Evie is born by emergency C-section. Steve sleeps in a chair for four days. The Walsh family fills the corridors. Then Tara gives him Adderall, and the fog returns.

Act VII

The Mutual Order

The case passes to a fourth judge. Schauer vacates the Horowitz default and issues two temporary orders of protection — one against each party. The poisoner and the poisoned are treated as symmetrical threats. Steve tells the court a permanent temporary order does not give him a chance to face his accuser. The court tells him he is muddying the record.

Grandma's Letter

Steve asks the court to let his mother visit Evie instead. Linda Russell — a retired nurse who raised two sons who attended Stanford — drives thirteen hours round trip to Chappaqua. Walsh Sr. turns her away at the door. She persists. She gets the visits. She writes a letter to Judge Schauer documenting what she sees. Kelly publishes it on StevieLovesEvie.com.

Erase, Deactivate, and Delete

Jennifer Jackman resigns as Attorney for the Child without explanation. Her replacement files a motion to suppress all blog content. A visitation conference is converted into a gag order hearing. Steve is declared in default. Judge Schauer orders the blog removed — every post, every photograph, every grandmother's letter. The words are precise. Erase. Deactivate. Delete.
