I Love You, Mommy

Patty arrives in her office to find her granddaughter Catherine sitting at her desk. When Catherine refuses to move, Patty lashes out at her, only to see Catherine replaced by Ellen. It's the same dream Patty had earlier. But this time Ellen says, I love you, Mommy. Waking up from her dream, Patty finds herself on the couch in her apartment. Patty meets an old friend Roger Kastle, who tells her she's on the short list for the Supreme Court. When the SEC blocks Patty's access to Princefield's computer servers, Patty goes to the media saying that McClaren sexually assaulted Naomi Walling. Incensed, Ellen schedules a hearing with Judge Gearheart, who in turn issues a gag order on both women. When Ellen complains that Patty manipulated the situation, Judge Gearheart takes offense and tells her the order stands. Ellen learns her mother, Denise, left her abusive husband Gary.
