01x04 - Mama Don't Preach

[bunniefuu]

And may contain
mature subject matter.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Previously, on family law...

Take this to the dry cleaner's.

I'm not supposed to do
your personal errands.

You said your dad was dead.

No. Uh, what I said
was, he was dead to me.

So, if he's your dad, that
makes him my grandpa.

I already have grandchildren.

Two.

I keep forgetting
she's your daughter.

Ahem.

My therapy receipts.

And, uh, check this out...

My one-month chip from a.A.

Congratulations.

I thought he told you

he severed all contact with her?

He did.

I believe him.
Except when I don't.

I have to report her.

If you do, she'll be disbarred.

I gave her a second chance
and this is how she thanks me?

By getting drunk

at work, in my office.

Did it never occur to her

what kind of position
that would put me in?

This is not about you.

I thought she was
stronger than this.

Don't do that. That's not fair.

You have her working
round the clock,

with a bunch of family
she's just met and...

Okay, okay.

And... she's separated,
and lost her kids.

Still. No excuse.

You took Abigail on
to help her get better.

So help her.

By turning a blind eye?

What... isn't that...
What, enabling her?

Relapse is part of the process.

You know this.

When I fell off the wagon,
you gave me a second chance.

Why? Why are you so
hard on your own daughter?

Ethically, morally,

legally, I should report you...

But I'm not going to.

This is your one free pass.

Do you understand me?

If you do anything to jeopardize

this firm's reputation...
My reputation...

Again,

you are done.

You'd better pray you don't get

a random
breathalyzer test today.

I can't do anything
to help you with that.

One more thing.

I want to meet my grandchildren.

What?

Why?

You've never wanted
to meet them before.

That is patently untrue.

You returned the
Christmas gifts I sent them

five years in a row,

so I finally gave up.

That's your version
of trying to see them?

I'm not having this argument.

I'd like to meet them

and you are going to say yes.

Yes.

I need you to proof these.

What were you and
dad talking about?

Partnership.

Yeah, right.

Your 9:00 A.M. is here.

Abby...

No, don't. Don't be nice to me.

Thank you.

Mr. Kirkman.

I'm Daniel svensson,

and this is my junior
associate, Abigail Bianchi.

I need to emancipate
from my parents,

effective immediately.

♪ You can't prove it

♪ uh-oh

♪ you got nothing legit

♪ uh-oh

♪ the glove don't fit

♪ uh-oh

♪ you gotta acquit

♪ uh-oh

♪ the charges won't stick 'cos

♪ I ain't no sucker

♪ ain't your lollipop but

♪ you can kiss my sweet

♪ uh-huh

♪ never gonna stop
never gonna stop... ♪

♪ Never gonna stop
never gonna stop ♪

♪ you can't prove it

♪ uh-oh

why do you want

to emancipate, Aaron?

Because my parents
are destroying my soul.

Okay.

Well, to start,

I'm gonna ask you
some initial questions

just to get a sense
of what's going on.

Are you currently
living with your parents?

Yes.

And are they providing you
with the necessities of life?

Like?

Like, a roof over your head?

A bed to sleep in?

Yes.

Enough food to eat?

Well... yeah.

Do they provide you
with clothes? Shoes?

Ugly shoes.

Do you have a job?

No, but I have
signed up for LinkedIn.

Okay. And if you were to
emancipate from your parents,

do you have a new living
arrangement in place?

Yep. My friend, Sam,

his mom said

I might be able to crash

on their couch for a few days.

Has there been any physical
or sexual abuse at home?

Ew! God, no.

Wait. Does emotional
abuse count?

It could.

Okay, cause at my house,

it's a constant string
of micro-aggressions.

It's a lot of emotional
labour, you know?

Like?

Like, yesterday?

My mom reamed me
out for wearing a crop top

to reverend Jacob's sermon
about "Christ-like love."

A crop top. To a church.

Yeah, she was slut-shaming me!

I was this close to
contacting buzzfeed.

Would you excuse us

for a moment?

Slut-shamed?

I won't let Sofia
wear those shorts

that show
ass-cleavage to school.

Does that give her grounds
for emancipation, too?

He's too "woke"
for his own good.

He's a mixed-up kid.

Without a legal leg to stand on.

On that, we agree.

Seriously,

what is wrong with you?

Just trying to keep
the brain hydrated.

Gotta stay sharp

if I'm gonna make
partner by next week.

Aaron, unfortunately,

I'm not sure that
we can help you.

I can pay.

I sold my entire
x-box one bundle.

Money isn't the issue.

Your situation just doesn't

meet the criteria for
emancipation, I'm afraid.

The petition wouldn't
hold up in court.

It's normal for teenagers

to want independence
from their parents.

But it's not about that.

If I can't emancipate,

I-I honestly don't know
what I'm gonna do.

Aaron, before you go,

there's someone
I'd like you to meet.

Uh, Cecil?

Can you please show our
friend, Aaron, to Lucy's office?

Yeah, sure.

My ex-girlfriend had
the same Fanny pack.

Uh, you mean my hands-free
"toolbelt of awesome"?

Even better!

I totally want one.

Abigail!

So, my client wants
full possession...

Can I just use the washroom...

of all 500 of these
family photos.

Make colour copies
to enter as evidence.

So I handle photocopying now?

It's called penance, Abigail.

Yes, I'm intimately
familiar with the concept.

You're seriously gonna
introduce 500 photos in court?

Family photos have
sentimental value to my client,

therefore they have
monetary value to me.

Why not just send
them to a photo shop

and get a quality
second set made?

Problem solved.

Have you learned nothing
about family law yet?

They both want
ownership of the originals.

You are excused to
use the washroom.

Frank! What are you doing here?

Have you been drinking?

What?

No.

That's a...

What a horrible
thing to suggest.

Then explain the texts you
sent to Felicity last night.

Uh, I can assure you,

I've never texted
your one-night stand.

Now, if you'll excuse
me, I have to pee.

"Stay away from my
husband... You count."

It's kind of funny,
though, right?

It's, in fact, not funny.

Okay? Felicity is a peer.

And you shouldn't go
around calling people...

"Counts," Abby.

You know what else
you shouldn't do?

Sleep with other
people's husbands.

- You lied about texting her.
- You lied

about severing contact with her.

I saw her social media.

You've been
communicating with her.

I have not!

What... I mean, what you saw,
that was... that was one comment.

If you were serious about
this, you would've blocked her.

Yeah, and how do I know

you're not going to San Diego

just to pick up
where you left off?

Because we're not!
Look, I'm not going...

Everything I have been doing

to get our marriage and
our family back on track...

The... the therapy,

the a.A. Meetings...

Do you have any
skin in this game?

Point taken.

Thank you.

Speaking of getting
things back on track...

How would you feel
about the kids sleeping over

on the weekend?

Yeah. Sure.

Also, I, uh, was, um...

Thinking it's...

Probably time they
met their grandfather.

Harry?

Really?

Wow.

Where did this come from?

I don't know.

Uh... Harry's getting old

and, uh, just
realized family's, um...

family. You know.

I do know.

I think that's really
nice of you, Abby.

Well, we can
sort out the details

after I pee.

Who's she?

My wife. Maggie.

So, what can I help
you with, Aaron?

Here's the thing...

I'm gay.

That's awesome.

And are you out to anyone?

Everyone. I came out last year.

How'd that go?

My school loved it.

They've got a
hard-on for diversity.

Like, last week?

Basic Simon's parents

threw him this coming-out
party for being pan.

And it's like, "yeah,
congratulations, Simon,

but you're still a basic."

Your school seems
super-progressive.

It is super-progressive,

which is why my mom
wants me to transfer

to this Christian
school in September.

And you don't want to go?

No.

She cried for, like, two days
when I told her I was gay,

had our neckbeard priest

to pay a house visit
to preach to me about

how it's "Adam and Eve,
not Adam and Steve,"

all while my mom just
wailed in the background.

She wonders why
I'm a drama queen.

How are things
with your folks now?

They're not, like...
Terrible people.

But they're always pressuring me

to make one of my
girl friends my girlfriend.

It sounds like your
parents aren't seeing you

for who you really are.

They want me to marry
a woman and have kids.

Marriage?

Boring heteronormative trope.

Some people might say.

I feel for Aaron.

For a q*eer teen,

living with h*m*
parents can be brutal.

But emancipation
isn't the solution.

The kid has no resources.

He won't be better
off living on the streets.

Why don't you set up

a meeting with Aaron,
his mom, and his dad?

Sometimes, parents just
need a nudge from a third party

to open their minds.

Yeah. Good idea, luce.

I'll see if I can get them in
here by the end of the day.

And who will be paying for this?

I would like to do it pro bono.

More pro bono? No.

Dad, please.

This is important.

Not everyone

is as lucky as I was to
have such accepting parents.

Fine.

But just one session.

This is a law firm, not the
bleeding hearts society.

Hustle, hustle, on those copies.

Daddy's pet.

Oh, you're just
figuring that out now?

Did Harry, uh, really support
you when you came out?

He hugged me.

He said he'd always love me.

Dad never made me feel
anything less than cherished.

What about you?

Did Harry make
you feel cherished?

"Cherished" isn't the
word that comes to mind.

More like "neglected."

I'd probably land
on, mm, I don't know,

totally and
completely abandoned.

Dad and I have our issues.

Oh, no, Lucy, it's wonderful.

Cherish your
father-daughter relationship.

I'm gonna Cherish
this matcha tea.

Thanks for
agreeing to meet with us

on such short notice.

The purpose of this meeting
is to give Aaron space

to communicate any
concerns he might have

about how things
are going at home.

Aaron?

Look...

I know you guys love me...

But I need you to understand
that being gay isn't a choice.

And while it's not the
only thing about me,

it's an important
thing about me.

Aaron, if you really are...

something went
wrong developmentally,

like reverend Jacob said,

and that's not your fault.

I keep thinking about

all the soy I drank
when I was pregnant.

Ruth, you cannot
blame yourself for this.

You know it's not natural,
which is why you're so unhappy.

Uh... let's maybe not put
words in Aaron's mouth.

Since he's "come out,"

he's become agitated,
his grades have fallen.

Just look at what
you're wearing!

It's a cry for help!

I took this shawl
from your closet.

It belonged to your nonna!

We just don't want Aaron
to have a hard life, that's all.

And his life will be hard
if he chooses this path.

My life's only gonna be hard
because of bigots like you,

who think I'm the spawn of
Satan just because I like boys!

Okay. I told you, this
would only encourage him.

Uh, thank you for your
time, but this is a family issue.

We will talk at home over
a grilled cheese, okay?

Let's go.

Ahem.

Thanks anyway.

Uh, hey.

Call me if you need anything.

Hi.

Hey.

No pre-dinner Martini?

I didn't feel like one tonight.

Will you pass?

I don't know.

Okay.

What, do they want
a blood sample next?

No, I-I don't know
this number. Hang on.

Abigail Bianchi.

I need your help!

Aaron?

It's my parents, they're
sending me away. I...

Where are they sending you?

Aaron?

Hello?

Mr. Kirkman.

We're here to see Aaron.

He's not here.

And where might we find him?

He went... That's
not your concern.

Our son is not your client.

Actually, he is.

We signed a pro bono
retainer agreement with him

and we will continue
to represent Aaron

until he terminates
that agreement.

I'd like you to leave, please.

Per the children's
act, it's illegal

for you to hold Aaron
anywhere against his will.

The courts have no
place in my home.

My only concerns
are my son's welfare

and god's love.

I see the shame in your eyes.

You should try to accept
Christ into your heart.

It might help you heal.

Sorry if you've been waiting.

Our receptionist stepped
outside for some fresh air,



Yes?

I'm here to see Abigail Bianchi.

Oh, can I ask
what it's regarding?

I'm from the labs. I'm
here to take a sample.

Oh. Harry?

Uh, this lab technician
is here to see Abigail.

She's out of the office all
day today, isn't that right?

Correct. Abigail
is out of the office

all day today, unfortunately.

She's back. Abby!

More photocopying?

Why's dad got you
doing all this grunt work?

Because I'm not cherished.

I did a little research.

That's the same logo that
was on the kirkmans' doormat.

Their church runs a
"Christian lifestyles" camp.

"Our camp gives moral guidance
to troubled men and women

so they can lead
healthy, functional lives,

modeled after Christ-like love."

You do it.

Why me?

Because. You break
rules all the time.

Which is why you should do it!

- No...
- Blessed heart.

Tristan speaking.
How may I help you?

Hello?

Hi. I'm...

Aaron kirkman's father.

I was checking to
see how my son was...

Adjusting.

The campers

are currently writing
their moral inventories.

It's crucial their spiritual
progress isn't interrupted,

but rest assured,

your son is in good
hands here, Mr. Kirkman.

Good to know. Thank you.

Bye.

You know...

When I became a paralegal,

I imagined my career
involving 100% less cornstarch.

You were a dreamer,
that's the problem.

My skill set is being
woefully underutilized here.

"Moral inventory"?

Sounds like a thinly-veiled
conversion therapy camp.

As in "pray away the gay"?

I don't know, I went
to Bible camp every summer,

and it was awesome.

We got to learn
how to ride jetskis

and we rode dirtbikes.

Kissed a girl
for the first time.

With tongue.

I still have my purity ring.

These camps use
deeply dangerous tactics

to "cure" gay people.

They are very, very bad
places, especially for kids.

The firm can't intervene
based on speculation.

Well, we need to find
a way to talk to Aaron.

♪ My faith,
my faith, my faith

♪ my only Christian faith

♪ Jesus, he is my homie

I still remember all the hymns.

No. No, you guys.

It's... it's unethical.

And very illegal.

How did I get roped into this?

Well, you're the one who said

your skill set was
being underutilized.

Let's be clear. This is
also not part of my skill set.

Just make sure your
camera is working.

Eli says it's only good

for about 90 minutes
between charges.

So, choose wisely.

Got it.

I am live-streaming to my cloud.

Seriously, though,

you know you don't
have to do this, right?

Yeah, I know, but
I really like that kid.

Hello!

This must be the young
man you called about earlier.

Mrs...?

Offred.

This is my son, Isaac.

He's been having lustful
thoughts about boys.

Let your lust alone.
It, too, shall pass.

That's what I said.

Please, sign in.

Jesus Christ welcomes
you into his embrace, Isaac.

All right, we've
got it from here.

Follow me.

Goodbye, mother.

You can't be Christian

and gay

at the same time.

It's that simple.

Now repeat after me...

"I'm using sexual sin

to fill a god-shaped
hole in my heart."

Michael?

I'm using sexual sin

to fill a god-shaped
hole in my heart.

Now everyone...

"please, lord, make me pure!"

- Please, lord, make me pure.
- Please, gord, make me poor.

h*m*
is a social construct.

Hey, Aaron...

It's Cecil. Remember me?

- Huh?
- From svensson and associates.

I liked your Fanny pack.

Oh! Yeah.

What are you doing here?

We just wanted to
make sure you're okay.

Ahem.

You know the rules...


to leave room
for the holy spirit.

God created you

to be a man in Adam's image.

I'm glad we finally
get to meet our grandpa.

Why?

Well, for starters,

you get baldness from
your mom's side, so...

I'd like to see what the
future holds for my hair.

I'm prepared for any answer.

Okay, kids, uh...

Maybe let's not tell
grandma Jo-Jo about this visit.

So lie?

No. No. Never lie.

Just, uh... neglect to
share the information.

What is your greatest fear

this week?

That I'll be a failure.

Mm-hmm.

What is your greatest
fear this week?

That I'll let you, my
family, and god down.

You know,

I don't think

sticking 16 repressed gay
guys in a cabin together

is the best way to
turn them straight...

But, whatever, it's
above my pay grade.

Look, we just want you to know

you're fully within
your legal rights

to leave whenever you want.

If I left, my parents would
just send me to another camp.

Maybe worse than this one.

It's futile.

All I'm saying is,
you're not in this alone.

Hey... Isaac, right?

Can you follow
me for a quick sec?

Follow you?

Where?

Just a one-on-one session.

Sorry, a one-on-what?

Do you think this stuff is okay?

Why did I order pickles?

Do kids still even eat crackers?

I've just never seen
you like this before.

And yes, I believe
kids still eat crackers.

And you've cleared my afternoon?

Harry. Until 4:00.

Okay.

Uh, kids, um...

This is Harry.

Your, uh, grandfather.

Thank god, you've got hair.

Hello, Sofia. Hello, Nicholas.

Uh, his name's Nico.
Okay? Just Nico.

It's really nice
to meet you both.

Um, this is Jerri.

I've known Jerri
since I was little.

Aren't you the one
who was a man before?

Nico! Oh, my god!

Yes, that's me.

Cool.

Make yourselves at home.

There. Sure. Great.

Cool.

One of those pens
they used in olden times.

Yes! That's an
antique. Just, um...

Careful not to get ink on the...

Never mind.

I've got this.

Uh...

Okay, I'll be in my
office if you need me.

Here we are.

We are leaving right now.

Oh, my god. What
happened to you?

Careful, that cart's on wheels.

Um... do you have anything
to drink that isn't alcohol?

Yes, Jerri got some kids' drinks

in these little
disposable containers.

Juice boxes?

Yes. Juice boxes.

Uh, right there, help yourself.

This must be weird for you.

Well, mom told us
you were dead, so.

Not dead, dead to her.

So what's your excuse

for, like, never trying to
meet me once in 13 years?

Ahem.

Well...

Uh, your mother
didn't really want me to,

not that I'm blaming her.

Right, 'cause you're the
grown-up in the situation.

Right.

Your grandmother
and I were young.

We both made mistakes,

and, you know, things got, um...

Complicated.

That's your answer?

- It's weak.
- Yeah.

Sorry. I'm new to this
whole grandparent thing.

It's fine.

Molly's grandparents don't
know how to talk to her either.

They just buy her
affections instead.

Does it work?

There's only one
way to find out.

I'm glad you're not dead, Harry.

Me too.

Sorry, Harry. Frank's here.

What?

Already?

- Hi, dad!
- Hey.

Guess what?

Grandpa gave me a fountain pen.

Frank, good to see you
outside the courthouse.

Harry.

Thank you for this.

Y-You're welcome here anytime.

I mean it, please come back.

We will.

- Bye, honey.
- Bye.

Bye, soph.

We'll talk later.

Abby?

Someone on the phone for you,

says there's an
issue with your son.

But Nico's right there.

Hello?

Mrs. Offred?

I'm afraid I've got bad news.

Your son's gone a.W.O.L.

A.w.o.l.?

Isaac ran away
with another camper.

Isaac! Uh...

Let me call you back.

Cecil, please tell me you
did not just kidnap our client?

Could... could someone
please explain to me

what the hell is going on here?

I cannot believe

you sent our paralegal
out to be a secret agent.

Seriously, Daniel?

It wasn't just him. Dad.

No, we were all a part of it.

But Daniel's supposed
to be in charge!

It's up.

Thank you, "cecile".

Tell me how long you've harbored

these kinds of feelings for men.

How did you get so close?

He's, um, talking to me.

Oh.

I don't have to answer that.

You know, sometimes,

sexual abuse can be buried
deeply within the psyche.

I told you,

I've never been sexually abused.

Okay, Isaac. We have other ways.

Ahh...

Whoa.

Are those electrodes?

I'm going to
attach these electrodes

to your arm and show
you some images.

No, no!

You don't have
my consent for this!

I'm leaving!

Oh, Cecil.

What's with the electrodes?

Electrical-aversion therapy.
I-It's like pavlov's dogs.

The jolts are supposed to create

a negative association
with q*eer images.

It can't be legal.

It's a grey zone.

Human rights groups have
done a lot to shut them down,

but certain organizations

have found ways to
practice underground.

Most of these kids
probably don't even realize

their rights are being violated.

Are you okay?

Y-Yeah.

I'm just thankful they
didn't try something like this

on Aaron first,

and I am stating,
for the record,

that I am never doing
your dry cleaning again.

Fair.

Excuse me. Abby?

Kristy's here to see you.

The lab tech?

Again?

I, uh, I'm kind of in the
middle of something.

What is this regarding?

Your test results.

They're inconclusive.

Weird.

Sometimes, that can happen

if the sample is
extremely diluted.

Oh...

I read in women's health

that the key to glowing skin

was to drink a
gallon of water a day.

Do you think that
could be the culprit?

Possibly.

In any case, we're gonna
need to take another sample.

Yeah. Sure.

Anything I can do to help.

I love peeing in cups.

It's a bottle.

Do you want to talk about
what happened at the retreat?

Well, I learned to embroider.

I joined an a cappella
Christian reform cover band.

Here's hoping I get to go back
for the electroshock therapy.

Humour is a great
coping mechanism,

and you have a fabulous
sense of humour...

But it's also a shield.

You don't have to hide in here.

No one should have to go through
what you've been through, Aaron.

I am so sorry.

Yeah, me too.

There's this guy
in my physics class,

um, jarod chu.

We've been flirting
like crazy all year.

And last week, we... we kissed.

I was, like, floating.

But then this feeling crept in

and I couldn't shake it.

It just felt wrong.

I felt wrong.

There is nothing

wrong with you.

I know that, up here.

But when you get told over
and over and over again

that there's something
wrong about you,

it becomes really
hard not to believe it,

just a little bit.

Do you still want to emancipate?

I don't know.

I still love my parents. I do.

I don't want to hate them.

But...

But I don't want to
hate myself either.

No, no.

I'm going to attach these
electrodes to your arm

and show you some images.

No, no! You don't
have my consent for this!

I'm leaving!

I can't believe that
almost happened to Aaron.

Nothing we've seen here today

changes the fact

that you not only
kidnapped our son,

but you completely
disrupted his rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation?

Were you not
watching that video?

That was straight-up
child abuse.

I admit, it's... It's radical,

but when you've got cancer,
you do aggressive chemo.

I'm sorry,

but are you comparing your
son being gay to cancer?

Ruth, let's go.

I've already contacted
our church's lawyers.

Please. Send them over.

We'll be talking to
children's services,

and then we'll call the police,

then we'll release this
video to national news.

You want to be famous?

Call them all.

Mr. Kirkman...

We are raising Aaron...

You think we're monsters.

I think

it's obvious

you love your son very much.

More than anything.

How could we send him there?

Mr. Kirkman, I'm just
gonna be honest with you.

After seeing
inside that retreat,

our firm is willing to
take on Aaron's case.

And if we go to court,

we will win.

But, well, what then?

Aaron moves into a group home?

Lives on the streets?

I don't want that for him.

Neither do we.

Hey!

Uh, this is my sister, Lucy.

Lucy, this is Joel, Aaron's dad.

Hi...

Hi.

Lucy, uh, went to Stanford.

She's married,

has a thriving
psychology practice.

Soon, she'll be
giving our father

beautiful grandchildren,

and she's gay.

One of the reasons
why she's done so well

is because our
father supported her.

I-I don't know what to do.

He's almost an adult.

Let Aaron finish

this last little
bit of growing up

in a home where he's loved...

Unconditionally.

Cherish him.

Oh, wow. Okay.

Um...

I just want you all to know

that, uh, I love you...

Very much.

Just the way you are.

Cool.

Can you UN-pause the movie?

Sofia.

I want to watch it.

Pass the popcorn, grandma.

I will, if you don't call
me grandma ever again.

Grandpa lets us
call him grandpa.

Oh.

You met your grandfather?

Oh... wait.

I forgot not to tell.

It's okay, sweetie.
Be right back.

You and Abby seem to
be getting along a bit better.

Well, that's not saying much.

What?

I think maybe
she's been drinking.

No way.

She came in the other
day, reeking of perfume,

guzzling water
like a triathlete.

She looked hung over.

And that lab tech's been
here two days in a row

and, I don't know,
she just seems off.

Are you gonna tell dad?

Here's the really weird
part. I think he knows.

What?

No. There's no way.

Why "no"?

Maybe you're not the only
one of Harry's daughters

who gets preferential treatment.

Danielle.

Maggie?

Yeah.

Hey, you.

Hey. Kids, I'm here!

Let's go.

They're ready.

Hey, guys. Come on.

Bye.

Bye, nerds.

Bye, mom.

Bye, honey.

Have fun!

You okay?

Why didn't you tell me, Abby?

They're fake.

They're not fake.

They're for cancelled
appointments.

- How did you...
- You're not the only one who

has ways of finding things out.

They're for appointments

I couldn't make because
of work obligations.

So, work is more important

than repairing the damage
you've caused our family?

No! Of course not.

I really thought you were
serious about getting better,

but this is...

This is classic old Abby,
scamming the system.

I'm not scamming the system.

Until you put in this much...

Show you're willing to put in

the absolute minimum
amount of work...

There will be no
extra time with the kids.

All I want in this entire world

is for our family to
be back together.

Then stop lying to us.

I believed you, Abby.

Again.

God.

I'm an idiot.

I'm meeting Carmen Fitzgerald.

Ahh. I see her.

You're late.

You're beautiful.

I want to discuss

a potentially expl*sive
case with you.

Uh-uh-uh! We made a pact.

No work talk on dates.

This one, though, Carmen,
it strikes a personal chord.

Conversion therapy camp.

"Pray away the gay."

Surveillance footage.

Highly disturbing
and definitely illegal.

Why are you giving this to me?

You single-handedly

had the child
victim's act changed.

I don't know about
single-handedly...

The church lawyers

will run in the other
direction when they see you.

If what's on this thing

is half as bad as you're
making it out to be,

we could have the
retreat shut down

by the end of the week.

You're in?

But you're taking me to
hawksworth on Friday night.

Oh, is that so?

- Hi!
- Hi.

For your and Aaron's new place.

Thank you.

Hopefully, I can keep it alive.

Ruth's the one with
the green thumb.

This is gonna be so weird.

Well, you did the right thing.

I keep saying that my son

is the most important
thing in the world to me.

It was time to walk the walk.

And how are you
feeling about the move?

- Pretty good.
- Yeah?

Yeah, I honestly can't believe
my dad followed through with it.

Well, I'm happy
he's got your back.

Well, I don't think he'll be
joining pflag any time soon.

I told him I had a
boyfriend yesterday,

and he nearly passed out.

Oh! Before I forget,

um, can you give
something to Cecil for me?

Sure.

Okay. Um, this...

Is my handsfree
toolbelt of awesome.

I think he deserves it.


family photos...

scanned.

The kids had a good time.

Maybe you'll be a
better grandfather

than you were a father.

I am a father who's
saved your bacon twice.

Your kids are great, Abigail.

Don't do anything
more to disappoint them.

Do you have
a moment to talk about Abby?

Oh, please, don't
let me stop you.

Okay.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask.

Have you been drinking again?

Because if you have,

you'd be in violation
of your probation,

which is bad for everyone.

Daniel, I think

you should focus
less on your sister

and more on bringing
in paying clients.

Just when I thought we
were starting to get along.

Hey.

Look, Harry insisted on
meeting Sofia and Nico.

It was a condition

of him not blowing
the whistle on me.

Okay?

Okay.

Mm.
