I have a brilliant barrel select Pinot Noir
that I think you'll both love.
Oh, mmm, fab! Let's-- let's do that.
Yeah?
DES: I have some brochures in the truck
- if you wanna walk me out? - Sure.
DES: Thank you so much, Victoria,
and I will see you tomorrow.
- Night. - Good night.
LINDSAY: Right this way, Des.
Um...
I think we need more wine.
Sorry, I... hope this wasn't too awkward.
No. No, it was not awkward at all.
No.
It was a little bit awkward.
We're okay?
- We're good. - Okay.
Okay, he used to wear headgear
and now he could talk me into a Ponzi scheme.
What a glow-up.
[phone rings]
Oh, work.
Hey, Kyle.
What?!
No, I-I-- I would never have done--
Everything okay?
No, no. No, no, no, no.
Listen, you have to give me another chance.
But these are my clients. You can't do this.
VICTORIA: What happened? What's wrong?
Kyle said that he found some errors
in some recent report filings, but I triple-check everything.
At least I-I thought I did.
He says it's over.
I'm off the case.
♪
Lindsay!
Lindsay...
[knock on door]
Come in!
Darby, hi.
Um, I just wanted to say goodbye.
Oh, goodbye?
What for?
Well, if I'm not on the case, then there's no threat, right?
But we never found out who was behind it.
Yeah, well, it doesn't matter anymore.
[sighs]
Sometimes you don't have that much power.
It's funny, but I really thought
this case was gonna make my career.
You know, sometimes I find you really intimidating.
What?
You're always in control and so put together and smart.
It's inspiring and terrifying, simultaneously.
But right now, you're neither of those things.
Excuse me?
The Lindsay that I know wouldn't take this lying down.
She would fight!
What can I even do?
Someone has been trying to get you off this case
the entire time.
Are you just gonna let them win?
No!
I have worked so hard for that firm.
Mm-hm?
And this would be my first mistake.
I mean, it's completely unfair.
Yes, exactly!
And Kyle could've stood up for me more.
Mm-hm.
You know, Ian overheard him complaining
that he had to give "the woman" the position over his nephew.
Ugh!
Do you think Kyle's punishing me for that?
I don't know, but we're gonna find out.
We're gonna get you your case back
so that you can make partner in that nasty little boys club
and defend the evil mining company.
The Spencer Sisters have a perfect track record so far,
and we are not about to give that up.
Well...
Don't love the word "evil," but...
thank you.
DARBY: So here's what we know, Kyle.
Someone left a USB key full of creepy photos of Lindsay
taped under a park bench.
VICTORIA: Right next to the Ascend Climbing Gym,
of which you are a member.
Wait, hold on...
You think I did this to my own employee?
Well, why not?
Sine you felt pressured to hire her.
Pressured?
I was never pressured into hiring Lindsay.
Who told you that?
VICTORIA: Ian told Lindsay that you wanted
to hire your nephew instead.
Ezra? [scoffs]
Well, yes, he interviewed.
But it was just a formality to satisfy my brother.
Ezra, bless him, wants to be an actor.
What about kicking Lindsay off the team
because of her mistake?
Lindsay left the most important witness off the testimony list.
We wouldn't have been able to call him at trial.
Also, she was supposed to file for Comparative Negligence,
but she wrote "Criminal Negligence."
Hmm! If Ian hadn't caught it,
we would have ended up in criminal court.
Wait a minute-- you said Ian gave you this?
VICTORIA: Ian!
DARBY: Hi!
So sad about Lindsay.
VICTORIA: Mm.
The case won't be the same without her.
No, but it's better for you, right?
A high-profile case like this,
that puts you next in line for partner, doesn't it?
Oh, no, no, no, I'm--
I'm just stepping in for the client.
And, of course, to honour Lindsay's great work.
KYLE: She did do great work.
But Victoria spotted something funny
about the error pages you found.
VICTORIA: It seems like they were printed
on a different printer than the rest of Lindsay's documents.
So?
There are printers all over this place.
VICTORIA: Which is why we got a log from IT
for every computer that ran printing jobs last week.
And according to the log, you printed six image files
the day before the photos were put in Lindsay's mailbox.
- Yeah, those were for the case. - Oh.
Well, we also found a receipt from a toy store
in your most recent expense report.
Maybe for the doll that went through Lindsay's window?
This is ridiculous!
DARBY: And you tried to frame your boss by planting a USB key
on a bench near his climbing gym.
IAN: I don't know what you're talking about.
VICTORIA: Yeah, it seems like that.
But you know what? I'd like to connect the dots
for you, because... here.
See these?
These are caused when something like dust
sticks to the printer drum and the toner builds up.
It happens to my home printer all the time.
So?
DARBY: So, the error pages were printed from the same printer
as the surveillance shots.
The splotches are a perfect match.
Look at that!
VICTORIA: I've got a great idea!
Let's print something from your printer.
Kyle, you want to do the honours?
Of course.
IAN: I...
Sure.
[printer noises]
DARBY: Hmm!
[tense music]
Wow, look at that.
An exact match.
Crazy!
Admit it, Ian.
This is my case.
It's my turn!
But no, I'm relegated to second chair.
And "work husband"?
Do you have any idea how demeaning that is?
You're asking a woman if she knows how it feels
to be demeaned at work?
Hmph!
I can't believe it.
Sometimes it's hard to see the guilt in people you work with.
BRUCE: What is going on?
- Was that Ian? - Bruce!
KYLE: I'm so sorry, something's come up.
We need to delay.
LINDSAY: There's no delay!
I'm back.
I've had some time to reflect
and I think I know the best way forward for everyone.
Right this way, Mr. Reddix.
Nancy. Kinsey.
- Oh my God, hi! - Hi!
♪
aramount.
Mr. Moore and the other plaintiffs
will be generously compensated, and their demand
for greater occupational health and safety will be met.
Onyx Point will set up additional workplace safeguards
and partner with local hospitals
to ensure regular employee health and wellness checks.
These changes will be immediate across--
VICTORIA: Well!
Another Spencer case solved!
And Lindsay looks happy, so... that's great.
Wow, you look nice!
Oh, thanks! Date night.
Your hair, hon... It's not good.
- No, no, no, don't-- - It's really not.
- Oh, no! - Look, come here.
- Over here, over here. - Oh...
This one. There we go.
- There we go! - Thanks.
So you want to tell me how you're really doing?
I'm fine!
You have a tell when you're hiding your emotions.
You say, [tensely] "I'm fine!"
Good detective work.
Yeah.
You want me to be honest about my feelings?
I still have some for Lucas,
but he's with Lindsay now and they're getting married,
so I have to be a grown-up.
Happy?
Only when you are.
[doorbell rings]
Don't worry, I am going out for a drink with Billy.
Okay, good.
♪
Thanks, Mom.

DES: I wasn't sure what you'd like,
so I got us a little bit of everything.
Har gow, siu mai, some custard buns...
I'd keep going, but I assume
you're gonna interrupt me right about... now.
Now?
Okay, I have to be honest with you.
- Okay. - I may be a bit of a mess.
Don't worry, we've got plenty of napkins.
Uh, no, I mean...
[sighs]
You may be able to tell based on how distracted
I've seemed for the past few days.
I, um...
I just don't think I'm...
quite ready for a relationship.
Okay, uh, who said anything about a relationship?
Oh! I thought--
No, no, no. No, no, I-I love--
Look, I love that you're thinking about my feelings.
But, you know, we're just
starting to get to know each other, so...
you know, let's... let's take the pressure off!
Okay!
Yeah, take things one dumpling at a time.
- Yeah? - I can do that.
- Okay. - Thanks.
- You're welcome. - Um...
But if you didn't bring egg tarts, it's over.
Oh.
I brought egg tarts.
[giggling]
- Pass me those. - Yeah.
