Olympia gets caught up in the school mom environment at the twins’ school when a nanny for one of the other families, Nadira Freeman (Ashley Romans), asks for her help. Having been dismissed by Charlotte McDoyle (Chieko Hidaka) after images appeared on an online forum appearing to show her manhandling and yelling at the child in her care, Nadira insists the images are being taken out of context and seeks a settlement.
After some investigation, Olympia is able to identify her friend Lacy Milner (Cathryn Mudon) as the most likely source of the images and allegations, but needs to prove it. Meanwhile, Madeline tries to take advantage of Stuart’s (Francisco Chacin) efforts to keep European hours while Senior is away to access what she believes could be a critical document.
This episode was directed by Yangzom Brauen. The writer was Sheridan Watson.
