Sixteen visits. Five supervisors. Every observer reports the same thing: Steve is attentive, Evie is happy. The supervisors keep changing. The reports keep disappearing. The visits stop for five months. The court grants sole custody anyway.
Steve files a detailed memorandum describing the ambush, the supervision manipulation, and the historical abuse inside the Walsh household. The court destabilizes. The judge recuses. The case is reassigned.
Kelly undergoes surgery. Steve's attorneys request remote appearance at a visitation conference. At five o'clock the evening before, the court denies the request. He boards an overnight flight. When he arrives, Judge Horowitz has already entered a default — granting permanent custody and a five-year order of protection at what was scheduled as a status conference.
