Previously: -What did you say?
Nice to see another older, mediocre white man...
higher up comes cronyism instead of merit.
Mr Svensson, I was hoping for a convincing argument...
but yours was, how to say, mediocre.
I met Veronica Crombie. Nice person. What does she see in Chip?
We're trying to stop the bleeding and you're stalking a kindergarten teacher?
I wanted to see Frank's new girlfriend. - You're going to be my homework mole.
Can I take you out to dinner? - Thanks, but I have a boyfriend.
You'd better find another place to stay.
Are you kicking me out?
You don't have to leave right away, Abby.
Good Lord. - You are awake.
Nice morning, huh?
That was about it.
Why is he always here? - Because he's my friend.
He has his own house. - And you, dear, have not.
As long as you live here, you can't criticize our relationship.
Is swimwear too much to ask?
If you don't like it here...
can you go back to your sister.
Wait, Lucy kicked you out. Because you broke up with her relationship.
So if you don't want to sleep with your little brother, shut up.
Coffee?
That was fun.
For the first time it didn't have to be so soft.
And when we go into the kitchen later...
there are no dirty dishes in the sink.
That's true.
But?
I just feel bad about it.
Oh honey. That's not necessary. You did her a favor.
Trust me, she'll thank you for it later.
But I still see her every day. That gets uncomfortable.
Abby is grown. She's not spiteful.
I was always finished, just not always right away.
And she said I was "too critical." And that my jokes 'cut off'.
I'm waiting for the part that doesn't make sense.
This is from Kelly. Something isn't right about her.
You don't like her because she sees through you. Lucy is happy.
Be happy for her.
Good morning, Rose. - New mop.
What Happens When Lawyers Take Viagra?
They get longer. - Oh, because we're dicks.
Which courtroom am I in?
My client wants to pay less alimony.
He currently has no job.
Because he is a commercial fisherman. That is how it works.
Six months on, six months off. This has been taken into account.
Turned down. - There's nothing to reject.
This falls under the spousal maintenance guidelines.
Counselor, stop your drivel.
Since when are requests on behalf of my client "babble"?
There you go again. blabla. You must respect the court.
You don't like me, but don't take that out on my client.
Are you accusing me of bias?
To my departure, Miss Bianchi. Now.
How dare you go on like that? - Stop it.
You've been targeting my family for months.
And you manipulate the dispatcher into avoiding me.
I know, yes. - I did it for my clients.
You shouldn't have any influence over human lives.
You must learn to hold back, miss.
Don't come any closer. - Then show some respect.
Alarm center. What's your emergency?
I'm in court with Judge Crombie.
I think he's having a heart attack. - Okay, we'll send an ambulance.
Can you resuscitate? Madam? Are you there?
I'm Abby and I'm an alcoholic. - Hi, Abby.
I really needed a drink today.
I live with my mother. Again.
And she's doing it with my dad. Again.
You can't blame anyone for your alcoholism...
but it's their fault.
And this morning...
I gave a judge a heart attack...
by kicking him in the balls.
I'm sorry.
A lawyer must not admit that she caused a heart attack.
You must be an alcoholic, Mr. Cohen.
What happens in AA stays with AA.
Correct. As long as Crombie doesn't press charges.
He does not do that. Or do you?
If he does, I know a good lawyer.
This is nasty.
I wanted to warn you, but you were being a bit of a jerk.
Touché.
Shall we have real coffee?
Shall we go?
Go ahead, Jerry. - I will wait.
No, I'll be fine.
Also divorced. For almost five years. And two children.
One wants to become a lawyer. - God forbid.
How long have you been kicking the habit? - Not long.
A few months this time.
This time? - You know what they say.
If it doesn't work the first time... - How often...
Did it not work out? Twice.
And you?
I just got my locket. - Wow, congratulations.
Do you miss it? - Absolute.
But not so often anymore.
It does make life calmer.
But to be honest, also a bit boring.
You have to learn to find your kick elsewhere.
Miss Bianchi, is that your foot?
Ben Cohen?
Harry Svenson.
Ben, this is Joanne. - Nice to meet you.
Ben is a great prosecutor. He helped Abigail with a case.
That consultation was therefore a success. Please, keep having breakfast.
No, I have to go to court.
You did it to my daughter. Then have coffee.
Sit down. - Great.
From Phil. Chip Crombie had a heart attack yesterday.
How bad. Is it how it goes? - And if anyone was there?
No, but if we're lucky... - Don't say it.
I know you don't like him, but think about Veronica.
Good.
Tell me all about you.
As long as you feed off your mom, we can carpool to the office.
But you're suspended and can't be here.
I'm going on the treadmill here. - You can do that in your flat too.
Other people exercise there.
Heard of Chip Crombie?
You were in court yesterday. Seen something?
You were there too. Did you see something?
Roz told me.
A lawyer went on a rampage against Crombie.
He was called biased.
He called her to him.
He could be heard in the hallway. And then bam, heart attack.
My office. Now.
You don't cause a heart attack by kicking someone in the balls.
This is not good. - You're making it worse.
What if Chip is the judge on Bass?
Look at it positively. - How?
He can die. - Good news.
Roz learned that Chip's doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
Go to the hospital and fix this.
With a pillow on his face? - No.
With flowers and apologies.
Mr. Svensson? - Yes.
Your appointment is here. So for Miss Bianchi.
I have to meet first. - No.
I'll go, because what else am I supposed to do...
now that dad's suspended and you're killing judges?
My mother is suing us. - Your mom?
For reception costs.
She took care of Cyra until she turned two years old.
How old is Cyra now?
Just turned three, with a great vocabulary...
Why would she do this? - We had a company, Convergent.
I know that. You sold it for a lot of money.
We put all our energy into that business.
And now her mother wants a piece of it.
I still can't believe it.
Did you ask her to babysit? - No, she offered it.
And spending out of pocket? - We paid for everything.
Food, Science World membership, bus tickets.
We thanked her in countless ways.
With holidays, theater tickets, dinners.
Was there a contract? - No, she's Cyra's mamani.
Without an official agreement, Cyra's mamani stands little chance.
'Her skin is so soft and clean, her neck so long and slender.
Her hair smells like apple pie, she's my special girl..."
Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb. - Abigail? Come in.
Chip recited the poem he wrote for me on our anniversary.
A man of many talents.
I'm going to get you that extra blanket, okay?
I'm going nowhere.
That you dare to show yourself here. I sue you.
I'm suing you. I saved your life, miserable...
Oh, my dear Chip. I'm so glad you're okay.
Excuse me. Who are you? - I'm Chip's wife. Who are you?
I don't know who you are or how you know my husband...
He is my husband. We live in Sumach Creek.
Didn't Chip have an office there? - We've been married for five years.
Go to Psychiatry, two floors up.
Excuse me. Who is Mr Crombie's wife?
That's me. - I certainly don't.
Your husband is kept in a coma.
What? - Who has the power of attorney?
I.
I don't know what game you're playing, but you have to go. Now.
No, you have to go. - No you.
Ladies, this is a hospital. Go elsewhere.
Veronica, again, I'm so sorry.
Two women fought over Chip Crombie?
Did that woman seem credible? - That was hard to say.
Maybe she's Chip's mistress coming to claim what she's been promised.
Not the first judge with a girlfriend.
Or the first lawyer. Or the first psychologist.
I'm going back to my office. I have a spelling contest.
I'm going to the toilet.
What is he doing?
You don't think... - Harry uses Cecil as a mole.
Listen, I hope you're not mad...
You kicked me out. - I needed space.
My relationship with Kelly is... - Stifling and dependent?
Still in the honeymoon.
Kelly thought you could handle this like an adult.
As so often, Kelly is wrong.
Glad we talked. I made the right decision.
Thank you Jerry.
How was your coffee with Ben? - Tasty.
You know it's not a good idea...
to hook up with someone who is just recovering.
We had coffee and shared a chocolate bar.
Do you blame me for talking to a new member?
That I'm some kind of mentor? - No of course not.
Will Ben sleep over again tonight?
I just finished this. He sure likes it.
I pass it on. - I'd rather give it myself.
Abigail advances.
Miss Bianchi, Chip Crombie's wife is here.
Which?
That woman banished me from the hospital.
'That woman' is his wife. - No, that's me.
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
Jeanie, we've known Chip and Veronica for years.
We see them at events, we know their son.
Look, I have pictures of us.
I'm a waitress at Seaglass Inn. Chip sat down in my ward.
You must have been in a relationship.
A friend of mine sent me a photo of our marriage certificate.
OK, we'll do it like this.
Let your friend collect everything that can prove your relationship with Chip.
Photos, receipts, whatever. - Okay I will do that.
Right before she dropped, I saw Bowen asleep, during Drag Race.
How can he sleep with all that noise?
How can we be friends?
Mr Bianchi just called.
He's in court and asks if you can pick up Nico.
Yes. Thank you Winston.
Cecil, I sent you a photo of a marriage certificate.
Find out if it's real.
But it's 4:45 PM. Roz and I are going to the movies.
Then I'd hurry.
Hi mum. - Bye, boy.
Your father is busy, so this is my lucky day.
Do you have snacks? I rattle.
No. But let's get something tasty on the way. I'm hungry too.
Where are your mask and things? - Those.
I knew that. It was a test. You are graduated.
They're there.
Did that fall out of the blue or can you do magic?
She gave it to me.
You must be Abby. - And you must be Isabelle.
How nice to meet you.
Why are you here?
When Frank couldn't reach you, he asked if I could drive by.
Well, I'm here. Nico's mother is here.
Want more banana bread? It's delicious.
I'm not hungry. - But you just said you did.
That feeling is gone.
Well, then I'll go. Bye, Nico. - Hello, Isabelle.
So Isabelle is a good baker? - Her banana bread is delicious.
But not as good as Whole Foods.
She seems nice. - She's okay.
Only ok?
She works with little kids, so she treats us that way too.
We even got to make macaroni art.
Sofia must have gone crazy.
When they first met, she gave Sofia a pink and white headband.
Sofia said: Do you think I'm five?
Poor Isabelle.
She finds it hilarious when she says:
"I live a county away," because she lives on Alberta Street.
Her garden is full of gnomes. - Gnomes?
You should hear her laugh. She sounds like an ass in pain.
Okay, let's not make fun of that poor woman.
She sounds ridiculous.
And boring. Perfect for Frank. - Mother.
But I want to hear about you and Ben.
Much better than the firefighter. - Did I ask for your opinion?
A direct line with a prosecutor is always beneficial.
You never know. - As long as it's good for the company.
How did you find each other again? - I have to go to work.
I hear you're representing Chip Crombie's mistress.
She's his wife. There is a marriage certificate.
Easy to counterfeit. - That's why I'm having him verified.
Seriously, you have a driver.
Why should I pay when you can take me for free?
Nice day.
It's five past nine.
I've been working on the Bass case since six.
And the rest of Dad's files. - You are a partner.
Well, salary partner.
Good morning. - Hi Luce.
Nice, having dinner with you and Kelly. Thanks for the invitation.
What time should I be there and what can I bring?
Seven o'clock and wine. - It'll be fine.
I won't raid your fridge, don't leave my dishes...
and don't tell inappropriate jokes. - You're not funny either.
What? I'm late because I had so much to do.
What did you discover?
I spoke to the official who signed the marriage certificate.
She remembers the marriage. And should you see this.
Divorce papers, ten days before Chip married my client.
That's not my signature. I didn't sign this.
This document is forged. - I thought so.
And we know who faked it. Chip lied to you.
He lied to my client. He's a bigamist.
If the papers are forged, Chip's marriage is void.
True, but according to Article Five...
Can a spouse claim alimony and assets.
Trust me, we will.
Wait, how insignificant?
This can not be true. - Oh my God.
It's enough for now.
We'll continue when we know more about Chip's condition.
Your Honor, Mrs. Shirazi volunteered to look after Cyra.
My clients expressed their gratitude...
with holidays, theater tickets, dinners.
They are devastated that Mrs Shirazi caused this rift...
but family helped family.
No financial compensation was ever discussed.
No more questions.
Mr. Grigoryan?
Your Honor, I'd like to summon Mrs Shirazi.
Mrs. Shirazi, can you tell us more about those 'holidays'?
They stayed all day in their beach house.
I was in the kiddie pool.
They went out for dinner, I made ghormeh sabzi for Cyra and me.
How many hours per day?
From six in the morning until Cyra's bedtime, around eight.
And those dinner parties and theater tickets?
Chuck E. Cheese and The Lion King on repeat.
I know the whole text of 'The Cycle of Life'.
What happened when Cyra turned two?
They didn't need me anymore.
And they took a full-time nanny? - Yes. Which is paid very well.
Now I only see my granddaughter on holidays.
Objection. Relevance?
This does not matter, because there was no contract.
That's what I'm working towards. - I allow it.
Mrs. Shirazi, was there an agreement?
Yes, a verbal agreement with Farhan.
Objection. This cannot be verified. - Turned down. I'd like to hear it.
I remember because it was Cyra's first birthday.
I cleaned up the kitchen.
Farhan entered and said:
"When we're better off, all your hard work will pay off."
I meant a gift basket or something.
Shame on you.
I want to request a suspension. - Assigned.
We'll meet again tomorrow.
She took my comments out of context.
But you did say it.
Come up with a low amount in advance. - She doesn't get a dime.
My mother has done so much damage to our girl.
Cyra had to go to the emergency room when she was only 20 months old.
My mother made her make sand pies that she ate.
Did Cyra get sick? - No, but it was close.
Is that right?
She used cheap sunscreen with PABA in it.
She gave her cereal. - And canned soup.
Cyra was not allowed refined sugar.
We found chocolate wrappers.
She was allowed to watch Odd Squad for half an hour.
Once when we got home...
Cyra had drawn faces on herself, with permanent marker.
Jerri, I'd like to chat, but I already have something.
This is dangerous. You know that right?
It was only one night. He didn't give me his school sweater.
He's less than three months sober. - He didn't even say anything.
I know people who know people. - Okay, Angela Lansbury.
I appreciate your concern, but I'll be fine.
It is fine. It's just fun, nothing more.
Now I really have to go.
Just turn.
Then smell.
You smell the wet leaves well. I taste something like a paper bag.
Was this wine recommended?
The best pinot noir from the Okanagan.
If you haven't noticed, my brother is a wine snob.
Rather 'sommelier in training'. I say that in the apps.
Are you dating again? - I've been out a few times.
But they are... - Not Martina?
I know it's pathetic.
Not at all. We all know it, right?
I don't have time to date. This couple was forced on me.
She is suing her mother for childcare costs.
I wouldn't want to be at their family dinners.
According to my clients, she was a poor caregiver.
She never followed their rules. - Of course not.
If mémère came from Quebec, she spoiled me.
I was allowed to stay up late, watch too much TV, eat a lot of sweets.
It drove my mom crazy. That's what grandmothers are for.
Grandmas break the rules. That's how it was at our house.
That went well. Your eggplant with Parmesan cheese was delicious.
Nice.
Is everything all right? - It is nothing.
No, tell me.
He was here for over three hours and didn't ask about you once.
So is Daniel. - It made me sad.
Why do they want to speak to us?
There's bound to be news about Chip. - Maybe.
Or maybe Chip wants to pay you a hefty sum...
to cover this up, à la Stormy Daniels. The sneaky.
Sorry, I keep forgetting he was your husband.
How's Chip? - His condition is still the same.
Then why are we here?
I had a private investigator snooping around Sumach Creek.
He talked to a Bobby Eldrin.
Can you tell Jeanie's lawyer what you told me?
I tried to warn Jeanie about the wedding...
that I was pretty sure Chip was still married.
Hey Jeanie. How are you?
You knew it. You knew Chip was married.
You can do two things.
Go back to Sumach Creek and never talk about this again...
or hope overalls look good on you.
Because I'm charging you with conspiracy to commit fraud.
Be honest. Did you know? - No.
Bobby wanted to warn me, but he's been asking me out for years.
He came into the hotel with his hackneyed pick-ups.
'Did you just come out of the oven? You are hot.'
I thought he was jealous. - You had a suspicion, didn't you?
Chip was often in Vancouver. You must have googled him.
I'm not on social media. I come from a small town.
There's enough gossip there already.
You think I'm a loser.
If you could see the available men where I live...
lucky you if he still has his teeth.
Chip came by and we had interesting conversations.
Did I ever wonder if he had a mistress? Yes.
But I was his wife. And he always came back to me.
Now you come to work unannounced.
Your receptionist is gone.
You don't have to stalk me anymore.
Be serious.
Suppose you know that someone is a bigamist.
And suppose, hypothetically, that you...
represents the second wife of that bigamist.
How serious is it for the woman if she knew he was married?
Hypothetically?
She could be charged with fraud.
Good. Thank you.
My sponsor thinks this is dangerous.
She is right.
So he really is a bigamist.
He thought he could get away with it.
Men like Chip think they're smart.
And above the law.
Why would anyone want two partners? One is already complicated enough.
Threesomes can work.
But not if both parties know nothing.
Different women can fulfill different needs.
Why not just an affair? - Correct.
The Harry Svensson Divorce School.
Whether he lives or dies, his days as a judge are over.
Hello, Lucy Goosey. - Hi Dad.
I take my food to my office.
Luce, thanks for last night. I liked it very much.
Of course you did. - What does that mean?
What did you find out about Kelly?
That she prefers fresh basil over dried?
It was all about you all night. I feed your narcissism.
Lucy apparently did that for me, so don't feel too special.
Is your skirt backwards? - No, this is the style.
Daniel, Clark Grigoryan is here for you.
We have to be in court in two hours. What is?
My client wants to waive her demand...
in exchange for a small payment and intercourse with her granddaughter.
Why? - She misses Cyra.
She is estranged from her daughter. - She should have thought of that sooner.
The alienation was already there. - But she wants money.
She wants to feel appreciated.
I'll pass it on.
I have to go back to work.
You've become a reasonable lawyer, Clark.
Thank you. You too.
You were already pretty... You're good, I'd say.
Thank you.
Daniel said, "You've become a reasonable lawyer."
And then Clark said... - Stop it.
We know you use him as a mole.
Of course I use Cecil as a mole.
He is a loyal employee. No one else says anything.
Because you're suspended.
Now you settle the Jagdal case.
You just want to settle. - Not true.
Where's your fighting spirit?
How can you win for Sabrina Bass?
Connery's lawyer is Cordelia Bernstein.
She's a pit bull in court. You can't be a pug.
I'll see you in court. Grandma doesn't get a penny.
Mrs. Shirazi, you love your granddaughter very much, don't you?
Naturally.
You spoiled her a lot, didn't you?
I think so. My memère did the same.
She came from Quebec with a suitcase full of goodies.
I liked everything.
I was miserable for weeks when she was gone.
Objection. Relevance? - Assigned.
Let's not reminisce.
Apologies, your honor.
Mrs. Shirazi, did your daughter and son-in-law have a lot of rules?
All parents are overprotective of their first child.
Yeah, but let's face it, their rules were ridiculous.
Did you follow their rules? - Not always.
When it rained, we watched my soaps together.
And of course she got sweets. Love them. Especially my halva.
You had an office job for years, didn't you?
Yes, with an insurance company.
Golden there rules? - Naturally.
Did you adhere to that? - That was my job.
Precisely. Their nanny follows the rules, but you don't.
You were not an employee either, but a grandmother.
If you were an employee, you would have been fired immediately...
for your disrespect for their rules.
No more questions, Your Honor.
That was harsh, but I agree with you.
Mrs Shirazi's claim is baseless. I reject him.
Mrs Shirazi is not entitled to compensation.
However, I do urge that the breach be repaired...
for the sake of the child.
Suspended.
That was chilly, bro. - Thank you very much, Mr. Svensson.
Justice has prevailed. - I'll send my bill.
Don't pay me in gift baskets.
You have to arrange dinner yourself tonight.
Your father and I are going sailing on Gabby Lipton's yacht.
You didn't talk to Gabby anymore, did you? - That was last week.
Poor Veronica. I can't imagine how she feels.
No? - Time to go, beauty.
When I found out your dad was cheating with Daniel's mom...
I was furious with her.
But then I got mad at the right person.
Remember when I set fire to your Alfa Romeo?
But too good. - Day.
Wait, honey.
What is she doing here?
She wants to see Chip one more time.
Then she goes back to Sumach Creek...
and you never have to see her again.
Chip, I just wanted to say that despite my grief, I...
pray for your full recovery.
I try to focus on the good memories.
Like the beautiful poem you wrote for me on our wedding day.
'Her skin is so soft and clean, her neck so long and slender.
Her hair smells like apple pie.
She's my special girl, I'm not lying.'
Veronica, maybe you're mad at the wrong person?
When he said he was at a conference in Florida...
Yes, he was with me in Honolulu.
Oh my God. In June I lost my diamond earrings.
My birthday is in June. He gave me this one.
Did he write a poem about your vagina?
"He's vagi-tastic"?
I have good news. Mr Crombie is awake.
Veronica, honey.
Jeanie, honey.
Abigail, honey... What?
Oh Chip. I'm so glad you're still alive.
Because it would be disappointing if I couldn't leave you.
Me, too. - Hire a good lawyer.
And you don't get this one.
You. You did this.
Enough drivel. You underestimate yourself.
You did this all by yourself.
You were great tonight. Your right hook?
Who would have thought that? - I can take a shower first.
Maggie. - Who am I speaking to?
With Kelly, Lucy's girlfriend.
Can I have Lucy for a minute? - She wants nothing to do with you.
Do not contact her again.
"He's vagi-tastic." -No.
"The stunning beauty of your naked ass."
Marry me, Chip.
And what makes me especially happy? The twin sisters on your chest.'
The perfect ending.
It would be less fun if he were dead.
Is not that...
I know what you need.
It must be here.
Finished? - Finished.
