In a desperate move during Joseph's custody battle, Melissa and Lance resort to blackmail.

With the witness backing Lance's claims, the judge dismisses Cole and Linda's case. Meanwhile, at the Gioberti residence, Maggie and Chase uncover that Jacqueline’s ties to Johann Riebmann and Henri Denault link her to war crimes.
