In “Harm Reduction,” Matty and Olympia take on a sensitive case involving a group of nuns, forcing the pair to confront the shifting boundaries of their partnership. Meanwhile, Olympia and Sarah are drawn into secretive — and potentially risky — internal activities within the firm, further entangling them in the high-pressure world behind the courtroom.
Written by Conway Preston & Nicki Renna and directed by Gina Lamar , the episode blends emotional stakes with sharp legal maneuvering as Matty continues navigating her new world with trademark wit and unassuming brilliance.
