"Allura is now going through a divorce of her own, and because of this, she's brought their old mentor, Dina, into the fold to represent her. As we all know, when you're going through a divorce, you have to call up all the best lawyers for consultations so they'll be "conflicted out" - meaning your ex can't hire them. Allura did this with all but one: her nemesis, Carrington Lane."
"Liberty has the cliché fear of commitment that you'd expect from a divorce attorney. We see her get proposed to by a long-term boyfriend despite her protests to go slow, and she rebuffs him in a panic. That sensibility is countered by Dina's, who plays the romantic foil to Liberty's pessimist. She's deeply in love with her husband, played by Ed O'Neill, but has struggled to care for him and keep the spark alive since he's fallen ill."
The episode deepens character backstories by focusing on Allura's contentious divorce and legal maneuvering, including enlisting mentor Dina while failing to conflict out nemesis Carrington Lane. Carrington is already hired by Allura's ex, escalating tension. Liberty confronts commitment fears when a long-term boyfriend proposes, reacting with panic. Dina remains romantically devoted to her husband, struggling with caregiving since his illness. Emerald chooses single parenthood via sperm donation and raises high-achieving triplets.
