Los Angeles, California – Robert arrives at The Savoy with a bouquet of flowers, prepared for his meeting with Diane. In the lobby, he engages in a conversation with N’neka and discreetly hands her a tip for a separate matter they had discussed previously. Diane enters, accompanied by Alexis and Sonny, wearing a smile on her face. She joins Robert and clarifies that she had only run into Sonny and Alexis outside. Robert hopes to impress Diane and asks her to dance when her favorite song plays. However, Diane assumes he orchestrated the song selection and declines the invitation for a dance, instead requesting an apology.
Confused, Robert admits he doesn’t understand what he did wrong. Diane reminds him that he swore to bring Sonny down, mimicking his voice and words. Robert remains puzzled, believing their banter was all in good fun. Diane asserts that it crossed a line and was not an innocent exchange. Robert still fails to comprehend, asserting that their previous discussions were solely about going after Sonny legally, and he sees no reason to apologize. He reiterates that his actions are part of his job, but Diane accuses him of harboring a personal vendetta against her client. She expresses displeasure at his apparent gloating. Robert questions whether she is upset about the possibility of him winning or Sonny losing.
Their conversation continues as they debate Sonny’s guilt or innocence. Robert challenges Diane by asking if Sonny is merely her client or if they are friends. Diane confirms that Sonny is one of her closest friends and wonders if that changes Robert’s perception of her. Undeterred, Robert affirms that he views her as an intelligent and passionate woman, and that opinion will not waver. However, he admits he struggles to understand how she can overlook Sonny’s criminal activities. Diane counters by asking how it differs from Robert looking past the alleged crimes committed by Anna and Holly. She maintains that there is more to both Sonny and her other clients than meets the eye.
Diane wants to know if Robert can accept her friendship with Sonny, to which he questions if she can accept his obligation to prosecute individuals like Sonny. Realizing they have reached an impasse, Diane concedes that she would never expect Robert to apologize for being true to himself. Likewise, she urges him not to apologize for caring about Sonny. They agree to compartmentalize their personal and professional lives, leaving their clients in the courtroom and focusing solely on their own relationship.
