Ep 16. Whatever Works

Though Charlie and Bailey can't believe Ned is abusing her, they reluctantly confront Julia, who claims that Griffin's accusations could not be farther from the truth. And when details about Daphne's background reveal that her mom abandoned her at a very early age, Charlie wants to give their relationship another try. Meanwhile, as Bailey is asked to be a partner in a chain of new restaurants, Claudia takes offense when Cody invites some friends along on their date. In the wake of what he's learned, Charlie is determined to track down Daphne. But when he decides to take Diana along, too, Kirsten cannot keep from making her own feelings known. Then, at a meeting with their attorney, Griffin won't sign the divorce papers unless Julia agrees to stop seeing Ned. And when she refuses, a violent attack on Ned lands Griffin in jail. Meanwhile, Bailey begins to have second thoughts about the business deal after he's forced to spend an evening at a strip club with his new partners. And after Cody gives her a valuable collector's item for Valentine's Day, Claudia is stunned to learn that it's stolen. While tending to Ned in the hospital, Julia refuses to post Griffin's bail, leaving it to Claudia to get him released. And once Charlie and Diana find her in Los Angeles, Daphne wants nothing to do with them, regardless of what's been learned about her own tragic past. Finally, as Bailey decides against the deal in order to spend more time with Owen, Charlie prepares to leave Los Angeles in defeat -- until Daphne arrives at his hotel after realizing that little of what she's been told about her childhood is true.
