Family Law (2021) s01e10 Episode Script

Previously, on Family Law
- Have you been drinking?
- What a horrible thing to suggest.
Then explain the texts
you sent to Felicity
I've never texted your one-night stand.
"Stay away from my
husband, you 'count'."
You're washing your hands of
him like you were never his mom
just so you can get laid?
The agreement stands. 50/50!
Love you, Mom.
Our moms are
here with us in spirit,
and we still have our awesome dads.
You see what I got
Nina for her birthday?
A DNA kit.
Here's hoping we find
some long-lost relatives.
Did you stick
to Danielle's script?
Word for word.
It was a great interview!
Except for the part where
you're dating Crystal Steele.
Thank for making this
decision easy for me, Dad.
I quit.
Do you have dinner plans?
Last night's takeout.
Asha, this is
- my wife.
- Hi.
Let's do it, let's have a baby.
I love you.
Crystal Steele? That is
Baffling? Disturbing?
Icky?
All the above?
If you think about it,
she's exactly Harry's type.
Strong, smart, opinionated
Even if you don't you agree
with all those opinions.
Age appropriate.
Yeah, it's true. You know,
he's never been the kind of guy
to date Barbies half his age.
He's always had strong taste in women.
He just likes to taste
too many of them at once.
- The tenants move out soon.
- Three weeks today.
Not that I'm counting.
- It'll be nice having you back home.
- Ish. Home-ish.
Hard to believe that
little vial holds the DNA
of a 6'2" Olympic rower and Howard grad.
Or the DNA of a pathological liar
who likes to masturbate into cups.
Sorry. Nerves.
You ready, Maggie?
As ready I'll ever be.
Okay.
Would you like to do the honors?
Ahem.
All right, little Svensson-Roth
You mean Roth-Svensson.
- That's it?
- That's it.
In and out faster than Carl Yankowitz.
My first and last boyfriend.
You'll need to
file a transfer memo,
and we'll need signed joint
letters with your clients.
Yup, on it.
Make sure you're up to
date with all your billing.
I'm always up to date.
Are you sure about this?
Yannick's firm doesn't have
half the reputation ours does.
But they recognize my worth.
I look forward to helping
them build their reputation.
You'll be a small cog in a big wheel.
A wheel with no family
a wheel with a designated bike room.
Morning, Mr. Svensson. Good weekend?
Yes, thank you, Nina.
Me too.
My dad and I took a pastry-making class
and then, on Saturday, we had
an Alias marathon at his place.
Morning, all.
Nina, I need this
FedEx'ed overnight, please.
Okey-dokey.
Lucinda, good morning.
Hi, Harry.
Special delivery for Nina Beasley!
DNA Donuts!
Here you go. Help yourselves.
Apologies, Ms. Bianchi,
I know this is when Nina's
supposed to start her workday.
Yeah, we got our DNA
results this morning
and we wanted to open them together.
Well, good. Knock yourselves out.
- You first.
- Okey-dokey.
My family did DNA kits last year.
Turns out my grandparents
are first cousins.
Weird.
It says that I have a "sibling match".
A half-brother.
- But I'm an only child, right?
- Right-a-rooni, Nina Beana.
A younger brother.
Mom had to have a
hysterectomy after I was born.
Are you suggesting ?
What kind of self-respecting man
Many, Bryan, many self-respecting men,
including my father,
and other men I know very well.
Well, Paula was my
high-school sweetheart,
the love of my life.
My one and only.
- Seriously?
- Why don't we just
check Bryan's results
and cross-check 'em?
Ahh. That's usin' the ol' noggin, Cecil.
See? That kid doesn't show up on mine.
Bryan
Nina doesn't show up here, either.
That would mean you and
your dad don't share any DNA,
which would mean he's
not even really your
Ow!
Well, the lab must have
mixed up our samples.
What a cock-up!
I'm gonna
I'm gonna write a
strongly-worded letter.
Uh, Bryan
I just want to know
how you and your wife
Paula, God rest her beautiful soul.
- How you and Paula
- Got pregnant with me?
Um, they tried for two whole years.
You ever see that movie
"Cheaper by the Dozen"?
Paula and I, we wanted
a family like that.
But Mom had uterine fibroids.
So we decided to try in vitro
Paula's egg and my sperm
It took a few tries, but
- third time lucky.
- Mom always used to say,
"We weren't able to have more
children, but it didn't matter,
because we could never outdo you."
Ohh! And she was right.
You were
you are just perfection itself.
Ohh, Dad.
Uh, how about we get your DNA retested?
I have a contact at a lab here in town.
I could get it fast-tracked.
Good idea, Ms. Bianchi.
Yeah, we'll get this mess
cleared up lickety-split.
Hey, just out of curiosity,
uh, what fertility clinic did you use?
"Lasting Legacies."
Rated number one on Yelp.
Nice!
You won't talk to Harry, but
you'll still mooch his food.
Gotta save money where I can
since Maggie could
soon be eating for two.
Are you
Yep. She was
- this morning.
- Ew. But also congratulations!
Thanks.
- So, you told her?
- Mm-hmm.
- And she was fine?
- Mm-hmm.
Well, then.
That's great.
Are you leaving because of me?
Or because of Harry?
While working with you
has truly been a career lowlight
- it's mostly Harry.
- Figured.
- I'll miss you.
- Really?
No.
But at least you're the dickhead I know.
Now I have to be junior
to some rando dickhead.
What, you didn't think
Harry would replace you?
Ahh.
The doctor will be with
you in just a moment.
Mm! Forgive me. It's
been a busy morning.
I haven't had a chance
to finish my breakfast.
You must be Abigail.
How can I help you?
Ah, well, where to begin, Dr. Peterson.
Oh, please, call me Dr. Doug.
And don't you worry
You still have a few good years left.
We have successfully
impregnated many wom
No. No, no. That's not why I'm here.
I'm a lawyer.
I'm here on behalf of
my client, Bryan Beasley.
Beasley
He and his wife, Paula,
were patients of yours
a couple decades back.
- I see so many couples.
- They had a daughter, Nina.
Paula's since passed away.
- Aw, I'm sorry to hear that.
- Mm-hmm.
Father and daughter recently
did one of those Ancestry kits.
Oh, yeah, all the rage these days.
Their DNA doesn't match.
I I don't understand.
Neither do they.
They're both clinging to the hope
that the lab made a mistake,
but you and I both
know that's a fantasy.
Ahem.
Um
what did you say the name was again?
- "Beasley."
- Beasley
Yeah. Bryan and Paula.
Oh, yeah. Okay. Here's the file.
Yeah, everything appears to be in order.
Mr. Beasley's sperm was used
on three separate occasions.
But it's not in order, is it?
Because Bryan's not
Nina's biological father.
'98
You know, I had a lab
technician back then,
had to let her go.
Narcotics addiction.
I suppose it's possible
that some sort of mix-up
happened back then.
Oh, goodness, I feel terrible.
If there's anything I can do to help
Well, for starters, I'd
like Nina's DNA tested
against every donor at the clinic.
I would love to help you
with that, I really would,
but we destroy all the
samples after 20 years.
Dr. Doug?
- Your 11:00 is here.
- And yet my chai latte isn't.
Uh, my apologies.
We're gonna have to pick
this up at another time.
Oh, you know what? I
forgot my lucky pen.
Gwyn, hi.
It's Abigail Bianchi.
Uh, if I got you another sample,
could you fast-track that one, too?
Oh, you're a peach.
Lunches, check
- Thank you.
- French horn, check.
Hey, did you see that text
from our tenants last night?
- They're moving out on Friday.
- Yeah, I saw.
Yeah, well, we don't have to wait.
I could move in this weekend.
Let's stick to the original plan, okay?
There's a lot going on
these next couple weeks.
Plus, we've given the kids a timeline.
Let's not rock the boat.
- Hi, Mom!
- Hey, babe.
One thing I bet you didn't know
is that tornadoes
can be as fast as Formula One race cars.
Cool.
Yeah, I know, right?
- Can I ask you something personal?
- Uh, no.
When did you know you were pregnant?
With Sofia, I had no idea
until I started puking up my breakfast,
but, with Nico, I knew right away.
- A gut thing?
- A boob thing. They ballooned!
Frank thought he'd
died and gone to heaven.
It's been, what, days, right?
And there's only a 20%
chance on the first try.
Well, try to relax. It's all you can do.
Morning, Gazoo.
- I can't believe you're leaving.
- We'll still hang out.
And you and Maggie
will still have me over
for Sunday dinners, right?
Sunday dinners?
I'd love to leave, too,
but rents are astronomical.
Well, no more in our building
than anywhere else, I'm sure.
Oh, the rent in our building's
a sweet deal for Lucy.
- Daniel
- Dad leases the whole floor.
Lucy doesn't pay a dime.
What about your phone line?
- Utilities?
- Back off, okay.
Wifi, shared reception ?
No, no, no, and no.
Your messages
yours, and yours, and
- yours.
- Thanks.
He's interviewing Marco DiGenova?
Guy's a preening douche bag.
Great. It'll be like you never left.
Gwyn, hi.
Can't tell you how
much I appreciate this.
Thanks.
Bye.
Nina?
Do you think you could get your, um
Bryan to come in?
Are you sure?
I'm sorry, Bryan.
The lab results confirm it.
Dr. Doug Peterson is
Nina's biological father.
My bank gave me a promotion.
I'm relocating to Winnipeg.
Winnipeg?
More like a demotion.
Says the man who works from home
in his Gryffindor pajamas.
Hufflepuff!
And Harriet understands
that I have a creative soul.
Harriet's my new girlfriend.
I'm moving into her place.
Yeah, I give it three
months until she realizes
that you are a talentless leech.
- Why are you here?
- Harriet is allergic to dogs.
And my new condo in Winnipeg
has a strict "no pets" policy.
So, you're telling me,
after a full year of fighting for him,
neither of you wants Craig?
We want to find him the
perfect forever home.
Which is my sister's place.
Oh! No way. She's agoraphobic!
Craig needs his walkies.
My buddy Devon
Is stoned 24/7!
I wouldn't trust him with a dust bunny.
Enough!
You're wasting
my time and yours.
Come back when you have
a viable plan for Craig.
I'm not paying for any more sessions.
Ohh
Okay, "Hufflepuff"? Let's
see how you do without me!
- Hey, Harry.
- Bryan!
You can't just
Where's Nina? She's supposed to
I'm not Nina's biological father.
Wish I had never given
her that DNA kit, huh?
I just thought it'd be fun
if we found some new cousins, or
I'm very sorry to hear this, Bryan,
but I have a meeting.
I just wanted to talk
father-to-father, you know?
I mean, you know better than anyone
that intense bond that
dads have with their kids.
Well, I don't know if
I'm really the one
I could sure use a hug.
Who mixes up sperm?
Also, what were his samples
doing there in the first place?
I want to sue Dr. Doug
for medical malpractice.
Good luck with that.
The fertility industry's
like the Wild West.
- Really?
- In cases like this,
doctors have wound up
with a short suspension
Or less, just a slap on the wrist.
What are you, a sperm specialist?
Had a case last year.
Couple had one kid via in
vitro before they split up.
Dad still had sperm
stored at the clinic,
mom wanted another kid, dad
didn't want his sperm used.
- And you repped ?
- Mom.
Judge ruled for my client,
since the sperm was banked
while they were still together.
Ah, the law was on your side.
Mm! The laws are still being created.
It's called "good lawyering".
I need you to get that man
out of my office, right now.
Who, Bryan? I told him to go grab lunch.
Well, he didn't. He's
crying on my couch!
I just spent five minutes
smothered in a bear hug.
Poor Bryan.
I'd have sworn they were related.
- They are so much alike.
- One point for nurture.
Yes, but nature always takes
precedence over nurture.
Please. If that were true,
I'd be a lot like you.
You're more like Harry than
Lucy and me put together.
That is completely untrue
and also a very cruel thing to say.
I prefer the company
of the crying man-baby.
See?
- I see you've lawyered up.
- Of course I have.
I have a reputation
Stellar, I might add
to uphold, and you are
casting aspersions upon it.
Yeah, well, you did give the wrong sperm
to one of your patients,
and not just any old sperm
- Your sperm.
- I keep a few of my samples on file,
- but only to calibrate the equipment.
- Calibrate the
I checked your employment records.
You mentioned a staffer
with addiction issues?
Well, no one was fired
around the time Nina was "conceived".
You do realize
there's a very simple
explanation for all of this?
Which is?
Uh, Mr. Beasley, perhaps
you'd like to wait outside.
No, I wouldn't like to wait outside.
I'd like to hear it, thank you.
Woman comes to clinic.
Handsome doctor offers her a chance
to finally fulfill her dream.
Woman develops feelings for said doctor.
Feelings?
What are you implying?
It happened the old-fashioned way.
I'm I'm deeply sorry, Mr. Beasley.
The only crime that happened here
was one of passion.
I need you to go home
and dig up any correspondence
of Paula's from that time, okay?
Letters, diaries
If it's true, and I emphasize "if",
it's still a breach of
his Hippocratic oath.
- No.
- No?
No. None of it matters.
Bryan! Of course it matters.
No. It doesn't.
'Cause I'll never know for sure, will I?
If Paula was here, I could just ask her.
I could I could look her in the eye,
and I would know, one way
or the other, but she isn't.
Now I know that my beloved
daughter isn't my daughter,
and that the woman I loved
more than life itself is
Bryan please.
We don't know anything for certain yet.
My whole life is a lie!
Good afternoon. Svensson and Associates.
Please hold.
One moment, please.
Where's Nina?
She barfed again so Jerri sent her home.
I just feel so bad for her.
If I found out my dad wasn't my dad
Something tells me you have
nothing to worry about, Cecil.
Oh. Lucy.
What sperm bank did you and Maggie use?
- Uh, I
- Please tell me
you guys didn't go to
"Lasting Legacies Fertility Clinic."
I have a patient in five.
Good afternoon. Svensson and Associates.
Please hold.
Care to fill me in?
Nope. No. No, I do not.
What kind of people
hire Phil Sterling and
pay his exorbitant fees?
People who have something to hide.
Yeah, exactly.
You were that kid, weren't you?
The one who framed everything?
What's that?
Third place in your
junior-high spelling bee?
If you must know,
it's my Charlie J. Wilder
Award from the Law Society.
They gave you one of those?
I only frame the meaningful ones.
And I just happen to have
a lot of meaningful ones.
Of course you do.
What?
Hi, April.
Dr. Doug is gone for the day.
Oh, that's okay.
Just forgot my lucky
pen in his office again.
Oh. He told me I'm not
supposed to let you in. Sorry
- How long have you worked here?
- Three years.
Mm. Does Dr. Doug value you?
- And your work?
- I don't know how to answer that.
Because it doesn't really seem like it.
- You are clearly highly capable.
- I am?
Trust me when I say
your boss is about
to find himself in
a predicament.
You need to start looking for a new job.
And I am happy to offer
you a glowing reference.
Lucy-Goosey.
I can't stand you being mad at me.
Is it true, you and Maggie
are trying to start a family?
It's true.
That's wonderful news.
Which one of you is the vessel?
- The what?
- You know, the carrier.
If you must know, it's Maggie.
Ah.
Well, these things
normally take a few tries.
Thanks. I'm aware.
I would happily
contribute, if you'd like.
Ew!
You can't be the kid's
father and grandfather.
But, that way, the child would
at least be partially yours.
The child will be mine, Dad.
No matter who carries it.
Well, sure, but But
biologically speaking
I have work to do. Please go.
So
how are things with your kids?
Well, let's see.
The youngest one won't speak to me,
the middle one is leaving the firm,
and the oldest one is
enjoying all of this immensely
because she's carrying around
33 years of resentment towards me.
The fact that you're dating
me doesn't help, does it?
- There is truth to that, yes.
- You can't blame them.
They don't get to see all of me.
I mean, even I sometimes
get sick of "Crystal Steele".
So why keep at it?
I grew up in a home
where powdered milk and margarine
were considered luxuries.
People say money can't buy happiness,
I say bullshit.
- I'll drink to that.
- Yes! Please.
I love being with you, Harry.
I love that I don't have
to dumb things down for you.
And, um
you're the first person
who's made me feel desirable in a while.
But
your kids are your kids, so
if you want out, I'll understand.
- Hey, Harry.
- Jesus. Bryan!
You've got to stop doing this.
Did you just use my en suite?
Dr. Douglas Peterson.
The name mean anything to you?
We sit on a board together, why?
He's the fertility doctor
my wife Paula and I used.
And he's Nina's biological father.
His story is,
they had an affair.
He has loads of birth announcements
pinned up in the reception area.
But in his office
he has a smaller selection
Framed.
I can't prove it yet,
but I believe
he's been deliberately
using his own sperm
to impregnate scores of women
without their knowledge or consent.
Including my Paula.
He's hired Phil Sterling.
We may have the beginning
of a class-action lawsuit on our hands.
Bryan
would you mind, um,
waiting for us outside for a moment?
Sure. Sure thing.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
- This could be
- Very lucrative.
- Yes. We'd get 30% of the damages.
- We?
I'd get a percentage of the spoils,
on top of a big bump in my salary,
which is currently on
par with a burger flipper.
And I get to be lead.
You can't be lead,
you're still on probation.
- I'll be your senior counsel.
- No. I want a co-counsel.
Daniel.
He's leaving, remember? His choice.
- His choice? You pushed him out.
- I did nothing of the kind!
- Don't make me go to Plan "B".
- Which is?
Send this case to my
old firm on the condition
that they bring me in to work on it
the moment my probation is over.
Why Daniel?
He's good.
I mean, not as good as me, but
he's solid, and he's inadvertently
become an expert in fertility law.
And in case you haven't noticed?
The only one of your children
that can stand to be in the same
room with you right now, is me.
Me!
You really want to push
all your children out of your life?
Thanks for coming in, Bryan.
Oh, no. Thank you.
At least I know I
wasn't wrong about Paula.
Nina.
I was hoping I'd see you.
I I
I made you a tuna sammie.
Thanks, Da
Thanks.
But I brought a lunch from home today.
Hey!
Try cutting your dad some slack.
- He's not my dad though, is he?
- Do you really mean that?
When my mom died,
the only thing that got me through
was knowing that I still had him.
And now?
We're
nothing to each other.
Nina.
I understand your world's
just been turned upside-down,
but what you just said makes me wanna
give you a good spanking!
You know what I think
when I see you and Bryan?
I think you are so freaking lucky.
You have the best
father/daughter relationship
I've ever seen,
DNA or no.
I share 50% of my DNA
with my father and
trust me
What you and Bryan
have is so much better.
Have you made a decision?
We have.
Where would you like Craig to go?
- The SPCA.
- Did you just say the SPCA?
Shh, shh, shh, shh!
We, um we couldn't agree
on who should take him.
We feel this is the best
decision for everyone.
For everyone but Craig.
He's old, he's asthmatic,
there's a very good
chance he'll be euthanized.
He's had a very good life.
You told me Craig was like your son,
but you never loved him the
way a parent should love a son.
You never just loved him for who he is.
And now you just want to let him go?
Hmm?
Uh, Harry would like to
see you in his office.
Not at all thrilled
to be your co-counsel,
but
I guess it's a small price
to pay for partnership.
About bloody time!
Ohh!
Thanks, Jerri.
Wow. I guess Harry's
getting soft in his old age.
My office in five.
Or it's the first sign of dementia!
All right, what did you do?
What makes you think I did anything?
In order to get a class action
certified, we need a plaintiff.
Then we can propose it to the courts,
based off the evidence
of that plaintiff.
Once it gets certified,
then we can add more.
It's called "common issues".
Do you remember the VW diesel scandal?
They were cheating
consumers in the same way,
whether it was your
car or someone else's.
But this isn't diesel. This is sperm.
We need a plaintiff to take the stand.
You want me to be the plaintiff?
- We do.
- Uh, no, thank you.
I don't even know if
I want to sue the guy.
Nina. You're our best bet,
for getting this guy's
clinic shut down for good.
Do you really want Dr.
Doug to keep doing this
to other people?
I was thinking.
When we do have a baby,
maybe I should be the
stay-at-home parent.
But I'd be the one breast-feeding.
Well, we can get one of
those breast pump things.
So I can feel like a cow with udders?
Forget it about it.
Fine. I just
Never mind.
Lucy, what's up?
You and the baby
you're gonna have a
biological connection and
I just want the baby to have
a chance to bond with me, too.
Babe.
I was a mess before I met you.
You have made me a better person.
This will be our baby.
It doesn't matter who carries it.
Okay.
Mr. Svensson, Ms. Bianchi,
what is this class action
you hope to have certified?
Your Honor,
we have DNA proof that our client,
Nina Beasley, is in fact
Dr. Douglas Peterson's
biological child, and she's
here to testify to that fact.
Her surviving parent, Bryan Beasley,
is also a plaintiff in this case and
Your Honor, this is fantasy.
A world of make-believe,
conjured by a man who feels bitter
that his deceased wife had
an affair with my client.
The affair is the fantasy!
Your Honor,
Dr. Peterson artificially inseminated
not only Paula Beasley,
but many more women,
with his own sperm,
without their knowledge or consent.
Do you have more sworn affidavits
to prove this theory?
- Not on me.
- He has no more affidavits
because there are no others.
Just one DNA match from
a misguided dalliance.
They've had weeks to
find more plaintiffs.
Motion to dismiss.
He's got a point, Mr. Svensson.
Forgive me if I wasn't
clear, Your Honor.
I don't have the affidavits on me,
because the plaintiffs wanted
to deliver them themselves.
Mr. Svensson, are we
done with the theatrics?
Sorry, your Honor.
Not quite.
Finding this out,
it's affected every
single moment of every day.
Nothing is the same.
And I wake up in the
middle of the night,
with all these thoughts, like,
what if I start dating someone
and it turns out that we're related?
And then my thoughts get really dark.
Take your time, Nina.
I think about my mom
and how he violated her.
And knowing that part of who I am
comes from this horrible man
and not from this
really awesome man
I don't even know if I can
call this awesome man "Dad" anymore.
I don't even know
if this really awesome man
will be able to love me anymore.
- Sir, you cannot approach the bench!
- Nina Beasley.
You were,
you are,
and always will be, my daughter.
I just love you to the moon and back.
I love you, too, Dad.
Thank you, Nina.
Well, if there's nothing else to add,
I will consider the merits.
Your Honor, I'd like to put
Dr. Doug Peterson on the stand.
Objection!
You're here to certify a class action,
not grill my client.
Class actions take a
long time to prepare.
I think the plaintiffs in this courtroom
deserve some answers today.
We're all dying to know
what motivated Dr. Peterson,
or, should I say, "Mr. Peterson,"
since he won't be a doctor much longer?
- I object!
- You can't object, sir.
This woman is demonizing me.
My motives were pure.
I only inseminated women
who weren't having
success with in vitro.
My sperm is highly potent.
All I'm guilty of is giving couples
the families they desperately wanted.
- It was a selfless act!
- Oh, spare me!
You may not have been
drugging and raping women
or-or forcing them to watch you
masturbate into potted plants
- Objection.
- But you
are just as vile as any other predator.
You loved looking at your
trophy wall, didn't you?
Your sick way of continuing your legacy.
But let's be clear.
A real father
tends to bloody knees.
A real father
sits through soccer games in the rain.
A real father tucks
his child in at night.
You may have had a
biological connection,
but you were never a father.
All righty, then.
I'll have my decision
on whether to certify
this class action tomorrow.
Adjourned.
You didn't suck.
Neither did you surprisingly.
Will you please just
tell me what's going on?
Hold your horses. You'll see.
Surprise!
We painted the suite for you.
Sofia, did you do that one?
It's beautiful.
I did this one.
Oh! Also excellent.
I told Justin about the new arrangement.
He's cool with it.
I just heard.
Natali has certified our class action.
- Congratulations.
- That was great work yesterday.
From both of you.
Wait, a-are you wearing the
same outfit from yesterday?
I have spare shirts in my office.
Let me guess.
You stayed over at the hatemonger's?
As a matter of fact, I did.
I almost broke up with
her the other night
because of you three, but I didn't.
And do you know why?
Because she likes me.
We like each other.
Do I agree with all of her views? No.
But at least we can discuss things,
and she doesn't What's the word
cancel me because I
don't fall in lockstep.
And she sure as hell
doesn't make me feel like a dinosaur.
You treat me like all I'm good
for is free office rent
a promotion
a second chance.
Crystal doesn't want a thing from me
except my company.
And my body. She loves my body.
The sex with her is spectacular.
Beach volleyball, right?
Right.
You're Lucy's wife.
That's right.
You're Asha.
Well, nice to see you again.
That time you kissed Lucy
did you know she was married?
No. I didn't.
I didn't know it the next
few times we "kissed," either.
In fact, I only found
out a couple of weeks ago,
at beach volleyball,
but, my bad, we did have
one last "kiss" after that.
And for that, I apologize.
Getting a head start on the weekend?
Sort of.
Meeting a friend.
Congrats again on the partnership.
- Thank you.
- Equity?
- Income.
- Seriously? Oh.
I set the table for you
and all you had to do was close.
Set the table for me?
Did you say something to Harry?
No!
Of course not.
Daniel.
Have you ever known Harry to do
anything he didn't want to do?
Ms. Bianchi!
Hey, I just wanted to thank
you for all of your efforts.
Ready to go, Dad.
If you don't have
any plans this weekend,
you should come over on Saturday.
Yeah, we're hosting a barbecue
for nine of my new siblings.
We're choosing to
look on the bright side.
Paula and I always dreamed
of having a big family.
And I always wanted
brothers and sisters.
Well, that's a lovely offer,
but I'm actually moving
My folks say I grill a mean burger.
You should come, too!
I'd love to.
Abigail, Harry wants you in his office.
- Um, Jerri?
- Yes?
Would you and Eleanor like
to come to a barbecue this weekend?
We'd love to.
Lucy was the one bad-mouthing
your girlfriend, not me.
Close the door.
I did what you asked.
I made Daniel partner.
Don't pretend like you did it for me.
Now I want you to consider
something in return.
When your probation's
over in six months,
I'd like you to stay.
That is a dreadful idea.
I interviewed a number of lawyers
to replace Daniel.
None of them was quite right.
Jerri thought it was
because they weren't my son.
Daniel would never have
brought me a case like this.
You are what this firm needs, Abigail.
Think about it.
Wow. Just when I need a friendly face,
- here you are.
- I ran into Asha today.
Maggie, you have to believe me.
- Okay? It's over.
- Yes.
It is.
Maggie, I
Oh, and by the way
I'm pregnant.
What a cutie-pie.
Thank you.
Come on! Come on.
Hey! You wanna walk?
Okay, okay. Come on.
Your first sleepover, Peanut.
How exciting!
Mr. Popularity.
Uh, do you think it's
okay to bring Englebert?
Well, it wouldn't be fair for
him to miss out on the fun.
Since when do you have a phone?
Dad loaned me his old one,
in case I didn't want
to spend the whole night.
- Oh.
- But I think I'm still
getting his texts.
Who's "Felicity"?
Frank, hi!
Uh, FYI, Nico's still
getting all your messages.
So, you might want to keep them PG.
And you must be Felicity!
Truly not a pleasure to meet you.
Have a great night, you two.
You were right.
She found out.
I didn't know where else to go.
