Previously on Family Law.

Okay.

She's awesome.

Her? Yeah.

She's here tonight too, but I met
Martina.

First box of old case files, complete.

You get all these on your own?

Yeah. Picking up your game.

She's going out of date.

No, she's not.

Still there?

Jesus Christ.

She pre -drank a bunch of stuff from her
grandma's liquor cabinet. Doorman asked

me about half an hour ago, said Nico
walked through the night from Deep Cove.

I'm not letting my children spend
another minute here. Your children? You

get a say in this. You are a lousy
mother and you're a lousy grandmother.

Frank, you need to pull yourself
together. And you get to say less than

He wants a child custody and access
evaluation, which will recommend what

of parenting time you have, if any.

How many sexual partners have I had?

Like, in my entire life?

Fakers doesn't give a take.

Have you ever performed any sex acts
that would be considered risky?

Risky sex acts?

Like what? On roller skates?

Abby. What does any of this have to do
with my ability to parent?

A child custody evaluation is a
comprehensive psych assessment. That

digging into your dating history.

I've been married to Frank for 15 years.
What dating history?

What about whether or not you were
faithful during the marriage?

I hope they ask Frank that question.

Should I bring up his infidelity?

I suggest being child -focused with your
answers.

There's no reason to sling mud.

But if Frank does it, then it puts him
in a bad light.

If I had just stayed in that night, none
of this would be happening.

It's not your fault, Mom.

Frank.

Sophia's 14.

She's old enough to look after her
brother.

He didn't do anything wrong.

And she's going to talk to Sophia and
Nico, too?

Basically everyone in your life.

What kind of questions does she ask the
kids?

It depends.

She might ask if they've witnessed one
parent scourging the other, or do they

feel safe in mom or dad's care.

Abby, you're a great mom.

You have nothing to worry about.

Is that...

Our brother make me out of a car like a
teenager?

Yep.

Hi, Clara. Good morning.

I thought you ordered a Tesla. I
canceled it.

Yannick talked me out of it.

When did you take advice from Yannick?

Gotta admit, I'm impressed.

Electrochromic glass.

Bespoke air suspension, biometric
stowage, in -car video surveillance. I

referring to her, but please keep
talking to us about your car. People

that.

Looks like things are going well between
you and Clara.

Upping my age limit on stellar singles
was the best decision of my life. Hear

that, Lucy?

Dating an older woman.

Congratulations, Danny.

How does it feel to be so evolved?

Hilarious. Hurry up. We've got a meeting
in ten.

Saddest thing? Probably one of the best
days of his life.

I need a copy of this book. I'll see you
up there.

Morning, Mr. Spenson.

Miss Bianchi.

Morning, Winston.

Okay, someone's got to say it. That
outfit is fire.

Trying something new?

It's your client's son.

She's waiting in the boardroom.

Hiya, Winston.

Cecil.

This came in for you.

Got another postcard from Nina.

Oh, where are they now?

Bangkok. Eleanor and I took a trip there
for our 20th. Brian got a street tattoo

of a lion.

And it got infected.

Oh, figures.

Nina was our old receptionist. You told
me.

We kind of had a thing.

No, you didn't.

It was unspoken.

Oh.

What animal would you get? Hello, it's
Benson.

It's Benson. How may I help you?

Um, there's no line lit up.

Yes. Yes, I do have time to take a
survey.

My son's been accepted to a new school.

It's for neurodiverse kids, like Dion.

But Andre, my ex, won't let him go. Why
not? For starters, it's in Victoria.

Uh, what's your current parenting
schedule, Jessie?

Um... He's with me during the week. He's
with his dad on weekends.

I'm the primary.

Do you need to take that?

Sorry, I can't shut it off. I'm a
teacher on call.

The court leaned towards the child
spending time with both parents.

Yes, I want that too. Our schedules do
not have to change. Dion can travel back

on weekends.

Andre's just so angry he's not thinking
straight.

Do you need a minute?

Andre posted this online.

For a good spanking, call me at 604...
My phone's been buzzing all morning.

I made the mistake of answering the
first few.

Is that a mushroom? Oh, no, that's
definitely not a mushroom.

Can I get you something to drink?

Excuse me.

Don't touch my headphones.

They're my buffer.

It must be some game you're playing.

It's not a game. I'm coding my app.

I'll have a soda.

I'll have a soda, please.

Why would your ex do this?

Our divorce got ugly last year. Even at
our worst, Andre was never this bad.

Anything change recently?

I have a new boyfriend.

Andre's had like six girlfriends since
we split.

God forbid I meet anyone new. Typical.

He started with stuff like putting sugar
in my gas tank, which cost an arm and a

leg to repair.

Then he sent an email from my account to
all my contacts, my parents, co

-workers. Everyone thinks I have
gonorrhea.

And now... Have you taken this to the
police?

They say there's nothing they can do. I
can't prove it's him.

I read your interview, Mr. Stenson, how
you're all about getting couples to work

together instead of against each other.

That sounds really nice.

I'll see if I can get Andre and his
lawyer in.

I thought Frank was being a jerk.

Abigail, I have a few minutes. Let's
talk now.

Phil, what's going on?

Frank has asked for a child custody
evaluation.

And he's a fool.

Those are always tough on the kids, on
the whole family. So I've heard.

I also know they're going to interview
everyone in my life. You want me to bury

Frank, let something slip?

I'm more worried about my own past slip
-ups.

I know this puts you in a difficult
position.

It might, if there were any slip -ups to
report.

Good thing I haven't witnessed any.

A real lawyer's office.

Too bad you won't be here long enough to
enjoy it.

Take a Jesse's back?

Her ex should be here any minute. Can't
wait to meet this lovely drag of

humanity.

What were you and Harry meeting about?

You can't stand it when I have a moment
alone with him, can you?

Well,

I'm going to be straight with you. Don't
say it's about partnership. That's

getting old.

I'm about to get dragged through a child
custody evaluation.

Brutal.

Sorry to hear that.

Harry will likely be interviewed.

Chances are you will too.

So, whatever your feelings are about me,
I'd appreciate it if you... It's okay.

Abby, I got your back.

We're hoping to de -escalate this
tension.

Come up with an agreement concerning
your son's education.

And put an end to your serial
harassment.

My harassment?

Still playing the victim, I see.

Did she tell you about the time she
keyed my work van?

Or when she cut the crotches out of my
pants?

All of them.

I was upset. He was cheating on me.
Whatever happened in the past doesn't

justify your client's abusive behavior.
My client has done nothing. Well, this

spank me ad didn't post itself.

She posted it.

You think I'm doing this to myself?

She's setting me up.

Making me out to be the crazy one.

Also, she can take that job in Victoria.

The move is not about my job. Right.

It's about sticking her son in a school
for messed up kids. Kids with special

needs. Dion is fine when he's with me.
You're never with him during the week,

Andre. I'm the one taking calls from
teachers every time he has a meltdown.

Now he's skipping class. Dion's not the
one with the mental issues.

I know you're behind this. You obviously
have different ideas about what's best

for your son. They do. We've gone back
and forth on this for months with no

resolution. Let's leave it for court.

I wonder how long before these boys get
sick of your bullshit.

Who was your previous lawyer?

Candace Birch. She wouldn't do anything
about Andre's harassment.

Candace? She's a pretty aggressive
lawyer.

Was it true, what Andre said?

Yes, there's a job, but I only started
looking after Deanne was accepted.

No, I meant...

About cutting the crotches out of all
his pants?

I'm not proud of that.

You should be.

I'm fired.

But I'm past it now. I'm in a good
relationship. I just want to move on.

means doing what's best for Dion.

So, are you going to make the call, or
am I?

Ms. Fullerton?

Yeah, I repped her.

Why'd you part ways?

That's lawyer -client privilege.

Let me rephrase.

Did you ever suspect that Jesse could be
doing these things to herself?

Are you not hearing me?

Look, all I'll say is Jesse's version of
reality is not necessarily on point. So

if you decide to represent her, proceed
with the cut.

Let's be strong.

Yeah, okay.

Hey,

sweaty?

No.

Right.

Nylon shorts.

Yeah, I'm getting flashbacks to prom.

Kathy Sanchez was my date. I was
traumatized. Well, I promise it was just

traumatizing as it can be.

Can we grab lunch later today?

Sure. Nicola Zantico?

Sounds great.

Why don't you swing by my office first?

I'm going to show you off to my co
-workers.

Okay,

okay, okay.

So your parents divorced?

When I was seven.

Do you have any siblings?

Two half -siblings that I know of.

Well, here we are, baked from scratch
this morning.

I'm off to my volunteer shift at the
soup kitchen. Honey, I'll let them know

couldn't make it this time.

Bye.

Does a lot of volunteering?

Honestly, her idea of charity is bidding
at those cheesy bachelor auctions.

And the scones are... Whole foods.

That's okay.

They're my favorite.

Her heart's in the right place.

She's just looking out for me.

What was your parents' relationship
like?

Well, they were actually really, um...

They weren't the greatest role models.

For anything.

No.

My dad cheated on my mom.

So naturally my mom told me everything.

And the arguing was non -stop.

It's like living in an Albie play.

I never wanted my kids to go through
anything like that.

Well, here we are.

Level with me, Jessie. Why did Candace
drop you as a client?

I included an email that Andre sent me
in a court affidavit.

And I may have...

Okay, I know how this is going to sound.

You doctored it. I didn't add anything
that Andre didn't say to me in person.

Okay? I just put it in writing. Jessie.

I swear, I am not doing these things to
myself. It's Andre.

If I could prove it, I would, but I
can't. And... No one will believe me.

Okay.

I'm really sorry for everything you're
going through, but... You don't believe

me either.

Daniels made his decision.

Love that one.

See you now.

You're not mad at me, are you?

I'm sorry.

I should have given you credit for
helping with those files.

Yeah, you should have.

It's just, no one ever says, attaboy,
good work, Cecil.

Terry still calls me by a woman's name.

You're Mensa.

I didn't think you needed the praise.

Six years ago, I competed in this thing.

The World Stem Federation competition.

I play silver.

Mom took my medal. She said, this
doesn't look like gold.

Wow.

It's practically the same thing.

Why would Andre slash your tires?

So I'd be late to pick up Dion. Anything
to make me look bad in court?

Gary, you're here.

Of course. He sounded so distraught on
the phone.

Did you pick up Dion?

I tried. He cut class again.

It's okay. I called him. He's safe at
home.

Oh, Miss Bianchi, this is... Gary, Gary,
this is... Abigail.

Okay, I'll be right back.

You've got to help her. The police have
been useless.

Andre's attacks, they're getting more
extreme.

Jessie's terrified.

She could have slashed her own tires.

When? Right before her meeting with you.

You didn't see her. She's at her
breaking point.

It is possible Jesse's doing these
things to get sympathy.

Munchausen syndrome.

Like that stepmom in The Sixth Sense?

That's Munchausen by proxy.

Or Jesse's just got a bad case of
divorce psychosis.

I've certainly seen my share of that
from scorned women over the years.

Harry? Bitches be crazy? That's your
argument?

Ask your mother about the time she
loaded my jockstrap with cayenne pepper

before my hockey game. No one wants to
hear about your jockstrap.

What if Lucy meets with Jesse?

She believes she's telling the truth.

We'll take her case.

Okay, fine.

Okay, I guess I can do that. Thank you
for asking.

Daniel, your lunch date is here.

Ah, everyone, I would like you to meet
my girlfriend.

Clara? Harry?

I'm going to use the restroom.

Meet you at the elevator.

What? Mary and Daniel dipped their fish
sticks in the sandal.

Then

the

contractor went directly to my client to
talk about his concerns.

Really?

That's not right and now the entire
project is in jeopardy crazy

Go on ask me

whatever it is you want to know Where
did you two meet

Reflections cocktail lounge when about a
year ago

How long did it last couple weeks

It was a blip.

Then my firm's name took it off,
Svensson and Svensson.

I didn't know his last name.

It was a few nights.

We didn't do a whole lot of talking.

Thank you. Hey.

Sophia just texted me. Apparently
Valerie met with Nico yesterday.

How'd it go?

Let you know when he stops ignoring my
calls.

Jessie, everything okay?

The job in Victoria, it's on hold.

The principal received an anonymous
email. Apparently some parent said they

slapped their kid.

They're investigating me. Deep breath,
Jessie. It will be fine.

This is Dr. Simpson. Oh, the one who's
going to figure out if I'm a nut bar.

That's not how I'd put it. No, it's
okay.

I want to know, too.

These days I wonder if I am crazy.

Follow me.

Are you getting any sleep?

Barely.

I've never been a paranoid person, but
lately I'm just on edge.

Was Andre ever physically or
psychologically abusive when you were

We had our screaming matches, sure.

But I never felt unsafe.

And now you do.

After I met Gary, maybe... Maybe Andre
thinks he's being replaced in Dion's

life. But I've said it a thousand times.
Gary is not moving to Victoria.

Tell me more about Dion.

How has he adjusted to the separation?

Not great.

But he has these moments.

He made me this really cool stop -motion
animation once.

A bunch of dancing jelly beans.

It said, Happy Mother's Day, you're
sweet.

People don't see that side of him.

He's a good kid.

But yes, it gets challenging.

Has Dion had a formal diagnosis?

Oppositional defiance disorder.

Andre says he just needs more exercise.

I took Dion to see a play once.

And something, the light or sound, set
him off.

You should have seen the way the other
kids looked at him. Even the parents.

When people see you as crazy...

They treat you like you're contagious or
dangerous.

I just don't want Dion to feel that way.

What do you think he needs?

To be understood.

To have teachers that get him.

And I found a place that can give that
to him. The way Andre is wearing me

some days I just want to give up.

Mom, Dion, just take a seat.

Why didn't you pick Pierre from school?

Buddy, you know I had a meeting. I don't
like getting picked up by him. All

right, just take it down or not. Get out
of my face!

I'm sorry, Gary.

It's okay.

It's a stressful situation, but we've
got this.

If I ever talked to my mom like that, my
face would be in the side of a milk

carton.

Come in.

What is it?

I just... I don't want there to be any
awkwardness between us.

Awkwardness? How?

Come on, Dad.

Clara. Ah.

Well, there's no discomfort on my end.

She's a great gal. You should see where
it goes.

If you think she's so great, why did you
stop seeing her?

I just needed a woman with a little more
substance.

But I think Clara's great for you.

You and Harry measuring fish sticks? Not
funny.

Yeah, it is. The whole thing is freaking
hilarious.

Want me to pump your tires for the
custody evaluation?

Lay off.

I don't think Jessie is lying.

Her lack of sleep, high alertness,
there's symptoms of hypervigilance,

suggests she's legitimately scared.

Fine. We'll represent her.

I'll get Cecil to draft a contract of
representation. I'll drop it off.

on my way home.

Wait, what about... Oh, you're going to
want to hop on the sea bus and catch the

212 to Deep Cove.

Excuse me.

Oh, hi.

Is this your place?

No.

I'm her lawyer, Abigail.

Aiden.

Do you have any idea how the fire
started?

Some kind of accelerant. Probably
gasoline.

Sounds like arson.

I can keep you updated on the
investigation.

Let me give you my contact info.

Sure.

Here you go.

Is that for the fire station, or...? No.

My cell.

Feel free to call.

Anytime.

Happens.

Not to me.

Should I take that personally?

No.

No, not you.

You're great.

It's just... When I'm with you, I start
picturing my dad.

Wait, no.

That didn't come out right.

Is this something you think you're going
to be able to work through?

I want to.

But I don't know.

Maybe it's best if you sleep in your own
bed tonight.

I'm sorry, Clara.

Maybe I can... No.

This isn't just about a school in
Victoria.

We need to convince the judge to grant
Jesse emergency full custody of Dion.

Great. Do it.

Really?

Everything okay?

I don't want to talk about it.

This wouldn't have anything to do with
your Oedipal crisis.

Clara broke up with me last night. Said
I had daddy issues.

Wow, Clara. Accurate read.

Says the person who wrote the book.

Jesse, you know Dion can't be in the
courtroom.

He won't go to school.

He's still terrified from last night.

I'll stay with you.

In

closing,

Your Honor, Ms. Fullerton only wants
what's best for her son.

And her ex has responded with a campaign
of terror. One that could have caused

bodily harm last night. We ask that you
not only grant Ms. Fullerton's request

to relocate to Victoria, but that you
grant her emergency sole custody.

depending on the outcome of the
investigation.

Counsel?

Your Honor, I agree with Ms. Bianchi on
one point.

Ms. Fullerton wants what she thinks is
best for her child, and she'll do

anything to get her way. Last night, my
client was painting the interior of an

office building. A whole crew can vouch
for him. His crew is a bunch of high

school buddies that are still kissing
the quarterback's ass. They'll say

anything to cover for him. Will you give
it a rest?

I'll have order in my courtroom.

We have concerns about Ms. Fullerton's
mental health. We believe she is doing

these things to herself.

A million objections.

This is complete speculation.

News article dated 1990 about a fire at
Ms. Fullerton's childhood home emailed

to my office anonymously.

Objection. We haven't seen this. You're
seeing it now, Ms. Bianchi.

I'll allow it.

Investigators discovered the fire had
been started by the family's 10 -year

daughter. When asked why she'd done it,
the girl said, I wanted to see the

pretty flames.

The circumstantial evidence is damning.
Out of concern for the child's safety,

we ask the court to grant Mr. Fullerton
emergency interim custody of their son.

Objection. Counsel just admitted the
evidence is circumstantial.

Nevertheless... I'm afraid I must lean
on the side of extreme caution and grant

Mr. Fullerton emergency sole custody.
Your Honor, the child has special needs.

Jesse is his biggest advocate.

To be reviewed in one month, when
perhaps we will have more clarity.

Was

it

true? What the article said about the
fire? I was 10.

I wasn't trying to hide anything from
you guys.

Hey.

Dad said I'm going with him. I'm
supposed to be with you tonight.

Yeah, buddy. We made some changes to the
schedule.

Listen, it's going to be okay.

No, it's not. It's Taco Tuesday.

We'll have tacos at my house. No, we
have tacos at Mom's.

Go to your dad's tonight, okay?

If you do that, I'll bring you anything
you need.

Hey, give it time. Everything will get
sorted out.

I know we don't want to believe it's
Jesse, but I don't think it's Andre

No, he seemed genuinely concerned for
his son's safety.

What if it's someone else? Someone we
haven't even considered?

It would have to be someone with
intimate knowledge of Jesse's past.

Someone who could gain access to her
computer.

Maybe they installed spyware or a
keylogger. Then they'd have access to

everything. Her contacts, passwords,
schedule.

Dion.

I met him after my session with Jesse.
He was angry because Gary picked him up

from school.

He texted Abby, too. He grunted
something about coding an app. Yeah, and

Jesse's tire got splashed, Dion skipped
school.

No. Not a chance.

He has oppositional defiant disorder.
He's not a criminal mastermind. Nobody

thinks that, but this can't be easy for
Dion.

Maybe he's doing this to try to sabotage
the move to Victoria?

Does he even want to go?

Dion hates change.

But I know my son.

And he would never hurt anyone.

Especially not me. Can I at least bring
your laptop back to the office?

All right, Cecil.

Do your computer thing.

Computer thing? Way to value my skills.

Gonna... Stop by the fire hall and see
where they're at with the investigation.

Why don't you just call them?

Aiden, right?

Abigail.

I thought I'd come down and see if there
were any updates about the fire.

Nothing new to tell.

Sorry you had to come all the way down
here.

Oh, it wasn't far.

Unless I get to check out this big shiny
truck.

And I bet you got a pole hiding in there
somewhere.

Did you want to hop in?

It'd be weird if I said yes.

Well, most people who want to go on the
truck are under ten.

Oh, another fire to put out.

Only if I leave my chili on the stove
too long. It's my turn to cook.

Anne's got to eat.

I should go check on it. Yeah, I should
get going too.

Abigail, wait.

Harding gift.

Oh.

Thank you for your service.

Pickle, can I help you?

Ta -da!

Did you make that for me?

In recognition of exemplary acts of
piling and friendship, best office

assistant. Oh, Cecil. And look, it's
gold.

I love it.

Thank you.

Well, basically you went all the way
down there for nothing.

I wouldn't say nothing.

Picked up a bundle of toilet paper on my
way back.

You were right.

That's spyware on Jesse's laptop.

Good.

So now are you able to trace the
signature back to the person who

I'm not Mr. Robot.

Maybe we don't have to trace anything.
Maybe we can bring the source to us.

If I email Jesse, can the person who
installed the spyware read it too?

That's kind of the point.

What are you doing?

Emailing Jessie.

Letting her know that her neighbor
across the street has reached out.

And as luck would have it, her brother
is visiting.

He owns a car with a video surveillance
system.

My car has a video surveillance system.
She thinks he has footage of the person

who started the fire.

She'll meet us tonight so we can check
the video.

So now whoever put the spyware on her
laptop will want to get to that video

before we do.

She's setting a trap.

Yeah. Wait a minute. Whose car are we
using?

Frank's car has video surveillance too.
Why don't we use his?

Four words. Child custody evaluation.

Dumbass. Guys, relax.

No one's going to go near your precious
car. We're going to swoop in.

Guys!

Gary?

My car.

Gary?

What the hell are you doing?

Okay, okay, let me calm down.

I'm looking out for you. Did you also
tell yourself that when you set her

on fire? Wait, wait, wait. The ad?

The anonymous email?

That was all you? I love you, Jessie.

It just made me sick to feel the back
and forth you had with your ex. He's

Dion's dad. I wanted to show you his
true colors. You mean your true colors.

then you wanted to move to Victoria.

We have a good thing here. Don't.

Because of you, everyone thinks I'm a
danger to my son. I think we can agree

that kid is a wedge between us.

That kid? You can't see what a negative
force he has in your life. Let's face

it. He's weird.

Give me the tire arms.

I just wanted us to be free from all
this craziness.

You are the craziness!

Let me guess. It was the boyfriend.

How'd you know? I listen to a lot of
true crime podcasts. It's always the

boyfriend. Lucy says she's a narcissist
with a savior complex.

Had to let go of my sous chef for
stealing a side of beef, but you went

crazy story of the day. Oh, no, there's
more.

You remember Clara?

Of course.

I love her pantsuit. Well, turns out she
and my dad used to... No.

Yeah. And I couldn't get over it.

So she dumped me.

My girlfriend. It's that mom. My
girlfriend. It's that mom. Okay, okay,

I know.

I'm really sorry your ex -master's bad.

Thank you.

I liked her, too.

I feel terrible.

Trust me, you'll be fine.

One day she'll look back and say, I
dated two sons, and one of them had a

butt.

Wait,

I'm the one with the great butt, right?

Mm -hmm.

I am so sorry I blamed you for all this.
I feel so stupid.

He played all of us.

The thing about creeps, they work
overtime to not seem creepy.

My boss once asked me to pull his
finger.

We would like to make an application to
vary the temporary custody order.

Reasonable. What about Victoria?

My job offer is back on the table.

And I still think this is the best
school for Dion.

I don't like being so far away from him.

I know I only have him on weekends, but
at least he feels close.

The new school ends at noon every
Friday. Jesse could get Dion on the 1 p

ferry. You could have him on pro -D days
and long weekends.

Only until the end of the school year.
Then we reassess.

I'd like to pick up the kids from school
today, Frank.

I can bring them straight to you.

Can you give me a ten -minute car ride
with them?

Call me back.

There's someone here to see you.

Walk -in? I don't think he's here for
legal advice.

You're here.

Yeah.

Is it about the fire?

No.

I was wondering if you'd like to go out
tonight.

Uh, I have to stay late tonight.

Or a thing.

I get it. I should have called.

Maybe tomorrow?

Great.

Yeah, great.

I'll call tomorrow then.

Okay.

And how long have you been in this
current job?

Almost 10 months.

What is your relationship like with your
boss?

That's a loaded question.

I've worked for my dad.

Oh.

How has that been for you? You said you
were estranged for a long time.

33 years.

Yeah.

But we settled into a bit of a rhythm.

And he did help me out when I needed it.

Something he never lets me forget.

Does your substance use cause any
problems in your life?

Alcohol has caused problems in the past,
but I've been sober close to a year.

Have you ever neglected your children
when you were under the influence?

No, I haven't.

Mr.

Bianchi mentioned a few occasions.

When you passed out and left the
children unattended.

I mean, I took naps when the kids were
young, but who hasn't?

He said one of these naps resulted in
your daughter getting frostbite.

Apparently you left her outside.

She was building a snowman without
gloves on. She was in the backyard where

could see her. There's no judgment here,
Abigail.

I'm just relaying what he told me.

He also talked about a time your son cut
his hair with a sharp pair of scissors.

They were plastic from his Play -Doh
set.

These things could happen to any parent.

Your daughter Sophia mentioned a video
that wound up on YouTube of you in

It was almost a year ago.

Her peers still tease her about it.

Look, that is something I will...

forever be ashamed of. But you have to
understand, Frank had just kicked me out

of the house the night before.

Because of your drinking?

Yes. And did you respond to the stress
of that situation with more drinking?

Yes, because I'm an alcoholic.

I'm just trying to understand the full
picture. No, no. You're trying to fill

the picture Frank is painting. Oh, poor
Frank. Because of all of his problems is

my drinking.

Well, what about him?

How he lied to me when he said the
affair was over.

How he's keeping my own children from
me.

Has he mentioned any of that?

Sorry. No, it's okay.

You know what? I think that's enough for
today.

Yeah.
