Sarah Morgan reaches the Morgan Foundation office and is immediately surrounded by reporters. After Alejandro intervenes to create space, Sarah delivers a prepared statement: she recounts defending her husband Adam twelve years ago in the Kelly Summers murder case, asserts Adam’s innocence, and condemns the Prince William County Sheriff’s Office for concealing the identity of a third DNA contributor. She accuses former sheriff Ryan Stevens of violating his oath, implies corruption through his affair with Kelly, and calls the result “murder,” vowing to pursue justice if the legal system cannot.

As Sarah and Alejandro move toward the building, a reporter asks about a new statement by Adam’s mother, Eleanor Rumple, who plans to sue the sheriff’s office and potentially file a wrongful death suit, and who has accused Sarah of mishandling Adam’s case. Sarah refuses to endorse Eleanor directly, saying she supports justice. She then pointedly undermines Eleanor’s claims by referencing Eleanor’s grief, age, and faulty memory, and reiterates that withheld evidence deprived Sarah of the ability to fully defend Adam.

Inside the lobby, Sarah thanks Alejandro for his help. He notes she is giving him a second chance, and he offers to listen if she wants to talk. Sarah deflects, checks on his foundation-provided apartment and clothing, and learns he is struggling to find work due to a felony record. She proposes a temporary, legal job and passes him an address for Saturday at seven. Anne arrives, confirms the media presence, and Roger the security guard promises to keep reporters out.

Anne asks whether the new DNA evidence means Adam was innocent and whether Stevens killed Kelly. Sarah says Adam was always innocent to her but provides no conclusion about Stevens. She reflects on the inconvenient timing with her divorce from Bob Miller and briefly wonders if Bob leaked the DNA story to manipulate her, but dismisses the thought.

In the elevator, Anne asks about legal next steps. Sarah decides they must proactively file a motion to reopen Adam’s case and directs Anne to assign associates and contact allies in Washington, DC, to accelerate court action. When an unknown call comes in, Sarah exits and answers.

Sheriff Hudson informs Sarah that, separate from the now-open investigation into Kelly Summers, Ryan Stevens attempted suicide about an hour earlier and is in critical condition at UVA. Sarah replies that Ryan is no longer her client, thanks Hudson for the call, and hangs up.
