Two weeks has now turned into a month, towards the end of the month, Maj realizes that she should really circle through Philadelphia and check on her house. According to her accounts, her house is running as it should, the deliveries have been signed for, groceries received. Her only worry is that with her lady in isolation, the dust in her house may require a plow. It is funny how foreign Philadelphia suddenly feels, Maj realizes that she has nested in the Hamptons. She quickly realized why Wong was interested in an NYC branch for the firm. Life in the Hamptons has a certain allure, life with Finn and Max has fallen into a sweet rhythm. The weather has grown a bit more sultry with the tickles of summer in the air waning any desire to leave the ocean breezes and sandy beaches of the Hamptons. This life has definitely grown on Maj in a way that is very hard to ignore.
Maj sits in her "office" working away to prepare for cases that will docket in the very near future, as Finn and Max enjoy a stroll on the beach. Maj's attention is pulled away from the briefs by the announcement of a visitor as Honor strolls into the room still baring the golden glow from a month in the Maldives. With a glance up Maj instantly asks the current location of Mitchum. "Oh no worries, darling he is still indulging in the islands, the boys will have school soon." Maj takes in the faint scent of lotion and sunshine that is radiating off of Honor. "But we do have a situation to contend with." Maj shifts her full attention to Honor. "In the form of?" Maj never likes this tone coming from Honor. "I had a visitor when we arrived back in New York." The synapses suddenly fire in Maj's brain. "How the hell?" Honor smiles at the fact that Maj read her mind. "How the hell did Oddette get into the US?" Honor stands, beginning to pace in front of Maj. "Apparently, my brother's fiance is a bit craftier than we thought." Before she can get the words out, Honor answers the question that is forming in Maj's head. "I sent her to the penthouse, told her the God's honest truth, I don't know where Logan is since we just got back but that won't satisfy her for long." Maj knows that this is a game that Honor is quite skilled at playing but this is an unexpected wrinkle.
Finn enters the room with a big greeting and compliment for Honor's sunkissed glow. He circles in planting a kiss on Honor's cheek as he takes a seat in front of the desk. "So our little Frenchie is crafty, how intriguing. So do we recall my mate from the City of Brotherly Love?" It occurs to Maj that Odette has one of her cards, she already knows of a Philadelphia connection from the whole incident in Paris. "Odette knows I am based out of Philly from the whole Paris debacle." Maj runs her fingers through her hair as she tries to figure out what Odette would want. Finn offers in with "why now? Why show up now?" The words no sooner leave Finn's lips as Maj's phone begins to buzz with the notification from her doorbell. Both Finn and Honor are curious as to the rapid change in Maj's expression.
Rory gets the notification on her phone off of the video doorbell as she hears the ring, a glance at the face provides an instant flash of recognition and a sudden rush of panic as the glass falls to the floor from her hand. The breaking glass instantly grabs Logan's attention along with his ringing phone. Rory watches Logan's eyes grow wide as he glances at the name illuminated across the screen. The noise from the breaking glass draws Matthew's attention from the office. As he heads to the kitchen, the buzz of the doorbell captures Matt's attention a glance at his phone of the rising tone of the conversation tells him that something is definitely amiss. It is highly unusual for anyone to use that door. Realizing that it is Logan's other, Matt springs into action. "Go down to the garage. I got this." Matthew commands oas Logan immediately leads Rory down the stairs with Matthew heading to answer the door. Odette is shocked to see the handsome man before her. She was expecting something else. "Can I help you?" Odette stutters on her words as she answers. "I am looking for Majestic Fairchild?" She pivots given the wild card she did not anticipate. "I am sorry, Majestic is currently out of town. I don't expect her back for some time." Odette defaults to the story of Paris. "I was really hoping to get a hold of Majestic for a legal matter." Matthew knows his sister well enough to know that this is a play. Maj would never give a client her home address. "Do you have a card or something, I can get her a message." Ever the boy scout, Matthew currently has a notebook in his back pocket and a pencil behind his ear. Seeing the woman before him falter, Matt offers up the pencil and paper to find out who this is. Begrudgingly, Odette rolls with her lie, writing down her name and number. I'll let Maj know you stopped by."
His phone rings as he shuts the door, with a smile Matthew answers. "So Paris?" Matt teases Maj as he greets his sister. Finn and Honor watch Maj's interaction with Matt with anticipation and interest and a bit of comic relief.
Logan assists Rory up the stairs as Matthew circles into the kitchen still on the phone with Majestic. Logan is relieved that Matthew was able to dismiss Odette. Fortunately, there is no obvious tell that he is here. Logan's car is still at Honor's place in the Hamptons. With a nod in Logan's direction, Matthew hands Logan the phone. To Logan's surprise, it is Honor on the other end rattling off instructions as only his sister can.
