After convincing Cameron of Ava's innocence as well as his drive to win, Cameron accepts their offer and tells them to draw up the paperwork.

Darby agrees to sign the agreement, which clears Ava's name, as well as forces Darby to falsely testify that Stephen admitted his part in the murder.

However, Darby is shocked when he realizes that the deal also demands him to forfeit his license to practice law in the United States, thus dissolving their firm.

Jessica reminds him that he stated that Ava was like family and that he would do anything to undo this mess, and informs him that sometimes family forces one to do things they don't want to do; Darby then signs the agreement.
