Hayley never had an ultrasound done.

Naomi, that's ridiculous. I saw the sonogram.

Dad... that was a fake she printed from online.

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

Those brats.

[phone chimes]

Yeah, right.

[phone chimes]

Oh...

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[laughs]

[door opens and closes]

What's so funny?

I wanted to discuss the lawsuit before today's hearing.

I know the drill. Keep my expectations low.

Lawsuits take time.

Actually, in this case, that might not be true.

Explain, please.

Mike is being particularly uncooperative.

We think he's trying to pressure Madison into settling.

Which you are not going to do because you did nothing wrong.

- Unless you and Bill think that we... - Dad and I have a plan.

In fact, if all goes well,

your case could be dismissed today.

I should be preparing for a hearing

in Madison's case right now.

But thanks to Naomi, Bill has completely shut me out.

It's not that big of a case, is it?

I mean, compared to some of the others you've worked on?

Any case that involves a member of Bill's family

is important to him.

Which means that me being shut out

is bad for my standing at the firm.

Well, on the bright side, you get to spend your afternoon

with me instead of that pig Mike Davis.

No offense, babe, but I'd rather be shredding Mike's arguments.

I hear you, but I've got a little surprise

that'll put you in a better mood.

? ?

I wish I could spend the whole day with you,

but I've got a meeting with a vendor

who wants to woo me with lunch.

Who's talking about wooing my boo?

He's hoping that I'll give in to his desire

to switch, to start using his brand

of surgical tape for the practice.

Well, you know what? You should make most of it.

Order a huge-ass meal.

Let me guess, and bring a doggie bag home to you?

I'm hitting the gym, so

a big meal with my baby would be a nice reward.

You got it.

I can't think of a better way to end my day

than by having leftovers with my man.

Hey, thank you for getting here so fast.

You never ask us to meet you at the last minute,

so we figured it must be important.

You know, if you need us to break a certain

stuck-up surgeon's hands, say the word.

Fellas.

There's no need for you to try to deprive me

of my livelihood, huh?

? Don't you waste my time. ?

Mike's refusing to provide some of the discovery...

The evidence we need... to show that the plaintiff's claim

that she relied solely on Madison's mom's blog is false.

We want to know exactly what she viewed online

around the time her child was sick.

Dad and I filed a motion to compel Mike to provide us

this data, and today's hearing

will allow us to argue that before a judge.

Can he just refuse to give you the discovery you're asking?

Mike's arguing that our requests are overbroad

and harassing, and I assure you, they're not.

But there's something about the way he's refusing to give us

this digital data that's making my legal spidey senses tingle.

You think Mike could be hiding something.

And if the judge grants our motion to compel,

then everything's out in the open.

And if my suspicions are correct,

not only could the lawsuit be dismissed, but, Madison,

you could counterclaim and demand damages.

Well, go for it.

This woman should pay for making Madison's life

a living hell for months.

Babe, are you up for some sweet revenge?

KAT: Ta-da!

It's our new ChelseaKat purse,

fresh from the factory, only available for pre-sale.

It's my way of thanking you for sticking by me

despite my crazy workaholism and occasional freak-outs.

Kat, in case you haven't noticed, I don't carry a purse.

Well, I didn't expect you to go full Jacob Elordi

with your accessories.

I thought you could give it to your abuelita.

I remember you telling me

how much she liked the clutch I gave to you for your mom.

She might, sure, but I...

I was trying to have a serious talk with you

about my career concerns, and you flip it over

to you giving one of your bags to my abuelita?

Well, pardon me for being considerate.

More like your mind was on promoting your bags

in Puerto Rico rather than listening to my concerns.

No, this bag is a legit gesture. It's not marketing.

Weren't you just talking to me not long ago about wanting

to connect with some Puerto Rican influencers?

I mean, yeah, I wouldn't be upset

if we developed a following there.

Right.

But that's not why I wanted to give you the bag.

But the way that you just leapt to that conclusion, wow.

- Then you all but admitted it. - No, I didn't.

You want to talk about career problems?

ChelseaKat just ended our partnership

with Takahashi and the Tokyo Fashion Collective.

But you don't see me sitting here complaining.

I'm building a new strategy.

Using your boyfriend's abuelita.

Okay, you need to stop with that, now.

Agreed.

Because it sounds like you think

you're the perfect girlboss, and I'm just a whiner.

Okay, you're twisting my words.

Oh, so now I'm a bad listener.

Got it. Thanks for all the support.

Just answering a text. No biggie.

So, how was the final night of your photo shoot?

Babe

it couldn't have gone any better.

Yeah, I got everything that I need,

and the client couldn't have been more ecstatic.

- As they should be. - Yeah.

My beautifully talented husband.

But the best part is, the rest of our time in Seoul is our own.

So what do you want to do?

I think we should check out... thank you... Lotte Tower.

That complex has so much to offer.

One of the highest skyscrapers in the world,

designer boutiques, an art museum,

- restaurants, and an amusement park. - Mm-hmm.

So that means that you have no idea

what you actually want to do, so you pick some place

that has a little bit of everything.

I am keeping my options open

and hoping that the vibes will direct us.

Uh-huh. Well, hopefully, the vibes

direct us to an amusement park,

since life with you has been a-a roller coaster.

And because of you, it has been a wild ride.

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

That texter's pretty persistent.

Who's blowing up your phone?

Caroline and I have set up

the conference call for the hearing.

Is that all that's been keeping you busy?

Yes.

You sound upset.

No, it's just, I realize that I haven't put

much thought into what you do when I'm not here.

I do my job.

I Shepardized the cases in your motion

and reviewed all the arguments in your motion to compel,

as well as correcting some of your citations.

Even Naomi had to admit that my work was on point.

It turns out Naomi has a lot more insight into you

than I've given her credit for.

Just wish she'd shared it with me sooner.

Bill, whatever you're talking around, just say it.

She told me that, when you were pregnant

that you lied about getting an ultrasound.

That the sonogram you showed me was a fake.

Cedric. Lamont. I, uh, hope you stay and eat with us.

I wouldn't spend another minute with you.

Shanice, you shouldn't, either.

Come on, Ced, let's bounce.

Okay, your little scrawny butts better not be bouncing

anywhere but at this table, or I'm gonna be

the one breaking some bones. Now, sit down.

Now, what you heard was Leslie's extremely slanted

and clinically insane, might I add...

Version of her history with Ted.

Now, you are going to listen to this.

Yeah, I never meant to hide anything.

- My plans got hijacked. - Yeah, by your crazy-ass baby mama.

And our sister shouldn't be dealing with somebody

with that kind of baggage.

Okay, if you keep an open mind,

you will see that Ted is one of the good guys.

There's being open-minded and there's being stupid.

And I know everything I need to know.

But if a man wants to waste his breath,

I won't stop him.

I've done what I can.

The rest is on you.

As much as I'd love for this idiot to suffer

some righteous consequences

for filing this unjustified lawsuit,

I can't help thinking of something my mother used to say.

"When you seek revenge, dig two graves."

I want out... out of this whole terrible situation.

I just want to go back to my normal life

and planning my wedding to my beautiful fianc�e.

I will do my best to make that happen.

I should get back to Dad's office.

The judge wanted the hearing to be virtual.

- Good luck. - Thanks.

Well, this is incredible.

After everything we've been through,

we could really use a win.

We haven't won yet.

I see I'm gonna be confident enough for the both of us.

I insist we do a little celebrating.

Now that you're here, I'm gonna turn this

on Do Not Disturb so I can focus all my attention on you.

It almost sounds like you don't want me

to know who was texting you.

Bill.

I know that's not what you want to hear.

Yeah, you're damn right.

I'm not happy about it, no, but

it's no biggie. Yeah? He's the father of your children.

You two are always gonna need to communicate.

I had no intention of communicating with him

while we were on our trip. It just...

When I saw the text, I felt obliged to answer.

Based on how you were laughing when I came back,

you were feeling a little more

than a sense of obligation, Dani.

The man can be funny,

at times.

I'll take your word for it.

Yeah, over time, I'm sure you two have probably

had a lot of inside jokes, right?

Like the one about the burnt marshmallow

when you served it at the, at the country club.

- Exactly. Blackened. - Yeah.

And a scorched memory.

But one that can sometimes make me laugh.

I'm not hearing a denial.

Well, did she tell you that the only reason

she even knew I didn't have an ultrasound

was because of her bestie Florence Tattletale

violated the hell out of HIPAA

by sharing my private medical records?

I'm more concerned about you lying to me, Hayley.

Why would you do that?

I just... didn't want to know if something

was wrong with the baby.

But in hindsight, I...

I realized that.

I was just in denial because I knew in my gut

that something was wrong.

I-I just couldn't bear to face it.

And I didn't want to worry you because I knew

how much our baby meant to you, too.

So, I-I just showed you a sonogram print

that I found online.

Then, when I had the miscarriage,

my instincts were proven horribly correct.

Yeah, that's pretty much the same thing Naomi told me.

- Because it's the truth. - Yeah, but coming on the heels

of you lying to me about going to the dentist

when you were actually with Sammy, who Naomi says

is actually named Randy.

I guess he goes by both.

The lying is a pattern, Hayley.

I swear to you,

in both cases, I was only trying to protect you.

You do believe me, don't you?

Baby, whatever happens at the hearing

is completely out of your control.

Yeah, that only makes it worse.

If there was something I could do,

I wouldn't be nearly as anxious.

Believe me, I get it. Come on.

Tomas. Hey. Um, any word on what's going on at the hearing?

I have no idea.

Nobody's farther out of the loop than me.

You know... Oh, thanks, babe.

Sometimes, I don't know what Kat sees in him.

That pretty face only gets you so far.

Bartender, a Scotch, please, and make it a double.

Coming up.

EVA: That bad, huh?

Hey, Kat.

I'm sorry to hear about your bad news.

What? It's already all around town? It just happened.

Uh, Chelsea told me about it.

About ChelseaKat having to bail on that Tokyo designer.

[sighs]

I guess that's the least of my problems today.

Not that I intend to

unload on you.

- Unload away. - Okay.

Tomas accused me of-of being unsupportive. Me.

Just because I don't see my cousin Naomi

as a threat to his job at the law firm.

Oh, being stuck in the middle of a dispute between family

and a romantic partner is always rough.

And then he was off-the-chain pissed

because I tried to give him a present.

What was it?

You remember the bag we're launching

at the end of the month?

Yeah, that you're pre-selling.

See? You already know.

While my boyfriend was unimpressed

when I suggest that he-he give

this

to his abuelita.

Looks great to me.

I know, right? But Tomas...

You know what? Enough about Tomas.

But since Tomas didn't want to take the bag, why don't you?

Have you changed your mind

about me giving Eva a ChelseaKat purse?

I don't know what to believe right now.

I mean, every answer you give me,

it just leaves me with more questions.

Out of the goodness of my heart, I'm gonna give you

one last chance to settle this case

before you and Naomi wind up making fools of yourself

before the judge.

Not a chance, Mike.

Our client has better things to do with her money

than settle your bogus lawsuit.

Hello, sweetheart.

NAOMI: Caroline said Judge Meyers has logged in

to the video conference, so we can get started.

BILL: All right.

I presume Hayley's here to take notes?

Yeah, and to hand you any documents as needed,

- just like any other paralegal. - Yes, of course.

Okay.

Good afternoon, Judge.

Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne, Bill Hamilton for the defense.

Plaintiff's counsel, Mike Davis, is also present.

Your Honor, good to see you.

Let's proceed. This hearing is called to order.

I see that this is a motion

to, uh, compel production

of plaintiff's entire digital history.

Entire?

That's a pretty strong word, Ms. Hamilton Hawthorne.

We have asked plaintiff's counsel

to provide her entire digital record

one month leading up to her child's illness.

That is not an overly expansive period of time.

But it would be a violation of my client's right to privacy.

If the evidence shows that the plaintiff reviewed

other websites that recommended similar courses of treatment,

that would undercut her claim that she relied solely

on the blog in question.

If my client had read other sources,

she would've sued them as well.

What motivation would there be to single out that one blog?

Oh, I think your motivation is pretty obvious, Counselor.

Since I've learned that Eva was my daughter,

I've been doing everything I can

to build a relationship with her.

I've learned from my mistakes,

so you don't have to worry about me cheating on Shanice.

I made a vow to myself that I would never betray

the trust of a woman again.

Well?

Just words. I'm not impressed.

You could do so much better than this, sis.

Okay, look, if you two are both determined

to be haters, I can't stop that.

Listen, Shanice, I need you to use the sense that God gave you.

Get up and leave this table and this piece of trash

that's only here wasting your time.

Trash?

Yeah, you know what? I think it's best

that both of you leave this table.

You know, he's right, because if you are asking me

to choose between you two and him?

You two are acting like some damn fools.

And Ted is my man.

My loyalty is to him.

Blood is thicker than water.

And you need both to live.

Now, I am tired of this nonsense.

Ted has been kind enough to deal with your crap now twice,

but enough is enough.

Now, you both need to back the hell up off me

and just be happy for me.

I guess Lotte Tower is the plan,

since it's full of options.

I'm gonna get changed, and then, we can, we can head out.

You-you know, on second thought...

I don't think I want to deal with those crowds.

And you've been working non-stop since we've been here,

so you haven't really had time to

spend in our room.

It's a hotel room, Dani.

Well, that just proves that you haven't explored

many of the delights it has to offer.

For example, there's a Jacuzzi

and several high-end Korean skin care products.

- Is something wrong with my skin? - Not a thing.

And I want to keep it that way.

So, would you be open

to the Dani Dupree spa experience?

- Involves me... - Mm-hmm.

You...

a tub with a whole lot of jets...

and some creativity.

I know exactly what you're trying to do, Dani.

And?

And I'm good for it.

Yeah, my muscles are kind of tense after being on my feet

all day with that photo shoot.

Maybe the Jacuzzi could, uh, help me relax.

Don't you worry.

I know the perfect way to relieve that tension.

I really appreciate everything you're doing

to try to comfort me,

especially since I know you're still dealing

with your own anxiety about Allison.

You know, the rational part of me knows

that she's safely locked up

and more closely supervised than ever,

so there's nothing to worry about.

But the less logical part of you?

Is terrified that I haven't seen the last of her crazy ass.

I wish that there was something

I could do to make your fears go away.

Well, there is. It's something only you can do.

Both plaintiff and her counsel

had ample reasons to target Dr. Montgomery.

Why is that?

It's public knowledge that Dr. Madison Montgomery

is engaged to Chelsea Hamilton, a well-known former model

and member of the wealthy Dupree family.

It appears to be an effort to target

the party with the deepest pockets.

Your Honor, the opposite is the case.

My client was terrified to sue someone involved

with such an influential family,

but the wrong she suffered

is greater than the defendant's efforts at intimidation.

- Intimidation? - Uh, Mr. Hamilton.

Apologies, Your Honor.

I was understandably taken aback by this mischaracterization.

We believe in evidence, Your Honor,

not shoddy litigation tactics.

And we believe the evidence will prove the plaintiff's case

is baseless and that is why counsel

is stonewalling our discovery demands.

We've offered to settle, Your Honor, to save the parties

the expense and avoid wasting the court's valuable time.

The only thing you were trying to avoid

was us seeing your client's digital records.

And your "right to privacy" argument

doesn't even pass the smell test.

When your client filed a lawsuit,

she deliberately opened herself up to the discovery process.

Reasonable discovery, sure, but what you're demanding...

I've heard enough.

Defense's position is a reasonable one.

Motion to compel granted.

And Mr. Davis, you have 24 hours

in which to turn over all devices and digital data

to opposing counsel.

Thank you, Your Honor.

A written order will be in the docket shortly. Good day.

- BILL: Good day, Your Honor. - MIKE: Good day.

Nice work.

Getting a favorable ruling from your golf buddy.

Oh, come on. Stop making excuses for your own bad lawyering.

You knew that wasn't a good argument.

Hayley, will you send me a copy of your notes?

I want to make sure that the written order

- tracks the judge's ruling. - Okay.

Yeah, and Hayley, we need to continue our...

Of course, but perhaps I should walk Mike out.

Good idea. That'll keep him from sexually harassing anyone else.

Congratulations, Naomi.

Oh, no, that victory was just as much mine as it is yours.

- Feels good, don't it? - The best.

Yeah.

You know, I cannot wait until I get my hands

on that digital discovery.

Based on Mike's reaction,

it probably contains the smoking gun

we're looking for.

Winning that hearing,

against that slimeball Mike, of all people, it was...

One of your proudest moments as a lawyer?

- I wouldn't say all that. - Yeah, but you think it, though, right?

Yeah?

- Okay, yeah, yeah. - Oh, yeah, yeah. I know.

So, uh...

Does it feel good enough to make you reconsider

coming to work at my firm?

- Dad... - Naomi, I'm just saying, this is just a typical day

at the Law Offices of Bill Hamilton, Esquire.

Sorry, I'm still committed to my practice.

Just being with you makes me feel calmer.

Even when I'm so stressed myself?

It gives me something... someone... else

to worry about other than myself.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I can be

a little self-centered at times.

No. Not with the way that you take up

two bathroom mirrors in the morning.

- I just want to be close to you. - Oh, is that what that is?

Before you, I was all about partying and casual sex.

Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but it just felt

empty.

And then, I met the woman of my dreams,

and everything changed.

Before I met you, I wasn't sure I'd ever be a part of a couple,

much less getting married.

You changed my life, too,

in the most wonderful way.

Well, you don't ever have to spend another day alone.

Unless you want to, of course.

I can be a little extra.

Are you gonna keep telling me

all of your flaws until we get married?

Just making sure you know what you're getting yourself into.

All right, well, let me have it. I can take it.

Just so long as you can take me.

My position on Eva and our bags hasn't changed,

but then, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be caught dead

carrying a ChelseaKat purse.

But you thought I would?

You and Tomas came to the same conclusion.

It's scary.

No, um...

I remember you saying how much your mom

loved the ChelseaKat purse you gave her, so I thought

maybe she'd like the newest edition.

You saying my mama needs a glow-up?

Why is everyone taking what I say

the wrong way today?

Chill.

I'm just playing with you. And thank you.

Look, I'm sorry Tomas got upset with you,

but I know my mom's gonna love that bag.

I'm glad.

And to swing back to Tomas, uh,

from what you told me before,

sounds to me like his blow-up was due to him

being upset about work more than being mad at you.

I guess.

He might've been hoping you'd say something that would

convince him that he didn't need to worry about Naomi.

Well, why didn't he just say that?

Unfortunately, many of my gender

are less than great communicators.

Well, you don't seem to have that problem.

Eh...

Oh, my God.

So, not being a part of Madison's legal team is just

another sign that Bill's pushing me aside for Naomi.

- That sucks. - Yeah. And you get it.

When I told Kat that, she dismissed it.

Just changed the subject to talk about ChelseaKat.

Well, far be it for me to defend Kat...

You're actually gonna do that?

In the interest of being fair instead of snarky,

I've got to say, you did kind of put her in a difficult position.

How so?

Well, from the way Kat reacted before,

I mean, it's obvious she doesn't want to bad-mouth her cousin.

Okay, but it-it shouldn't be difficult

to support your partner.

There's support, and then there's

being able to empathize with what you're going through.

But Kat hasn't had to fight for her place anyplace.

Mm.

You get it.

You get me.

Look, I'm really sorry that you're going through

such a hard time at the firm and with Kat,

but it sounds like, once this case wraps up,

Naomi will be going back to her own practice.

And then, you'll be able to remind Bill

of how incredible you are.

And then, you'll be right back where you belong,

as his right hand.

[phone chimes]

Shoot. The person I was supposed to meet with just cancelled.

Look, I got to get back to the practice.

Eva...

Thanks.

Anytime.

Not just for listening, but,

for understanding.

That was really something.

The way you defended me to your brothers.

Yeah, well, they were acting like two little knuckleheads.

Still, that's your family.

Could make things a little awkward over the holidays.

Well, if they have a problem with you,

they can skip the family celebrations,

and everybody else will love you the way I do.

Guess I should've taken your warnings about

your brothers a little more seriously, huh?

Ah, yeah. When are you gonna learn

that I'm right about everything?

Guess I'm a slow learner.

At least you're cute.

I like this side of you.

Oh, please. You like every side of me.

- Mm. - But what side are you talking about right now?

The extra feisty side.

It is hot.

Well, are you relaxed?

Woman, I'm so relaxed that I could barely walk,

and I swear my skin has never been clearer.

Good, 'cause I did a lot of work to get you there.

I suppose it's now my turn to provide

the Andre Richardson spa experience.

It most certainly is.

You want to head back in there?

Work up a new head of steam?

We don't need a Jacuzzi to get us wet and steamy.

Okay, you were right,

this room did have a-a whole vibe and experience of its own.

Tomorrow, we head back home.

Back to all the family drama we've managed to avoid,

but today...

Is all about us.

I was gonna say it's all about pleasure.

Same thing.

- [both laughing] - [indistinct chatter]

- Hey, sexy. - Hi.

- How'd Project Leftovers go? - Ugh.

Mission not accomplished. My meeting was cancelled.

Yeah, I didn't make it to the gym, either.

I actually ran into Kat.

She and Tomas had just had a big fight, and she needed to vent.

No, I heard all about it from Tomas.

Apparently, Kat was less than sympathetic

about his career problems.

The way I heard it, he blew up at her

when she just tried to make him feel better.

Those two are the total opposite of relationship goals,

but their mess makes me grateful that we could talk about

our problems without anyone flipping out.

Mm. Agreed.

What we have seems a hell of a lot healthier

than whatever Kat and Tomas got going on.

? ?

TOMAS: Is Madison's hearing over already?

Not just over.

The shining star won the day and earned a kiss from Daddy.

You don't sound too happy about that.

I thought you were determined to be

the perfect stepmother to your former BFF.

Yeah, that was before she declared war on my marriage.

Now, I'm fighting fire with an inferno.

If that's your choice.

I recommend that be yours, too, when it comes to Naomi.

What do you mean?

Don't let your guard down.

Is there something specific I should be worried about?

Anything and everything.

You know, Naomi just keeps digging her claws

deeper into her father and into the firm.

It's only a matter of time before she's in charge.

Naomi insisted she's not interested in working

at the firm once Madison's case has been resolved.

And you believe that?

I just hope you don't let Bill see how gullible you are.

- But her reputation... - Ultimate do-gooder.

Oh, I know, but, Tomas, when you get down to it,

Naomi is just like her mother, as manipulative as they come.

Oh, and she'll act like she doesn't want it,

knowing Bill loves a challenge.

But it's obvious she loves that corner office.

Look, I'm just saying, if you don't watch your back,

Naomi could steal everything you worked so hard for.

Did you, um, talk to Hayley about the sonogram?

I did.

And...?

We are in the process of handling the situation.

Should you be drinking?

Studies show that a drink or two a day is good for the heart.

I read that about red wine, not single malt.

Well, my doctors approve, okay?

All right, even if they don't,

this victory deserves to be celebrated.

- I do feel pretty damn triumphant. - Yeah.

To... teamwork.

No.

To the Hamilton Hawthorne dream team.

I'll drink to that.

Can you honestly say you aren't into Izaiah at all?

- We are just friends. - What are you doing?

Having Google Translate say it in Spanish,

since, clearly, you don't understand me.

It is pathetic how you keep trying

to ruin things for Shanice and me.

- Bring it on down, Doc. - Hell no.

Oh, all right. Settle down, boys.
