained several hints.
A visit from Richard, an old boyfriend, and his female boss, Susan (Laura Dern), makes Ellen gradually realize she's gay. Ellen has dinner with Richard but winds up in a late-night conversation with Susan after being unable to have sex with Richard. Ellen discusses these developments with her new therapist (Oprah Winfrey).
Ellen comes out to her friends, who all take it well except Paige, and thinks she is getting closer to Susan. She is disappointed to learn that Susan is in a long-term committed relationship.
