The Client

The Morning After (1x16)

Ausstrahlung: Feb 06, 1996

When Reggie's sponsor, Gretchen, shows up at an AA meeting after roughly two years, the two are excited to see each other and agree to get together. Reggie suggests they meet after he son's soccer tournament – something over which she is deeply excited. At home, Momma Love surprises Reggie by giving her a letter from her son's attorney; Chris is suing both of his parents for his divorce. To make matters worse, when Reggie tries to talk to Gus about it, she meets his new (much younger) girlfriend. Later, Gretchen steals Reggie's credit card. At the same time, Gus' girlfriend, Jennifer, hires a private detective to get some dirt on Reggie. When Gretchen wakes up in a hotel room next to a dead man after falling off the wagon (a hotel room for which she paid with Reggie's credit card), she hides out with Reggie without telling her what's really going on. Reggie eventually figures things out when the cops trace her credit card and goes looking for Gretchen at all of their old haunts.
