He owns a two-bedroom, two-bath condominium in West Hills. His attendant Selena Harris lives with Alan but occupies the other bedroom.

But, despite having moral conflicts with her client, Catherine pursues every legal technicality to get make the dying mom look bad. That night, she drinks her guilt away with five Long Island iced teas. Later on, Catherine is back at work but she's beginning to have mixed feelings about representing faceless corporations. On a subconscious level, she aches for a meaningless one-night stand with a guy who will just bang her brains out. A male coworker senses vulnerability in her and manipulates her to invite him to her home to work on a case. One thing leads to another and they have mind-blowing sex.

The next day, Alan and Selena open up their feelings to each other. But, there's an unforeseen obstacle. A few scenes later, Nicole tries to be affectionate with Catherine in a very public place. Catherine isn't ready to be "outed" so this causes an impasse. But a life-changing incident makes Catherine realize how truly important Nicole is to her long-term happiness.
