Episode synopsis
Abigail and Daniel represent Ira, who wants his wife Helen moved from a care home that he claims is worsening her Alzheimer's. But because his daughter doesn't want Helen moved and holds power of attorney, Ira must challenge her in court. The more the lawyers witness, the more they wonder about Ira's true motivations. The case, and his own family, make Daniel start to question his commitment to Danielle. Meanwhile, Lucy tries to maintain a sliver of sanity when her in-laws stay over. And Harry forces Abigail to represent him in a (deeply embarrassing) personal injury case.
