Damages

Hot-shot, high-stakes, New York City attorney Patty Hewes hires a new associate, the bright, ambitious, but somewhat naive Ellen Parsons, to help her as she tries to ruin billionaire Arthur Frobisher.

Ellen convinces Katie to testify against Arthur Frobisher after learning that she was in Florida years earlier when he was tipped off about the status of his company, which has him considering drastic measures.

As a bomb threat puts Patty and her family on edge, Ellen's loyalty to the firm is tested when she must choose between delivering a brief to an important judge and attending her own engagement party.

Though sure that she's ready to help nail Frobisher, Katie sees that she's been used after the accuracy of her deposition is called into question.

As Tom faces a decision between a lucrative partnership at a big firm and taking over the Frobisher lawsuit, Ellen and David's long hours at work jeopardize their relationship.

With the case pushing Ellen and David's relationship to a breaking point, Gregory Malina comes under increasing pressure to testify.

Relations between Ellen and Tom get frosty when Patty asks her if Tom offered her a job. Ellen says he didn't but then becomes paranoid at the thought that either Patty already knew or that Tom might tell her that he had.

As Patty tries to contain the damage caused by Gregory Malina's sudden disappearance and an insider who's leaking privileged information to Frobisher, Ellen's attentions are diverted by her own father's pending legal troubles.

As the Executive looks to force a settlement by providing Patty's team some critical information, Gregory Malina emerges from hiding to apologize to Katie and testify against Frobisher.

As the deposition is getting underway, Patty suspects someone on her staff has been leaking confidential information to Frobisher's legal team.

Though she refuses Patty's offer to come back to work, Ellen does agree to return to press Moore for more information that could help nail Frobisher.

Ray Fiske's suicide prompts Frobisher to unleash everything he has in order to gain control of evidence that could undermine him in court.

As Ellen uses the Malina videotape to fight the charges that she killed her fianc, Patty engineers a confrontation with Frobisher that brings the lawsuit to a dramatic conclusion.
