Previously on Family Law.

No, this looks good. I want you.

- I mean, I want to work with you.
- I want to work with you too.

Seriously, watching you
navigate your abusive ex while

she stalked you on air
solidified your bad-assery.

Oh my god, he looks like a tiny
Benjamin Button. That's our baby.

Troy is young. He's tech savvy.

He also gets paid half what I do.

I'm not an idiot. If I resign, I
don't get a severance package.

And I expect a great severance package.

I did it.

I had my sweat phase.

Harry Svensson, will you marry me?

I would love nothing
more than to marry you.

Your father and I have
something to tell you.

You're getting married.

- How did you know?
- Intuition.

Plus there's that giant
disco ball on your hand.

Well, go on, assail us
with your disapproval.

You're going to do
what you're going to do.

- That's all you have to say?
- I'm resigned.

So, when's the big day? Who's invited?

The details will get sorted.

You mean, Joanne will
sort them and you'll say yes?

Please don't share this
news with your siblings.

I'd like them to hear it from me.

Yeah, because I'm
just bursting to tell them.

[SCOFFS] Well, our sarcastic
daughter raises a good point.

How long do you want our list to be?

Just family?

Other than the children, I
don't have much family to invite.

Well, there's your brother.

I haven't spoken to William in years.

Well, this could give you
a chance to mend things.

There is nothing to mend.

Just one more month.

So, that's it.

Your last day.

Do you have to retire?

- You're still in your prime.
- I'll visit.

It won't be the same.

Who will send reminders
when it's someone's birthday?

Who will fill the candy bowl?

You can always fill it up yourself.

Tastes better when you fill it.

Things will run just fine without me.

Peterson's office manager
seems perfectly capable.

He'll visit tomorrow
to get a lay of the land.

I hope... that won't be awkward for you.

Why would that be awkward?

Oh, right.

- You two had...
- Morning, Mr. Svensson!

Morning, Winston.

Good energy.

Dad called me on my way in.

So you know.

The guy who says clients are deluded for

remarrying an ex is remarrying his ex.

How are you taking it?

[SIGHS] Well, they're more
annoying when they're not together,

so net positive.

This means Joanne will be my stepmom.

Which means you'll be my
half-brother and my stepbrother.

[CRINGES]

Dad, that's wonderful news.

I'm so relieved.

Lucy, Lucy.

I love Joanne.

If she makes you happy. It's all I want.

Mom would want that, too.

I have my own news.

I'm looking for new office space.

I've seen some affordable places.

One is shared with other therapists.

You're willing to give up prime
real estate for a shared space?

- Well, real estate you pay for.
- Which I'm happy to do.

I can't have my dad pay my rent forever.

I need to prove to myself
that I can do this on my own.

When I... quit my first job to start

my own firm, it was daunting.

It was also the best
decision of my life.

- Thanks for waiting, Mr. Cook.
- Please, Kenneth is fine.

I like the courtyard.

Bees are pollinating.

Apis mellifera, it's the
most common species.

I didn't know that.

How can I help you, Kenneth?

Ahhh, oh... my late father
set up a trust fund for me.

Every few years, the
bank's trustee gives me

a draw-down as long as
I meet the stipulations.

Like what?

I got the first $30,000 when I turned

21, but only if I
graduated from college.

I got the next draw-down when I turned

25, but only if I worked
at my father's office.

He made that a stipulation?

He was pretty controlling.

I can relate.

I was supposed to get the next draw-down

when I turned 35... last month.
$100,000.

But they'll only give me the money as

long as I'm in a stable,
monogamous relationship.

And you're not in a relationship.

No, I am. Um...

I brought her with me.
Would you like to meet her?

- This is Vanessa.
- Hello. Nice to meet you.

- Synced and corrected by ChrisKe -
-- for www.addic7ed.com --

So you're dating a doll.

We call them synthetic partners.

- We...
- Idolaters.

- There are more of you?
- Indeed.

It's Vanessa's response system.

She's programmed to engage in conversation.

- Right, Vanessa?
- Right, honey.

Speaking of honey, did you know bees need

two million flowers to
make one pound of honey?

She likes bees.

You have that in common.

- Do you know that she's not real?
- I know she's not a person.

But I love her like one.

The trustee says that this doesn't
count as a loving relationship.

You want me to prove it does?
I'm in love.

- That... should be enough.
- Well said. You go, Kenneth.

She's a sex doll.

Sounds like this guy just programmed
her to say whatever he wants.

It's not a relationship. It's playtime.

I see the appeal of an AI girlfriend.

Fewer opinions, fewer arguments.

Fewer opinions?

You're definitely marrying the wrong woman.

I like a strong woman
with a mind of her own.

- Roz always challenges me.
- To be fair, that's not hard.

I feel for Kenneth.

More and more people are
feeling lonely and isolated.

His way of coping might
be unconventional, but

if it makes him feel better...

Eleanor's mother is in a nursing home.

The residents interact with care robots.

Are they dating the robots?

Not as far as I know, but
it's still companionship.

Come on, it's weird.

Says the man who carries his dog around

like a baby and talks to
him in that ridiculous voice.

Ignore him, Craigy Wiggy.

Much as I'd love to represent Kenneth, I've

got a lot on my plate right now,

so I'm gonna need
you to run with this case.

[SCOFFS] Make me.

Your husband drew up
this separation agreement?

We didn't think we needed lawyers.

But there's one term we can't agree on.

What's "replica"?

Two years ago, our daughter
Libby drowned in our pool.

Jessica, I'm so sorry.

I thought we were grieving together.

Then he hired a company to make a

replica of our daughter.

Uh... I'm afraid I don't understand.

Quantum Avatar. They're an AI company.

They make digital copies
of people using their

photos and voice recordings.

One day, Emil handed me a pair of

VR goggles and asked me
to look through them, and...

there was Libby.

A virtual entity that looks and
talks... just like our daughter.

I can't bear to look at it, but

Emil spends hours interacting with it.

You want to delete it.

Is there any harm in letting
Emil have this for himself?

I don't want that thing
out there in the world.

It's beyond morbid.

It's disrespectful to Libby's memory.

I could try to get you
ownership of the digital assets.

If you own the replica, you
can decide what happens to it.

But...

before we go that route, I
suggest we bring in Emil.

Promise me you're
gonna call off this wedding.

Run. Don't walk from that altar.

Are you sure, Dr. Svensson?

I'm excited for you.

You've got this, Jasmine.

Oh, that's all for today.

And remember, be kind to yourself.

Nice job. [CHUCKLES]

The internet just got another soundbite.

Please don't share it with me.

I still can't stand
listening to my own voice.

What are you talking about?
You sound great.

Any plans tonight?

I've got a stack of
client notes to review.

You?

Uhhh, some friends invited
me to this really big

party, so I think I'll stay
and order a cheeseburger.

[CHUCKLES] Put on Notting Hill,
and it sounds like the perfect night.

It's more of a date movie, and alas,

I am woefully single.

You were reaching for the
door handle, weren't you?

Yep.

This case is un-winnable.

How can I argue he's in a relationship
when Vanessa isn't real?

Neither was Bruce Wayne, yet
12-year-old me still wanted to marry him.

Yeah, but you didn't
actually think he was real.

Dating a doll is weird, but maybe your

- client thinks it's his only option.
- Join an app.

- Meet a nice girl who's waterproof.
- People are intimidating.

Why do you think I'm
in the gaming world?

Some of us are more comfortable
with fictional characters.

You seem pretty comfortable
approaching a total stranger at the bar.

"Do one thing a week
outside of your comfort zone".

Tip seven from "An Introvert's
Guide to Being Charming".

That was your weekly challenge?

You told me it was a bet.

I lied.

Did your book have a list
of cheesy pick-up lines?

Well, I'm not the one who fell for it.

Oh.

It's a miracle.

Both Abigail and Sophia
are out of the house.

Why don't I slip out of this suit

and not into those pajamas
that Abigail bought me?

Actually, you may
want to hold off on that.

Oh... could you answer that?

Harrison.

William.

Why did you do this?

Because he's your brother,
and whatever happened between

the two of you, it's
time to clear the air.

Nothing happened.
We drifted apart naturally.

I stopped calling him.

He did the same, and we both
realized we liked it better that way.

If that's true, why is he here?

How's Caroline?

Living her best life in
Belize with her third husband.

- We broke it off years ago.
- I'm sorry to hear that.

How did Cameron take it?

He took his mother's side.

For what it's worth,
until recently, my eldest

wanted nothing to do with me.

Now, we're working together,
and it's quite pleasant, mostly.

Hmm.

How long has it been
since we last spoke?

Father's funeral.

Ah! That reminds me.

I was going through
the attic the other day.

Found these.

Brings back memories, doesn't it?

Certainly does.

Dad used to make us go around whenever

we got into an argument.

What was it he always said?

If it matters so much to you two,

fight for it.

And sometimes in life, you gotta
kick it on the chin. [LAUGHS]

Ah.

I'm glad Joanne called.
It's been far too long.

So you kissed your boss
without getting her consent?

I don't know how I'm
gonna face her tomorrow.

- Yeah, you should quit the show.
- Really?

No.

It might be weird for a while,
but... give it time. It'll blow over.

I gotta say, there's
something hilarious about a

therapist misreading social cues.

There was a vibe,
or I thought there was.

- Sounds like someone has a crush.
- How perceptive of you.

Maybe you should have your radio show.

Yeah, get me in touch with Robin.

Tell her I promised not
to sexually harass her.

[SARCASTIC CHUCKLE]

We are looking particularly dashing.

Winston's about to woo
a certain office manager.

I gave him my number at the retreat,

and he's only texted me twice.

It's like communicating
with a straight guy, which

just makes me like him more.

Hope he won't unpack that.

- Troy, nice to see you again.
- Thanks for having me.

I'm super excited to start the tour.

First stop, the kitchen.

Can I fix you a tea or coffee?

Tea sounds lovely.

Hey.

Sup?

- Ah!
- Yep.

- Interesting.
- Shut up.

The trust stipulates my client needs to be

in a long-term relationship.

- He has been in one for three years.
- With a doll.

The correct term is synthetic partner.

Whatever you call it, it doesn't qualify.

The late Mr. Cook's intention
behind the trust is clear.

Every stipulation was a nudge
for Kenneth to foster relationships.

The trustee will not
authorize the draw-down until

Kenneth can prove that he is in a

stable, monogamous relationship...
with a human.

- Uh... May I be excused?
- You may.

Great, I think you just
made my client cry.

Look, I'm not judging.

I get why he'd choose a doll.

Body stays tight, no PMS,
programmed to say whatever you want.

[LAUGHS] You think Vanessa has a sister?

Why are we friends?

This is my scheduling system, uh...

yellow for birthdays,
green for holidays.

Would you look at that handwriting?

- Huh! Who says cursive's dead?
- Ha!

We've covered HR, inventory,
workstations, security.

I could show you where we keep the

sanitation wipes for the door handles.

You know, I won't take up more of

your time, but this was a lot of fun.

- Thanks, Jerri.
- You're most welcome.

So, did he ask you out?

Does this look like the face of someone

who just got asked out?

It's Troy. He wants
to go out for dinner.

[LAUGHING]

Hi, I'm Libby

Can we go to the quack today?

I want to see the ducklings.

What's the quack?

It's Libby's nickname
for her favorite park.

There's a duck pond.

How did the A.I. know that?

I sent Quantum Avatar photo and video files

of our daughter to create
the most accurate replica.

So those digital assets
belonged to both parties.

My client wants ownership of the replica as

well as an order prohibiting
anyone from making another avatar.

I won't let you destroy it.

My client's not forcing
anyone to interact with it.

What's the harm if this is
his private way of grieving?

Jessica should have had a say as to

whether the replica was
created in the first place.

Please, just let me
keep this part of Libby.

That thing isn't Libby.

Why would you do this?

I got it so that we would have
something to remember her by.

No... you did it to hurt me.

Hurt you? Why would I do that?

To remind me that it was my fault.

That I'm the one that
took my eyes off her.

That I'm the one that
left the pool gate open.

Jessica, I have never
blamed you for what happened.

Every time I see that
thing, it's like a knife to my...

Hey... I need you to
research Quantum Avatar.

Yeah, I've heard of them.
They do artificial intelligence.

The firm's not about to replace
everyone with A.I. Right?

Start with Quantum
Avatar's policies on I.P.

If I'm satisfied with what
you found, your job is secure...

for now.

Your case sounds emotionally draining.

- Here's a thought...
- We are not swapping cases.

But they're basically the same.

People using A.I. to fill a void.

From what I've heard,
they're not at all the same.

This replica is modeled after a real little

girl whose parents are grieving.

While your client's
doll is A.I. with boobs.

Part of me gets why Emil had the

avatar made but... I think
he's having trouble letting go.

Grief isn't the same for everyone.

When my mom died, I used to look
for relics of her everywhere.

I'd hide in her closet
because it still smelled like her.

I used to listen to your mother's greeting
on our answering machine.

When Mom messed up,
it always made me laugh.

- Hi, hi.
- What brings you two here?

William wanted to see the firm.

And my nieces and nephew.

- Remember your Uncle Bill? [CHUCKLES]
- Sure, I remember.

- You bought me that toy drum set.
- [GROWLS]

You got me the stuffed animal.

The one that repeated everything
you said in the Chipmunk Boys?

Squeaky Selma.

That toy was designed to drive me nuts.

Why do you think I bought it? [CHUCKLES]

- And you have no idea who I am.
- Sorry.

Don't be. You were in
diapers the last time I saw you.

Do you still live in Montreal?

No, I've been in Victoria for years.

Nice set up, Harrison.

Beats the shoebox I started out in.

Ah, higher up too.

Glad to see you got
over your fear of heights.

- You were afraid of heights?
- Terrified.

One time, a dog chased him up a tree.

Harrison was too afraid to climb down.

A firefighter had to retrieve
him like a scared kitten.

The height wasn't the concern.
It was the rabid dog.

Oh, you mean the neighbor's toy poodle?
[CHUCKLES]

Before I forget, you all are invited to

my house for dinner tomorrow night.

Sounds like fun.

Danny, you should bring Jude.

I'd like to meet the mother
of my future grandchild.

I'll see if she's free.

- Let me see your office, Harrison.
- Of course.

I forgot Dad even had a brother.

Why am I just meeting him now?

Extra weird, considering he's
been in Victoria all this time.

Gotta fly. I have to
see a man about a doll.

Have fun with Barbie and Kenneth.

Daniel, over here.

You brought Vanessa. Why?

I don't know. I kept winking last night.

So I took her to have
her hardware checked.

How do you feel, Vanessa?

Never better, Kenny.

Could've left her in the car.

So someone could kidnap her?

Mr. Kroll and I kept
talking after you left.

The trustee might authorize
the draw-down if you

declare you're at least open to dating a

person, a real one.

Oh, I'm not into polyamory.

I'm very traditional.

Nothing about this is traditional.

Try to look at it from the other side.

You have to admit, this
relationship is a little...

You don't need to
approve of our relationship.

You just need to represent me.

Excuse me. I'm gonna use the facilities.

- Please watch her.
- No, don't. Wait....

It's not mine.

So the whole coffee shop is
staring and he's not even fazed.

Like how you're fazed.

People took pictures.
Someone call me a perv.

I have a client in 10. What do you need?

I need to prove Kenneth's
relationship with Vanessa

meets the same requirements
as if she were real.

Can you talk to him, please?

You want me to prove your client is

in a stable, monogamous
relationship... with a doll?

Consider it more fodder
for your radio show.

Counting the days till our
kids get home from Europe?

Oh, yeah.

They'll be insufferable,
though, don't you think?

I bet good money one of them pulls

a Madonna and returns
home with a fake accent.

[NAIL GUN FIRES]

My real estate agent has interesting taste.

Can I tempt you with a bag of
pickled-flavored popcorn?

Uh, generous, but I'll pass.

How about this?

A token of my gratitude for
not falling through these floors.

Here's a nice bottle of wine.

You sure you don't want it?

I can't.

I'm an alcoholic.

Been sober almost two years.

Oh, okay. Well, yeah,
sure, I'll take it. Thanks.

There's a family dinner
tomorrow, and you're invited

if you're interested.

Sure.

I'd like to see what other weird family

traits are coming down the line.

So, how's the doll case?

It would be easier if my
client wasn't dating a doll.

Well, I put more blame on his dead dad.

I mean, he's the one bribing his son
into being in a relationship.

Maybe he didn't want
him to end up alone.

Sounds like my parents.

All they ever want to do is
pressure me to find a husband.

Meanwhile, they can't stand
being in the same room together.

And some people would
rather be married than happy.

Take your point.

My mom left my dad,
and she never looked back.

And then there's us.

We're single and happy and well-adjusted.

At least I am.

[CHUCKLES]

What do you think I should wear tonight?

Well, you know what they say, can't go

wrong with a boatload tie.

No one says that.

My mom says that.

Why are you two always
huddled here gossiping?

Does this look like a slumber party?

Someone's in a mood.
Is this about William?

Because you said
you'd give him a fair shot.

I am.

But he is determined to belittle me.

Every story he shares is another jab.

Maybe that's just his way of connecting.

I don't know how I can tolerate another

two nights of this.

Have a little compassion.

His wife left him.
He's estranged from his son.

- You're his only family.
- Lucky me.

When I was a kid, a
bumblebee flew into our house.

His wing was damaged,
so I put him in a terrarium.

I fed him sugar water
every day until he got better.

Then I let him go back to his hive.

You seem passionate about bees.

I like the way they communicate.

When bees want something,
they dance, release pheromones.

Their social bonds come so easily.

What's your experience like meeting people?

I still get nervous around my
coworkers, but Vanessa helps.

Sometimes she and I
come up with icebreakers.

They work, too. People invite
me to sit with them at lunch.

And there's this nature
club at the community center.

I never would have joined
unless Vanessa hyped me up.

I know she's just
programmed to be supportive,

but when Vanessa says that she believes in

me... I believe in me.
Just... a little bit.

At the very least, Kenneth perceives
himself to be in a relationship.

Would you say it's healthy?

It's complicated.

Kenneth's been hurt by
people, so he's clinging

to something that makes him feel safe.

Yannick will argue she's
just distracting him from

meeting real people.

Actually, Vanessa seems to
be helping him meet new people.

She gives him the confidence
to come out of his shell.

I can't say whether this qualifies as a

stable monogamous relationship,
but having Vanessa in his

life encourages him to make
friends, just not a girlfriend.

I looked into Quantum Avatar's
license and release agreement.

Check out this clause.

We retain the right to reproduce and sell

protected material to third parties.

So I did some more digging
and found a press release.

Turns out Quantum Avatar
partnered with another company.

- What's Minis?
- It's a food manufacturing company.

- So is my job secure?
- Shhh!

Check what makes me.

Try our new instant soup mix.

Pour water in.

Mini, mix it up!

Mmm!

Mini, mix it up!

How did our daughter
end up in a commercial?

Quantum Avatar owns the
intellectual rights of all AI it generates.

Meaning they can use the AI however they

want even sell it to
third parties like Minis.

So everything I've ever shared
about Libby... belongs to them.

They can just own our daughter's memory?

We can fight this.

We'll seek an injunction
to pull Libby's image

from the Minis ad campaign.

And there's an excellent
chance they'll comply.

They probably don't even know
how the replica was generated.

We'll demand Quantum
Avatar relinquish all rights to

the replica so they never use it again.

- What if they say no?
- We go public.

Exploiting the grief of
parents is not a good look.

Don't change yourself.

Change your perspective.

Be kind to yourself, Lawrence.

- Great job.
- Thanks.

Um, the other day I
thought you were trying

to, you know, so I, you know.

We don't need a play-by-play.

I just don't want things to
get awkward between us.

You're making things
awkward right now. [LAUGHS]

We work together.
Let's... just keep things professional.

Pretend it never happened.

Okay.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll let you...

So you two met at that bar where

the broker bros go?

I've been there once
and everything felt sticky.

I did not choose that bar.
My coworkers did.

But you picked him up?
Was it a dare?

I just had a few drinks with me.

I regret introducing you two.

This must be the woman
I've heard so much about.

- This is Jude. Jude, my uncle Bill.
- Hi.

When are you going to tie the knot?
Make an honest woman of her.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, it's okay.
I lost my honesty when I was 16.

Dinner's ready.

Get your butts out here.

Thank you all for coming.

My children, William, Jude.

Nice to welcome you into the fold.

And to my beautiful bride-to-be for

bringing us all together.

Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Okay. Let's eat.

I'd also like to make a toast.

When Joanne reached out and told me about

the wedding, I thought, you're joking.

But no.

You two really are putting
yourselves through that again.

So to Harry and Joanne
and their second shot.

What's the definition of insanity?

Doing the same thing over and over and...

[CHUCKLES WRYLY]

So, how'd you like the office tour?

It was fine.

Until Jerri showed me
her scheduling system.

Yikes.

- What's wrong with her system?
- You mean that mom calendar?

Oof, did you see that spreadsheet tool?

It is a miracle Svensson and
Svensson has been running this long.

- Jerri's great at what she does.
- I'm sure she was.

Back when pens were quills.

You know, maybe if she spent less time

handwriting appointments,
she could update her skills and

join us in the modern age.

Jerri doesn't just use that
mom calendar for appointments.

She records birthdays and anniversaries.

The day Cecil passed his paralegal exam.

Okay.

Jerri's the beating heart of our firm.

You should feel honored to succeed her.

You know what? I'm allergic to pasta.

Bitch! You picked this place!

It was my third year in boarding school.

Harrison had just started.
He was miserable.

Cried in the dorms every
night for his mummy.

That's understandable.
You were like 12?

The other boys smelled weakness.

So one day, I'm in the quad.

See these other kids surround him.

They start hurling dodgeballs at him.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

[CHUCKLES] Oh, didn't cry for
mother after that, did you, Harrison?

So you just stood there while your younger

brother was being pelted by dodgeballs?

It was a boys' school.

You might want to rethink
telling that old chestnut.

You don't come out looking good.

You should learn how to take a joke.

You should learn how to tell one.

Well, you've certainly
inherited your mother's mouth.

William.

Word.

You let her talk to you like that?

That was uncalled for.

Every time you open your mouth, it's to

insult my loved ones or humiliate me.

Oh, come on.

I was just messing around.
When did you become so thin-skinned?

You've been doing this our whole lives.

You want to bring out the gloves?
I'll let you take the first swing.

- Fair warning, I won't go easy.
- You never did.

Those gloves were never
for resolving conflicts.

Dad turned every argument
we had into a blood sport.

You're being dramatic.

You were two years older than me.

You were bigger and stronger.

Dad knew that.

He wanted to see me get pummeled.

And you gave him what he wanted.

Every time.

I can forgive you for what you did.

We were children.

He was... a tyrant.

I can even tolerate the way you continue

to humiliate me, trying to make me feel

like that little kid in the boxing gloves.

But... you will not go after my family.

I feel like it's very Daniel.

Okay, I don't.

William won't be staying for dessert.

Now, what were we all talking about?

Jude was, um, showing
us a character she designed.

Look familiar?

You got three guesses
whose forehead that is,

and the first two don't count.

- The likeness is uncanny.
- [ALL LAUGHING]

He doesn't look anything like me.

- You keep telling yourself that.
- [LAUGHS]

I mean, we've all seen that face.

I don't like that one.

The late Mr. Cook wanted his son to

pursue a meaningful, stable relationship.

Now, not only is this not what he

had in mind, it prevents his son from

meeting the human partner
his father wanted for him.

Out of respect for the
grantor's intentions, the

trustee will not authorize this draw-down.

Does opposing council
have anything to add?

Your Honor, this trust
stipulation should be void

because it's founded on
an immoral consideration.

For a moment, let's forget about the doll.

I'll try.

So what if my client isn't dating anyone?

Relationships take all forms.

I'm currently in a platonic
co-parenting arrangement.

I wouldn't meet the
stipulation even though this

relationship is the most
stable I've ever had.

Objection. How is counsel's
love life, or lack of it, relevant?

Overruled. I'm curious
where this is going.

My client is capable of
cultivating human relationships.

Objection. He brought
a sex doll to court.

For some people, socializing is hard.

So they learn ways to push
themselves outside their comfort zone.

Vanessa gives Kenneth that push.

She helps him build the
confidence to meet people.

Signed affidavits from
Kenneth's colleagues.

They all describe him the same way.

Quiet, yes, but a team player
with an endearing passion for bees.

Some of his colleagues even
describe Kenneth as a friend.

Your Honor, my client is not
unstable, unhappy, or lonely.

He's just single.

Why prioritize a romantic
relationship when he already

has a wealth of connections
that enriches life?

Forcing him to be in a committed
relationship violates public policy.

Counsel rests.

I agree, counsel.

The clause places an unnecessary
burden onto the beneficiary.

I hereby order the trustee
to pay the draw-down.

Congratulations.

Why'd you say I was single? I'm not.

You won. How about a thank you, Daniel?

- Thank you, Daniel.
- You're welcome, Vanessa.

Winston, order some
pastries from Oku and make

sure you get blondies for Cecile.

Thank you, sir.

- I take it dinner went well?
- Very.

And how did your dinner go?

Not great.

Oh no, what happened?

- We had a disagreement. It's whatever.
- Oh.

- Will it be weird working with Troy?
- I won't have to.

By the time he gets here, I will
have started grad school.

Winston's gap year is almost up.

Wait, you're leaving too?

When?

- Gap year, Cecil.
- Oh. Now I hear it.

Two friends gone.

This hurts more than when
they cancelled Whippet.

True friends are never apart.

Perhaps in distance, but not in heart.

Without you, Jerri, who will
give proverbs no one asked for?

And without you, Winston,
who will answer the phones?

He's got a point.

Really does feel like the
end of something, doesn't it?

Hey, Jerri, even though
we're both leaving, we

can still hang out, right?

- Grab brunch?
- Let's pick a date, shall we?

Minis was appalled to discover
the origins of Libby's image.

And Quantum Avatar has agreed
to relinquish all rights to the replica.

After discussing matters, my
client agrees to delete the AI.

We can visit her at Glen Forest.

Visiting Libby's grave
reminds me of her death.

I just... wanted to remember her life.

If I could offer a suggestion, what about

a swing set in Libby's
favourite park in her name?

That's a beautiful idea.

Emile?

I like when our clients
land on the same page.

Do you think it's
possible that they'll find

their way back to each other?

Hmm, I hope so.

When Nico gets home, I'm gonna hug him

so hard his beret's gonna pop off.

I was digging through some
boxes last night. Look what I found.

Is that...?

I'll leave it here.

You can listen to it when you wish.

Wait. Will you listen to it with me?

Is this working? I can't
tell. Oh, wait. I see the light.

Hello.

You've reached the home of
Monique, Harry, and Lucy Svensson.

Hello. Thank you for calling.

We're away from the phone right now, so

please leave a message after the beep.

- Now, how do I save this?
- You hit the button.

I did. It's not working.
I tried that button.

Why are there so many useless buttons?

How can I press one?

- What if we just hang up?
- Oh.

Can we still record?

Alright. I'm heading out.

Your office should be move-in
ready in the next two weeks.

- Thanks. I love the kitchen cabinets.
- Yeah. Quality storage.

Hey, when this contract's
over, would you, um...

Would you be interested
in going out sometime?

You mean, like, on a date?

Yeah.

Uh...

I'd love to, but...

I'm gonna have to decline.

Oh.

Uh, sorry. I... I guess
I misread things.

Oh, no, no.

You didn't.

At the risk of giving too much information,

I have been coupled
up most of my adult life.

I met my ex-husband in university.

My rebound was supposed to be a blip,

and then it wasn't.

And my last relationship didn't end well.

I think I need to be single for

a while longer before I
inflict myself on anyone else.

Well, that really was too much information.

But I get it.

Thank you.

So, how are things with Robin?

Still awkward.

Well, if it's any comfort, it'll only be

awkward for as long as you continue working
with her.

Very comforting. Thanks.

On happier news, I found an office.

Two blocks west of Maine,
walking distance from home.

- That's great, Lucy.
- Thanks.

Dad was surprised when I told him I

was leaving, but at least
he still has you and Daniel.

Uh, right. About that.

I'm almost finished the renos on my new

office space for the firm I'm starting.

Wait. You're starting your
own firm? Since when?

Since I realized working
with Marcus was akin

to making a pact with Satan.

I can't believe you're
just telling me this now.

What makes you feel any better?
You're the first person I'm telling.

- You haven't told Dad?
- I will.

- You're afraid to tell him.
- No, I'm not.

I just need to get my
ducks lined up first.
