After Julian responds to Olympia’s prodding by joining a custody case against her, the couple’s personal issues threated to derail their usual professional approach. Olympia’s client is Paloma de Leon (Greta Quispie), whose husband Bruno Cortez (Mauricio Mendoza) is accused of hiding resources in foreign accounts to reduce his support payments. The true issue, however, is residence of and contact with the pair’s son Tenoch (Enzo Fabiani).
During the litigation, it transpires that Julian has hired Sarah’s college nemesis Simone (Andrea Londo), who immediately attempts to get under her rival’s skin and disrupt her friendship with Billy. Madeline seeks advice from Jacobson Moore’s head of security, Lucius Brown (Sale Taylor), as her investigations continue.
This episode was directed by Kat Coiro. The writers were David Aguilar and Hennah Sekander.
