In Season 4, โ€œAbigailโ€™s (Staite) home, work, and romantic life are up in flames,โ€ per The CW. โ€œHer boyfriend Ben (Benjamin Ayres) has fallen off the wagon, Sofia (Eden Summer Gilmore) has written a devastating essay about her motherโ€™s alcoholism, and Harry (Garber) has passed her over for equity partnership.โ€

โ€œAbby decides to give Ben a second chance โ€“ though it only leads to more disappointment. Later, sparks fly when she meets someone new and unexpected, but is she ready to date again? Professionally, Abbyโ€™s concerns about a major development at the firm are ignored, forcing her to make a decision that sends shockwaves through the office โ€“ and her family. Meanwhile, Harry and Joanne (Lauren Holly) manage their breakup poorly, until they both have experiences that make them reevaluate what truly matters. At work, Harryโ€™s plan for a lucrative merger with a rival law office looks like a sure thing until it forces him to make an impossible choice.โ€

โ€œDaniel (Zach Smadu) mourns the end of his โ€œrelationshipโ€ with Martina (Miranda Edwards) by having a one-night stand with the offbeat Jude (Mapuana Makia), and his life is turned upside down when Jude shares life-changing news with him. Lucy (Genelle Williams) ends her relationship with the manipulative Kelly (Aliyah Oโ€™Brien), but the break-up leaves her wracked with self-doubt โ€“ until sheโ€™s upfront about her insecurities on a podcast, which leads to exciting opportunities and possible romance.โ€
