Previously on Delilah.

Tamara called me today. She set me up.
Delilah, I want this case to end. Do you

want to take a beat? It might simplify
things a little.

Just wondering if you want to come and
visit tomorrow night.

I'll try to make it by 8.

I still love you, Chris.

I don't know what to say.

Just let you think about it. I'm not
sure I can, Nate.

These reports, they didn't happen to
come from Gary Shays, did they? Give me

those files, Delilah. I've read the
reports.

Finding Rick Pattengill.

There's a job one on that front. What
the hell's going on here? Ms. Conley,

you're under arrest for tampering with
evidence and obstruction of justice.

Where's Auntie Delilah?

She had to pull an all -nighter at the
office on a big case. She's not

my texts.

Her phone must have died.

She was going to call for the office
line to check in. I just told you she's

busy. I'm sure she'll call as soon as
she can.

She is ruining my life.

Mom was supposed to sign some
applications so Maya can go fart and

violin at some fancy conservatory.

Does it mean you're taking us to school?

Indeed it does.

Cool. I got something.

I'm hungry.

You and me both, big man.

You ever heard of an Egg McMuffin?

I'm about to change your world.

Let's go ahead and get you dressed.

How could Bob...

Thank you for bringing me out so
quickly.

I'll write you a check for the thousand
you paid the bonds with.

It's a day.

Kids must be so freaked out. Oh, Mace
covered for you and got them all to

safely. And Harper reimbursed me with
petty cash. All good. Oh, look at the

you do. Looking another like a teen.

That was all Harper. She wanted to make
sure you didn't have any problems

getting out. She knows her stuff. We're
paralegal. Well, she did go to the

hospital.

And... Is he even finished?

Life doesn't always work out the way you
plan.

I never thought that taking Cindy Shea's
files would land me in jail. Well,

imagine how fast those files would have
ended up in some basement shredder if

you hadn't.

I know that it's the right thing for the
case.

As a lawyer, I know that.

But as a mother, spending the night in
jail, not ideal.

Of course, my phone is dead.

Okay, I'm tracking our driver now. Once
Eric gets here, you can use mine.

Thank you.

It's all such a mess.

You are not wrong about that.

I was going to wait until we got back to
the office to tell you this.

Tell me what?

Your father pulled me aside this morning
when I went in to post your bail.

He said he was keeping his distance to
make sure there was no appearance of

impropriety.

He watched his own daughter get dragged
off in handcuffs and did nothing like

he's done for the last...

30 years of my life. And now he's
talking about impropriety. I'm just a

messenger. Okay. Okay?

But, um, he wanted me to give you this.

The police got an anonymous tip last
night.

Leah's laptop was found in the dumpster
behind her apartment. Your father copied

the hard drive before they turned it
over to Oscar.

Well, that's good.

It would be.

Except that the area where they found it
requires a resident key.

And Leah did not report her stolen.

Hey, Siri, call Maya.

You've reached Maya Layton.

Hey, it's Mom.

I got your text. I'm fine.

I also got the Preston Conservatory
application that you sent.

We'll talk about that after school
today. I promise.

Love you.

Dean!

I just called your office and Harper
said you were here. Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

I'm upstairs getting dressed.

Right. Gordon, she's in a client
meeting.

Mm -hmm.

Did you bail her out? Yes. She'll be in
soon.

You know what? I will tell her you
called.

Thank you, Gordon.

Leah's double prep was rescheduled for
this morning. I think I should

it. Don't reschedule it.

Well, I was thinking of pushing it till
tomorrow to give Delilah a little time

today to regroup. I wouldn't.

The trial is only a few weeks away, and
now we're going to be pulling double

duty fighting those evidence tampering
charges.

I understand that the trial is a
priority, but getting arrested is

She might need a beat.

I'll put it to her.

She's going to be fine.

If anything, I think this will make her
fight even harder to win.

Come on.

Sorry to come by and announce. I left my
books for my 11 a .m. here. I'm glad

you're here. I want to talk about the
other day.

There's nothing left to talk about.

Katya, please, just wait a minute. I'm
done waiting, Gordon.

Now you can have your key and your life
back.

Katya, listen to me.

I don't want to lose you. What can I do
to fix this? Honestly, I don't know

anymore. Look, I told Delilah about us,
even though I know it's going to make

her angry.

Clearly, that's not enough for you. Six
months ago, it might have been. If you

want to move in, let's talk about it.
Let's figure something out. I'm done

talking, Gordon.

I need you to show me that you're
actually serious about our future. You

know if I'm serious?

Yes, I do.

Come over tonight.

Meet my kids.

Getting thrown into a cop car like that?

That is my worst nightmare.

Thank you.

You want me to... You want me to make
you some... Some eggs or... The coffee's

great.

Okay.

Whew, girl.

When Maya texted me saying that you
never came home last night, I was so

something bad happened. I didn't mean to
worry you, but I got one call.

You know I would have stayed with the
kids, Dee.

You know no matter what, right?

I always got your back with the kids,
Casey, too, no matter what. I know.

Mace was just easier. I mean, has this
case put such a strain on our friendship

that you can't even call me for help? I
just said Mace was easier.

Not easier than me.

It ain't that simple anymore.

I thought if I told you that I got
arrested that you would have no choice

use it in court to exclude Gary Shays'
files.

My best evidence.

Am I wrong?

D, I'm duty -bound to my client to give
him the best defense possible.

And I still pray that this case gets
settled before we go to court. But if it

doesn't, I will ask the judge to exclude
evidence if there's cause to do so. And

that doesn't make me a bad person, D.

It doesn't even make me a bad friend.

It makes me a good lawyer.

So I'm not wrong.

You can't have it both ways.

Hey, man.

It's been a while, huh?

Yeah.

Um... Christine.

Want me to stop by?

What's that?

Divorce papers.

Are you two...

Can't even look at me? I don't know what
to say, Nate. You can start by telling

me the truth.

You were supposed to be my friend, and I
trusted you. Look, Nate, I don't want

to get into this with you right now.

All right?

Fine.

I see the kind of man you are, Andre.

And even in this stupid wheelchair, I'm
more of a man than you.

Get out of my room.

Before we get into preparing you for
this deposition, I just need to know.

Is there anything on that laptop you
wanted to hide?

Nothing. Except for some embarrassing
pictures, and Delilah's already seen

those. Mm -hmm.

But nothing incriminating? Come on.

Nothing.

You do understand that whoever tried to
destroy your laptop had the key to your

building. Are you suggesting that I
staged a break -in and wrecked my own

apartment?

Opposing counsel will suggest you did.
I'm sorry I'm late.

Dee, can you please tell them that you
were on the phone with me when the

intruder took my stuff? I was. I didn't
do this.

Did someone else have a key to your
place?

My mom had one.

And I Airbnb'd the place a couple times.

And Fred had one, but he gave it back.

Is there any possibility he had a copy
made?

Obviously he did.

And you have no idea why Osborne would
want that laptop back?

I have no idea.

Look, I don't think I'm ready to do
this. Leah, if you don't do prep today,

only person who loses is you. You have
to use the anger and the fear to fuel

your passion to win this case.

Let me compose myself.

I'll come back and we can get started.

This was Osborne's plan.

My arrest excludes Gary Shea's file from
trial. And all we'll have is Leah's

testimony, which will be worthless if it
looks like she tried to destroy

evidence.

Without knowing exactly what I'm looking
for, it could take weeks to go through

everything on here.

I'll look for things specific to Gary
Shea and Rick Pattengill.

I'll let you know as soon as I find
anything. If I find anything.

Thank you.

And thank you for watching the kids last
night.

It was nothing.

We had fun.

Sorry to interrupt you.

You're not.

I should get back to work. You might
have some explaining to do with Maya.

not sure she totally bought my cover
story.

Okay.

Harper, is everything okay?

Yeah, of course.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I was upset at first, but with the
long distance, I see what this is.

Intimidation. Yeah.

Can I get you anything? I can make you
some tea. No, I'm good on the tea.

Thanks. Okay.

Have Demetria draft up an amended
complaint in the Osborne case.

Sure. Thank you.

What's the amendment?

Whistleblower retaliation.

I wasn't even aware there was a break
-in at Leah Davis' apartment.

You were named as a suspect on the
police report that was filed. Were you

questioned by the police?

No. Was there something on her laptop
that you were concerned about?

Standard company policy.

She was my executive assistant for
several years, kept my calendars, had

to my emails.

How's it going in here?

Good. I think we're about done.

You're not going to question my motives
or impugn my integrity ten different

ways tonight?

There's no need. You're obviously an old
pro at being deposed.

You'll be pleased to know Tamara has put
together an airtight motion to exclude

Gary Shea's files from evidence should
this go to trial.

Well, that's fantastic news.

Maybe Wynn's right about you.

Maybe you are one of the good ones.

What did he mean by that exactly?

I have no idea.

Listen, as far as the firm is concerned,
this case is now a fait accompli.

Without Gary Shea's files, our opponents
won't have any actual evidence of a

cover -up.

I think it's time to get a dinner with
my father on the books to discuss your

partnership. That would be great.

How's tomorrow night?

7 .30?

Have Jane send me the details.

Wonderful. Oh, and make sure to bring
Casey if you can.

Here is the amended complaint for Ms.
Connolly to review.

Oh, that's a fact.

There's no time to waste. Now I'm
working on the affidavit to get those

tampering charges dropped. Well, I'm
sure she would appreciate that. Would

be willing to help me do a little
research?

Sure, Demetria.

What research?

Any local case precedent involving
wrongful arrest or misconduct, you know.

I'd love to see the file from that
Django case about the woman who was put

the mental hospital for driving a nice
car.

You know, that was a little before I was
here.

Could you still help me find it?

I think it's a little out of my depth.

Delilah said you went to law school
before.

If you don't mind my asking, where'd you
go?

NCCU.

That's a good school.

Yeah.

What happened?

Just wasn't the right time.

Well,

I think you'd make a great attorney.

And I'm sure you could handle the
research I need. Should you decide to

yourself in that way?

Yeah. We need more black female Esquires
representing. You should consider going

back. I'll think about it. Yeah.

I'd be more than happy to help you prep
to retake the LSAT. Should you decide to

reapply? I saved all my studies. I said
I'll think about it.

your face and have a snack lord knows
what gold is gonna have for you at his

house i'm not hungry so what's the look
there's no look

i promise that i will read over the
present conservatory application while

you're at your dance and it's too late
how can it be auditions were first come

first serve and the last one got filled
this morning i could have gotten one if

you have been here last night

I'm sorry I didn't get to it sooner.

Where were you?

They told you.

That you had some all -nighter at the
office?

I thought we told the truth in this
house.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to tell you because I
didn't want to scare you. I wasn't here

night because I got arrested.

You got arrested? You were in jail?

Yes, but I did not.

Hurt anyone, I want you to know I didn't
do anything bad.

And the police didn't hurt me.

It was just a big misunderstanding.

Everything is under control.

I'm fine.

I promise.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Me too.

Yay! Can your old man get some of that?

Hey, baby girl.

You guys ready?

Yeah. Let's get your stuff.

What's going on?

Somebody tell me what's going on. I was
just talking to the kids about a

misunderstanding that happened last
night. I was arrested.

Arrested? But I'm fine. I promise.

What'd they arrest you for?

It was a misunderstanding.

About what?

A case I'm working on?

What happened with the kids?

Mace came over.

I would have come and picked them up. It
wasn't a night. Nights be damned.

Mace handled it.

They're fine.

Kids, go in the car.

Why? They're fighting.

No one's fighting me in the bed.

Katya's meeting the kids tonight.

Because I didn't call you.

No. It's been the plan. And I told you
that that wasn't happening until we

talked about it. And I told you it is.

Furthermore, it's my business.

No.

Any woman that you bring around my
children is my business. So is any man

bring around our children.

He's had a decency to tell you first.

Bring out that competitive dog.

Whatever.

Want a breather?

Yeah.

Babe,

do you have any plans tomorrow night?

Why? What's up?

The winds.

They invited us to dinner.

Finally get to meet the infamous wins,
huh?

I'll clear my schedule.

I mean, you're not obligated to come, I
mean, you know.

Do you not want me there?

No, I want you there.

But... Is it possible for you to come

as my fiancé and not the deputy mayor?

Babe, I am the death she met. I mean,
for one night.

Could you be my significant other?

Sounds like you want me to be your
insignificant other. But yeah, I could,

know, drink Chardonnay with the wives.

Stop. You know what I mean.

I do.

And yeah, I will.

Okay. And don't forget, the day after
tomorrow, you're taking off the whole

for wedding stuff.

How about you just manage my whole
calendar?

I don't want to manage it, babe.

I just want to dominate every single
part of it. Yeah, that's about right.

What? Well, by the way, that was a joke.

I don't want you on your phones all
night.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Dad, please.

I'm hungry.

Look, she'll be here in a minute.

And Marcus, I'm serious.

Be nice to her, okay? I'm always nice.

Hey, everybody.

Hey. Hey, kids, this is

Katya, my girlfriend.

Katya, this is my wonderfully talented,
beautiful daughter, Maya, and my ever

-oh -so -cool son, Marcus.

It's nice to finally meet you both.

Your dad has told me so much about you.
It's nice to meet you, too. Yeah, yeah,

it's very nice to meet you.

Can we eat now? Your dad told me you
liked brownies, so I made these from

scratch for you.

Brownies after dinner. Let's eat.

Party's the first.

You blocked my... Right here, right
here. Oh, this was a popular movie about

superhero. A black superhero.

Katya's my new partner at the Champions.

Spoken, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, is
that right? Well, guess what, champ?

time to clean up.

You can't say black in the end, so you
know that. Oh, hater.

So?

How'd you meet my dad?

Um, at school.

Oh, you're a professor.

That's so cool. What do you teach?

Oh, no. Sorry.

I'm still a student.

I'm double majoring in economics and
comparative literature.

A Lila?

A Davidson.

Um, that's where you met my dad.

Yeah.

I should, uh, go help clean up.

Excuse me.

She wants full custody.

In the house.

She doesn't want full custody.

It says right there. No.

I've seen this before with other family
law cases that I've worked on.

This is just a bargaining chip that
she's using.

What she really wants is the house.

She can have the house.

No. The house is half yours.

I can't risk losing this car.

Nate, six months, no contact, no
support.

Legally speaking, that's abandonment.

We can fight to terminate our parental
rights.

You talking about all the time he's been
living with you? I've been nice about

it, but legally?

Abandonment.

I don't want to do that.

She's doing it to you.

You need to call her bluff.

Who's in the room?

It's Christine.

She says she's going to pick him up at
your place tomorrow.

Oh, suddenly now she's interested?

What did you say?

That you'd have his bags packed?

She's his mother.

Hey, you know, we got to come up with a
winning strategy because I cannot have

Marcus gloating about beating me that
bad.

I remember hearing you and mom fighting
over another woman before your

divorce.

Is Katia the same Katia?

Sweetheart, your mother in Iowa broke us
up.

And it wasn't an easy decision.

End of discussion. I don't like your
dad.

Two seemed to get along fine.

Yeah, until she said she's a student.

And now the thought of her makes me feel
like I might vomit.

Maya, that is not fair to Katya. I'm not
going to be forced to spend time with

her. I need you to please understand
that your mother and I did everything

we could to save our marriage.

But it was over long before Katya came
into the picture.

This is supposed to be our time with
you, not hers.

I hear you, sweetheart.

I do. I really do.

But I suggest that you...

Get used to Katya being here because I
asked her to move in. And as your

who loves you very much, I need you to
respect me by respecting her.

I love you.

Ma 'am, I already spoke with the
admissions advisor this morning, and he

all about our family situation. He asked
me to reach out to you.

Is there anything that you can do to
open up an audition slot for my

My firm could offer pro bono hours to
the school, perhaps?

Connelly Law Firm.

We litigate a lot of discrimination
cases.

Demetria has something.

Give me one minute. Okay.

Maya Layton.

Yes.

Anything you can do would be greatly
appreciated. Your assistant has my

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Hey, beautiful.

I'm actually calling for some business
advice.

How can I help?

I got a letter today from a bunch of
Charlotte business owners regarding our

reparations referendum.

Let me guess.

They're opposed?

Yeah.

You think you can take a look at it and
give me a legal opinion on how best to

respond? Doesn't the city have lawyers
who can give you advice?

I'd like a second opinion.

Maybe we can talk about it over a glass
of wine this evening?

Sure.

My place, around 8 -ish. I'll take you
to the address.

And dry white are my favorite.

You're a lady after my own heart.

May found these wire transfer receipts
on Lee's hard drive and from Osborne to

Pine City Trust LLC.

I called the Secretary of State's
office. The president of Pine City Trust

Rick Pattengill.

What are the payments for? They're
listed as consultant fees, but my guess

they're payoffs. If we can prove that...
You may not need Gary Shea's files to

prove there was a cover -up. These wire
transfers might be our smoking guns.

And that's if we can find Rick Pat and
Gillen Deposin, correct? That's correct.

And the wire transfers are in some
untraceable offshore account.

Oh, they do go to an offshore account,
but we were able to trace it to Belize

City. Belize. But Pine City Trust has a
mailing address, P .O. Box, here in

Charlotte. I think we can find it.

Great work, both of you. Well, school
over here is good.

Harper?

You told her I went to law school?

What's the problem with that?

She should know what you're capable of.
The problem is you're telling her my

business. No, no, the problem is she's
been giving me nothing but side -eye

since I started. Now she's standing here
acting like a victim. This is a private

conversation. Child, go on and say what
you need to say to my face.

This time, so we can clear the air, I'm
running out of sage. And I'm running out

of patience.

If she said it's private, there's a
reason for it. So let's be sensitive to

other and respect that. I'm trying to
respect this, but she needs to hear

Darling, we all got baggage.

I have my own matching set, but I don't
bring it to work with me. How could you?

You take the bus, Harper.

Your picture's next to OCD in the
dictionary, darling. You know where the

Doe file is. That's enough.

Do you want to know where that Jane Doe
file is?

Jane Doe.

Nice to meet you.

I was in my first year of law school
when two racist white cops pulled me

arrested me, and threw me in a mental
hospital.

Because they couldn't wrap their heads
around a black woman owning a nice car.

And I've been trying to find my way
back. I was working my way back and then

showed up.

You just couldn't stop inserting
yourself in my business.

Harper!

Mom is not coming, is she?

I don't think that she would miss this
if she could help it, baby.

Sometimes she says she's gonna do
something.

But she doesn't because she's too tired.

Mama!

Oh, I missed you so much, my sweet bug.

Bye, Auntie Dee.

See you in a couple of days.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

Hey. Hey.

So, I signed your application to
Preston.

All you have to do is have your guidance
counselor attach your transcripts and

mail it.

I told you yesterday, all the audition
slots are already full.

Yeah, all but one.

I reached out to Preston, and it took
some finessing.

But I got them to open up a slot just
for you.

Yeah.

Maya!

I thought you would be thrilled.

This is great, Mom, really.

I mean it.

What?

Is Katya the woman that broke up you and
Dad?

Yes. How could he do this?

Just decide that this is how it's going
to be for all of us?

Over some woman? It's more complicated
than that, sweetie.

Can I go home with you tonight?

I don't want to be forced to be here
just to play house with them.

I wish I could say yes.

But I have to respect the custody
agreement.

I hate that you have to go through this.

It's fine.

I should get back inside.

Maya.

Thank you.

Maya.

You know, when my husband got started,
not that long ago in the grand schema, a

female partner was practically unheard
of. We have female partners at Lockley.

Yes, a few now.

The wives at the firm call them ogres.

You're positively lovely.

Well, thank you.

My son has sold me on your value to our
firm, your ability to land big clients,

your killer instinct.

He says you're as ruthless as I am.
She's definitely a killer.

Well, I have just one question for you,
dear.

Why do you want to be a partner at
Lockley?

Why us?

My good relationship with Wynn is
definitely a part of it. He's been my

champion from the start, but if I have
to be honest, it's because Lockley is

biggest and the most powerful law firm
in Charlotte.

I want a seat at that table.

I want a voice.

Here's to making partner and getting
married in the same year.

I didn't realize that the two of you
weren't married.

We will be, later this year. Well, it's
the first marriage for both of you,

right? That's what Wynn said.

Being married to the deputy mayor,
that's a big deal.

Well, so is being married to an equity
partner at Lockley. Well, I hear

you have your eye on the Senate seat.

Is that true?

Well, I would have heard that rumor.

My duty right now is to the people of
Charlotte.

Anything beyond that, I really couldn't
speculate.

When he runs, is our firm going to take
a back seat to his campaign?

If I run.

I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Well, you're definitely going to want
her on your campaign trail.

Oh, Casey doesn't need me out there
kissing babies and cutting ribbon to win

election.

And besides, Dr.

Biden didn't quit her job.

Why should Tamara?

I want her to do whatever she wants.

Well, should we get down to brass tacks
before the food is served?

Yes, please.

Current buy -in for an equity partner is
$150 ,000.

You will fund your own 401k and health
insurance.

And it's expected that partners will
contribute at least 3 % to the firm's

charitable giving.

Hey, baby girl, you got to wrap it up.

Okay.

Why didn't you tell me that you were
thinking about running for Senate?

It's the mirage and the difference right
now, Tam.

I haven't decided anything.

We both know if it's on the table, you
will run.

You will win.

Eventually, maybe.

And if that is something that I do
decide, you'll be the first to hear

People talk. I can't help that.

You're right.

They do.

I get it.

Thank you for understanding.

I'm so proud of you for making partner.

And I am so lucky that I found you.

There are few men that give a woman the
space she needs.

I meant what I said.

I want you to do whatever it is that you
want to do.

Always. Has Casey seen us yet?

Not yet.

I wanted to have a good idea about how
to respond before I break the news to

him.

Well, it's spelled out pretty clearly
here. If Charlotte, meaning Casey's

administration, approves the reparations
tax like the one that Asheville

passed... Unanimously passed, I might
add.

They are willing to take it to the
Supreme Court.

To fight it, if they have to.

Look who signed off on it.

Oh, my God.

Wynn Lockley, junior and senior.

I can't say I'm surprised.

I just don't know how Tamara works in
that world.

It's hard to escape.

Well, I will do some research tomorrow.

See if I can find a way to strengthen
the tax proposal, make it a little more

fireproof. Thank you.

Um, would you like another glass?

I have a confession to make.

It was Tamara's idea to ask you for
legal advice instead of asking you on a

second date.

I thought you said that Casey didn't
know about the letter.

He doesn't. And I actually did need
advice about that.

But I actually called because I wanted
to see you again.

Well, I wanted to see you again, too.

Tamara said you have a hard time

What are you doing?

Asking for you to approve it.

Okay.

Okay,

Oh.

Come on, you've done this before, right?

I just want to talk.

How's your grandmother doing?

She passed away last year.

Don't you dare touch me.

We need to end this.
