 Jorge with his attorney at the hearing. ("He's a Bad Father") |
After being hired by Jorge Castillo, at court, Laurel's mother, Sandrine Castillo is brought in as a character witness to help the judge to see that Laurel is a caring person as she looked after her mother when she was mentally unwell. After, Laurel is called to the stand where Annalise Keating (Laurel's lawyer) asks Laurel whether she took drugs during her pregnancy to which she denies. However, the opposing attorney presents the court with evidence from tests run at St. Edith's Hospital which suggest that she took drugs which induced her labor. To fight this, Annalise presents the court with documents which show that the hospital has been found with 8 cases of alteration in drug abuse examinations during the last year. Jorge Castillo's lawyer argues that this does not discredit because of the state that Laurel was in after she woke up in the hospital. Annalise argues that it was because she woke up, tied in a bed. Annalise later questions Laurel about her relationship with her father by asking her whether it brings her some comfort that her baby is going to her father, however, Laurel says that she would prefer that a stranger had her baby before her father as she claims that he never cared about her or his family and that she loves her son, so he should be with her. Mr. Dean argues against Laurel's own morality, and eventually, when Keating takes Dr. Isaac Roa to the stand, he takes advantage to discredit the credibility of it. Alice wants to give custody to the mother of the child, but because the evidence that shows she is unfit to take care of him is discarded, so she gives custody of Christopher to Jorge.
