"Legal System Abuse & Dropping the Mask"

This episode covers the period from mid-May through July 2023, focusing on Gary's weaponization of the State Bar grievance process as retaliation for Amy's public disclosure of his actions. Throughout June and July, Gary oscillates between trying to "save" Amy and threatening her career, while simultaneously constructing an elaborate fictional narrative that Amy is on a drug
bender at her mother's house. The episode culminates on July 4th weekend, when Gary,
intoxicated, calls Amy claiming he "hit someone" while driving. Amy calls for a wellness check,
and police break down Gary's new glass front door to find him hiding inside—leading to an
explosive, profanity-laden recording where Gary's mask completely drops.
