Celeste and Mary Louise finally go to court, to battle for the custody of Max and Josh. Celeste is completely shocked and hurt when Mary Louise's lawyer, who is a "shark," asks her a wide array of personal questions. He mentions every one-night stand Celeste has had, asks her if violence arouses her, asked her if she has every hit Perry, Mary Louise, and her kids (which she admitted she had before). He tried to make Celeste look like a bad, unstable mother, who sleeps around. Celeste addressed the court and the judge directly, explaining that she is coping with grief and intends to improve herself and get better immediately.
Just before the judge announces the verdict, Celeste interrupts and says that Mary Louise never took the stand and that isn't fair. Celeste herself wants to question Mary Louise to show that she herself is not a proper caretaker for the boys. The judge agrees.
Ed meets with Tori, who comes on to him and tells him that she has fantasized about him. Ed looks flatters but doesn't say anything back. Madeline approaches Ed again and says that she wants to try to work it out.
Jane approaches Corey about his presence at the police station. She asks if he is a cop. He said that he was just called in for questioning by the detective, who asked him if Jane has ever talked about the rape (by Perry) with him. Corey claims that he told the detective nothing. Jane seems mildly reassured, but stops answering his calls and texts because she says she isn't ready for something new just yet.
