- Ted and Billy hang out at home. Billy colors while Ted reads. Billy asks Ted what he liked to do when he was little—like, did he watch The Brady Bunch? Ted says they didn't have a TV.
- Billy's shocked, and asks what else they didn't have. Billy hops into Ted's lap, and Ted starts rattling off things from the good ol' days, like egg creams and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
- Day Two at the courthouse. Margaret's on the witness stand, talking about what a great dad Ted has become.
- When Shaunessy's done, Gressen starts questioning Margaret and gets her to confirm that Margret encouraged Joanna to leave because she was so miserable with Ted.
- Gressen wraps up his questioning, but Margaret isn't done. She makes an appeal from the witness stand directly to Joanna as the judge bangs his gavel and orders her to be quiet. Margaret tells Joanna that things are different now. Ted and Billy are beautiful together. If she could just see that, maybe she wouldn't be doing what she's doing. Margaret's a pretty rad friend.
- Ted takes the witness stand and is questioned by Shaunessy. He says Joanna's complaints about him were probably valid, and that there's a lot of stuff he wishes he could change about how their marriage went down.
- Then it's Ted's turn for a meaty monologue. He admits he was a terrible husband, but he doesn't think that a kid's mother is necessarily the best parent for a kid just because of her gender. He and Billy have built a life together, and they love each other. Ted thinks destroying that would be harmful to Billy. He pleads with Joanna directly not to do that to Billy.
- "Don't do it twice to him," he adds. Oof.
- Gressen cross-examines Ted, and mocks him for taking a job with a lower salary and moving down the corporate ladder. He also asks Ted about missing deadlines and meetings at work because of Billy—once for a meeting at school because some kid next to Billy was biting him, once because Billy had a 104º temperature. Ted blows up on Gressen.
- TBH, it's a weird line of questioning. It seems like Gressen's trying to make Ted look unreliable or unable to balance parenting with his job, when, in actuality, he's just making him sound like a good dad who puts his kid before his job.
- Joanna seems to agree. She looks at Ted like, "Ted 2.0 blew off work to take care of our kid? Wowzers."
- Finally, Gressen ends his questioning by asking Ted about Billy falling off the jungle gym and needing stitches. Gressen dramatizes Billy's injury, big-time, insisting that Billy almost lost an eye and is "permanently disfigured." Sheesh! The kid has a little scar on his face.
- Gressen reads back a verbal statement Ted made to Joanna about feeling super-guilty over Billy's injury. Ted looks at Joanna like "Man, that's a low blow." No further questions.
- Ted and Shaunessy leave the courthouse together. They're talking, but we can't hear what they're saying; it's a wide shot. They shake hands and part ways, and Ted heads for the elevator.
- Joanna calls to Ted from a bench. This woman is constantly just "there."
- She apologizes for Gressen bringing up the accident, and it seems sincere. Ted doesn't speak. He gets on the elevator in silence and leaves, as Joanna keeps the apology train rolling and the rest of the people in the elevator pretend like they're minding their own business.
