After acquiring her dream dress, Elle goes to dinner with Warner, where he tells her that he needs someone more serious and breaks up with her. She is devastated and sulks for twelve days („Daughter Of Delta Nu“), but decides to sue Warner at Harvard Law School to show him that she is serious. With the help of Kate, Delta Nu`s sister, she studies for LSAT. Instead of writing a personal essay, she burst into Harvard`s admissions offices, aided by a group of cheerleaders.

After leaving Legally Blonde, Karl immediately followed with the lead role alongside Allison Janney in the Broadway musical adaptation of 9 to 5.

He worked off-Broadway in The Last Seder in 2012 before playing Rocky Balboa in Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty`s Rocky, for which he received a Tony nomination.
He then returned to Roundabout in One The Twentieth Century alongside Kristin Chenoweth as Bruce Granite, another comedic role, and received a second Tony nomination.

She goes to the Hair Affair salon, where she meets beautician Paulette, who, after advising Elle that all bad hair choices are motivated by love, tells Elle about her dreams of meeting a handsome Irishman („Ireland“), and encourages her not to give up or minimize her personal qualities.
