Madeline Matlock. I'm a lawyer, like the old TV show. Most of what you know

about me is based in truth, but it's also a lie. Good evening, Mrs. Kingston.

Who the hell are you? I wasn't like this before your firm protected the

pharmaceutical company that killed my daughter. You love me. I do. You and I

have to find a way to work together despite our trust issues to bring down

seniors. The partisan charger in New York? Eva!

I thought it was a good time to assess the king's court. Does this involve

unseating the king?

A coup.

What's going on, Dad? We were trying to get into Belvin's... files last night.

What were you looking for, son?

You've been staring at me all morning and now you're following me into

Maddie wasn't conspiring with Belden. I went after a 76 -year -old grandmother,

your friend. What is wrong with me? Nothing's wrong with you. I just crushed

Julian in a way that feels lasting. I lied, but you're a liar. I will not do

that again if we move forward with our friendship.

I don't know if I can.

You really hurt me, Maddie, and I need to protect myself.

Morning. Bought you a coffee.

Hi, Miss Lawrence.

Morning. Hey, Maddie. How's the plant doing?

Oh, it's growing bigger every day, like your son.

A little late. Oh, big game this weekend.

Prayers up.

Prayers up?

Prayers can work wonders.

Oh, it's just an expression. Me and the big guy parted ways a long time ago.

Some relationships are worth fighting for.

Maybe you'll find your way back to each other.

That feels like the cops driving by.

Are you an every Sunday Christian or a Christmas Easter Christian?

I'm a talk -about -work -at -work Christian.

It's a slow day, so let's strategize. We need to get Deborah Palmer's NDA and

find out what it covers.

Did you look through the archived World Brexit Index again? Yes, it's definitely

not in the system.

So Senior likely keeps a hard copy at his home office, which means to get our

hands on it, I have to get in there. And are you listening?

The nuns are back.

Hi, sisters.

Eva. Didn't know you were in New York. I came for a little personal matter and

stopped by to see my favorite ladies.

Turns out they could use some legal help.

Oh.

Didn't realize you were so devout. The sisters helped me with my Catholic guilt

after my divorce.

Showed them senior's wardrobe and they agreed I deserve special dispensation.

Hi, Maddie.

Ah, have we met? No, I researched Olympia's team.

Loved your hardscrabble story. Super relatable.

But to jury, not me. I come from money. Oh, good to know. Good to have.

So listen, my nuns run a ministry for the unhoused and the neighbors are

us think about it. So I was hoping you'd go to the zoning board meeting with

them today. Shut the neighbors down.

Maybe you'll fast pass the pearly gates.

Have Billy and Sarah talk to the sisters. I'll find you after to discuss

other case.

It's time. The quarterly meeting is in six weeks, and I want to call a vote to

our senior.

What are your numbers?

Miami and DC are locked.

Chicago and Dallas are senior country. New York decides it. Out of 40 partners,

we need 21 to pull off the coup.

I know 10 that will say yes if approached, but...

Not by me. Agreed. You're poison here.

I shouldn't even be singing with you. We've got cover with the nuns. What do

think?

You want to deprive the devil?

When you hear a higher calling, you have to answer it.

What started out as a little soup kitchen blossomed into meals and hot

and job training.

Blossomed? You talk like you're in The Sound of Music.

Oh, Benny, stop picking on me. The point is, we help out a lot, and the

community was into it. But then came the artisanal pickle shop and the oat milk

espresso bar.

The gentrifiers attended like a plague of locusts with Kansas tote bags.

All right, we're all God's children. Even the locusts with the tote bags.

Sorry, I had to keep my phone on because, well,

I'm having a baby. How far along is your wife?

Four months.

But, uh...

Not my wife. Although I did propose, but she said no, so... Anyway, I am going

to propose.

Again.

You are?

Yeah, but when I think about getting down on one knee, I just go back to the

moment she said no.

Then take your time to heal.

But remember, marriage comes with perks.

By which I mean tax incentives.

Listen to her. She does all of our accounting.

Oh, for Lord's sake, don't use A .I.

The whole point is to connect with your father.

Listen, I've got to get back to work. Bye.

Joey wrote Alfie from rehab, and he's stressed over what to write back. Eva's

ready to stage the coup at the next quarterly meeting.

If I can secure the votes needed from New York.

Well, what are you thinking?

That if Senior's gone, we'd be able to access so much more of Wilbrexa.

But if the coup fails... Kit, if you aim for the king, you'd better not miss.

Zoning. Yeah, fascinating little nook of the law.

Just research for Olympia, sir.

Oh, call me senior.

Like meeting your parents.

Oh, Gary's not actually... Well, your dad said you were ambitious.

Well, Dad never lies. Good.

Because I need a favor.

Anything.

Senior? I think my son is plotting to poach clients when he leaves.

But I want to be sure.

So I need pictures of his date book for the last six months.

Can I trust you to handle this discreetly?

Well, is there a conflict?

Because I work for Olympia.

Ambitious lawyer like you knows that the good of the firm always comes first.

Next issue before the board, matter number 25 -1346 regarding the convent

perpetual hope.

I'm sorry for whatever it was that made you lose your faith.

It must have been terribly painful.

Death of my child.

The hardest to explain.

One can only say.

God is nearer the brokenhearted, restores the crushed in spirit.

Yeah.

Didn't feel him there.

And yet you survived the unimaginable.

You think he left you?

I think he left you standing.

Put the right people in your path so you didn't remain broken forever.

All right, let's begin.

Esteemed board members, I come before you on behalf of a coalition of

neighbors. Allowing a zoning variance sets dangerous precedent. What happens

when a developer requests the same accommodation?

Studio apartments turn into bunk bed hostels? In 2012, the convent provided

shelter for Sandy evacuees. In 2020, the convent housed nurses brought in to

tackle the pandemic. Last summer, when it was too hot for the Cub Scouts to

sleep outside, they slept in the church.

And I don't recall any slippery slope objections to those uses. We're not

talking about Cub Scouts.

When the nuns opened their shelter, vandalism and property crime started

As they did citywide, correlation is not causing it. And I have multiple studies

showing that the addition of homeless shelters lowers property values.

60 years ago, if someone who looked like me moved into the neighborhood, you'd

hear that same argument. It is based on prejudice, not on facts.

What is a fact?

Is that 770 unhoused New Yorkers died last year from extreme heat and cold

temperatures, from a lack of access to medical care, from malnutrition. What

these nuns are doing shouldn't be restricted.

It should be celebrated.

We won?

Praise be.

Yep, my headache is better. Just doing some backup research.

I'll meet you downstairs. One of the sisters left their Mardi Gras beads in

conference room.

Sarah, fund your rosary.

Wait here with Billy.

Maddie will grab your client and take paperwork.

Eva wants an answer.

Take away the title, you take away Senior's power.

And once he's gone, the loyalty dries up and he's not here to guard the

evidence. And our case just opens right up. I know.

But supporting the vote and rallying all the other partners together are two

different things.

I have a lot to lose, personally and professionally.

Well, that's why I should be the tip of the spear.

You know, the other partners won't see Maddie Matlocka coming.

And if I'm caught, then you'd be out.

I'd be at Jacob's Amore alone, flying solo on our mission.

I trust you.

And also, have faith.

Yes, I do.

Look, I read your letter.

I want...

To give back to our friendship.

But I don't know if I can.

I'll focus on what?

Hello? Whoa, Sister Louise, slow down.

What?

There's some sort of raid happening at the church.

What? Why?

No, it's not that I don't think being a corporate compliance liaison is

important. Hey, Julian!

Enough hours in the day. Wait, Julian!

Sorry, I... Holy

crap!

Help! I'm walking home and I just saw a man run into the church. I think he has

a gun.

Nice job shaking the 911 call loose. Well, having a family full of cops has

benefits. And that call was definitely a hoax. Maddie, Sarah, and I canvassed

everyone in or near the church.

No one saw anyone with a gun. Well, I just got a heads -up from opposing

that the neighbors are filing a civil suit.

What? On what basis?

Something to do with whatever they found in the raid.

We still need the seizure log. My sisters are all over it. But cop

nun sisters.

Although nun sisters are working on it, too, through prayer.

How are they holding up with all the neighborhood hostility?

Practicing forgiveness and encouraging me to do the same with Kalalia during

pre -K -9 counseling sessions.

Well, how's that going?

I can forgive, but forgetting is difficult.

Claudia really crushed me, and she wants to move forward like nothing ever

happened. Easier said than done, trust me. I get it. Thanks. I know she doesn't

mean to pressure me, but... I'm sure Claudia would go back and do things

differently if she could. Yeah, that's what she says, but... It still happened,

and forgiveness can't be rushed.

Welcome back.

Brought you breakfast.

Oh, I told you in the hospital, no need.

And I told you in the hospital, it's the least I can do since I almost killed

you.

Uh, hey, let me... No, no, I got... No. Look, I got, I got... Here.

This task violates, like, six ADA guidelines.

Let me reorganize it for you. I'm all good here, but I do have to make a phone

call, so could you... Okay.

I'll check in with you later.

Bye.

Olympia, help.

Sarah is overbearing, she is annoying, and she's... Right in front of me.

Got it.

Sarah, walk with me. Sure, where? Anywhere. Coffee.

Fine, yes.

Want to fire up the mentorship again?

TBD, but... Here's some mentor advice.

Give Julian some space, like we talked about, in the ER and the hospital

cafeteria.

It's just hard.

Look, can I be frank?

Have you ever not been? Oh, yeah. I go back all the time.

I just... I feel so badly for Julian.

His life is in the toilet.

You divorced him and then trounced him in a partner race. His dad demoted him,

and then he goes all death becomes you down the lobby stairs.

I can't catch a break, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do know.

So maybe you could help me help him? Hey, boss.

I found the contents of the raid. You're going to want to take a look.

Drugs. Specifically, heroin and six dozen hypodermics.

And we think we know why it was found in the church. We believe the neighborhood

coalition planted the drugs after losing with the zoning board. Then they called

911, said they saw a gun, knowing the cops would respond immediately.

A way to bolster their public nuisance lawsuit.

What is it?

The neighbors didn't plant the heroin or the needles.

2018, we were finding people dead felt like nearly every day on park benches,

a pew. We started stalking Narcan.

Narcan's a lifesaver.

What about the needles?

One night, this girl came in.

shaking track marks on the edge of withdrawal.

We had a zero -tolerance policy, but it was freezing, eight inches of snow.

Well, she was terrified she'd take a hot shot and never wake up. So we sat with

her, and she was so grateful.

Talked about the time she'd been robbed, assaulted, while she was high on the

streets. So now only when asked, we provide clean needles, alcohol wipes,

safe injection site.

There is a name for this practice.

Harm reduction.

There's no such thing.

You know how people get clean?

They lose the things they love.

The practice reduces overdose deaths by 50%. Reducing overdoses is not the same

as getting clean.

It's a temporary reprieve on a journey that leads to the same destination.

Addicts end up in jail, sober, or dead.

Regardless of any personal opinion, the Neighborhood Coalition's lawsuit just

got teeth.

Are you willing to give up the practice?

We can't walk away from those in need.

Then we go to trial and defend you under our lupa. Show that harm reduction is

an exercise of your religion. And prove there's no compelling governmental

interest in shutting it down.

I think that you should sit this one out.

No.

I want to be here.

It's like Billy said.

Forgiveness is slow and steady work.

You keep showing up, even if it's tough.

Copy date still on?

Yeah, I'm heading there next. Great.

Hey, can you talk to Sarah yet? Because I got texts from her offering to do my

homework and carry my book back.

Look, she just wants to help. I don't need help.

You kind of do.

You know the kids are calling you sad dad.

I know. They spelled it in stickers on my bathroom mirror.

Sarah can't fix what's wrong with my life.

Agreed. You're stuck.

You've lost your confidence and you've become a shell of yourself.

Well, thanks for the pep talk.

You should look into motivational speaking.

Straight talk?

You want that to change? Start practicing the law.

That's what you're good at. I'll remind you my father had me hand over all my

cases. Then get new ones.

So when you leave, Jacob, some more. You have some heat behind you. Use Sarah as

the gasoline.

When she works off a little guilt, you show them you're still hungry.

Pour some sugar on me.

Maddie, we meet again. Third time this week.

Well, God works in mysterious ways, Rob.

How's your class action?

Still a circus?

Yep, and I'm still the guy pushing the broom behind the elephant.

Well, somebody's got to pay for the company, Jet.

How else would senior make tea time at St.

Andrew's?

Oops, sorry.

Just with all those whispers out of Miami, I'm a little riled up.

What whispers?

You haven't heard?

Oh, Lord.

I'm always picking out a turn.

That's one of my gee darn worst habits.

Maddie, wait.

I don't want to get in trouble.

I shouldn't upset anything.

This stays between the two of us.

Just tell me what you've heard.

So I told Rob that Sonia Levy was talking to you and Vince Miller about

Miami office initiating some sort of coup.

Now, I told him you'd never entertain it, but Vince seemed interested.

That explains why I saw Rob and Vince talking in the law library this

Good work. Great.

Who's our next vote?

An email from his dad, not a vote.

I was thinking about targeting Felicia Spencer in the middle of a pricey

divorce. I thought I'd get her going with no count, low down, cheat next,

and then wind her up without the downturn and bonus projections.

What?

I wasn't saying anything.

We discussed this.

It's not fair for you to ask me to lie, and they get mad at me for doing it. I

can't control how I feel. Well, this is how I get things done. I know. Well,

what else do you need from me?

Time. I need time.

No problem.

Harm reduction.

Since you're arguing religious freedom, can you point me to a single verse in

this book that says it's okay to help people inject heroin?

Well, we could certainly look at Micah 6 .8, Ezekiel 34 .4, Jeremiah 30

.17. Heroin. Where in the Bible does it say... Objection. Asked and answered.

None of those verses are about addicts shooting up.

Overruled. You may answer.

Jesus explicitly stated that his followers were to provide support to the

And those that didn't would be cast into eternal flame.

The DSM -5, that's the Bible of sorts to doctors, lists

substance use disorder as a health condition.

So our ministry to addicts is not just in line with Christ's teachings. It's

compelled by them.

Interesting interpretation.

And interpretation is key here, isn't it?

I asked your own archdiocese for an advisory opinion.

Would you please read the highlighted section?

Cooperation in drug abuse is a grave offense against moral law.

If your own church considers your program a grave offense, then how can

claim it's an exercise of religious beliefs?

What time is it in Italy?

You are calm.

Adversity rolls over you like waves in the ocean.

Your patience is endless.

Oh, damn it. Oh, it's you. I'm sorry, darling. I thought it was your

grandfather. So that's a no on the British lady? No, I hate her.

Let's try the Australian dude.

Okay. And another email from Joey. That's 12 days in a row.

Wow, I like that he's being so consistent.

How's the British lady working out?

Not a match.

It's Olympia. Remember, patience.

Hi there, Olympia.

Grace Tan?

That's fantastic.

And I hope you're enjoying your time that I'm giving you, because I'm not.

She'd already hung up. Oh.

Well, that's our last vote for the coup.

Next, I get to go and watch Olympia defend harm reduction in court and to

Catholic Church.

Oh, Vatican group text.

Kidding. Delta found my luggage.

So you were saying?

Got a hearing set for canon court.

What are the chances of them overturning to our studies?

If I can convince them that supporting the sinner is different than encouraging

the sin, we got a shot.

Well, if anyone can do it, you can, Pat.

I mean, Father.

Sorry. Still so weird to think of you as anything other than... Cutthroat

Cassidy. Hangman Patty. I had a long list of nicknames in my former life. I

going to say the partner who coached me through my first Albert hearing.

Never forget when you told me you were leaving.

Well, 20 years working for the devil, I figured I'd give God a try.

Oh, from the devil now?

I didn't think he'd be back after that big Jerry Maguire exit. Happy to pop by

for a case consult or a quick exorcism? Well, put in a word for me with the big

guy, Cassidy.

Don't worry.

He's heard all about you.

Be careful of the company you keep.

This guy, Eva?

Not working with Eva. Working with nuns.

You told me a long time ago to always say yes when the higher -ups ask for a

favor.

Hmm.

Senior was in my office.

Bad news.

Kent Dodson left the Miami office for Lamar and Olsen.

Which means we are down a vote.

Oh, no.

Oh, yeah. I spent the last week shaking trees in other offices, but there's no

one left to approach.

Can you get one more in New York?

Honestly, I don't know if I can.

Honestly, the presentation is incredible.

I'm going to land in Cognity Solutions as a client.

And I am totally excited about that, even though the company is going to

eliminate my job in two years. Reason I always sweet -talk my Alexa.

Gotta stay on good terms with the bots before the robot uprising.

Exactly! Why does no one else here understand that? I've been sucking up to

for the last six years.

You're not meeting in Cognity here, are you?

You don't find my office impressive?

I mean... I'm going to them.

And yes, to your next question, you can come while we're meeting and reorganize

my office.

Unless you are replaced by, then, by the robot.

Even robots can't color code like I can.

You look how I feel, son.

You okay?

Oh, I'm just trying to get this doc review done for the priest, lawyer,

guy. Ready for court?

Yeah, ready, boss.

We'll meet you at the elevator. Yeah.

We lost a vote.

Somehow we have to find another.

It's a huge problem.

Trust me, I didn't want to have to organize against a convent.

I'm a Christian.

My kids are in the Christmas pageant.

And what changed your mind?

August 17th.

I was outside with my first grader. Is that when you took this video?

Yes.

I thought it was random, but now I know that they are condoning this behavior,

attracting users.

Your Honor, this is deliberately inflammatory.

I move for an immediate protective order placing this exhibit under seal. On

what grounds? This is what's happening. Harm reduction isn't gentle hymns.

Quiet prayers?

It's overdoses. It's blood and vomit and needles. It's addicts flying into

violent rages because Narcan ripped away their high.

This is what it looks like.

Are you okay?

Seeing that?

Watching that?

No, I'm not. Which is why I told you to stay home. Well, clearly I should have.

And I don't know why I didn't.

Actually, that's not true.

It's my own addiction.

To fixing this.

Alyssa.

We need some space.

Let's call it harm reduction.

The Archdiocese is evicting us?

They referenced the video and the two New York Letter articles about the O .D.

in front of the church.

I'm appealing to the church's highest court, the Roman Rota, but they're more

likely to agree to hear the case if you win the civil suit.

And the civil suit needs the church's sign -off.

Quite the artisanal pickle.

We just have to push forward when we present our case this week and focus on

the good works you do for the community.

We had to shut down the soup kitchen. Nobody can get through. Now they're

actually keeping you from feeding people? Forgive them, Father, for they

not what they do.

You're really not angry?

We reserve our anger for the likes of Katy Perry.

They're letting fear lead instead of love.

And if we don't forgive them, we're doing the same thing.

Where's Maddie, by the way?

Sure. is a power grabber. But he's trying to land you a deal, so he might

vote to oust Senior because it'll make the firm seem unstable.

What do you think?

I think if this week at home is going to extend to two weeks, you should help

out with some meal prep.

But... And don't do that thing where you pretend that you're incompetent, I get

frustrated, and then I do the whole thing myself.

I appreciate how you see me.

Partners for life, baby.

Okay.

Schultz versus Slasky. Coached the wrong person. We're busted.

What do you think?

I think you might want to reach out to Olympia. Who knows these people? She's

working on the case. I'm working on the coup.

We're giving each other space.

Everyone benefits from a little space.

Okay.

I don't remember you being in my way when we were home in San Francisco.

Well, that's because Alfie was small and I was busy with him. The great thing is

we have time to make a decision on whom to approach and then we can have a real

debate. Would you like to help me fold while we debate?

Yeah, got it.

To fold the laundry, you must approach the laundry.

Oh, Edwin.

What? Albie's been keeping something from us.

Hey. Hi.

I thought you lived for incognity.

First order of business?

Go digital.

Incognity pushed the meeting until tomorrow, and, uh, I can't.

It's stupid, but...

Growing up, I'd come to the office once in a while to visit my dad. He kept a

date book just like this.

Always themed full of the most important things in the world. So, bought my

first one the day I graduated law school.

So, aren't you going to ask me why they pushed the meeting until tomorrow?

Why did they push the meeting until tomorrow?

Because...

They want their whole executive committee to be there when they sign

Jacobson Moore.

Really? Oh, really.

Sarah, activate robot dance mode.

Y2K, execute funkiness.

No way I'm doing that. Join in or face our wrath.

So,

um, will you... Sort out the contracts for filing?

Beep boop. Yep.

That. And come with me to build the relationship.

Incognity will be lucky to have a lawyer like you one day.

Me? I'll be moving on from Jacobson Moore at some point.

And given my father's no poaching policy, I'm not taking them with me. So

make sure they get to know you.

Grabbing the kids from basketball. We'll call you at bedtime.

FYI, introducing a new name. No longer Sad Dad, going with Rad Dad.

You got incognito? Mm -hmm. Can I have Sarah back?

You can.

Nunn K's still tough going?

Saw the ledger articles.

I've got addiction experts and a boatload of studies, but their side was

visceral. I can't figure out how to sway you most in our way.

Maddie's still out of the office?

Sarah said Maddie's mom was an alcoholic.

She's sensitive to addiction issues. Is that true?

It is, yeah.

But that's not the whole truth, right?

It's my fault.

Bringing up the fact that Maddie took the photos from Mrs. Belvin's office, it

damaged trust between you two.

She should have been honest with me. True, but friends aren't soldiers.

Straight talk.

You are your father's daughter.

Your father's apologizing for not writing last week, but you showed us the

emails. I wrote them.

I didn't want you to think he messed up because you said he has to get it all

perfect.

Darling, he's allowed to make normal life kind of mistakes.

He only has to be perfect in his sobriety.

Oh, that's Olympia. She reached out.

Probably wants to talk about the coup.

Okay. I need to say something.

You lied to me for a year, so I'm allowed to be mad for a year if I want.

Because trust is important to me. And if what you said in your letter is true

about our friendship, then prove it and help me win this case. Even if it's hard

for you. Because forgiveness is hard. And if you say you want to earn it, then

put in the work to earn it. Well, if you'd stop talking for a second, I could

say yes.

Come on.

We need to counter the idea that by providing care, the nuns are endangering

community. What about Lasky?

To help with the nuns?

Well, Lasky went on vacation with Senior in 2012, and he doesn't like him now,

but I'm worried about residual loyalty.

Okay.

So what if you argue that if Alyssa's overdose happened in the church...

No child could have seen it from the playground. That won't counteract the

in the mind of the judge.

Or the fact that a child saw.

No, it won't. But this is someone's child, too. We have to get the judge to

that and to understand that there are no good options.

Say you're Alyssa, and you grow up.

Oh, I mean, holy hell. If this isn't divine intervention.

Look at her prior address.

It's right by the church.

The nuns didn't bring danger into the community.

Alyssa is the community. We need Alyssa to testify.

But how do we find her?

Well, you've come to the right person.

Well, what's the really good news?

Julian definitely isn't poaching clients, so whatever you heard is just a

Well, thank you for sharing your opinion, which I did not ask for.

What I did ask for were photos of my son's date book.

Did you get that?

No, I didn't. So it's not really good news.

You have some food?

Water? Yeah.

Thanks. So, Melissa Lombardi.

Alyssa Lombardi. You said you knew her?

I haven't seen her in a while, but I ever knew her.

Sorry. That guy has been following me. I know him. He's bad news.

Can we talk in your car, do you think?

Yeah. Get in.

Somewhere we should go?

The Comet.

Sometimes I go there, but all the protesters shut it down.

I'm sorry. I have to. No, no, no. Not here.

Yeah, okay.

Take my phone.

Text Alyssa. Why? You gotta go.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Let me get out. Give me my phone. No, don't.

I have to do this. I'll come back. Stay in the car.

I have to.

I understand.

Stay in the car.

Text the list.

My father was a

military man. I think you know that.

We used to move every three years or so.

New base, new school, new friends.

He used to tell me that I was his little soldier.

Tough.

He'll take the good ones with you.

He also said that if anyone betrays you, move on.

I even cut my own mother off.

So this trusting Maddie, it runs deep. Real deep.

Move past it so that I don't keep losing the things that are most important to

me

Are you sure you can do this?

I can do this.

Alyssa, is that you overdosing in this video?

It is, yeah.

When did your addiction start?

14.

By the time I was 17, my parents had thrown me out.

Where were you living before they kicked you out?

60th and Putnam.

Two blocks from the combat.

So you were brought up in the neighborhood.

I was.

What brought you back?

I had been living in Philly, struggling. I thought being closer to home would

help.

Let's talk about the day of your overdose.

I had been sober two months, so my tolerance was lower.

I used the old amount.

That's what happened to me.

I was sober, and I slipped, and my tolerance was lower.

If I had been in the park, I'd be dead.

But I was near the convent.

And Sister Benny came out with Narcan.

There was no one there for me.

And was that your last time using?

No.

But I'm back in recovery now.

And I'm going to try again.

I got another chance to try again.

Another chance?

To see my son grow up?

And my parents grow old?

To sing karaoke?

I get another chance to do it all differently.

Now, if we are really worried about public safety, what could be a bigger

than stopping a program that is saving community members' lives?

I got the photos you asked for.

Good job.

I was beginning to think all that talk about ambition was just hot air.

You can go.

Thank you.

Hi. Hey.

Baby's kicking like crazy. Yeah? Yeah. Look.

Knows I'm excited.

Because I was talking to my mom, and I had a revelation.

Billy, I don't care about getting married.

Seriously. It's caused both of us so much stress and pain, and I have faith

us, married or not married.

Connie, I do want us to get married.

Oh, thank God.

We're always meant to be.

Well, I've been told by those in the know that God puts the right people

you so you don't stay broken forever.

Just give it to a straight.

The judge issued her a ruling.

She found Alyssa's testimony compelling, but safety concerns outweighed it. The

harm reduction part of your program will be shut down, but your homeless

outreach can continue. And the church backed off eviction as long as there's

drug use on church property.

Sometimes his signs are clear.

The Lord called us to minister to those on the streets.

It seems to be the moment to take our ministry to the streets.

What does that mean? We'll leave the convent in the capable hands of our

sisters. You're leaving the church?

Matthew 18, 20.

Jesus said, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, There am I

in the midst of them.

And look at that. One, two, three of us.

Well, sisterhood is a powerful thing.

It sure is.

Well, we should let the others know.

So, did you talk to Alfie?

Yeah. I told him his father doesn't have to be perfect in his sobriety. He just

has to be committing to trying.

Look at that mountain moving.

The Teva calling about the coup.

We just don't have that last vote.

About that.

I'm just trying to get this doc review done for the priest -lawyer -emeritus

guy.

Partners for life, baby.

Well, we should let the others know.

And I should get to the airport, sisters. Thank you, Father.

One last question, Father.

How would you feel about a good Old Testament smiting?

Cassidy still has partner emeritus status.

Partners emeriti still retain voting power.

He's our last vote?

Said it was his God -given duty.

So, we're really doing this?

Prayer's up.

Amen, sister.
