Previously on Family Law. You're my book club. Maggie is the one who's pregnant

and alone, and she needs us more than you do.

Cordelia.

Harrison. She predates your mother. My dad and I are going to take a year off

and backpack around the world.

Can you sign this? What is this?

40 under 40. This is for the city's most promising.

Dad's never going to see me as a real partner. Is that it?

Mr. Spencer.

Yes, your honor.

40 under 40. I'm in. Yes!

Fuck it, Dad!

Since when do you have a phone?

Dad loaned me his old one and I think I'm still getting his text.

Who's Felicity?

Tell me again you weren't going to sleep with her, Frank. I can't do that. Why

do you think you agreed to meet with this woman? Because everything was easy

with Felicity and everything with her is hard.

But I don't want to be anybody's hard, Frank.

Let's hope for her.

Let's go over it one more time.

Your mother and I have something we need to discuss with you. First of all, we

love you both very much.

And then you're going to say that we'll always be their parents.

And we'll always be there for them?

Mm -hmm.

After we've broken the news, we'll ask if they have any questions.

Lucy says the most important thing is that we're a united front.

Obviously.

Oh, I don't know if today is the best day for this.

Sophia is foul right now.

Fowl is in so much her mood as it is her default.

We can't put this off forever.

Your mother and I have something we need to discuss with you. You're getting

divorced.

Yes.

We love you both so much.

And we'll always, always be there for you.

Obviously, this isn't your fault.

Even though it's a change, your lives will largely be the same.

Same schools, same friends, same homes.

Why can't you guys just talk it out like you tell me and Sophie to do when we're

fighting?

Things aren't always that straightforward, kiddo.

I think we'll be a better family.

Apart.

And I respect your mother's decision.

Do you have any questions?

Can we stop talking now?

I respect your mother's decision.

What the hell was that? You threw me under the bus again.

I didn't know what to say. That's why we wrote a script.

Why did you say same home? Are you suggesting I live with my mother

This is our house, bought largely with my money. Abby, you aren't in the

driver's seat here. What does that mean? Just means, technically, I still have

sole custody. I can't believe you're still lording this over my head. I'm

Okay.

We need to get all of this in writing, just so everything is crystal clear.

Agreed. I'll draft us a separation agreement, okay?

Okay.

I miss her too, Cecil.

Harry would like a word with you in his office.

Hi. How'd it go?

Awful.

The kids barely said anything, and then Frank went rogue and basically told them

the divorce was my idea.

What an idiot.

I'm going to draft up a separation agreement today.

Yourself?

Frank's a family lawyer, and I do a pretty good impression of one.

Shouldn't be that complicated.

A lawyer who represents herself has a fool for a client.

It's a little early for proverbs.

Abigail, would you give me the honor of representing you in your divorce?

Thank you for the offer, but Sophia and Nico...

For some inexplicable reason.

Adore you.

I don't want to have to explain to them why their grandpa is going after their

dad in court.

Well, if you're refusing the best, you should at least hire the second best.

Cordelia Bernstein.

I don't need a lawyer.

You're not telling him, are you?

I wanted to tell him.

Telling him what?

I got 40 under 40.

Yeah, that was totally next on the agenda.

Did you?

Accolading. Good for the firm. Way to go, Danny.

Thank you.

The temp asked me to tell you that your client's in the boardroom.

My husband hired a divorce lawyer.

And you need representation.

No, I don't want a divorce, please.

Unfortunately, if your husband wants to end the marriage, there's really nothing

you can do about that.

If I get divorced, I'll be deported. We've only been married two months. It's

not long enough.

Uh, Carolina, where did you and your husband meet?

Online.

International Brides.

As in mail order?

He ordered me from a catalog.

You can't prove it, uh -oh.

You got nothing legit, uh -oh.

The glove don't fit, uh -oh.

You got it with quit, uh -oh.

The charges won't stick, cause 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.

Jim and I exchanged thousands of messages on this site. Over how long?

A year. When he proposed on Messenger, I was so happy.

So you never met him in person until... I arrived at the airport.

Why did you sign up for an international marriage agency?

I am considered a spinster back home.

You?

I was so excited to start a new life with my modern Canadian man.

But?

But when I arrived here, I discovered that he does not want a modern wife.

He wants a servant.

I... Tries to be patient, but every time I stand up to him, he threatens to

deport me, and now he wants a divorce.

After two years of marriage, you'd be eligible for independent Canadian

citizenship. You couldn't be deported. Two months of marriage under your belt,

plus the obligatory one -year separation, plus the snail's pace of the

system, plus a couple of holdups by us if necessary, will get you to two years

no problem.

Steph, Caroline's husband wants an annulment.

What's the difference?

It means the marriage will be canceled.

No divorce process needed, no year of separation.

Can he do that?

Only if his lawyer can prove immigration fraud.

If Jim can prove you married him for the purpose of acquiring Canadian

citizenship... Of course I married for citizenship.

But I also married for love. In all likelihood, Jim's lawyer is advising him

seek an annulment instead of a divorce so he can avoid being financially

responsible for you.

I don't care about the money.

I just want to stay in Canada.

All right, let's try to get Jim and his lawyer in here this afternoon.

We'll negotiate a deal that allows you to stay in Canada in exchange for a

waiving support.

Your orders are online, and now he wants to return them, like a T -shirt from

Amazon. I don't want to see our client deported, but let's face it, she is

him to stay in the country.

Um, he's using her, too.

Carolina is gorgeous.

Did you see their wedding photo? Jim is, like, free at best.

So? So, a three can't land a ten without bringing something to the table.

Spoken with the cynicism of someone with a marriage on the brink.

Be nice.

How is it any different than all the hot young women who come into the firm with

dull old rich guys as bartering assets?

Never mind the fact that she probably doesn't know a single soul here.

Like she has no money of her own, no resources, and things turn sour. He

all the cards.

Okay. Okay.

Points all taken.

Oh, my God. Did you get headshots done?

No. Oh, it's a professional photo for his stellar single dating profile.

One of those furrowed brow jackets swung over the shoulder numbers.

Give me back my phone. Daniel S., law firm partner.

Iron Man competitor.

Oh, oh, 40 under 40. Didn't waste any time getting that on the old bio, did

Give me my phone. Abigail, give your brother his phone back.

How can you judge Karolinka for using a marriage service when you're shopping

for dates on an app? Because I'm not paying to meet women.

Mail -order marriages are gilded prostitution.

You're expecting to find love with a checklist.

Preach. Danielle came exactly as advertised, and that still fell apart.

I don't want to hear it. All of your relationships, except for Jerry's, have

crashed and burned no matter how you met your partners.

The temp asked me to tell you Harry's 2 o 'clock appointment just arrived.

Why didn't she do it herself?

She said she's shy.

Excuse me.

Our client requires a prenuptial clause that Tezza remain at her target weight

for the duration of the marriage.

A scaling clause?

A commitment to follow the body mass index guidelines.

It's ludicrous.

Ash and Tezza are social media moguls. These two understand their lifestyle

channel is a business.

Video is a visual medium.

We'll concede to it.

We will?

On the condition that your client gets rid of the mustache.

It's for November.

June. My client is raising awareness for prostate cancer. Men's expert is one of

our sponsors.

It makes you look like the kind of man they warn children about.

That's objective.

My client suffers stash rash.

Video is visual.

As you said.

Fine, but we'll need Tezza to refrain from wearing colors on camera that are

uncomplimentary to my client's skin tone. You want to control my color

Last time you were yellow, our followers flooded the comment section asking if

I'm jaundiced.

Our client is willing to waive her right to spousal support if Jim withdraws his

annulment petition.

No can do. My client wishes to terminate the marriage.

And he can by filing for an uncontested divorce.

Jim and Karolinka can begin their legal separation.

Effective immediately.

For all intents and purposes, they'll be divorced.

The paperwork will catch up with them in less than two years. Jim saves money.

Kara Lincoln won't be deported. Everybody wins.

Do we have a deal?

No deal. You scammed me. How did I scam you?

You said you were in love with me.

I was in love.

With the man on the computer.

You aren't the man you said you were. You said you were traditional. You don't

hardly cook or clean. I am not your maid.

Spend all day eating cinnamon hearts, watching soap operas. I'm learning

English. Hold up in the spare room all night on the phone with your brother. I

miss my family, okay? All right, everyone. No.

He said he has a home. It's a trailer home.

I am a hostage there. He won't give me a key. Why would I give you a key when

you have nowhere to go?

He said he's going to take me out for fancy dinners.

I took you to Swiss Shelly. Hold on, time.

Fancy dinners are for wives.

Wives are supposed to perform marital duties.

Wives perform marital duties when they're in the mood, pal. And something

me being threatened with deportation isn't a turn -on. Has the marriage been

consummated?

Yes. A few times when she first arrived.

Now she grimaces every time I come near her like a reek or something. Your

client misrepresented herself. She conned my client for residency status.

story. We won't be withdrawing the annulment petition.

Karolinka, do you have records of your correspondence with Jim?

It was all done through International Brides. The account's closed now.

I'll draft up an order for production of documents.

So your clients buy brides.

I'm not a fimp, Miss Bianchi.

What's the business model?

International brides charge a nominal fee to facilitate messages.

Define nominal.

Eight dollars.

Eight dollars per message. So if you have thousands and thousands of

well done.

Jim and Carolina text a lot about the beautiful babies they're going to make

together. Yes. For many women to build a family with a strong provider is a

fairy tale.

A fairy tale right up until your husband files for an annulment two months into

the marriage and you're facing deportation. I'm saddened by this news,

sometimes marriages don't work out. You know damn well that immigration status

is used by husbands as a way of controlling their mail -order bride.

We don't use that term, leaving them vulnerable to abuse, which is a human

rights violation.

I personally do criminal checks on all my clients.

You cater to incels.

You Western women are so...

Cavalier about your romantic ideals.

In many, many cultures, it goes marriage, then love.

I was a male order bride.

I came with nothing from Mumbai.

I've been married 40 years now.

I have a loving husband, three beautiful children, and a thriving business in

Canada.

Is your marriage ideal?

I only wish for my clients to find the same happiness I did.

Not all wishes come true, I guess.

Luce.

Hey.

You want to go paddle boarding tonight?

I'd love to, but my board's in Maggie's.

So go get it.

I was trying to give her some space.

Look, even if you're the one who's in the doghouse, you're still entitled to

access your stuff.

Go to the apartment and get your things already.

There you go, pal.

Got your favorite banana cream.

I'm not hungry.

Do you want to talk about it?

I know this is hard.

Why are you doing it then?

That would still let you move into the basement if you want.

I can't do that, honey.

Why not?

You did a bad thing, and Dad did a bad thing, so why can't it just be Ethan?

Mom, please.

It's more complicated than that.

How?

These are adult problems.

Why do adults always say that?

Stop treating me like I don't understand things.

Nico. Mom, you don't even care.

I care about this family more than anything in the whole world. You didn't

try.

What happened to you?

I went for a spontaneous swim.

Done.

Congratulations.

Proud of you, sweetheart, for taking the next step.

So, when are you going to start dating?

Seriously? I just hit send on my separation agreement literally seven

ago. Perfect time to clean out the pipes.

I cannot fathom getting my pipes cleaned at this juncture.

Anyway, I wouldn't know how to go about getting a date if I tried.

It's easy. I'll show you. Look.

Jesus, Mom.

How many dating apps are you on?

Different apps for different needs.

I'll help you craft a rebound profile.

No. This case we're working on has killed any possibility of me ever

love online.

You're no fun.

What about you?

What about me? Let's sign you up, get you laid.

I'm not doing anything that jeopardizes my chances of getting Maggie back.

Are you trying to get Maggie back? I've seen no indication of that.

I guess I'm scared that if I make contact, it'll trigger the divorce

At least... If I do nothing, we're still technically together?

Well, if Maggie hasn't reached out either, maybe she's thinking the same

Hmm?

Maralinka?

I can't go back.

My parents are counting on me to send money and sponsor my sister and...

You okay?

I've been so nauseous and lightheaded the last few days.

From all the stress, I guess.

Stall.

Where are you going?

A drugstore.

I cannot wait to be wrapped up in your big, strong arms.

I cannot wait for you to fill my hole

In my heart.

I want to grow old with you. Well, this will surely make good fodder for your

romance novel, Mr.

Svensson. Do you mind telling me what relevance it has to the case?

I'm getting there.

Apologies, Your Honor.

There's been a new development.

I'm pregnant.

How do I know it's mine?

Of course it's yours.

Who else could it be? Your Honor, surely this is a stall tactic.

Well, whatever it is, you're going to need to deal with this somewhere else.

This is a courtroom, not the Maury Povich show.

My client's not going to pay child support for someone else's kid.

How could it be somebody else's kid?

You don't let me go anywhere.

We're going to need a paternity test.

The only way to get one with the baby in utero is through amniocentesis, which

poses a risk of miscarriage.

I don't want to take that risk.

Neither do I.

I've got a little dreamy in my belly.

Let's hold off on the annulment. You realize this means you will have full

financial responsibility to Karolinka if you get divorced.

If we get divorced.

So, now you're with child.

Do you feel different about me or whatever?

We'll be a family forever.

And now I have to learn how to cook and clean.

I'll be a mother.

Seeing as my client created their YouTube channel, she should obviously

it in the event of divorce.

Except my client secured most of their lucrative sponsorships and built the

of their following.

Our subs came for your wardrobe tip, but they stayed for my wardrobe

malfunction.

Malfunctions that would be a lot less tantalizing if I didn't light that

butt within an inch of its length.

Excuse me? I think we're done for today.

Let's pick this up tomorrow, shall we?

Can I hashtag your firm?

No. Suit yourself.

We have 2 .3 million followers with a median income of 200K.

Oh, second thought. Go ahead.

Use our hashtag thingy.

Are you going to drink that?

I don't really do carbonation. Can I have it?

I already took a sip.

They stopped serving them, and I need all the bubbly alcohols to get me

this pretentious blank fest.

Oh, you actually care about this?

It's good for business.

That's what my staff said when they nominated me.

Martina.

Daniel.

Stellar singles, huh?

Do you mind? It's kind of private.

It's private. You probably shouldn't be on the app, but I'm eating brie.

Touché.

Are you writing her a novella? Are you reading over my shoulder? I want to make

sure we're compatible before we meet up so we don't waste each other's time.

How efficient.

God forbid you share a meal with someone who doesn't turn out to be your future

wife.

All right.

What do you suggest?

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Just ask her if she wants to meet up.

Elise.

Hi.

I'm here to pick up my stuff.

I think I got most of it.

I can help you carry the paddleboard.

Where's Maggie?

She's gone out.

When will she be back?

When you're not here.

Sorry you threw a thing now.

You know I don't do labels, Lucy.

Found this?

For the cause?

Bless you.

Oh, thanks for the advice on the message. We're having dinner at Jardin.

Oh.

What?

Not a good choice?

Bit stuffy for a first date.

Where do you suggest?

Water.

It's new.

Locally sourced. Chef's got buzz.

Okay.

Thanks for the tip.

Why aren't you in your office?

The painters are in it.

I see you representing yourself is working out well. Moving along, Harry.

The temp asked me to tell you that Carol Link is here.

Why are you doing her job?

She said you make her nervous.

Jim says he's going to get me deported again.

What? Why? What changed?

He's been recording all my phone calls back home.

That's deplorable.

What are you wearing?

Only my panties.

Should I take them off?

Yes. You like that?

Yes. You want that?

Yes. You want more?

Yes. Yes. Oh, God. Yes.

Let's make... I'm starting to think maybe she wasn't actually talking to her

brother. Jelly from your donut.

My husband is a disgusting pig.

It makes me sick to look at him.

I can't believe I wasted $10 ,000 on you. Objection. This recording is from

yesterday. It has no relevance on whether she entered the marriage in good

faith. She was clearly involved with this man the whole time. She's luring my

client with messages she probably didn't even write herself.

You're all gold diggers. All right, enough.

I'm going to have to take this new development into consideration.

Let's resume tomorrow at two.

Hi.

Nico insisted on stopping by on our way home from school.

I'm glad.

I'm here to see Grandpa.

Oh.

Okay.

He's just finishing up on a call, but I've let him know you're here.

Thank you.

Perhaps you and I could discuss your revisions on my revisions.

Privately. Sure.

Nico, why don't you get caught up with your Uncle Daniel while you wait for

Grandpa to be ready?

Hi, Uncle Daniel.

So, good book?

Yeah. It's part of a series.

Right.

Nicole, Harry's ready for you.

Thank you.

Bye, Uncle Daniel. Bye.

Do my favorite grandson want to check on how his investment portfolio is doing?

I've been thinking we should get you into media stocks.

Have you heard about my mom and dad?

I have.

Sit.

In your professional opinion,

What are the chances they'll get back together?

Statistically speaking, it's unlikely.

I wish I never had brought Dad's stupid cell phone to that stupid sleepover.

I don't even like that kid.

Your parents aren't getting divorced because of the cell phone incident.

Yeah, they are.

No offense, but you aren't that powerful.

Nothing you did or do in the future can change the outcome of this.

The whole family is going to be okay.

Happier, even.

This is the hard part.

Cheers.

How you doing?

Lousy.

Not as lousy as Caroline is going to feel tomorrow.

Barring miracle, we're losing this case.

I'm racking my brains for a new angle, but I think we're out of moves.

Hey, can I get a ride home?

Home?

It's home now.

Why are you still getting a bazillion notifications from that dating app?

you have a date tomorrow night?

I'm not going to find my soulmate on the first match.

Dating is a numbers game.

Hey, do you remember when Jim said to Karolinka, you're all gold diggers?

Odd that it was Burl.

Has Jim ever ordered any other mail order brides?

That would be confidential information. I don't have time to get a court order,

Aparna. Karolinka will probably be deported next week.

Divorced and pregnant.

I didn't know she was pregnant.

So if there's anything you know that can help her cause, now would be the time

to disclose.

I'm going to the washroom now.

Please don't look at this computer while I'm gone.

There is confidential information here.

Jim, what inspired you to look for love abroad?

Girls from overseas are more likely to be unspoiled, I guess.

Unspoiled by what? They haven't been brainwashed by all that radical feminist

stuff.

You seem like you're a real connoisseur of foreign ladies.

Objection.

Badgering. Sustained.

How many mail -order brides have you purchased?

Objection. Prejudicial phrasing. He hasn't purchased anyone. He's in an

arranged marriage.

Rephrase the question.

How many times have you used the services of the International Brides

Two. Three, in fact, but that's okay.

Math's not everyone's strong suit.

Jim returned a mail -order bride prior to Karolinka and has already put a

deposit down on a new bride in anticipation of his wife's deportation.

So what?

Karolinka isn't my first wife.

What was your first wife's name?

Lona. Lona. And Lona was deported, correct?

Because the marriage didn't work out.

Hmm. Why didn't it work out? She didn't honor her marriage vows. Which marriage

vows? To love, cherish, and obey.

Except to obey was removed from standardized church marriage vows in

before either Karolinka or Lona were born.

I didn't mean obey like that. Just that the wife should follow the...

Like, let me take care of her.

And if a wife doesn't want to follow, she gets deported?

Objection. Withdrawn.

Your Honor, Jim has been treating this marriage like a shirt you buy without

trying it on first, knowing full well you'll probably return it.

Women aren't commodities that can be returned to the manufacturer.

People don't come with an exchange policy.

He is the one who didn't enter this union in good faith. We appeal to you,

not annul this marriage.

Although the sentiment was eloquently expressed, and I find this man's actions

both repugnant and immoral, they are not illegal.

Therefore, I must grant the requested annulment.

I suggest... Your client get a good immigration lawyer.

Okay.

Thanks.

The immigration lawyer says there's really only one way to keep her in the

country. She'll need a job offer through the Federal Skilled Worker Program.

Requires special skills.

I don't have special skills.

I don't have any skills.

We should get to see your family.

My family will be furious with me. My father is already ashamed that his

daughter is a...

Male or the bride. I doubt he'll let me back in the house.

What about your boyfriend?

My ex -boyfriend won't raise another man's baby.

Oh, God.

This is worse than if I never left.

Oh, he's going to pray. I don't think so.

Stay with Karolinka. I'll contact you as soon as I can.

I found another way you can help Karolinka stay.

Give her a job.

I wish I could, but it's impossible.

No?

Maybe you'd rather I told immigration that you withheld information about

marital history, which is a breach of your fiduciary duty to Karolinka.

She was relying on you to provide accurate information, and you knowingly

her. I volunteered that information to help you. You can't hold it against me.

She can't legally work in Canada.

I'll take care of that part.

Fine.

She can start... Monday.

No bread for the table.

Fish baked with oil, not butter.

Sub the rice for extra veg. Soft on the side and easy on the salt.

So nice to go out on a date with another disciplined eater.

It is.

So, you said you're a lawyer?

Fleischmann and Topher.

And you?

Spence, Spence, Spence.

In your profile, it says you're a road biker.

I am.

Have you done the triple crown?

I have.

Unfortunately, the chef can't accommodate your culinary requests.

Can't or won't? Sorry, won't. Really?

Fine. We'll eat at a restaurant run by a chef who will.

Hello?

What?

Well, can it wait? I'm on a date.

Okay, I'll be right over.

Sorry to do this.

I have to go.

My friend is having an emergency.

Oh, no.

Do you want to reschedule?

I'll have to get back to you. Things at work are...

Super busy right now.

Hey, 40 Under 40.

I hear you have some issues with my menu.

Your favorite restaurant in town is your own.

You would have known that if you asked me any questions at that 40 Under 40

thing.

So, where'd your date go?

She had some kind of emergency.

Ah, you got emergency calls.

What's that?

Move yourself over to the bar. I'll explain it to you.

What do you think of this, Cordelia?

All the track changes. Get it away.

It felt in my eyes.

I think Frank is using the negotiations to put off ending the marriage.

I think you might be, too.

No, I'm not.

There's a word for ending a marriage.

It's called divorce.

And you're not saying it.

We were a perfect match on paper.

Are we back to this again?

I just don't get it.

Paper doesn't account for a pheromone.

Think of all the classic couples who never would have met if they left up to

online dating matches.

Elizabeth Bennett would have swiped left.

Mr. Darcy.

And what about Beauty and the Beast?

You think I would have swiped right on a giant water buffalo?

Well, that was basically bestiality, but still.

Gets your point.

What's in this?

Hand -seared ribeye medallions with a mushroom peppercorn sauce.

Served with potatoes cooked in white truffle butter topped with Gruyere tea.

So every single item on my do -not -eat list.

Plus fresh herbs.

Okay.

Wow.

This is going to give me gasp. For what? We need to normalize farting.

So, I guess the question is, what do you really want?

I want off.

hamster wheel of drama with frank laying out the same shit over and over again

well as long as you two are duking this out on your own you're doomed to repeat

the same relationship patterns as long as we're doing that i feel like i can

never move on well if frank doesn't want a divorce he'll drag this out as long

as he can the fighting is a form of intimacy in itself what do you advise

Well, for starters, any lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a

That's what Harry said.

He's right.

I understand you two go way back.

We were at law school together.

Just as peers, or...? Nobody likes the gossip, Abigail.

Sounds like Nina's having a pretty good time in Tokyo.

Yes, she sent me a postcard, too.

That was last night.

Great.

Stellar singles algorithm for the win.

No, the date was a but, but... The night was great.

Oh, Karolinka.

I had a chance to watch your YouTube channel yesterday.

You only just watched yesterday.

I understand your specialties are fitness and fashion.

But as far as I can see, your following has been built on your relationship.

Aw.

Hashtag relationship goals.

We're aspirational. A fairy tale.

Exactly. My point.

Fairy tales historically have happily ever afters.

Where are you going with this?

Their followers don't want to see these two delightful humans divorce.

For that reason, I propose that if your marriage ends, so does your shared

channel.

It is a legitimate consideration that your social media careers might not

survive a divorce.

I don't ever want a divorce. Neither do I, baby. Well, then let's never get one.

And if we know that we're going to be together forever, what's the point of a

prenup? There's literally zero point. Literally zero.

Ussy? Ussy!

I guess that means ussy? Oh, okay.

Hashtag fairy tale.

I give them a year, Tops.

Without that prenup?

I look forward to seeing you in court.

They hashtag us.

I'm bald beauty.

Silver Fox.

Hi, nerd.

Someone has been eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Engelbert!

I've missed you so much.

Thank you, Mom.

You're welcome, kiddo.

I wanted you to know that I hired a lawyer.

Seriously? Cordelia Bernstein.

You hired the flamethrower.

Mom, come on!

Just in case you wanted to get one too.

I'm glad you got your paddleboard back.

How'd it go?

What's that?

It's from a new friend.

I would be the man to be

the one to walk away.
