The Darlings are one of the most powerful families in New York. In the line of the Kennedys, they have the money, the power, the ambitions and a tendency to find themselves in impossible situations, to mess with unsavory people... If they had not Nick George, their lawyer, to save them, to avoid the front page of trashy magazines or, worse, prison, their decline would have begun a long time ago. Yet Nick, an idealistic lawyer, has long refused his destiny: to serve the Darlings. Before him, his father had given himself body and soul to this destructive family by becoming their adviser. Nick doesn't know if serving the Darlings is a chance or a sentence.

"The Family Lawyer"

The newscasts report and speculate on the fiery demise of the Darlings' Valhalla estate, as well as a Darling's death in the fire. At the same time, the family must also deal with funeral arrangements and the aftermath of the arrest of an unforeseen suspect in the murder of Dutch George. Brian recommends to Tripp that, in order to restore confidence in Darling Enterprises, a successor be named a role Simon feels that Karen deserves. Meanwhile, a smitten Jeremy learns Nola Lyons' true profession, Nick and Lisa discuss having another child, and recording artist Kenny G performs.

"The Silence"

As Election Day nears, senatorial candidate Patrick insists to a disapproving Tripp that he wants to take his relationship public with his transgender mistress, Carmelita. Meanwhile, Ellen's brother, Chase, shows up and demands from Patrick the truth about his sister's death. In other developments, Nick and Lisa are in couples therapy; Jeremy asks Nola to ease Letitia's house arrest so she can go to Patrick's election night party; Brian Jr. goes missing, and, at Karen's request, Nick talks to Simon about his real motive for wanting to marry her.

"The Summer House"

As Karen excitedly prepares for her wedding day, she is convinced that this fifth marriage to family nemesis Simon Elder -- is the one that will end in happily ever after. But Tripp is still suspicious of Simon's real motives and wants Nick to make one last-ditch effort to keep the wedding from happening. Lisa hopes taking Jeremy to the wedding will make Nick jealous. In other developments, Patrick hires Jeremy to join his senate team, against Nola's protestations; Brian finds himself drawing closer to Andrea as her illness worsens; and when Letitia sees Tripp paying too much attention to their houseguest, Wrenn, she realizes that this pretty, young woman has overstayed her welcome.
