Kathryn and Caden prepare to step up their attack against Max, they protecting others who may get caught in Max's line of fire, getting rid of anyone who may be spying on his behalf whether that be deliberate or inadvertent, and having a venue they believe will get their message out to the widest audience possible. In the process, Caden finds out more about why Orla is the in hospital. Someone Kathryn hoped would be on her side isn't in the fear of what Max could and probably will do in retaliation. With Caden's situation, Max cleans house at the newspaper as only a small part of his defense about what he knows is to come with Kathryn and Caden. Meanwhile, the Jaharis try to do damage control in light of the Reporter article - they in the process demonstrating behind closed doors that their family dynamic is much like the Finches - while Angela Howard believes she has made a coup in co-opting someone specific to her camp. And Scott tries to come clean to his mother - from who he is estranged - before she finds out the news in more public ways.
