Tara and Eric represent opposing sides in a high-stakes divorce case involving difficult repeat clients. A woman Eric previously represented petitions for divorce from her husband, Barry O'Brien, whom she accuses of bigamy.
The divorce is particularly messy because the wife demands half of Barry's business assets, which total over £2.5 million. Tara attempts to use Barry's son as a peacekeeper to resolve the dispute.
The high-level hospital cost-overrun inquiry led by Tara's mentor, Vincent, reaches a critical point. Richard and Conrad pressure Fitzjames to take the fall as new evidence comes to light.
