Culpability

Noah wakes up early and finds Izzy on the couch. He kisses her head and asks about her kayaking trip with Charlie, which she claims was uneventful. Noah goes on a walk and notices the extreme but concealed security measures around Monet’s property. As he turns around at the end of the road, a security guard instructs him to move along.

Noah starts to argue that he’s on public land when Ramsay calls. Noah recounts the accident and Alice’s new information, but Ramsay cuts him short, saying that Charlie and Noah have an evident conflict of interest. Charlie was a minor, so Noah was the responsible adult, but he was also the primary witness to Charlie’s negligence. Ramsay refuses to represent both men, so Noah opts for Ramsay to represent Charlie. Ramsay offers to find Noah another lawyer.

Noah sends Charlie’s contact information to Ramsay immediately, forgetting that he hasn’t told Charlie about the lawyer or that he knows about the texting. He jogs back to the house, where Charlie is already on the phone. Lorelei reprimands Noah for complicating things behind her back.

After Charlie gets off the phone, he tells Noah that he isn’t allowed to say anything about the case.
