- No, don't stop on my account.
- I...

I dropped something.

That's my floor.

I'm Nolan. Nolan Adams.

I know who you are.
Third year, right?

Yeah. I watched you make Will
Emerson cry on the stand.

Mm. Telling the truth
made him very sad.

Mm, the forged signature,
to argue unjust enrichment,

that was clever.

I'm Martina Garretti.

First year. Well, you must be
first year... you're not mean yet.

Donovan Stark

wants to see me.

Show-off.

Hi, Cyndi.

I... I
tried to stop her.

Excuse me?

Before I left for London,

I taped a cheat sheet
with my network passwords here.

This used to be my office.

Well...

Now it's my office,

and, uh, those are my files.

I started here a month ago.

I'm Martina.

Riley Prescott.

You know we have to share Cyndi.

I do. By now you'd think they'd
let me have my own assistant.

Martina,

Donovan wants to see you.

I got it.

Martina Garretti.

We're about to expand
your repertoire

with a new civil case.

You two know each other?

- We just met.
- Pretty well, yeah.

I've been getting Nolan up to speed
on your new client, Penelope Hewitt.

Her family's been with
the firm for 25 years,

and I'd like
to keep it that way.

Penelope's a surrogate
who wants to keep the baby.

Well, sounds like a
straightforward contracts case.

Except our client's
a surrogate for her sister.

And her sister's in a coma.

That's all.

It's okay.

Do good work.

And how'd she end up in a coma?

Uh, carbon monoxide leak
in the wine cellar.

Conference
room at 5:00.

Hey, I am still trying to put
things back together in there.

And your mom called.

Ah, I need a separate line
just for my family.

They do fill up your
voice mail.

- I was joking.
- Do you know that

your mother is the only
Garretti that I Haven't met?

That can't be true.
What, they've all been here?

- I've only been here a month.
- Mm-hmm.

When do the cousins
start calling?

Martina Garretti's office.

Yes, she is, one moment please.

It's your sister.
Older one,

you want me to transfer?

Deb,
I'm running into a meeting.

Joseph doesn't want cake tonight.
He says they're for babies.

Since when did truning ten mean
you're too old fro cake.

I ordered cupcakes at the bakery,
but I can't go pick them up.

- I'll do it for you.
- Thanks

Peanut butter cupcakes.
Did you ever.

- I'll see you tonight.
- Don't be late.

If my sister could

She would fight for my
custody of this baby.

This surrogacy contract
was between me and her.

- It was also with her husband.
- Barely.

Emma... that's my sister...
wanted a child so much,

but IVF didn't work.

It was Emma and I who
came up with the idea

for me to be the surrogate.

Mason, her husband,
he just went along with it.

You know, "happy
wife, happy life."

- But his names on the contract.
- And that's our problem,

not yours, Penelope.

So... what now?

Informed consent
is one approach.

Or unconscionability.

- "What's that?
- Unconscionability" means that

in order to fight this contract,
we have to establish

what's different,
now that Emma is incapacitated.

For starters, your sister,

obviously, she won't be able
to participate in...

Parenting.

Ever.

She'll never hold her baby.

I'm so sorry, Penelope.

Surrogacy cases
are emotionally charged.

Judges are subconsciously

more sympathetic to women
who argue on behalf

of the birth mother,
so Martina...

Is going to do most
of the questioning in court.

I have two sisters.

Already, the older one
called with an assignment

for tonight's family dinner.

It was seven weeks ago,
but it feels like years

since I've heard Emma's voice.

I miss her.

She'd started making this
scrapbook for the baby.

I just keep looking
at it.

Penelope, tell me about
Emma's husband Mason.

Emma could have married
anyone she wanted...

But... Mason charmed her.

And...

he has adjusted
to a life of leisure.

He's not a bad person...

- But... he wouldn't make a good parent?
- He's lined up

around-the-clock nannies here
and at their house in Paris.

That sounds responsible.

My sister's passport
expired last year.

Paris was the last
thing in her mind.

She never wanted him
to take the baby away.

Mason can't give this baby
the life that Emma dreamed of.

I can.

Then we have
to make sure you do.

Bye Penelope.

So, why don't we capitalize
on the emotions of the case

by claiming that Mason was
staffing out the parenting.

Parenting that Penelope
could do better.

We'll also need to chronicle

the comatose sister's
emotional intent.

I'll get the scrapbook
Penelope said Emma made.

Okay, and you know, she's
gonna have to remain flexible

to alternative arrangements.
She says she's open

to shared custody as long as
Mason stays in New York.

Okay.

Oh, what about the
actual contract?

Uh, she presented the agreement
to Mason and Emma

in Philadelphia, and
then they brought

the agreement back here
to New York to sign.

Legally, if half the parties
agree to a contract

in a state that
doesn't recognize surrogacies,

then the argument can be made that
the contract is void.

But only if we can prove
that Emma and Mason

signed the contract in New York.

Right.

Calm down?

Robby, don't drop

- Yes, just calm down.

Honey, no one is dead or hurt.

My tree is dead, mom.
It's gone.

It got apple crab.

It would've torn up
the lawn and ruined

the other trees...
I had to cut it down.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because he knew
you'd freak out.

- Thank you.
- Albert!

It was poisoned.

The Clarksons have been
complaining about it

since the day they moved in.

They poisoned it.

- I know it.
- What? I... no!

- Deb, you got to calm down.
- They killed my tree.

Why is it her tree,
Aunt Bonnie?

Because your grandma

You're running with the

use dimes as screwdrivers.

- What's your take on Nolan?

I don't go to parties

Well, he asked

Well, then he's rich and smart.

You know, I
don't think I've ever been

to a house like this...
Unless you count

trick-or-treating
in Montclair.

Penelope is waiting for you
in Emma's room.

Thank you... Lilla, right?

I keep house
for Mr. and, uh, Mrs. Burch.

Penelope says you've
helped her so much.

Oh, I wish I could do more.

Do you mind if I, uh, just...?

- Oh, no, go ahead.
- Thank you.

Knitting something for the baby?

Mm-hmm. It's a cardigan.

It's almost done.

You and Emma were close?

I think I miss her almost
as much as Penelope does.

- Almost.
- Lilla,

did you ever hear
Emma and Mason

- discussing the surrogacy contract?
- Oh...

I wish I had, but no, I didn't.

Hello.

Emma...

Martina's here.

She's ready
for her photographs.

This could be really important
for your case, Penelope.

Is it awkward

to come to your brother-in-law's
house when you're suing him?

On the issue of Emma's care,
Mason and I have no argument.

This is the best place for her.

She has around-the-clock medical
attention, very nice nurses.

But, uh, do you have to ask his
permission to come and see her?

Out of... courtesy, I let him
know when I'm coming over.

Could, uh, you talk to my family
about boundaries?

That's the day
we promised each other

we were gonna have this baby.

Where is that?

Here, in the wine cellar.

So the genesis of the agreement
was in New York?

Yeah.

Good, can use that.

That was last winter
at her house

on Marco Island in Florida.

She's so pretty, Penelope.

I think so, too.

She had just gotten back from
a couple of weeks on the island

when... the accident happened.

The first few days
in the hospital,

she still had a tan.

What was it like with Emma
before the accident?

When Penelope was here, Emma
almost always let me go early.

Those sisters liked
to cook together.

How often was that?

I don't know, um, twice a week.

They always had fun.

Emma could hardly wait
for that baby to be born.

What about Mason?

He ever talk about the baby?

Not to me.

Penelope, what's going on?

Oh, hello Mason.

I'll wait outside.

Mason Burch, Emma's husband.

Martina Garretti,
Stark & Rowan.

Oh.

Penelope didn't tell me
that she was bringing

her lawyer
into the house, so...

Oh, I've just finished.

I'm so sorry

about what your family's
going through, Mr. Burch.

You know it's not healthy
for Penelope or the baby

to be under stress.

We agree.

This seems like a situation
that we can resolve amicably.

She's open to something
with shared custody.

Well, why would I share custody

when she's not the parent?

I am.

Can I, uh, can I ask you
about the accident?

Yeah.

Where was Mason?

Playing golf.

Emma was digging out
from a few weeks

of solo vacationing in Florida.

She wanted to cook dnener;
I got the day off.

Not much of a day off
if you're here, right?

I'm responsible for all
the food in the house...

Planning, shopping,
and cooking.

I realized that afternoon
there probably wasn't

enough food in the fridge
for Emma to make dinner,

so I ran by the market
and dropped by.

Okay.

There was water boiling
on the stove,

so I knew someone was home.

The door to the wine cellar
was open.

- This one?
- Yeah.

Which was weird because
there are Bordeaux

down there older than me

and Mason is a nut about
temperature control

and all of that.

I found Emma in there.

She was unconscious, huh?

I called 911 and
I called Mason.

I didn't know it was
carbon monoxide.

The EMT told me,

if the cellar door
had closed behind her,

she would have been dead.

Hmm.

Cozy as a meat locker in there.

Did you see Mason
with his wife?

No.

But I see he's
ready for carpool.

When I was in the room,
he didn't touch Emma.

He didn't even look at her.

From what the cook said,
the sisters spent

more time together than
Emma and Mason did.

Maybe the honeymoon
ended a while ago.

Why do you say that?

Well, before the accident,

Emma was in Florida
for two weeks.

She comes home,
spends her first night

back at her sister's house,
then, the next morning,

Mason leaves early for
the rest of the day.

I mean, who does that?

People who don't have much
to say to each other.

Maybe the marriage hit
a rough patch,

but they didn't want
to let Penelope know

'cause they didn't want
to upset her.

Could be.

What else did the cook say?

The EMT guys were in
and out in five minutes,

and just as the ambulance
was pulling away with Emma,

Mason arrives.

He's a wreck; emotionally,
he's all over the place.

He comes right from
the golf course,

doesn't even take
off his spikes.

Then he goes up to his study,

leaves for the hospital
about a half an hour later.

What was he doing up there?

I'm here.

Let's begin
the contract hearings.

Counselors.

Your Honor, as argued
in our petition,

our client, Penelope Hewitt,

thought she was entering
into an agreement

with a happily married couple

who would raise
this child together.

If Emma Burch could speak,
she would say it was never

her intention to have her
husband raise this child alone.

Emma and I were happy.

We loved each other and
we were looking forward

to raising our child together.

Mr. Burch,

please sit down.

Your Honor, we would ask

that the court inquire

as to who the
Burches designated

as the child's guardian.

We designated her
sister Penelope.

Because you thought
she'd be a fit parent

for your child?

In the unlikely event

that the child lost
both of its real parents.

Because one of the
parties is no longer able

to execute her half of
the agreement, your Honor,

we'd argue that the contract
be voided, and what's more,

Mason Burch just gave
a ringing endorsement

to the parenting capabilities

of his sister-in-law.

Ms. Hewitt still resides
in Philadelphia?

Yes, your Honor. The
obstetrician is in Philadelphia?

Yes, your Honor.

And the lawyer who drew up
the surrogacy agreement...

She practices in Philadelphia?

Yes, your Honor,

but the surrogacy contract
was the culmination

of a lengthy
collaborative process

that occurred in New York,
where the Burches reside.

So, under that line
of thinking,

if they'd discussed
the surrogacy agreement

in Oslo,

Norwegian law would apply?

In 1992,

New York's legislature declared

surrogate parenting contracts

void and unenforceable.

As a matter of...

All good points,

except the interpretation
of this contract

is governed by

Pennsylvania law.

If you have any qualms with
the surrogacy agreement,

you should refile there.

Your Honor, if you'd let us cite
a similar case

filed in this courtroom
with a different outcome...

Counselor!

We're done here.

What does this mean?

It means Mason gets the baby

unless we come up
with a better plan.

He used the four corner rule
to kick the contract

back to a Pennsylvania court?

Yeah.

His Honor colors
between the lines, but Riv...

I sniffed around
Emma's Florida affairs.

She met with a divorce attorney

on Marco Island twice.

Eh, twice is more
than a consult. It's a plan.

Mason said in court that he
and Emma were very much in love,

so he's either lying

or he didn't know
that she wanted to divorce.

But Emma would
have told Penelope.

Not if she wanted to protect
her pregnant sister

from that stress.

The Florida attorney did say

he was waiting for
further word from Emma

- before taking any legal action.
- Which means,

I assume, filing
for divorce papers

that he'd drawn up for Emma.

Yep.

We should pursue
the divorce for her.

Speak up, please.

We should file to make Penelope
Emma's guardian.

That way,

Penelope can finish
what Emma started,

namely divorcing Mason.

A divorce will necessitate
a custody agreement

between the husband and wife.

Mason argued that he and Emma

are the only ones
entitled to custody,

so, at the very least,
partial custody

is a slam dunk,

and this will
at least force Mason

to live in this country.

I'll put together a subpoena
for discovery

related to communal
and individual property.

Martina, when is the baby due?

Three weeks.

We need to establish
a legal foothold

before Penelope has the baby.

Asking a court to remove

a newborn from a home requires

a much higher threshold
of proof

than getting a
contract thrown out.

Understood.

Hey.

I went door-to-door
and asked some questions.

Did you know the Clarksons made
oral threats

to dad about my tree?

Verbal threats.

They said they were going
to call a tree surgeon

if it kept dropping apples
on their driveway.

Who hates apples?

That's not really a threat.

And they had motive.

Joseph and Robby hit their car
with a soccer ball

the day they moved in.

No windows were broken,

no dents or anything,
and she screamed at them.

Give it, give it to me!

I'm on the phone!

Deb...

Now, here it is, six months
later, and they kill my tree.

Can you please try to remember
that mom and dad have to live

next door to the clarksons
for years to come?

Are you in or not?
'Cause I'm going to court.

Yeah, well, you don't have
enough to get on Judge Judy,

but I'll look into it
as soon I can.

Hey, uh,
who's the kids' guardian,

I mean, if anything should ever
happen to you and Bryan?

Bonnie.

Oh, well, uh,
not to make you feel guilty,

but if I ever have kids

and something happens to me,

then I want you
to be their guardian.

Come on, what are the chances

of either of those things
happening?

Okay, I got to go.

The Hewitt sisters are loaded.

Hundreds of millions of
dollars as far as I can tell.

How's the prenup?

Us suing him for divorce
is bound to make him nervous.

If Emma and Mason divorce
before seven years of marriage,

Mason only gets a small stipend.

How long they been married?

Five years.

It's the same if
she dies childless,

but if they have a child
together and Emma dies,

Mason becomes the executor
of the baby's trust.

This baby is his golden goose.

I wonder if there's
a little piece of him

that wishes Emma died
in that accident.

Hmm.

Do you know if, uh,
Cyndi's out to lunch or...?

No idea.

I'm trying to place a dog...
A foster dog.

He's a pit bull mix,
he's terribly fetching.

Very impressive that you find

time for volunteer work.
Well, I went

to boarding schools and I was
never allowed to have a pet,

so I'm paying it forward.

That's admirable.

It is.

Hey, how's your little
family law case going?

I'm starting to think
that it's more

than just a family law case.

Nolan said
investigators didn't find

anything suspicious
at the scene.

Investigators
have been wrong before.

Wasn't the husband away
from the house at the time?

If the wife is a victim
of a suspicious act in the home,

you always look at the husband.

The cops ruled it an accident.

You're the only one who
thinks it's suspicious.

For now.

Well, good luck with that.

Is Riley Prescott mean
to everybody,

or did I just get
my very own work frenemy?

She's just brutally honest.

Her dad's an ambassador
and her mom runs silicon valley,

so she never really had
to be nice to anyone,

I guess.

She takes some getting used to.

How much is some?

I'm not sure yet, and I've

worked for her for two years.

Here's the thing.

She gives sick Christmas gifts.

Ah.

Obviously I heart
you more than Riley.

Good.

For Christmas I'm gonna
get you a calculator.

- That's so sweet...
- Uh-huh.

That you even still think
they make those.

Rogel is asking
for a three-week continuance

for a European vacation
that he has planned.

He's trying
to run out the clock

until Penelope has the baby.

- What did Harrison say?
- Well, he said no.

He knows that Mason will have

a home field advantage
once he has the baby.

Mr. Adams?

Uh, yes, your Honor,
we would ask the court

to consider our petition for
guardianship over Emma Burch.

This is a surrogacy case!

We argue in our petition

that Emma Burch had intended
to divorce the defendant.

What? We submitted
a $20,000 retainer

allocated to a divorce lawyer

in Florida
to prepare the filing.

We ask that our client

be allowed to carry
out her sister's wishes.

This is ridiculous!

Let me read the petition,

and we will reconvene tomorrow.

This is good.

I want what's best
for this child.

You shouldn't be talking to
me without your attorney.

If you continue with this absurd
guardianship strategy,

we will reveal
what a train wreck

Penelope would be as a parent.

She'd make an incredible mother.

She has an alcohol problem.

She quit drinking 12 years ago.

A testament
to her strong character.

Once an addict,
always an addict.

Last year,
a romantic relationship ended

that sent her to a therapist.

So? And back onto
anti-depressants.

Oh, just try
selling that in court.

I bet judge Harrison's
on antidepressants.

She's almost 40.
She's 38.

She is thinking
that this is her last chance

to have a child,
even if it isn't hers.

You have no idea
what she's thinking.

She's a Hewitt!

She's spoiled!

Settlement discussions
aren't admissible in court,

so, right now, it's just you,
me and this soda machine,

and I think I
could sell Penelope

on a deal I've been
kicking around.

Okay. I'm listening.

As far as I can tell,

divorce would be
bad business for you.

You'd lose the house in
France, the ski lodge,

the brownstone.
I could go on.

I get your point.

I think I could get Penelope
to give it all to you.

And you could live in France.

If you give her the baby.

No, thank you.

Nolan, he did the math.

He was seriously
weighing my offer.

What parent considers
selling their child?

So, now we know.
Mason Burch has a price.

We can't let him get that baby.

You're a great lover of liberty?

I'm distantly related.

To the bill of rights?

No. To John Adams.

He's my great...

great, great...

Well, there's-there's
a lot of greats.

Shut the front door.

Okay, what is that in your hand?

Not so fast, Nolan Adams,
descendant of a forefather.

If you're going
to get so embarrassed,

why hang a framed copy of the
bill of rights in your office?

'Cause it's cool?

I'll buy that.

All right, focus, please.

Okay, so,
Mason just creeped me out

by the soda machine.

I think he's a guy
with an agenda.

So I started looking at the
days leading up to the accident.

- And?
- I think I have proof

that Mason knew Emma was
planning to divorce him.

Okay, why is that?

Emma purchased a last-minute
one-way ticket to Marco island.

The next day,

Mason sent a $1,000

floral arrangement from Ciara's
Flowers to their house.

- One thousand bucks!
- Hold on.

- That's the proof?
- Nolan,

I can't find one,
not one other time

in the past two years
when he bought her flowers.

- Yeah, why is that significant?
- 'Cause

it wasn't romantic.

It was damage control.

Like when my dad
empties the dishwasher.

And Mason said
his marriage was perfect.

- This cuts him down at the knees.
- Well, we don't know that.

Emma went to Florida and put the
divorce attorney on retainer.

Two weeks later, she came home,

and the next day,
she was nearly killed

by accidental
carbon monoxide poisoning.

Now you think
he tried to kill her?

I think we should be considering
the possibility.

And we have a legal argument

that he knew his wife wanted
to divorce him

based on the absence
of past flower deliveries?

And a lot of suspiciously
coincidental events.

Okay. I want to like it,
I really do,

but you're assuming

that flowers were his
attempt at reconciliation,

so unless we know
why he sent them...

Flowers have cards.

Hmm. Well, then,

you better get
our client down here,

because what you're talking
about is an attempted murder,

and that is a sea change
in our approach.

Way ahead of you.

Penelope, it's Martina.

We need you to come downtown.

Oh, I can't.

Why not?

I'm having a baby today.

Oh, wow. Congratulations.

Mason just won
home field advantage.

♪ ♪

- Hey. Mmm.
- Hey.

Mom said you had a
big hearing today.

How'd it go?

Okay. Uh, my client
went into labor,

so it's all up in the air.

Babies don't wait for anyone.

I came over
to hang your pot rack.

It'll take 20 minutes, tops.

It's pretty late for you, dad.

And there's no way
you came over

without another piece
of furniture from my room.

What's wrong?

Deb's tree wasn't sick.

And the neighbors
didn't poison it.

I yanked it out.

The roots were making the
deck's foundation buckle.

That deck is where I go after
dinner to get some quiet.

Where I smoke my cigars.

I built that deck.

What does ma say?

Ah, she was fine with it.

The kids were tracking apples

all over your mother's new
rug in the dining room.

And the yard looks good now.

I filled the hole,
put in some sod.

I should have told Deb
before I was going to do it.

It's the surprise that got her.

No, it wasn't the surprise.

Deb said that tree was planted
during her finest years.

Her finest years?

She was in diapers.

Yeah, but she was
an only child.

She got all the attention.

That tree was all
that was left of her Camelot.

I'm missing something.

A piece of furniture

that keeps us
from eating off the floor.

Hmm.

Look, we'll figure something out
with the tree, okay?

But whatever happens,
we both know

that you can't tell her
that you pulled it out.

Hey.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm just worried
about my client.

I'm a mess until I hear
it went okay.

This is the surrogate lady?

Who's she carrying the baby for?

Her sister...
who's in a coma.

A carbon monoxide leak
in the wine cellar.

Avoidable.

Some of these
contractors worry more

about the cosmetics
than the safety.

It's a sin.

Well, what would you have done
to prevent it?

Block the roof vent
for a few hours.

Then test the levels of carbon
monoxide inside the cellar.

Simple.

Two years ago, the Burchs' home

was Wall Street Journal's
"New York House of the Day."

I've lived in places
smaller than their shed.

That's a vent
jutting out of the roof,

probably from the wine cellar.

All right,
what am I looking for?

You're looking
for the possibility

that a man tried
to kill his wife.

A possibility?

You're asking me

to consider the possibility?

Yes, that a man tried
to kill his wife.

Mason jiggled

the humidifier pipe in the
cellar to create a small leak.

How do you know that?

Well...

Riv talked to the repairman

who came to the house
after the accident.

He found the small leak,
repaired it,

and verified that the leak

was the only source
of carbon monoxide.

I'm positing that Mason
created the leak himself.

A first year attorney
who's positing

a murder method.

And in the meantime,
where are we

on the custody issue
of the child?

That is the root of all of it...
Go... go on.

After Mason created the leak,
he went up on the roof

to block the vent to trap
the carbon monoxide down below.

All right, if there was
something on the roof,

wouldn't the investigators
have found it?

Yeah, well, police
responded to a 911 call,

but it wasn't
a murder investigation.

And it's still not.

So, there was no reason

for them to be on the roof.

Right.

Now, Mason knew
that Emma would want

her evening glass
of French chablis,

but according to the cook,

he finished off
a bottle the night before.

Mason knew she'd go down
to the cellar for another one.

And he was golfing.

He had a solid alibi.

Why hadn't we entertained

the possibility of this before?

'Cause in pursuing guardianship,

we got the financials
and the prenup.

Emma wanted out, and
Mason had a financial

incentive to stop her
from divorcing him.

He stood to gain the
most if she died.

I met Emma
when she was a young woman.

She had a very
kind way about her.

Very earnest.

Is Mason aware
the baby's been born?

I don't think so.

I told Penelope
not to tell Mason.

All right,
now we have a bit of time

before he realizes
we're on the defensive. Nolan,

you have to stall
at the guardianship hearing

without letting on
where Penelope is.

It's only misfeasance if you lie
to a direct question.

- Okay.
- I can try to

take a look at the vent
while Mason's in court.

Good. Go.

Hey, Riv?

I know the housekeeper.
Let me try.

I need you to work your
magic at the flower shop.

We need to see if Mason
knew Emma wanted a divorce.

Okay. I'll see
if I can get the message

- off the card he sent her.
- Okay.

Buenos días.

Buenos días.

I'm, uh... I'm not
here to buy flowers.

Well, we sell cards, too.

I got a problem.

My little sister... she's
involved with a married man.

Maybe she loves him.

Good girls fall in love, too.

Now, look, I know this is
a big favor to ask, but

can I just take a look

at the message that
this creep sent her?

I just want to see what kind
of lies he's promising her.

How do I know that your sister
isn't really your wife,

and you're just trying
to bust her for cheating?

Because if I had a wife,

she's never cheat on me.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

You just need...
The last three months.

Thank you.

- Oh.
- I mean it.

Here we go.

Here's a Burch.
Dedicated family man.

Bingo.

Oh, yes.
Way to go, Riv.

I can't let you in...
Mason's rules.

He's gonna take that baby
to Europe,

and you'll never see her again.

"Her"?

Penelope had a healthy baby
this morning, Lilla.

A little girl.

If Mason gets his way,

you'll never see the baby
in your sweater.

Please.

Let me help Penelope fight
for what Emma wanted.

Mr. Adams,

you may begin.

Your Honor,

guardianship is an
intricate proposal.

It is fraught with

implications for our society.

Emma asked Mason for a divorce

the day before the accident,
Lilla.

But he couldn't
let that happen,

'cause he'd lose millions...

Millions of dollars.

That's why he won't give
Penelope custody either.

He's not even in the hospital

right now. He's in court

fighting for the money
that comes with this baby girl.

But she's his baby, too, right?

He has no intention
of raising her.

He said he'll take her overseas,

far away from Penelope
and far away from you.

She'll be raised by nannies.

- What can I do?
- Your chef said

Mason went to his study
when the ambulance left.

I need to see it.

Okay.

Clearly, as advocates

of personal freedom,

we don't want to emulate

Plato by...

taking the concept
of guardianship too far.

- No, censorship cannot...
- Objection.

Your Honor, how much of the
court's time is Mr. Adams going

- to waste today?
- I agree. Mr. Adams,

this is the second time I have
ordered you to get to the point.

You need to wrap up
your argument

in the next minute.

Your Honor, while we're
at a stopping point,

where is
Mr. Adams' client?

Hmm?

Is this issue so
inconsequential to her

that she couldn't
even bother showing up?

- Where's your client, Mr. Adams?
- Um... she's um...

Your Honor, she is currently
at St. Lionel Hospital.

- Is she ill?
- No,

your Honor, she is not.

Then why is she there?

She gave birth.

This morning.

I want to go see my child!

Your Honor, I move this
petition for guardianship

be thrown out on the grounds
that Ms. Hewitt,

through her own attorneys,
has committed a fraud

upon this court. It's not our
job t-to apprise counsel

of our client's
medical condition.

And upon being asked
directly by the court,

your Honor,
we were forthcoming.

I do not appreciate

you wasting the court's time.
We ask for

an immediate recess
so that my client

can get his child
as soon as possible.

Granted.

Mr. Adams.

I'm not going to hold you
in contempt.

This time.

Thank you, your Honor.

Don't worry.
My Uncle's a roofer.

Cindy, I got something.

Tell Donovan
we need a search warrant

for the Burches' home
right away.

I got proof Mason Burch
tried to kill his wife.

I'm supposed to Skype
my 11-year-old grandson

in five minutes.

This better be more pressing

than your lecture
on guardianship.

It is, your Honor.

We have reason to believe
that Mason Burch

tried to kill his wife.

We need a search
warrant to preserve

the evidentiary
chain of custody.

So the surrogacy issue
becomes a divorce

and now you're saying
it might be attempted murder?

Yes, your Honor, but we
don't have a lot of time.

He is a flight risk.
We have reason to believe

that he could take his private plane,
fly the baby to the couples home in France.

And if that happens our client
has no recourse.

That's the one.
It's a match.

You were right.

Mr. Burch?
Can we talk to you?

Oh, I was just
coming to see you.

How's your case?

I ended up getting the
husband on attempted murder,

so it all worked out.

Congratulations.

But then again,
that's our job, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Actually, Nolan was first chair
on this,

so the win would go
in his column, don't you think?

Oh, it's the client's win.

Of course.

Oh, Riley, uh, before I forget,

they replaced the furniture
after you moved out,

so I'm afraid your list of passwords
is floating in the ether.

Oh, damn it.

Now I've got
to reset everything.

Hey, I had a lot
of fun working with you.

I hope we get to do it again.

Yeah, me, too.

Oh, they, uh,

pulled Mason's prints
off the roof vent.

So he's sunk.

- Yep.
- Okay.

Nolan?

I have a small confession
to make.

I have a history
with your famous relatives.

Really?

I applied for an Adams
scholarship in

my senior year in high school.

I didn't get it.

Let the record reflect,
I was robbed.

Okay, noted.

If it makes you feel any better,
so was I.

And my dad,

he blew through
my entire inheritance,

which is a
pretty rigoorous endeavor,

considering
how much money there was.

Oh.

Well then, I guess we're even.

Yeah.

See you later.

Thank you so much, Martina.

You're so welcome.

Every case should end
with a beautiful baby girl.

What are you going to name her?

Catherine.

It's Emma's middle name.

Catherine.

This is a gift certificate
for a tree to plant

in your backyard.

I don't want a new tree.

I want my tree.

I know, but that ship
has sailed.

This is called a settlement

because both sides
settle a little.

They should call it
a compromise.

In this agreement, the Clarksons
admit they poisoned the tree.

- I knew it!
- But this is the important bit.

The terms of the agreement

require you
to never mention it to them.

Yeah, right.
They can't silence me.

I have rights.

Legal documents, Deb.

If you confront them,
they can drag you

- into court for breach of contract.
- Big deal.

If I breach, I breach.

Deb, they can put a lien
on mom and dad's house.

You agreed to this?

Hon, they bought you a new tree.

They admitted guilt.
They apologized.

And the Clarksons live
next door to him, not you.

You asked me to get involved,
so I got it done.

But this is a contract
with legal consequences.

They want to move past
this misunderstanding

and be good neighbors.

What really happened?

The roots
were tearing up my deck.

I pulled it out.

I never knew how you felt
about that tree, Deborah.

You'd never put
mom and dad's house

at risk of me keeping
my mouth shut.

But thank you.

To go through all that,
it's sweet.

I guess I'll keep this then.

Come on, girls.

Come outside.
I want to show you something.

Real soil. Take a look.

What do you think?

- It looks good, dad.
- Thanks

So, I-I talked to Bryan.

You and Bonnie will both
take care of the kids

if anything happens to us.

Yes! I made varsity, dad.

You deserve it, kiddo.
Congratulations.
