01x07 - Three's Company

[bunniefuu]

And may contain
mature subject matter.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Previously, on family law...

I'm seeing a therapist.

How is it?

Surprisingly insightful.

It's time I was made partner.

Little early for that.

Want in on the office pool?

$100 lets you guess which day
Daniel breaks up with Danielle

before their
two-year anniversary.

Speaking of Danielle,

I sent her dates for
her wedding shower

three days ago and
I haven't heard back.

I broke up with her.

♪ Daniel, Daniel

♪ she gave you her answer, boo ♪

Awesome engagement gift, right?

♪ She's half crazy
all for the love of you ♪

If you hadn't had an affair
with a woman named "Felicity"...

I didn't mean for it to happen.

- Maggie. Lucy's wife.
- Oh!

♪ Feels like I'm moving on

♪ Feels like I'm moving on

♪ Feels like I'm moving on

♪ Feels like I'm moving on

♪ Feels like I'm moving on

♪ Feels like I'm moving on

♪ Feels like I'm moving on

♪ I'm moving on

Hey, Danny, wait up.

You didn't break
up with Danielle

because of me, right?

Because I planted doubts?

Wow. Give yourself more credit.

I liked her. I was
rooting for you.

Right. That's why you kept
your little office pool going

even after I proposed.

And paid it out
when we broke up.

I saw Jerri pricing
flights to Maui.

For the record, I think
you did the right thing.

Thanks, Abigail.

Your approval means
the world to me.

I'm serious.

It takes courage

to end something
that isn't working.

It's better than
stringing her along

while you're, oh, I don't know,
hooking up with other women.

Good morning,
Mr. Junior svensson.

It's Daniel.

I'm so sorry about the
barbershop quartet. I had...

Stop it,
all of you! I'm fine.

Jerri.

Morning. Pour you a coffee?

Thanks. Got it.

Big canucks game tonight, huh?

Yeah.

Want to catch it with me later?

Can't. Busy.

They're on a hell of a roll.

Really coming together.

That's what happens
when you play like a team.

You know, spread
the puck around.

Mr. Junior sve... "Daniel"?

Uh, your 9:00 is here.

What?

I believe I'm owed
spousal support.

Okay, Bailey.

When did your marriage end?

Oh, their marriage
is still going strong.

S-Sorry, their...?

Gavin and crystal.

I was their unicorn.

Did I not already say that?

So how long were
you three together?

Two years.

I met Gavin first.

He was just so classy. You know?

And so handsome.

It was like talking
to Keanu Reeves.

He introduced
me to crystal later.

She's fine, too.

And what was your net worth

at the start of
the relationship?

Any assets?

Oh, no. I'm an artist.

Or at least I was, until
they got buried with work.

Then I became their
full-time househusband.

So you set aside your
career to help theirs?

It was enriching on both sides.

Crystal called it
"developing new life skills".

Gardening and cooking

and organizing
their company's files.

And as you developed
these "new life skills,"

would you say their
company's value increased?

Big time.

Until one day,

totally out of the blue,
they kicked me out.

Where are you living now?

In the studio.

With a weird toilet.

I mean, can people just do that?

They won't return my calls.

It's like it never happened.

There's not much precedence

when it comes to
polyamory and the law,

but it sounds like
your relationship

would fit the definition
of "marriage-like,"

which means you should
be entitled to a share

in the increased
value of their company.

And if we get the right judge,

we could get some
spousal support.

Well, this all sounds
promising, right?

What are their full names?

Steele.

Gavin and crystal Steele.

The crystal Steele?

We're in

this collective moral freefall

thanks to the deterioration
of traditional family values.

Take the institution
of marriage.

It's been h*jacked.

I mean, if gay people
want civil unions,

fine, go for it,

but don't force the rest of us

to redefine

the legal definition of marriage

to suit your agenda.

Probably should've
led with that, huh?

♪ 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

♪ you can't prove it

♪ uh-oh

the problem these days

is that everyone is too
afraid to tell the truth,

because of how
they will spin it.

And who exactly is "they"?

The left-wing media,
the snowflakes,

the social justice warriors...

They're all trying to suppress
our freedom of speech.

You cannot say
anything these days

unless it fits into

their ultra-sensitive,
politically correct

belief bubble.

They're trying to
control the narrative,

and we are not gonna roll
over and just let that happen.

I want to roll over
her with a truck.

Now, now, now.
v*olence begets v*olence.

Seriously, Jerri?

This is the same woman
that said trans people

were "mentally ill
attention-seekers".

Well, you know what
they say about revenge.

It's a dish best served cold?

The best revenge
is a life lived well.

Mmph. I like mine better.

I can't believe she's in a
polyamorous relationship.

Why would crystal
Steele risk her reputation

for a three-way?

Why would "insert famous
person's name here"

risk everything for
"insert sex act here"?

The heart wants
what the heart wants.

Is that what you tell yourself
every time you have an affair?

I feel sorry for
men like my husband.

His kind have become

the most oppressed
group of the 21st century.

And what group is that?

Straight white men!

It's true!

What?

I can't even compliment a woman

without risking a sexual
harassment claim.

Oh, poor dad. The injustice!

Yeah...

The fear of a slap on the wrist.

All we fear is getting
the crap b*at out of us

for merely existing.

- You walked right into that one.
- Okay, okay.

Point taken.

The background
info you asked for.

Crystal was a
high-school teacher

till she got fired for
using health class

to discuss her pro-life views.

I think you mean anti-choice.

She started a YouTube channel...
"thinking right with Steele"...

Which skyrocketed
in the last few years.

Hundreds of thousands
of subscribers.

Horrifying, but
surprising no one.

Fits with Bailey's timeline.

Polyamory is the
exact type of thing

crystal Steele rails against.

Which means she's gonna want

to settle this
quickly and quietly.

I think I've always been

somewhat polyamorous.

No, Harry. You've always
been a serial-cheating assh*le.

Guess it runs in the family.

You want to tell me what's up?

I don't know, Lucy.

Do you want to
tell me what's up?

You've been making
innuendos all morning...

Like you think you
know something.

Oh, I don't think I
know something.

I know I know something.

I saw you... last night.

Sticking your tongue down
some random woman's throat.

It's not what you think.

I'm pretty sure it's
exactly what I think.

Ha! There you are, Ms. Svensson.

You have a patient waiting.

With the puck now

in the neutral zone.

Dustin brown...

Crosses the line.

And with the puck
just behind the net...

It looks like gaudette
has got the puck there.

What's the score?

Since when do you
care about hockey?

I support the hometown team.

Name one player on the canucks.

There must be a
"Dave" or a "Dougie"?

I thought you'd
want some company

since Daniel's... busy.

He hasn't been himself lately.

He just broke off
his engagement.

That's why I invited him
to watch the game with me.

I think he'd rather you
invited him to be your partner.

I'm not giving him a leg up
just because he's my son.

Come on, Harry!

You're way harder on
him because he is your son.

He's not ready.

Well, throw him a bone, then.

Something to show
him he's valued.

She's smaller in real life.

Except her head.

It's huge!

It looks normal-size
on Instagram.

You follow her?

I follow lots of people,

from all over the
political spectrum.

Ugh, Jerri!

What is the expiry on that?

Two weeks ago.

You can't drink that!

It's for crystal.

What happened

to "the best revenge
is a life lived well"?

Sometimes in life, you
gotta take your lumps.

What'd I say?
Keanu Reeves, right?

From which movie?

Let's get right to it.

Our client was in a
common-law relationship

with the steeles.

No. The only relationship
my clients had with yours

was landlord-tenant.

I'm sorry. Did you just
say "landlord-tenant"?

Do you have the lease agreement?

Of course they don't.
I wasn't their tenant.

They didn't make him sign one
because they took pity on him.

He was a starving artist,

so they let him stay

in exchange for doing a
little work around the house.

They pressured him

into giving up a
lucrative career.

Lucrative?

He sold posters on etsy.

Postcards.

Mrs. Steele's fame

attracts the occasional
unscrupulous type.

Now, I've advised my
clients against engaging,

but they're decent people.

And in spite of Mr. Jacob's
outrageous claims,

they're willing to
pay a settlement

to avoid any future harassment.

That's our offer.

With conditions.

It stands for 24 hours.

That was a wall of lies.

Yeah. They wouldn't offer


It's not a bad offer.

You'd have to sign a
confidentiality agreement

and an affidavit swearing
you were just a tenant.

I cooked them dinners.

I had sex with them regularly.

I planted a herb garden!

Okay, let's...

Basil. Mint!

Dill... tarragon.

Verbena!

All the times I
should've been painting,

I was taking care of them.

Bailey.

As your lawyers, we
advise you to sign this.

Just think.

If you have student loans,
you can pay them off.

Start painting again.

But how can you just pretend
like something didn't happen?

I'd be signing a lie.

Why don't you sleep on it?

We'll talk again in the morning.

Artists.

Hmm. Did my research
before I came here.

You and I have a certain
infamy on YouTube.

Oh, poor you!

You can't say a word to me
without my lawyer present,

otherwise you'll be
in a heap of trouble.

Hey. That's a nice touch with
the "gender-neutral" bathroom.

It's for him, isn't it?
Your receptionist.

She... Is our office manager.

And you are a piece of...

Oh, sorry.

I... what are you...?

Hi...

Hi.

So you're...

Yep.

I have an uncle who watches you.

Great.

A lot.

He doesn't get out much.

"Read this out loud, please."

Ahem.

Uh, "Bailey won't sign.

He would never accept
such a paltry sum,

so there's nothing stopping
him from going pubic."

Sorry, "public".

"And then he will
'control the narrative'".

Are you nuts?

Nina. Excuse us
for a minute, please.

I'm not a lawyer,

but I'm pretty sure you
can get disbarred for that.

Well, I'm not a lesbian,

but I'm pretty sure

making out with someone
who isn't your wife

is cheating.

So if... if I keep
my mouth shut,

you will too, is that
what you're saying?

No, that's what you're saying.

I'm so sorry, but I
really do need to pee.

They're for real this time.

You can even call
Dr. Attwar if you want.

I gave her permission
to talk to you.

I know.

- How do you...
- Because I already called her.

Oh.

You said you wanted
to talk about something?

Yes.

Sofia.

She still smitten with Justin?

Since she's been grounded,
he texts her, constantly.

Oh, god, please no d*ck pics.

Ha. Worse! Poems!

Oh, how bad?

Like "maybe we can push
off the birth control chat" bad?

Sofia thinks they're deep.

Yeah. 'Course she does.

We can't keep her
locked in her room forever.

Can we?

She has probably been
grounded long enough.

Yeah, okay.

I'll tell her

that we've agreed to
let her out on probation.

I just got off the
phone with Candice birch.

The steeles
withdrew their offer.

What? Why would they do that?

In my office! Now.

And yet again

the virtue-signaling left

is trying to take
us down with lies.

This time,

they're claiming

that my husband
and I were involved

in an inappropriate
sexual relationship

with our former tenant.

But we will not be blackmailed,

which is why I've
decided to go public

with these outrageous lies.

Fake news!

Cooked up by a hack artist
and two unscrupulous lawyers...

Daniel svensson
and Abigail Bianchi

at svensson and associates.

What the hell is she doing?

She's controlling the narrative.

Hokey-smokies, Ms. Bianchi.

She stole your idea.

You talked to the
opposing lawyer's client?

No. Nina did.

It's true.

I read Ms. Bianchi's
text out loud.

Am I going to get fired?

No one's getting fired.

Correction. Nina's
not getting fired.

What were you thinking?

I-I was trying to leverage

a stronger position
for our client.

Bullshit.

You couldn't help yourself.
You just had to go after her.

Actually, crystal
was going after Jerri.

I heard everything.

Crystal Steele
has built a career

getting a rise out of people.

You have to keep a cooler head.

Do you have any idea

how badly you just
b*rned our client?

And us.

It's false claims like these

that keep crooked firms

like svensson and
associates in business.

She keeps calling
us out by name.

Maybe it's a good thing.

It might drum up new clients.

People who can't
stand her politics.

No. It's a tactic.

She's mobilizing her followers.

Daniel has a point.

If something is
repeated often enough,

our brains are programmed
to start believing it.

What are we talking about?

A handful of incels
sending angry tweets?

They're not gonna do anything.

They'd have to put
on pants for that.

It's okay! It's okay.

It's just a stink b*mb.

Nina, call 9-1-1.

I know this was
an upsetting incident

and I want to make it clear
we're not taking it lightly.

Feel free to work from
home for the rest of the day

and move any client
meetings offsite.

We'll beef up security
and get back at it tomorrow.

We all know how fast
the news cycle moves

and I have no doubt this
will all blow over quickly.

If you have any
questions or concerns,

don't hesitate to ask.

All right, we good?

Great. See you in the morning.

Crystal's
followers are all fired up.

What are they saying?

Rebelrage41 says,

"sounds like the lawyers at
hashtag svensson and associates

need to be served...

With a punch in the head."

And this guy says,

"the lawyers at hashtag
svensson and associates

are maggots.

Time to fumigate."

And crystal Steele says,

"the way hashtag
svensson and associates

are trying to exploit
me, makes me want to..."

Want to what?

Gotta give
her credit for that one.

Like I said,
we'll beef up security,

to be on the safe side,

and it's coming out
of your paycheque.

You pay me less
than a paralegal.

No offense.

Guys?

Abby and Daniel
both just got doxxed.

What the hell does that mean?

Crystal's followers posted
their home addresses

on the Internet.

Which home address?

Hey, sofe. Everything okay?

Mom.

I tried calling dad,
but he's in court.

- What's wrong?
- There's some guy in our yard.

Just kind of... lurking.

Are the doors locked?

I think so.

Okay, sweetie.

Just stay away from the windows.

I'm on my way.

Please hurry.

I will.

I'm gonna stay on the
phone with you, okay?

I'm sure it's nothing.

It's probably just some
guy looking for his dog.

I'll drive.

Did you get a good look at him?

No.

He was wearing a red ball cap.

I think it had words on it.

Well, he's long gone now

and there's no evidence
of an attempted break-in.

Grampa!

My favourite grandson!

Hey. We got here
as fast as we could.

Are you arresting my sister?

Sweetie, why don't you
take your brother inside?

Mom.

Have you built that
medieval castle I gave you?

Yeah! It's so cool.

Ah.

You've gotta see the catapult.

Oh, and one thing I
bet you didn't know...

That, in medieval times,
they pooped in their closets...

Want to explain what's going on?

Uh, we've made an
enemy out of crystal Steele.

The crystal Steele?

And her rabid followers.

We aren't all rabid.

I'd suggest you all find

somewhere to stay
for the next few nights.

Better safe than sorry.

This is so unfair.

I just got ungrounded,
and now this.

Oh, it's nice to
see you, too, Sofia.

I love you, Jo-Jo,

but I was supposed
to go out tonight.

Not with the pierced creature
I found on my couch, I hope.

Trust me when I tell you...
You can do so much better.

You probably just
rigged this whole thing

so I couldn't see Justin.

Oh. Sofia, come on.

No, frank, she's onto me!

It's how I spend my
every waking hour.

"What can I do to
mess with Sofia's life?"

Are we in the witness
protection program?

Nothing quite as
exciting as that.

Look, Jo-Jo!

I copied your signature.

That is scarily good. I'm
gonna lock up my chequebook.

Why are you allowed
to have your phone at the table?

Uh, I'm managing a
bit of a situation here.

And Jo-Jo needs a top-up.

You know...

It might be better if you
didn't do that in front of Abby.

You know, it might be better

if you didn't do that woman
at the legal convention...

Oh, wait. Too late.

Everything okay in here?

All good.

Just exchanging the
usual harsh judgments.

Excellent.

God forbid we become one
of those functional families.

Do you think that
guy in our backyard

was one of crystal's followers?

I don't know.

Maybe the kids should stay
home tomorrow with my mom.

That's a good idea.

Maybe you should
take a day off, too.

No. I'll be fine.

Mm. You sure?

Mom?

Can you bring me some
ketchup for my chicken balls?

Gross.

You check in with
your brother and sister?

Everyone seems to have
survived the night incident-free.

Oh, my god.

The trolls have your
number now, too.

I'll block him. It's fine.

It's not fine.

These people are sick.

I don't want you to go
into the office today, babe.

I can't cancel on my patients.

I'll be careful. Promise.

Hey!

How are you doing?

Shitty, thanks.

What do you want?

I don't know if you heard

about what's going
on with crystal Steele...

I'm a PR strategist.
What do you think?

I just wanted you
to know I'm fine.

I mean, you weren't responding
to my text messages...

Take a hint, Daniel.

It's called ghosting.

It's not my first day
of kindergarten, frank.

You don't have to walk
me right to the classroom.

I've seen what crystal's
followers are posting.

If it were up to me,

you wouldn't be
going to work at all.

Can I see some I.D.?

I-I work here.

Great. If you wouldn't mind

showing me your
license or something.

And yours, sir?

Oh, I'm her, um...

I was just walking her up.

See you tonight.

You get into work okay?

I'm here, aren't I?

Look, Abby.

What you saw,

it was a moment of weakness.

Hmm.

Priya... my teenage therapist,

the one you so
highly recommended...

Says our weak moments reveal
a lot about who we really are.

Screw priya.

Seriously.

I feel horrible about it.

Do you?

Or do you feel
horrible you got caught?

Why do you care,
one way or the other?

Because it's a shitty
thing to do to your partner.

Okay? Believe me, I know.

What's wrong with us?

Is it genetic?

Well, I'm not the
one who cheated,

so, if it's genetic,
you're the carrier,

not me.

How are my grandkids?
Everyone okay?

Yes.

I kept them home from
school, just to be safe.

Jerri, I've never seen you
wear running shoes before.

So? They're comfy.

And much easier
to run in than heels.

We're all a little on edge.

Um, Mr. Svensson?

Uh, that was clive berg.

He just cancelled.

Your 2:00 cancelled, too.

Really?

Oh, and Cecil called in sick.

Yeah, right.

He's got a bad case
of chickenshit-itis.

Well, my dad wanted me
to stay home today, too.

But I just love my job too much.

Get your brother.
We need to rein this in.

Harry wants to see us.

Everything okay last night?

I live in a high-security condo
with a doorman named brutus,

so, yeah.

Aside from a slew
of r*cist posts.

r*cist? What are they saying?

Oh, everything from
anti-semitic to anti-Muslim.

A few think I'm from Pakistan.
One dude thought I was chechen.

Mine were more of

the misogynistic, rapey,
death-thr*at variety.

I don't have kids to
worry about, Abby.

So, if you want to step
away from this case,

I'll understand.

Thank you.

But I need to see this through.

I'm part of the reason
we're in this mess.

Part of?

All of. You are
all of the reason.

I just found out
one of our clients

jumped ship to Phil
sterling because of all this...

The falafel prince of Vancouver.

We need to find proof
that Bailey's telling the truth.

So find it.

Do you have
anything that can prove

the nature of your
relationship with the steeles?

Emails? Texts?

No. Crystal
was super-paranoid

about leaving a digital trail.

A digital trail?

She insults everybody on
Twitter and her YouTube channel.

Were the three of you
ever seen in public together?

Maybe you told your
family or your friends?

I'm the kind of person
who just disappears

when they get in a
relationship, you know?

I'm trying to work on that.

No, no, no! I
locked up last night.

Maybe we should call the police?

We need to call the cops.

What if they broke in
while you were here?

They could come back.

It's okay. I'll...

I'll be evicted next
Friday, anyway.

There are some,
um... I should...

There are some
framed pieces over here,

I should check for broken glass.

You know, he's actually...

Surprisingly good?

Bailey?

Is this you and Gavin?

Whenever crystal
was away on business,

we'd sneak off to Tofino.

I was gonna give it
to him for his birthday.

It's beautiful.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

Gavin's an artist, too.

A photographer.

Crystal forced him
to do business school,

but he still takes pictures.

Cityscapes. He
even took some of us.

I'm wearing crystal's
heels in one of them.

It was meant to be camp,
but it was surprisingly sexy.

Wait.

There are pictures?

Sexy ones?

Well, not "mapplethorpe
sexy," but...

Bailey.

Pictures of you two, together?

Ohh.

He probably destroyed those.

You heard him. I
was their "tenant".

I think I just wanted
an excuse to see him,

one more time.

Maybe that's why I came to you.

To see if he's
hurting, like I am.

So selfish, right?

Not really.

You needed to know that
what you had was real.

The worst thing?

Even after all this,

my heart still tells me it was.

Is that stupid?

Bailey, think.

Was there a time where
anyone could have seen

you and Gavin together?

Once, maybe?

The first time we met.

Where was that?

Yeah, I've seen
him. Never with her, though.

He used to come here
alone on weekends.

Okay. What about this guy?

Can't say I have.

Can I fix you something?

Bear on the beach? Aging twink?

Uh, what's a "d.I.L.F.
On the rocks"?

Or you know what?

Two mineral waters.

So, back to the first guy...

Ever see him leave
here with anyone?

Your jawline fascinates me.

Oh. Thank you.

Yeah. I've seen the older
one with some of our regulars.

That guy, over there.

Gavin likes 'em young.

Mm-hmm.

What do you do
for a living, jawline?

Hmm? You a fireman?

Underwear model?

Well, actually, I'm a lawyer.

Enjoying the male gaze?

It's the most attention I've had

since Danielle and I...

You know...

Since you are the one
that ended it with her,

you could probably UN-end it.

Pretty sure I burnt that bridge.

Gavin picked me up
here a few years ago.

He and his wife
and I had a thing

for a couple of months.

Have you heard
what's happening lately

with the steeles?

Oh, yeah. It's
all over the news.

They're really
trashing that poor guy.

It would mean a lot to him

if you would come
forward with your story.

It would mean a lot to me
if I could avoid a hate crime.

We're not asking
you to go public.

You don't even have to be in
the same room as the steeles.

Just come into our office
and sign an affidavit.

It would show Bailey
wasn't the only one.

Mm.

You were out late.

Everything okay here?

No.

You left me alone
with your mother.

Cruel and unusual punishment.

Mm.

I'm sorry about
this whole thing.

It's not your fault.

Ah, that's not
entirely accurate.

Abby, you smell like booze.

Trust me, it's not
what you think.

A drag queen spilled
her drink on me.

Possibly on purpose.

I was at a gay bar with Daniel.

Daniel's gay?

He wishes.

It's where our client
met Gavin Steele.

Wow. Kind of risky for them
to be seen out in the open.

Well, not them. Him.

Apparently, Gavin
went there a lot.

We found this other
guy he picked up,

pre-Bailey.

He also lived with
the steeles for a while.

He's agreed to
sign an affidavit,

so hopefully it can
put an end to all this.

Hmm. So, it's always Gavin
who went cruising for a third?

Never crystal.

Mm-hmm.

He probably wanted
to protect her, right?

She's the one in the public eye.

Or it's, uh, Gavin's thing,

and she just goes along with it

to try to keep him
happy and in the closet?

Hmm.

Florence.

That's where I
bought you that bra.

It's still my favourite.

Mm-hmm.

- Oh. Sorry.
- Sorry.

My ride's here.

I'm just grabbing a banana.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

You two had sex.

What? Mother.

Don't even bother.

I'm onto you.

Yeah.

We tried.

He was gonna sign an
affidavit, but he got cold feet.

So let me get this straight.

You have no ex, no texts,

no emails, no love notes,

no one who's ever seen
the three of them together.

Essentially, you've got nothing.

That pretty much sums it up.

Apparently, there are photos,
but Bailey doesn't have them.

Meanwhile, our clients

are too afraid to
come into our office,

and we keep hemorrhaging
money as this drags on.

I think it's time
we drop the case.

We can't just let her win.

You know I'm a fighter.

But sometimes,

you need to know when
to throw in the towel.

I've been thinking

about something frank
said to me last night.

What if crystal goes
along with all of this

for Gavin's sake?

Bailey, the guy from the
club, many others, I'm sure.

But why would she just...?

Because she loves him.
Doesn't want to lose him.

That would mean she has a heart.

Which is a stretch,

but if Bailey's right?

If what he and
Gavin had was real,

then maybe Gavin
still has those photos.

Well, if he does,

he's not just gonna
turn them over.

You heard what Harry said.

When have I ever
listened to Harry?

Wow. It's like
fort Knox around here.

Hope everything's all right.

I can empathize.

I know what it's
like to have to hire

a security detail
every time you travel.

Costs a fortune.

Enough to bankrupt
a small business.

We're dropping the case.

I'm glad you came to your senses

and we can lay your
client's lies to rest.

To be clear, we don't
believe they're lies,

but the r*pe threats
and the death threats...

"When I find you, I'll..."

the "f" word...

"and then chop you into pieces

and feed you to my dog."

Positively tame,
compared to some of them.

My client can't be
held responsible

for what some of
her followers say.

One of them broke
into Bailey's studio

and trashed it.

Destroyed most of his paintings.

He's been
getting death threats, too.

Your followers are really
good at tracking people down.

Yeah, he can't
stay at his studio.

It's not safe.

Of course, he's getting
kicked out anyway.

He's flat broke.

He's gonna have
to give up painting

and get a serving job.

But he doesn't
have physical proof

of your relationship,

and he's decided

it's not worth risking his life.

Congratulations, I guess.

Excuse me.

For the record?

I'm not mentally ill.

I'm not an
attention-seeker, either.

Though my wife,
Eleanor, might disagree.

I've got nothing
against you, okay?

Some of the things
I say on my channel,

it's just clickbait, you know?

It's nothing personal.

Of course not.

Feeding stereotypes that
endanger people's lives...

Why would I ever
take that personally?

I'm gonna go inside
and play with my castle.

My serfs have missed me.

Hey!

Say bye to your mom.

Goodbye, mother.

Bye, sofe.

It was fun living
all together again.

You should come back.

Dad, I'm not going in
the house without you.

Talk later?

I have to get to my
aa meeting anyway.

You're going alone?

Jerri's meeting me there.

I'll be fine.

Crystal posted that
we've dropped the case,

so I haven't had a
death thr*at all afternoon.

Can I walk you to your car?

Thanks, but I'll be fine.

That was a rhetorical question.
I'm walking you to your car.

You realize you're gonna
have to tell your story in there

at some point.

Baby steps, Jerri. Baby steps.

Ah!

Whoa!

Ahh! Ahh!

Gavin?

Oh, my god.

He's got a good
eye. Very charged.

We understand how
difficult this must be for you.

Your husband of how many years?

Finally coming
out of the closet.

Just get to the point.

You have got to be joking.

Bailey stole my husband.
Why would I pay him this?

Because, based on your earnings

before Bailey entered
your life and after,

this is more than fair.

We'll still want the
confidentiality agreement.

And we can get
Bailey to sign it,

but it won't do any good.

Gavin won't be bound
by such an agreement.

Word will get out...

And your reputation will
get dragged through the mud.

You'd enjoy that, wouldn't you?

Hell, yes.

But, frankly,

we don't relish a new
slew of death threats...

And you want to save face,

so here's our offer.

All's well that ends well, huh?

Only the person
responsible would say that.

I'll admit to some culpability.

You are 100% culpable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You weren't at
paddle-boarding this morning.

Where were you?

Sorry about that.
Won't happen again.

I mean the part where
we do anything together.

The lawyers at
svensson and associates

were not crooked liars.

It was my husband
who deceived me.

He deceived all of us.

And I thought our marital
vows meant something.

This has made me more
determined than ever

to fight against the
immoral behavior

that is tearing away at
our country's social fabric.

Crystal was unaware of
my affair and my lifestyle,

and it's caused our marriage
to come to an abrupt end.

I regret hurting my wife,

but I no longer am
ashamed of who I am.

So, how is this
going to play out

in the court of public opinion?

Gavin wins. He
stopped living a lie.

But crystal was the
one who got cheated on.

I mean, pretend
cheated, but still.

Well, I think
you've both demonstrated

how this is gonna go.

The people on the left
are gonna side with Gavin,

and the people on the
right will side with crystal.

Who says I'm on the right?

Great to see you got
some fight back, Cecil,

after feeling so sick.

I'm entitled to a safe
work environment.

Photocopying is very safe.

So, nothing changes.

She gets to keep
spouting her hateful views.

Our job was to get Bailey
the best deal we could,

not to silence crystal.

Not quite a fairytale ending.

Apologies for
interrupting the party.

Sorry, she just
pushed right past me.

What are you doing here?

You haven't told them?

- Not yet.
- Oh.

Well, I was very
impressed with your law firm,

so I've hired Harry to
represent me in my divorce.

Could you take Mrs.
Steele to the boardroom?

I'll be right there.

"Mrs. Steele" should know
where the boardroom is by now.

Oh.

Okay.

Harry.

Seriously?

We're a law firm, Daniel,
and she has deep pockets.

Oh, and you don't have to work

with your brother
for the time being.

You're with me on this one.

What?

This could get ugly.

I'm going to need
a street fighter.

Someone who doesn't mind
getting her hands a little dirty.
