ROXY: Previously, on Almost Family...

EDIE: Amanda and I... it's complicated.

I guess complicated is
another word for unethical.

You're fired, Edie.

I really hope that you
get some help, Roxy.

Oh, no, I wouldn't need help.
I would do it right here,

- right now with my bare hands.
- Do you see

what I'm talking about? This is
what we all had to deal with.

We are not the same.

One dead mom doesn't equal another.

Now can you please disappear?

I never know what's
going on with Olivia.

She lost her mom, and
she needs all of you.

And I... I can't stand
in the way of that.

I know that too much
has happened between us

for us to get back together,

but would it be okay if we hung out?

- I'd like that.
- How do you like my odds

- at getting resentencing?
- I think you have a really good shot.

If he tried to use his newfound

closeness with you to persuade

your mom to back off her
sexual assault charge.

- That hasn't happened.
- Good.

Because that would be witness tampering.

Nathan tells me you're on the hunt

for a long-lost father.

I think my mother may have
met him at a dance class.

WYNDHAM: Spring Street
Dance is still around.

You should drop by.

- What?
- Nothing.

I'm just... I think you
should wear the blue one.

It's sexier.

Hey, I'm sorry I was so
hard on you about Miles.

The truth is, I miss you,

and I want you to come back.

So come back, okay?

EDIE: "The prosecution has cherry-picked

actions and statements of Dr. Bechley

in a flimsy attempt to
establish intent and motive,

but we intend to present
a counter-narrative

in which..."

What? Why'd you stop?

(INHALES SHARPLY)

I feel asleep at "counter-narrative".

Fell asleep?

Why? What's wrong with that?

I know you think you're
rebutting Amanda's argument,

but you're just reinforcing it.

Your opening statement is your time.

Don't spend it talking about her.

This entire case is about intent.

We can't argue with DNA.

Then don't make it about
DNA. Make it about people.

That's what she's gonna do.

She's gonna march in
every former patient

with an ax to grind.

See, that's why we need you

back on this case.

(CHUCKLES)

I was removed from
this case by the client.

I have other work now.

Well, we are better as
a team. You gotta agree.

I agree. We do work well together.

I mean... you know what
I mean, professionally.

Even in law school. That's
where we really shined.

I kind of felt like
we shined last night.

Isaac, I'm ready to restart

the fertility process for myself.

Great. Yeah.

It should be simple enough
to schedule an egg retrieval.

Actually, no, I'm thinking
about doing something

a little bit more immediate.

I want you to just get me pregnant.

No, not you! I mean, like, with a donor.

Yeah.

I mean, you're ready to have a baby now.

I know this seems like a leap

because I already pumped the
brakes on freezing my eggs,

but I keep seeing
everyone around me going

for what they want and not waiting.

So I'm thinking, "This is what I want.

I know that. So what am I waiting for?"

I hear you. It makes sense.

I'll... I'll start forwarding
you some donor profiles, and...

Wait. You're not going to object?

Sounds like you've thought this through.

So...

Thank you. I... I have.

But if you were going to object,

you would probably say that this is

just me reacting to the stress

of my dad's trial starting,

and that is not... not true.

No, I wasn't gonna say that.

Or that I'm just trying to fill the void

after my breakup with Donovan,
which is also not true.

I mean, not totally...

Julia, I trust you to make good choices.

Thank you.

That is very unfamiliar.

I also need to ask you for a favor.

Okay. Okay.

So I got... I got a notice from
the immigration authorities.

They flagged my file,
and I got a lawyer now.

She advised that I submit
some character references,

especially from my job.

Oh, my... yes, of course.

Um, did you just need
a letter? That's all?

Yeah, that's all.

You let me go on about all that

when you're dealing with this?

I know, uh, but thank you for the help.

Um, so I'll go set up your
first hormone treatment,

and... let's make a baby.

(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)

MARTY: Thanks for coming in to meet.

Don't thank me, Marty.

Thank your lobby for having

great iced coffee.

So... what do you want?

Well, you know that interview
we did with you and Nina...

Oh, you mean that ambush?

Yeah, it didn't go quite as planned.

So we thought we'd have a do-over.

You don't get those often in sports.

Yeah, so the network wants to be

on the right side of history.

And, uh, you know, since
you've been through so much,

and since you're such a crusader,

um, you should be able
to redeem yourself.

Redeem myself?

Is this about being on
the right side of history,

or is about the tsunami of "Hater-ade"

you've been chugging from my followers?

Yeah, well, one of them threatened

to wear my testicles as earrings.

Hmm.

Anyway, it spooked one or two
of the advertisers, and so...

So you need my help to
stop you from bleeding cash?

Look, Marty, if you really wanna

make this right, I may
have an idea for you.

Well, I'm listening.

Don't give me some
sad, little interview.

You do a commentary segment
in every episode of your show.

Put me on that.

You want me to put you on
during The Huddle?

Yeah, that's what I want.

And you'll call off the hounds?

They're adults.

This is not a circus.

This is not a sports arena.

This is not your living room.

Whatever you do out on the sidewalk

is your business,

but in this room, I will have order.

Now that we're clear on that,

Ms. Doherty, your opening argument.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, facts are clear.

The defendant fathered
dozens of children

in his capacity as a fertility doctor,

defrauding his patients
and causing untold trauma

to the women who trusted him.

But this is not a case about DNA.

This is a case about people.

I will prove that the defendant
perpetrated these assaults

as an attempt to populate the world

with his own "superior" genes.

But don't take my word for it.

Listen to the defendant's own words

from an interview that he gave in 2007.

"Genetics is not exact,

but it's obvious that
certain genetic variations

can lead to more favorable
outcomes in life".

The defendant has shown
that he'll do anything,

even flout the consent of
the women on his exam table,

to achieve those "outcomes".

He and privileged men like him

need to get the message
that we as a society refuse

to tolerate that kind
of behavior anymore.

So help me send that message now

and deliver a verdict of guilty.

Amanda is no joke, clearly.

Leon's team will get their chance.

I wish you would reconsider

Leon Bechley made me discuss

the most intimate details
of my life... of my body.

When I told him about my sexual history,

I thought it was so he could
help me and my husband.

He preyed on me in the name of science.

I came back for visit after visit.

WOMAN: He knew what he
was doing the whole time.

He always had the power.

I remember the day we brought in

a picture of Roxy... for that wall.

Leon looked so proud,

and now I know why.

Because he knew that I had
spent the last nine months

with his child growing inside me.

That must have given
him some sick thrill.

Objection, Your Honor.

This witness is providing
a nonresponsive narrative.

I'll allow it.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Doyle, please continue.

I wouldn't trade my daughter
for anything in this world,

and I don't love her any

my family has endured.

Yeah, so first, they twist my words

and now my actions.

"Sick... sick thrill?"

the damage will be done.

She wanted her story on the record.

Whose side are you on?
Look, you know, I...

I was with Roxy all
through her addiction.

I'm the one who called Diane
when Roxy hit rock bottom.

I mean, she should be thanking me.

I should what?

- No.

That one phone call makes up

for everything you've done to us?

Let's just get out of here. Okay?
Just... just don't... don't...

I'll tell you what I've done.

I have been more of a parent
to Roxy than anyone else has.

You don't know anything about my family!

While you were watching
Roxy from a laptop,

I was raising her.
