During the hearing, Addison is told that the social worker has concerns. The judge can’t finalize the adoption.

Sam asks Violet if she’s feeling alright and to lay her problems on him. Violet says she’s happy for Charlotte and Cooper and everyone else but she had this moment of knowing she’ll never have another child or get married again. Sam says that she is still a work in progress. Sam says no one knows what tomorrow brings because she’s not done yet.  Sam says she is unfinished. Violet says that was really good and he should write a book.

The social worker says that Jake is the problem because he nearly beat a man to death. Mildred says that’s not a safe place for a child. Addison wants to know why Mildred didn’t say something sooner.
