Family Law - Season 1 - Eps 9: Blame it on the Mother
Abigail and Daniel represent Trish and Kim, two sisters who are being sued by their estranged mother for parental support. To win their case, the lawyers must prove that Trish and Kim's estrangement from their mother is due to her emotional abuse. Surprisingly, Abigail finds herself identifying with their imperfect mother because she has been such an imperfect one herself. Meanwhile, Daniel debates leaving Svensson for a rival firm; Lucy is melancholic as her deceased mother's birthday approaches; and Harry goes viral after making a public gaffe that is #problematic. And Abigail is hopeful when Frank agrees to adjust both their custody arrangement, and their living situation.
