All language subtitles for Family Law -04x05 - PG-Rating

Previously on Family Law.

The numbers were awesome.

The Phoenix made the right choice.

Your listeners will love you.

I've been in discussions with
Marcus Peterson about a merger.

Sorry, what?

That's approximately how
much you draw annually.

This goes through.

We're killing it with the co-parenting.

Good thing, since it sounds like we
might be working together soon too.

What do you mean?

Oh, because of the merger.

What merger?

Dude.

I'm pregnant.

Dude, tell me you ordered a DNA test.

The baby's mine.

All I know about Jude is,
she eats cheesies in bed.

She was sleep-deprived, stuffing her
face with chips, elbow-deep in rodent gum.

You won't be a part of the baby's life now.

If I'm not, she might kill it.

Did you read the links I sent?

Nope.

But not because I was too busy.

I just don't want to.

Well, give them a look.

Fetal development is fascinating.

Nutrition is so important.

I bet.

For instance, did you know white bread like

the bagel you're eating
has almost zero fiber?

That's so.

Why not swap it for multigrain
or try vitamin supplements?

Did you Rob London drugs?

Folic acid is a must.

Got your vitamin A and C, D and E.

Is there a vitamin F in you?

Look, I appreciate you coming all of
this way with your research and your body

fascism, but it's my
body, my home, so get out.

Just read the links.

We should take precautions,
especially for a pregnancy like this.

Geriatric pregnancy.

Let's watch Charlie's Angels.

They're spies with a huge wig collection.

What's not to like?

I'm in the mood for Sci-Fi.

Remember the one about
the scientist who creates

life and then everyone
treats it like a monster?

For the last time, we
are not watching Flubber.

Why not?

Daniel, Harry, where are they?

Mr. Svensson, Harry's office,
but they're in a closed door.

She's kind of scary, right?

One day, we'll be just like her.

Uh, good morning.

We're having a... When
were you two gonna tell me?

Your mother and I have
only spent one night together.

No, not that.

The merger with Marcus Peterson's firm.

You didn't think I should know I'd
be working with my ex-husband?

If the deal goes through, you two
won't even be on the same floor.

And a merger is great for the firm.

More clients, which means more money.

Yeah, for you, the partners.

For the rest of us, it means more politics.

Higher billing targets, longer
hours, more people like you.

Abigail, I promise, the culture
of this firm won't change.

Mr. Spence, Dan and Suk is here.

Ah, yes.

Ms. Suk's brought us a personal
injury case right in your wheelhouse.

Since when do we take
on personal injury cases?

It's a lucrative field.

One in which your sister excels.

You've been a racehorse
trapped in the barn for too long.

We want to take advantage of your gifts.

We do?

Actually, Danny, why don't you
shadow your sister on this one?

Me?

Why?

Never too late to learn a new area of
law, and who better to learn from than the

litigator who nabbed a seven-figure settlement
in the Cowabunga waterslide incident.

Okay, shadow.

Take good notes.

Cecil will take notes.

That makes you feel any better.

Diana, hi.

I'm Abigail Bianchi.

I'll be representing you.

This is Cecil, our paralegal.

And I'm Daniel Svensson.

Think of him as an observer.

Like an intern?

Actually quieter than an intern.

How can we help you today?

This bougie couple is suing me.

Their car got smashed up,
and they want me to pay for it.

Why are they suing you?

They're saying my
daughter crashed it, that she

broke into their car
and took it for a joyride.

Did she?

Of course not.

What's your daughter's name?

Michaela Suk.

She's a good kid.

A quiet kid.

She spends all her time making fan art.

She would never do this.

This car is wild.

Yas!

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I think she did it.

But I didn't crash their car.

Why am I on the hook?

It's called parental liability.

Which basically holds parents responsible
for damages caused by their child.

But these cases are difficult to win.

I hope so.

Did you see that car?

Probably cost a fortune.

I can't afford to fix it.

Michaela's father can't help.

He passed away a few years ago.

I'm very sorry.

It's been really hard on Michaela.

In these claims, the plaintiff will try to
prove the parent could have stopped their

child from causing the damage
that they could have predicted it.

Has Michaela done
anything like this before?

Never.

I know how that video looks, but
I swear, Michaela is a good kid.

And there's no way you
could have predicted it.

I'll build a strong defense.

We'll build a strong defense.

Whatever you do, don't blame yourself.

Of course she should blame herself.

It's negligent parenting planning simple.

Is it that simple?

I bet you were way too buttoned
up to have a rebellious streak.

You have no idea.

He was such a teacher's pet.

I used to call him suck up Svensson.

You came up with that nickname?

Follow me all the way to high school.

I remember when my eldest
went through her rebellious phase.

One minute she's making me homemade cards.

The next she's setting off stink
bombs in a teacher's lounge.

Begging me to represent
her in case the school sued.

And that's what being
a teenager is all about.

Pushing boundaries, trying new things.

Is it fair to blame the parents?

Joanne was on the hook for half the
things I did at that age she'd be broke.

With the spousal support I was paying?

I highly doubt it.

I had a wild side too.

Watched PG-13 movies when I was 12.

Yet you somehow turned out fine.

I never went through her rebellious phase.

Never say never, Winston.

You look 15.

Really?

Whatever teens do, it's up to
their parents to keep them in line.

Like when Craig goes poop in
the park, whose job is it to pick it up?

Usually mine.

For the last time, parenting
Craig is not parenting.

Give him nine months, he'll get it.

Little teen rebellion is healthy.

I partook in my own share of
tomfoolery, but the law is clear.

If parents can be forced
to pay for their children's

mistakes, best to keep
them on a tight leash.

Says the man who
did little to no parenting.

Diana says this is highly
out of character for Michaela.

I'm going to drop by her house and
see if she's got her mom blinders on.

Could sure use the inside
of a famous radiotherapist.

I think she can squeeze
that in her schedule.

Shadow, come.

How are things with Maggie?

She's seeing someone.

No, I'm sorry.

Actually, I think Maggie
and I are better office friends.

It's weird saying that out loud.

It'd be weirder if you stayed together.

Too much kidnapping under the bridge.

You and Maggie, that's a good
example of platonic co-parenting.

You're reading up on the subject, you
know, because of my situation with Jude.

Seamless segue.

I want to be supportive, so I made a
few observations, but she is so stubborn.

What kind of observations?

I suggested she lay off processed
foods, brought her vitamins.

Oh, and she blew a gasket when
I called it a geriatric pregnancy.

You called it a what?

It's a clinical term.

You're lucky you're not
on a slab at the morgue.

Yeah.

Michaela, Abigail Bianchi.

These are my colleagues.

Do you know why we're here?

Yeah.

Is your mom home?

No.

Can we wait inside?

Sorry, I should run.

I've got mathletes.

I used to do mathletes.

Oh, wow.

It was around in the dark ages.

She making fun of me?

As the next of kin, my
client is entitled to be a state.

Trudy Lockhart's will is explicit.

Her home on Point Ray Road is
to be left to her beloved Charles.

But I'm her nephew.

Come on, Phil.

You know this will is
atypical to say the least.

Atypical?

It's absurd.

Not to Trudy.

She adored Charles.

When a state is left in
the form of a pet trust, it's

appointed to the pet's
caregiver, which means Georgina.

Why does a cat need 4,000
square feet and an ocean view?

Because it's the home he grew up in.

Trudy wanted him to spend
the rest of his days there.

Trudy also made a promise to
my client that he'd be taken care of.

She wanted the house to go to him.

A promise?

Is it reflected in the will?

Sounds like a no.

I can't believe Aunt True cares
more about that cat than me.

Did Charles send her a
birthday card every year?

She did leave you her stamp collection.

It's quite valuable.

Yeah, 85K.

Big whoop.

Challenging the pet trust won't be easy,
but if we can prove Georgina was providing

inadequate care, perhaps we can have
you appointed as Charles' new caregiver.

Caregiver to a cat?

I'm allergic.

The home is worth $15 million.

I'll get an EpiPen.

Hi, sorry I'm late.

The salon's in Metro Town.

There was a perm crisis.

I won't get into it.

That's a far commute.

Did you guys move here recently?

Yep, the rent's crazy, but the
school in this catchment is worth it.

Private school education
without the tuition.

Michaela, did you say hi to our guests?

Offer them anything to drink?

Michaela!

Yoo-hoo!

Does Michaela spend a
lot of time unsupervised?

Lately, yes.

Since the move, I've
been working longer shifts.

There's no one else who could be with her.

Parents, a nanny.

Does it look like I can afford a nanny?

And Michaela's 14.

She can be on her own for a few hours.

Still, after the incident, a judge will
want to know you're keeping an eye on her.

Why are we even going to court?

Mom, please just pay the
Vandenberg so this could be over.

Sorry about that.

Michaela used to be such
a sweet kid, but now...

My daughter loathed me for years.

The good news is, they seem
to come out the other side.

Did you and Michaela have a
chance to talk about that night?

Or maybe she explained
why she took the car.

She barely talks to me in full sentences.

Have you considered
taking her to see a therapist?

I tried.

After her father passed,
but it cost so much.

Therapy is expensive.

Why don't I meet with
Michaela a couple times?

If it helps, we can
discuss the sliding scale.

That's a great idea.

Having Michaela in therapy,
it's a good -looking court.

More than that, we want to address
any issues that led to the incident.

That too.

Sofia that bad?

No, she was all sunshine and rainbows.

My child turned out like that.

It's a good thing Jude has my help.

You are not seriously
putting down cynical parents.

Of course not.

I was essentially raised
by a single mom, but

that's why she enrolled
me in a bunch of activities.

To keep me busy.

Fencing, piano, tennis, spirited math.

Oh, it says so much.

What?

It's about how you became you.

Thank you?

Those things cost money, and I
doubt that's the root of the problem.

I think Michaela is grieving her dad.

Losing a parent is tough,
especially so young.

Shadow, find me some case
law before our next meeting.

Stop calling me that.

Sofia?

Abigail, my granddaughter was
just explaining to me what an ick is.

I think I've had more than a few
girlfriends who've given me that feeling.

Hmm, I'm sure it was mutual.

And on that note, I'll go.

Bye, Grandpa.

Thank you, sweetheart,
for keeping me current.

You're gonna need a magic wand for that.

Mom, stop laughing at your own jokes.

So, what brings you to my office, kiddo?

Not that I'm complaining.

Okay.

I've given it a lot of thought, and...

I want to move in with you.

Full time.

The old house was my turf,
and Isabel was kind of a guest.

But at this new house,
it's like, I'm the guest.

I'm sure that's not how they feel.

Dad and I used to do wordle
together every morning.

Now it's just him and
Isabel talking renovations.

Ugh, the way they go on about floor tiles.

They'll level out, you'll
get your wordle back.

Well, the renos are gonna take months.

And also, they're just so
cringe together, you know?

There was Nico off
eating baguettes in France.

It's a little lonely.

Well, I'd love for you to live with me.

But I don't have my own place yet.

We'd still be at JoJo's.

I'm okay with that.

I love JoJo.

Okay, we'll have to talk
to your dad about it first.

Get the all clear.

You know I am old
enough to vote with my feet.

Pick up a few things with
both your parents and lawyers.

You are old enough, I know.

But communication is
important in the audience.

Hi again.

Wrong unit.

I'll be quick.

Look, I'm sorry.

It was wrong of me to give you unsolicited
advice, however well researched.

Whoa.

Did you draw that?

Yeah, meet the big
bad of Orc Retaliation 2.

Cool.

It's scary.

I gave him your forehead.

You were apologizing.

Here's the thing, if you and I are gonna

co-parent this child,
we need to get along.

I take your point.

Do you want to go out sometime this week?

Get to know each other?

Unromantically?

Of course you felt the need to add that.

Fine.

Let's hang out.

Okay.

I'll get out of your air.

Just don't work too late tonight.

Now good night's sleep is good for the...

Just leave.

Michaela is sorry for causing you distress.

I promise not only am I disciplining her,
I've arranged for her to seek therapy to...

address any issues
that led to the incident.

My client isn't able to offer financial

compensation, but she is
willing to make restitution.

How?

Michaela can mow your lawn every week.

She'll be mowing for the rest of her life.

She can also walk your dog?

Thanks, but my clients
won't drop their claim.

Michaela can't do yard
work and then call it a day.

What kind of deterrent is that?

Well, let's discuss other options.

We're just not comfortable with
her spending time at our house.

Last time she was on my client's
property, it didn't work out so well.

Just the thought of her near
our prize money hydrangeas.

She's put us through quite enough already.

Parental liability claims
are rarely successful.

Davey V.

Henson... You'll spend more money in
court than you would repairing your car.

My client is willing to pay your deductible

and they increase your
premiums if they go up.

We shouldn't have the hassle of
dealing with our insurance company.

And it's about principle.

Clearly Michaela has never
learned about consequences at home.

Sorry.

Are you dissing my parenting?

We're not dissing anything.

We just think you should act more like your

daughter's mother
instead of her best friend.

Say that again.

We can see where she gets it.

Surely we can reach a compromise?

Sure.

My clients are flexible.

Money's an issue, then Miss Sue
can pay them back an installment.

This cat is living its best life.

So it seems hard to prove
neglect when he's this pampered.

Are those real aviators?

Pictures don't tell the whole story.

Contact Phil Sterling.

I want to conduct our own
evaluation with a third party vet.

Just to be clear, you want
me to subpoena a cat?

Indeed, Cecile.

So this is how the other half lives.

A guest?

She said that?

Don't bear cup up about it.

I'm sure you said
something supportive in there.

I didn't realize we were so... cringe.

Please.

Have parents hold hands,
their kids react that way.

They want us to be asexual.

What about you and Ben?

You two make a cringe?

We broke up.

So... might as well be asexual.

I'm sorry, Abi.

Can't say the same for Harry and Joanne.

Sophia better brace herself for
bare asses and skinny dipping.

It's not forever.

She'll come around.

As a wise person once said when I
read a scathing essay about myself.

Just give her time.

Wow.

This person sounds like a complete jerk.

I'll tell him you said that.

How are things at home?

What about school?

You just transferred, right?

Yeah.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Your mom mentioned your dad passed away.

Do you want to talk about it?

How about this?

During our session, we'll
keep your phone in this basket.

And it'll be waiting for
you when we're done.

Thanks.

She gave you the silent treatment?

Pretty much.

She was texting someone.

I had to take her phone
and put it on my desk.

Impressive.

The only way Sophia
would let me have her phone

is if I pried it out of
her cold, dead hands.

Direct quote.

Limit that screen time.

Studies show how addictive
it is to a child's brain.

Stop reading up on child brains
and start finding me case law.

Why?

You don't use it.

It didn't seem like Makayla
was texting her friend.

She looked worried,
but she wouldn't say why.

We have another session tomorrow.

Maybe she'll talk then.

Is Kel so ready to begin questioning?

Watch how it's done.

Diana, why did you move to Shaughnessy?

For West Fern Academy.

It has an international baccalaureate
program, and they have all these art classes.

Why is that important to you?

Makayla loves art.

She spends all her time drawing, painting.

Did she ever get into any
trouble at her old school?

Never.

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Your Honor, given my client's commitment
to the child's well-being and that the

child herself has no history of delinquent

behavior, it is clear this
was an isolated incident.

Not a reflection of my client's parenting.

Does opposing counsel
wish the cross -examine?

Miss Suk, what is your daughter's GPA?

Uh, I'm not sure.

Objection.

Relevance.

What do her grades
have to do with the claim?

The child is flunking her classes
because she's been skipping them.

No way.

The school would have notified me.

Not directly.

Your daughter made sure of that.

A form redirecting the school's
messages to your daughter's cell.

Is that your signature?

Yes, but I never signed this.

Well, that's because
your daughter forged it.

Your Honor, I'd like to
submit video evidence.

Uh, objection.

We need to review it first.

What if it violates the child's privacy?

The video was posted through
Michaela's social media just this morning.

It's public information.

Overruled.

Yes!

This is for you guys.

Good, principal.

Alright, she can draw.

Your Honor, crashing my client's
car was not an isolated incident.

The child has a history
of damaging property.

As her parent, Ms. Suk should
have discouraged this behavior.

My clients should not have
to pay for her negligence.

Court is adjourned until I have a
chance to further review this evidence.

Watch and learn?

More like crash and burn.

See you back at the office.

How are you?

All those things.

Michaela did that.

I feel like I don't even know her.

She's at that age where kids are
programmed to keep things from you.

It says nothing about you as a parent.

When I was a couple years
older than Michaela, I got pregnant.

I kept it from my parents
until I couldn't hide it anymore.

Wanna know how they reacted?

Guessing they didn't throw
you a gender -revealed party?

They said I embarrassed them.

Then they kicked me out.

Diana.

The worst part?

I knew they'd act like that.

That's why I didn't tell them.

And I never wanted Michaela
to feel that way about me.

But whatever she is going
through, she won't talk to me.

What did I do to make her not trust me?

Well placed, Vincent.

Be honest, did you only pick this
place because it's the fruit of my people?

No, I picked it because everyone
raves about the seared beef.

Relax.

I'm messing with you.

Okay.

One last stop.

If it's Zumba, I'm out.

Oh, way more fun than that.

What is this?

You said this was going to be fun.

Hi there.

Welcome to Baby CPR.

Come on, grab a dummy and join us.

Okay, are we ready to get started?

The first thing we're going to
talk about is Baby Dangerous.

Hey, Mum.

Hey.

Sophia, what's your GPA?

3.8 something, what?

No reason.

What are you watching?

One of my clients, her daughter
keeps pulling these ridiculous stunts.

Why would she incriminate
herself by posting them?

She wouldn't.

This is her social media.

Give my generation more credit.

If we don't want to get caught
doing something, we won't post it.

My guess, someone else made
an account under her name.

Same thing happened to Simon Getty.

This kid in my class, kind of
quirky, used to say random things.

Until a bunch of guys made an
account under his name called

Simon Says and turned
everything he said into a meme.

Kids can be such assholes.

And they got caught?

The teachers never found out.

Sometimes it would
even update during class.

Simon would see it on his
phone, but he never said anything.

Why not?

I think he still wants to be their friend.

Abigail.

Jeez.

Jerry.

What can I do for you?

I didn't mean to scare you.

I need your assignments.

Let's talk about your hobbies.

Your mom mentioned you love drawing.

Not really.

Okay.

What's your favorite class?

Don't have one.

I'm flunking.

Because I'm not good at anything.

I'm sure your friends wouldn't say that.

Friends?

Okay.

What about Iris?

She's the girl I saw you with, right?

I said I don't have friends.

I have no hobbies.

My mom gave up everything so I
could go to this stupid school and...

And I just suck at all of it.

Have you tried talking to
your mom about your feelings?

I can't.

Why not?

How do you tell your mom?

You're a loser.

Knock, knock.

Abby, I'm in the middle of a session.

Sorry.

This will just take a second.

I'd have something on your desk.

Sorry.

We'll just give her a minute.

I want to know how you got this.

Read first.

Judge later.

If you tell anyone, you're over.

Tell what?

That's the question.

Someone is bullying Michaela.

And I bet whoever it is
forced her to take that car.

Why don't you just ask Michaela?

She's a closed book.

Can you talk to a teacher?

Teachers are clueless
when it comes to bullies.

Trust me.

Maybe the students know.

They'll never tell me.

As soon as they sense
an adult is investigating,

they'll delete the chat
and our trail goes cold.

It's true.

Teenagers only trust each other.

Too bad we can't just do it 21 Jump Street.

What?

How did I get roped into this?

What if we get caught?

What if we're charged with trespassing?

We won't get caught.

Trust me.

First mission's always scary.

I was nervous too when they
sent me to pray away the gay camp.

They sent you where?

Excuse me, sir.

Only students pass this point.

Right.

I'm a sub.

For... Spanish.

Okay.

Buena suerte.

Mucho nachos.

Damn.

The jocks are the bullies.

I bet my men are unique-o on it.

Yeah.

Cool kids don't even care about unpopulars.

Much less bully them.

There.

The smart kids.

Really?

They look so sweet.

Smart kids are the worst.

They've got the skills to trap
you and the most to prove.

How do you know about all this?

Because I lived it.

How do we get them to confess?

I have an idea.

What did you think of the reading?

1984.

I liked it.

Did you read Melanie's essay?

Social media and the surveillance state?

Like, wow.

Great analysis, Captain Obvious.

Yeah.

Super obvious.

Hey!

Can I sit here?

Are you new?

I just transferred from Millview.

Oh.

That school doesn't offer Ivy classes.

They only have advanced placement.

Thank God they kicked me out.

They did?

Why?

We did a production of hairspray,
and I put itching powder in all their wigs.

Would have been perfect
for your post-pix account.

What do you mean?

Your private page.

The one you use to share pranks.

We don't know what you're talking about.

Fine.

Deny it.

But you're missing out on premium content.

See that TOC?

He gave me detention,
so I gave him laxatives.

I underestimated you.

People do that.

You know what?

I'll add you.

No.

Iris, don't.

Shut up, Stefano.

Yeah, Stefano.

Lock it up.

I'll let you follow our page.

If you do one more thing.

I am really sorry, Cecil, but
I had to do it to gain their trust.

Trust when I upgraded my ride, too.

Uh, Svensson and Svensson,
can you hold, please?

I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.

Three o'clock.

That's right.

Lovely.

See you then.

Where on earth is everyone, Cecile?

Got a pistachio lodged in his tooth.

He's at the dentist.

And Winston?

Drove in there.

That's just great.

Cecile was supposed
to take Charles to the vet.

Oh, don't look at me.

I've got an office to run.

Thanks, Jerry.

I owe you one.

More than one.

Oh, yes, Mr. Makeda.

Look at that whisker's face.

He's actually quite adorable.

Don't let him fool you.

Never can tell what a cat is thinking.

What are you talking about?

Huh.

And here I thought cats were disagreeable.

Uh-uh.

I'll have it at Stanford.

Well, I've done some
thorough tests, and Charles

here meets every metric
of exceptional health.

Of course he does.

But when we took a look at
Charles, we noticed a discrepancy.

Basically,

they make someone record themselves doing
a prank for the promise of popularity.

Then use it to blackmail them
into doing something more extreme.

Like jam lockers, clog sinks.

Betray friends.

How'd you get all this?

Not important.

This is evidence.

It's proof that Michaela was blackmailed
into stealing the Vandenberg's car.

Speaking of cars, what's the
maximum reimbursement for petty cash?

There's more.

Meet the ringleader.

That's a girl who'll call me old.

Look at her surname.

Iris Vandenberg.

Mrs. Vandenberg, do you have a child?

I do, yes.

How many hours does she study a day?

Two hours with her tutor.

Three by herself.

Does she do any extracurriculars?

Chess, cello, robotics.

What about her online activity?

Objection.

How is any of this relevant?

Counsel asked my client similar questions.

Seemed relevant then.

Overruled.

Will counsel please get to the point?

Screenshots from a
private post-pics account.

Can you describe what you see?

Miss Suk's daughter breaking into my car.

Are you aware your daughter
coerced her into doing it?

Objection, lack of evidence.

Have you any proof?

Text messages from the child and yours.

Can you read them out loud?

Iris, if you don't do
this, I'll leak the videos.

Michaela, what if I crash the car?

Won't your parents be mad?

Iris, IDC about them.

What does IDC mean for those
of us not presently teenagers?

I don't care.

Why would your child blackmail
someone into damaging your property?

Maybe all those hours of
studying, the extracurriculars,

the pressure of being a
top student made her crack.

Maybe as her parent, you're to blame.

Or maybe not.

A teenager's life and choices are complex.

It's not as simple as
it's the parent's fault.

So why fault my client's parenting?

Because she can't watch her child 24-7?

Because she can't afford nannies
or expensive after-school programs?

She can barely afford the child's therapy,

which she needs, due
to your child's bullying.

The child didn't damage your car
because of my client's parenting.

She damaged it because
of your child's coercion.

I'm inclined to agree.

I dismiss the Vandenberg's
claim for damages.

Miss Suk is entitled to her cost and
to 15 sessions of therapy for Michaela,

to be paid for by the Vandenbergs.

I can't thank you enough.

You and Lucy.

And you... No, you don't have to.

You are so lucky to
learn from this rock star.

Dr. Svensson will be with you soon.

Thanks.

I hear you're transferring to new school.

What's exciting?

It doesn't matter where I go.

It'll turn out the same.

One of my teachers called
high school the best years.

Isn't that depressing?

I hated school.

Really?

Yeah.

But you seem, like, smart.

I skipped a grade or two.

So I was always the youngest.

Which isn't a great way to make friends.

Were they awful too?

They were.

So I studied harder.

Because if I didn't belong,
I might as well be the best.

Sounds like a lot of pressure.

That's why I took a gap year.

I'm in a much better place.

High school's just a few years.

After that, it's this whole other world.

Give it time.

You'll find your people.

Without a doubt, Georgina
provides exceptional care to the cat.

And yes, Trudy's will is rock solid.

But there is a discrepancy.

One that changes things considerably.

Aha!

Wait, what are we looking at here?

Charles' dental records,
x-rays, and microchip ID.

None of which match this cat's.

What do you mean they don't match?

I mean, the cat in this room, healthy
and pampered as he is, is not Charles.

So where's Charles?

Dead, Lewis, catch up.

I really did love Charles.

I kept him alive as long as I could.

But Trudy just stopped
him with tuna every day.

She might as well just poured
Mercury down his throat.

So you replaced him.

I grew quite fond of that house.

The ocean view alone.

Booyah!

The house is mine!

Sorry, loser.

Have fun being homeless.

Not so fast.

Due to the death of the beneficiary,
Charles, the real one, we must

redistribute the assets
according to a residual clause.

Redistribute to who?

The bulk of the estate will
be dissolved and donated

to the Vancouver Orphan
Kitten Rescue Association.

Will I at least get to keep Charles II?

That could be arranged.

What are you looking at?

Oh, hey.

Jude's just getting ready.

Taryn, you're the baby daddy, aren't you?

What's up?

Later, babe.

Ready for round two of baby CPR?

That's a sentence I never thought I'd say.

So, we've checked the AOA for obstructions.

All clear?

Now.

One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

So, Taryn, you do a thing?

Oh, just a friend.

With benefits.

And when did you two start having benefits?

Last week.

You seem mad.

I'm not mad.

Good.

Because you shouldn't
be, since you're the one

who keeps calling this
a platonic arrangement.

I just wonder if you should
be having one night's dance.

We were one night's dance.

For the baby.

Is it safe?

All that... jostling?

Remember when you
said you would stop crying?

Well, this counts as crying.

I'm just thinking about our baby.

Stop!

You just broke your baby's ribs.

All my years.

And this is the first case that
turned into an Agatha Christie novel.

Feels odd celebrating when neither
of our clients got what they wanted.

They were terrible people.

I'll drink to that.

You seem upbeat these days.

Do I?

Yeah, less moaning and groaning.

No nautical references.

You're over Joanne.

Not quite.

We're trying again, but we're
taking it slow, one day at a time.

You said you would move me on.

I tried to, but I...

couldn't replace Joanne.

All the others were just poor substitutes.

Well, Pam was going
on about her toe fungus.

All I could think was, you
were a podcast already.

I don't even mean that ironically.

So I heard the silliest gossip.

Pearl from Viserion Roth
was talking to Suzette.

Something about a merger
between us and Peterson.

Bunch of nonsense.

Harry wouldn't keep
something like that from me.

He would have told me straight away, right?

Abigail?

Right?
