To open episode 7, Frank has found Kate at the mental institution? She feels safe there and she couldn’t see any other way out? She tells Frank that he was right about George but the facility has to hold her for 72 hours. Without much choice left, Billy asks Frank to testify in court and he makes sure Patty receives that instruction. At the bar, Eva tells Billy that she’s afraid of Samantha because she reacted coldly to the death of Tom True. She offers to keep Billy’s apartment lease going while he “stays on the sidelines.” She wants Billy to continue helping with the case. Billy tells Eva that Samantha is compromised. You can sense there is sympathy from Billy’s side.
Before the trial, George visits Frank to try and reason with him. He tries telling him that he could be destroying what they built for their children and wants to make a deal. Frank calls him a parasite, so George punches him. Patty meets Billy in private. He tells her they can use Frank as a witness. But, it will be complicated due to Frank’s mental health history. Billy explains that she should get details on the new drug. Patty preps Frank for questioning but it isn’t easy. Samantha tells Patty that Frank was institutionalized and this raises her concerns.
Later on, Samantha puts herself on the team for court and this confuses Patty? The trial begins and Frank is seated on the witness stand. Patty begins her line of questioning but the opposing side wants to remove any mention of the new drug. They are this information calling it irrelevant? The judge approves the motion and this means Frank cannot mention it at all. Frank states that opioids are too addictive but years ago, a single scientist rejected that idea!! George held on to that idea to justify marketing their drug despite his objections. Then, Frank claims he was pushed out of the company by his brother George. Billions were gained from the loss of millions of lives. (5* I really liked this episode and season)
