Nick Cameron,
you are a predator

who uses the trust girls
have in you

as their coach
for the worst possible gain.

If you were my girl,
I would never push you to go

and make out with other women.

You made me look like a fool.

Hello, sisters.
I'm confused.

You both have husbands named
Tim?

No, no, no, no.
Julia doesn't have a husband,

like, not even close.

-Nate, listen--
-Don't ever call me.

JULIA: Olivia lost her mom
and she needs you.

I can't stand in the way
of that.

I can't have met someone
as amazing as you

and not get to be with you.

[dramatic music]

There was this dance troupe,
Saint Paul's, maybe.

She wanted to run away
and join them.

-So what happened?
-Leon happened.

Your mom had a world
I wasn't a part of.

She went to a dance studio.

When she'd come home,
she was different,

like she left a piece of heart
there.

[cell door buzzes, clangs]

It's just so dope
that I have a sister.

I mean, who's also
a badass lawyer.

Well, I'm gonna do what I can,
Miles,

and there's a lot I can do.

But I have to run it
by my firm first

'cause they're not super big
on taking pro bono work.

Why?
What kind of firm is it?

Criminal defense,
a lot of rich clients

who are used to getting
what they want.

So basically,
me and a bunch of white dudes

defending other white dudes.

-And you like doing that?
-I like that

it's a top-rated firm,

and it gives me a chance
to shine.

I figure if I can make it
in that environment,

I can probably make it
anywhere.

That was my life in college:

just me and bunch
of lacrosse bros

from Westchester.

I just kind of had to,
um, you know...

-Blend in?
-Yeah.

It's a superpower:

don't notice me, but notice me.

EDIE: Well, Miles, you know,

the government's eased up
significantly

on nonviolent drug offenses
since you got convicted.

I do know that.
How do you like my odds

at getting resentencing?

You're a real good candidate.

You're a first-time offender,

no major
disciplinary infractions.

I think you have
a really good shot.

That's what I'm talking about!

-I have to run it by my boss...
-I know, I know.

It's just, um...that's
the first good thing I've heard

in a while.

[soft dramatic music]

I kind of forgot what
it feels like to be hopeful.

♪

JULIA: You know how they say
that things happen in threes?

EDIE: Isn't that
about people dying?

Edie, seriously.

What?
That's how I've heard it.

I'm just saying, first,
I find out

my father's not my father,
then Donovan and I break up,

and now I just have
this feeling, like,

this other
life-changing thing is

about to occur at any moment.

-[glass shatters]
-[screams]

Sorry.
Sorry!

-[sighs]
-That was loud.

Is that a hotel room key?

Huh?
Oh.

Are you staying at a hotel?

Did something happen
with Amanda?

We're just taking some space.

It just feels a little risky

to be living
under the same roof

while the trial is happening.

Yeah, that's smart.

We're also supposed to be
figuring out what we are...

as a couple.

Yeah, that's the worst,

especially when
what you figure out is

there is no "we."

There will never be a "we,"

and it's just gonna be you.

Alone...forever.

How are you doing?

I'll be better
when I have some answers

about my biological father
and my mom

and, um, the secret
dancing life she had.

I never saw her dance.

Tim says he saw her dancing
at a Christmas party once,

but I don't remember.

I'm sorry, hold on.
Wait, what? Tim?

Are you guys--you guys are
hanging out now?

I was helping him figure out
the online dating...

Julia, is Tim--Tim's dating?

He's single,
and--and that's what

single people do; they date.

Do you have a problem
with Tim dating?

No, no, not at all.
Of course not.

I don't--what?
I don't have a problem.

It's--I--I think
it's awe--I love it.

I think it's great.

He hasn't even gone
on a date yet.

Apparently,
those inboxes can freeze

because he got a lot
of messages,

and I guess--I don't know--
they can get jammed,

which mine never did that.

-I definitely didn't get--
-Okay!

Okay, all right.
Thank you, I get it.

You can--you can stop now.

Sorry.

LEON: I gotta say, it's great
to see you, Ted, really.

And how 'bout that tan?

Hey, six weeks in Bermuda,
lot of golf, lot of rum...

I highly recommend retirement.

It sounds wonderful.

So I was sorry to read
about your recent kerfuffle,

must be a real pain
in the rear.

It's been difficult,
not gonna lie.

Ah, you'll get through it.

Your bank account might
take a hit.

LEON: It's gonna hit
more than my bank account.

I have a trial coming up.

Yeah.
What is that supposed to be?

A Manhattan.

Would you like it made
differently?

I'd like it made correctly.
Is that possible?

-Mine--mine's fine, thanks.
-Oh, nonsense.

This is the man who perfected
blastocyst transfer.

You know what that is?
No, of course you don't.

You may not find it on Google,
but this man, he's a pioneer.

Huh.

That's, uh--that's very kind
of you to say, Ted, but...

It's true.

I'm not blowing smoke up
your ass.

I don't need to.

Actually, how would you feel

about saying some of those
kind words publicly

on the stand?

My legal team has tasked me

with finding
character witnesses,

and I've found it to be
more difficult

than I thought it would be.

I would be honored to speak
on your behalf.

I'll leave out the part
about you upchucking

on the piano at Bemelmans.

Well, of course you will
because it didn't happen.

It took three of us
to carry you out of that place,

if I recall.

Uh, thank you, young man.

Tell you what.

How 'bout after this
all blows over,

you and I get our behinds
back up to the Carlyle

for another round?

-Sounds like a plan.
-Yeah.

[glasses clink]

Hey.

-Thanks for coming.
-ROXY: Yeah.

Um, just FYI,
I'm not really down

for getting in the middle
of whatever's going on

between you and my sister.

Edie and I are fine, Roxy.

I actually just wanted
to see how you were doing.

I saw the statement you made
about your trainer.

Oh, yeah, um, a lot of people
saw that, apparently.

It's a big deal.
How you feeling about it all?

I feel pretty good, actually.

It's just a different fan base
than I'm used to.

I'm always surprised
when I meet survivors,

how there really isn't
one type,

could be the CEO of a company,

waitress,
even someone's mother.

You've gotten pretty close
with Leon since finding out

he was your biological father,
haven't you?

Yeah, I mean, we're getting
to know each other.

And I'm sure you're super smart
about keeping

appropriate boundaries
in place.

[tense music]

I'm not really following you,
Counselor.

You're not allowing
your relationship with Leon

to affect how you feel

about your mother's experience
with him.

What?
No.

-Why would I do that?
-If he tried to use

his newfound closeness with you
to persuade your mom

to back off
her sexual assault charge.

No, that hasn't happened.

Good.

Because that would be
witness tampering,

and that would not be good.

-JULIA: Hi.
-VALERIA: Oh, Miss Julia,

I don't have you in the book
for today.

I know, I'm sorry, Valeria.

-Um, I've just been walking--
-It's okay.

-I have one chair open.
-Oh, really?

That is so great.
[sighs]

Thank you.

I really need
some self-care today.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

-Just right there on the end.
-Oh, no.

I have some place I have to be.

Oh, no, don't move.

CHAD: Update on Bechley.

We have secured his mentor,
Dr. Theodore Lewis,

as an expert character witness,

which is great news for us.

CHAD:
But you're still at a deficit.

So keep thinking about other

potential strong witnesses,
okay?

Edie, you have something?

Yes, I do, Chad.

It is unrelated
to the Bechley case.

This is about a potential
new client,

a young African-American man
serving eight years

on what should have been
a minor possession charge,

totally stuck in the system.

I think if I can get him
in front of a judge,

I can get the sentence reduced.

It would require a lot of--

Assuming this a pro bono case?

And why would you assume that?

Yes, his financial resources
are limited.

Edie, I'm sorry.

It sounds worthwhile,
it really does, but--

Getting wrongfully sentenced,

nonviolent people back
to their productive lives is

absolutely worthwhile to me.

And I agree.

It's just not good business
for us right now.

-Are you okay?
-Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

It's okay; I'll find
another way to help him.

Chad's not the be-all,
end-all he thinks he is.

Sounds like a great case
for you.

Yeah.

It would be nice
to do some good,

to believe there's some justice
in the world again...

like we used to.

Yeah, and be able to relieve
a little of that karmic burden,

must be pretty heavy right now.

Yeah, that's probably true.

So how's it going with Leon?

To be honest...

It's not looking great.

Outside of Roxy and the mentor,

we have a couple
who's willing to say that

they're "happy to have
children regardless

of how they got here."

I'd be careful with that.

Prosecution will tear them
to shreds.

-Will she?
-Oh, yeah.

Edie, can I ask you something?

Do you have time later
to do a practice cross with me?

You want me to pretend
to be Amanda?

If it's not too weird.

Well, it's all weird, Tim.

Julia told me you're on Footsy.
How's that going? Met anyone?

Edie, you don't call the shots
in my life anymore,

and I sure as hell don't need
to fill you in

on my dating life.

Okay, never mind.
Sorry.

I'm just curious.

[inhales sharply]

Should be careful,
there's scammers out there.

Yeah, okay, I will.

[indistinct chatter]

And then I actually did
meet a guy right after,

a really nice guy.

But he already had kids
and he didn't want more

and his one kid really hated me
and so then we broke up.

Now I'm trying to figure out
who my real father is.

-Wow.
-So that's fun.

Just wow.

Yeah.

So I'm--I'm really sorry
about all of it.

I know.

Thank you.

How are you handling it all?

JULIA: I don't know,
day by day, I guess.

The craziest part is
I'm finding out

all these things about my mom
I never knew.

Like, she took these
life-changing dance classes

in the '80s,
and something tells me

that's where she met
my real father.

But I--I keep hitting
all these dead ends,

and it's really frustrating
and painful.

When was this?

JULIA: '87, '88.

What does Leon say
about all of it?

He doesn't wanna talk about it.

Oh.

It's just another secret
he kept from me, which is fun.

[sighs heavily]

I'm sorry, Julia.

-Pinot grigio helps...
-Mm.

Or Sancerre,
if you're feeling fancy.

How are you?
How's Richard?

We're great.
We're um...

[clears throat]
Yeah.

Everything's good.

[clears throat]

Good luck with your search.

I don't remember
the last time I had fondue.

Well, I was feeling optimistic.

Mmm.
It's so delicious.

So what are we feeling
optimistic about?

Well, I had a promising lunch
today with my mentor,

Dr. Theodore Lewis, and he has
agreed to come on board

as a character witness
for my trial.

So it's win.
More wine?

No, thank you.

Why?
What is it,

the cheese get cold?

-You don't remember?
-What?

I went to see him
before I came to see you

when I was trying to conceive.

He was a self-righteous,
pompous windbag.

[chuckles]
Well, I mean, yeah,

he does have a big personality.

No, I have a big personality.
That's no excuse.

Dr. Lewis ignored
every one of my questions

and made me feel like I was
a fool for even asking them.

I never felt so disregarded
and dismissed,

and I've felt both of those
before.

Yeah, well, that's terrible,
no excuse for that.

I do think
it's a generational thing.

He's from a different time.

-Okay, we're going there?
-Hmm?

"The good ol' days,"
when white men knew

what was right for the world.

Oh, now, Gen, that's not what
we're talking about here.

Come on.

Look, I--I get that he's not
for everyone,

but the man is a genius.

He's done more for the field,
for women,

than any physician out there.

Does he fit
in the current climate?

-No, but he is--
-Leon, please.

I hope you of all people aren't
trying to play

the old, tired
"but he's a genius" card.

Because that didn't fly with me
then,

it doesn't fly with me now,

and I don't think it's gonna
fly with the jury--

All right, damn it, Gen.

You know,
I'm facing prison here.

In case you hadn't noticed,
I'm not exactly swimming

in supporters.

It's not like I can
pick and choose my allies.

Now if I--if I had
a different card to play,

I would play it, okay,
but I don't.

Okay.

-I think I've lost my appetite.
-No, no, no, no.

No, no, you shouldn't--
I'm sorry.

-I didn't--
-No, no.

-It's okay.
-LEON: That's no reason to--

no,
but you don't have to leave.

I think we should call it
a night.

LEON: Why?
[stammers]

-[door opens, closes]
-[sighs deeply]

EDIE: How are you?

Happy to have the case
to focus on.

So I'm not thinking about you
every two seconds.

How's the hotel?

It's, um, weird,
except for the room service.

Room service is everything.

There's this burger that is
to die for.

You're back to being
a carnivore.

[laughs]

I wonder where that influence
came from.

So what's up?
Why'd you wanna meet?

There's this kid,
his name is Miles.

He's serving eight years
on a trumped-up drug charge.

His parole hearing's been
postponed three times.

I wanna take the case pro bono,
but Chad is shutting it down.

And where do I come in?

I was wondering
if you could just

take a look at the evidence,
see if there's any reason

your office opposed
resentencing.

Are you questioning
the integrity of my office?

No.

Sometimes things get
overlooked.

I just wanna make sure
that didn't happen with Miles.

I can't just pull strings
like that, Edie.

It's not exactly
pulling strings.

You're just facilitating access
to information.

Yeah.
No, sorry.

Okay.

Does this have anything to do

with me staying in a hotel
right now?

Not at all.

That was something
we both agreed on

until after the case is over.

Why is this kid so important
to you, exactly?

It's a case of someone who's
totally lost in the system.

His family's tapped out.

He has no one looking out
for him anymore...and--

And what?

Apparently,
he's my half brother.

Oh, now I understand.

That's not the only reason.

You know, sometimes, I think

that you're addicted
to dishonesty.

Wow.
Okay, that feels harsh.

Why not just tell me

he's your brother
in the first place?

It wasn't deliberate.
I just--

I didn't think it was relevant.

Now you're reminding me

of your father.

I'm sorry.

I can't look into it for you,
Edie.

I can't do that for anyone.

I gotta go.

[percussive music]

[exhales sharply]

Thank you.

-Nate!
-Ms. Bechley.

Um, what's going on?
Why are you here?

I mean, no--hi,
good to see you.

-Oh.
-I'm glad you're here.

Oh, we don't hug.
Oh, sorry.

I can't stop thinking about
this mysterious dance studio,

where your mother took classes

and the fact that it all
happened in the '80s and...

[exhales sharply]
I have an idea.

Can I steal you for a minute?

[piano music playing]

Isn't it amazing?

What is this place?

The Townhouse.

It's been around
since the '80s.

There's this whole generation
of gay men

that I am in awe of.

This is their hangout.

Can I introduce you to someone?

Yes.

Hello.

Nathan, how lovely to see you.

Wyndham, this is Julia Bechley.

Hello, Julia Bechley.
Pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

WYNDHAM: Nathan tells me you're
on the hunt

for a long-lost father
of some sort.

Yes, I guess I am.

It's--it's all
pretty complicated.

Darling, what isn't?

I think my mom may have met him
at a dance class

around 1987,
a place called St. Paul's.

St. Paul?
Oh, dear.

I haven't thought of him
for a month of Sundays.

Him?

WYNDHAM: Paul Saint,
or Saint Paul,

as he liked to call himself,

though he was anything
but saintly, let me assure you.

[laughs]

He taught
at Spring Street Dance Studio,

Irish, I think.

Or was he Scottish?
Scotch-Irish?

Either way,
he was a delight of a man,

very long legs.

Do you know how I might

be able to get ahold of him?

Does he live in the city?

WYNDHAM:
I'm afraid he's gone, my dear.

The '80s in New York was not
a good time for us.

We lost
so many beautiful souls:

painters, writers, musicians,
dancers.

I'm still not quite sure
how I,

or the art world
for that matter, survived.

But I'm grateful.

It's wonderful to be here.

Yes, it is.

But look at us now,

getting married, having babies,
families...

I am thrilled
for you and Richard.

What?
Are you having a baby?

-We are.
-Why didn't you tell me?

I just--your breakup.

I didn't wanna be
one of those people

who parades around--well,
here she is.

[laughter]

[gasps]
Wait, is that...?

A peace sign.

We think we might
name her Joni.

Marvelous.

I'm sorry I can't be
more of a help

with your search, Julia.

No, it's fine, Wyndham.

Paul sounds like
a really special man.

I'm glad my mom
got to dance with him.

You should be.

Spring Street Dance is
still around.

You should stop by.

Last I heard,
Joyce Tune is still there.

If anyone can help you,
she can.

♪

So what did Amanda
actually want?

She said she saw my statement,
and she wanted to know

how I was feeling about it all.

-Well, that's nice.
-Yeah.

Then she launched into this
whole thing

about Leon using me
to get to Diane.

Like, the only reason that
we're spending time together

is so I would get my mom
not to testify,

you know, like,
witness tinkering.

-Tampering.
-I like mine better.

I told her that, you know,
it's not like that with us.

We have a standing
backgammon game.

We hang out.
He's never once asked me

to talk to my mom
about the case.

What?

Nothing.

Do you think he's using me?

I can't tell you that, Roxy.

Can't or won't, Edith?

If I told you what I thought,

that could be seen
as witness tampering.

Okay, everybody's tinkering.

Tampering.

Do you think
if he wasn't our dad

we would ever defend him?

I don't think about it
in terms of right or wrong.

I think about it in terms
of legal versus illegal.

Wow.

You know,
if you were a superhero,

you would be
"The Compartmentalizer."

"She chops her life
into little chunks.

No two worlds will ever meet."

How's that working out for ya?

You're not gonna give me
the answers, are you?

You're gonna make me figure out
this Leon thing for myself.

[soft jazz music]

[scoffs]

EDIE: Where you going?

I'm going on a run.
I have to figure this out.

Clearly, you're not helping me.

-Tampering!
-ROXY: Tinkering.

We are very grateful
that you agreed to speak

on Dr. Bechley's behalf.

As I told Leon,
it is my honor.

[recorder beeps]

Mind pouring me a single malt

and one for these gentlemen too

-while you're at it?
-Oh, no, thank you,

um, actually, work.

Why don't we get a drink
when we're finished, Ted?

Fine.

I'll have a coffee with cream,
then--

actual cream, if possible,

though God forbid we should
inconvenience a cow.

-So Dr. Lewis...
-Yeah.

Why don't we begin
by you telling us

about your life and career?

Oh, Princeton undergrad,
Johns Hopkins Medical,

residency at Boston--liked,
did not love--

met a gal from New York,
got hitched,

set up shop on East 86th,

which is where
I met this rascal.

What were you, 22 when
I started supervising you?

I believe so, yes.

Ah, what a talent,
read medical texts in Latin.

I tried to tell him,
"Nobody cares.

All they care about is
getting knocked up."

But there he was
with his Corpus Medicorum,

always at the ready
with a quote.

-[chuckles]
-[door clicks open]

Ah, thank you, sweetheart.

In our day,
people trusted doctors,

let us do the job
we were trained decades to do,

and we did it fairly well too,
didn't we, Leon?

We did.
We, uh--we certainly did, Ted.

But you know,
I think we should stick--

You know where these people
would be

if they didn't have
the good fortune

to have Dr. Bechley
as their physician?

They'd be childless,

and then they'd probably wanna
sue him for that too.

Your passion is impressive.

Huh.

But I'm wondering
if maybe we could

dial back the volatility
just a bit.

You think this is volatile?

[chuckling]
He thinks this is volatile.

Tell him about that time
in New Haven

with the gas station attendant?

-Remember?
-I do, actually, yeah.

Guy tried to shortchange me.

Figures,
I'm driving a Mercedes.

I won't notice.
Well, guess what.

-You noticed.
-Damn right, I did.

[Dr. Lewis moans]

Think this will be
a good time to take a break.

LEON: I think
that's a--that's a great idea.

Oh, we're just getting started.

What's going on here?

Uh, Ted,
I will be forever grateful

for your mentorship
and your--your guidance, but--

DR. LEWIS: What is this?

Why do I suddenly feel like
the enemy here?

I so appreciate
your willingness

to stand by me.

I truly do,
but I don't think

that I need you to testify.

-I've--I don't--no, no, no, no.
-Wait--wait a second.

Now, Leon, we should
probably talk about that.

LEON: I think that your views
don't really align

with who I am anymore.

Well...

Good luck finding someone
who aligns with you,

whatever the hell that means.

[tense music]

ISAAC: I saw your statement.

ROXY: Yeah?

Look, I'm sorry, Roxy.

I, uh--I didn't know.

I mean, how could you?

I kind of buried it away
from everybody

including myself.

So what happened to the guy?
Did they arrest him?

They are closing down
all of his gyms,

and I guess they're doing
an investigation.

That's good.

It's good to see you.

You too.

Roxy Doyle?
Sorry to interrupt.

Um, I just wanted to say

thank you for your bravery.

After I saw your statement,
I talked to my husband

about something that
happened a long time ago

that I was ashamed of, and...

I don't know.
Just--thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

Does that happen a lot?

Yeah, it has been.
[laughs]

Have you ever heard
of the bonobo monkeys?

Oh, man, is this
gonna be another lecture?

Yes, yes,
but I promise it's interesting.

The bonobo species
of monkeys are

hard-core matriarchal.

Mm-hmm.

If a female is threatened
by a male in the tribe,

she makes this call,

this "this dude is messing
with me" sound.

And all the female monkeys
descend from the trees

and come running to save her.

They're not strong enough
on their own,

but together, they're a force.

You made the call.

Hmm.

Well, on the one hand,

you totally mansplained that
to me, but on the other, um,

I kind of really like that.

I made the call.

[sentimental music]

Hey, um, I know that too much
has happened between us

for us to get back together,

but would it be okay
if we hung out once in a while?

-I'd like that.
-Okay.

Come on.

♪

You okay?

Yeah, just--you know,
my mom was here.

That must be Joyce.

Oh!
[scoffs]

-Um, hi.
-Hi.

Um, are you Joyce?

Last time I checked.
So let me guess.

Uh, the wedding's next month,

and you don't know
how to waltz.

He--he's already married,
and I'm not.

-Uh-huh.
-And I know how to waltz.

-Congratulations.
-[chuckles]

So what do you need?

Actually,
I'm here, um, about my mom.

She took some dance classes
here in the '80s

with a guy named Paul Saint.

Her name was Sarah Bechley.

Sarah Bechley!

Oh, I haven't heard that name
in ages.

How is she?

She died, actually.

I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.
That's not really why I'm--

well, it's kind of why
I'm here, but, um...

so you knew her?

Do you remember her?

Of course I remember her.

How could I forget Sarah?

Can you tell me
what she was like?

I mean,
I know what she was like.

I just didn't know
what she was like here.

I didn't even know she danced.

She was a delight.

She loved being here.

She'd come two,
sometimes three times a week.

She seemed to just wanna
soak it all in.

And then one day, she was gone,
and I never saw her again.

You know,
you look just like her.

-I do?
-Yeah, you've got--

what do they call those?

Sled dog eyes,
the ice blue thing.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

Um, I think my mom, Sarah,
might have met my father here,

maybe in a class,
a dance partner.

Oh, I don't think so, honey.

All the fellas she danced with
were gay,

and unfortunately,
most of them are gone.

But don't get me wrong.
I mean, they loved her.

We all did.

She had such a sweet way
of dancing,

almost like a child, very free.

And you don't remember

her connecting with anybody
romantically?

I'm afraid not, dear.
I'm sorry.

No, that's okay.
Thank you, Joyce.

-Thank you.
-Yeah. All right.

-We should go.
-NATE: Thanks.

I mean, we're here.
Maybe we should dance.

No, uh--no, I don't want to.

So when you signed
the consent forms,

was it your understanding
that Dr. Bechley would perform

the procedure using sperm
that you selected

from a list of donors?

Yes.

So it is not accurate to say

that you consented
to Dr. Bechley using

any method of his choosing.

Technically speaking,
that is correct,

but it doesn't matter.

I love my kids.

I'm glad Dr. Bechley did
whatever he had to do

so that I could be their mom.

-No, she can't say that.
-It's how she feels.

Amanda can't poke holes
in how she feels.

Yeah, but if I'm Amanda,

I'm rewriting my closing
as we speak.

She said
that she loves her kids.

You can't argue with that.

Imagine a woman is raped,
gets pregnant as a result,

gives birth to the child.

She loves that child.

Does that mean
the rape was justified?

[softly]
Damn.

And that's Amanda on a bad day.

I can't put this woman
on the stand.

Nope.

So where am I gonna find
a patient

that I can put up
against Amanda?

Maybe you should try Footsy.

I'm sorry.

Come on, Edie, really?

[soft music]

It's just weird
to think of you dating.

I know I have no right
to say that.

I'm just still
wrapping my head around it all.

I'm still wrapping my head
