Episode 6 of All’s Fair Season 1 steps into the emotional battlefield of divorce mediation, delivering one of the show’s most intense, personal, and emotionally layered chapters so far. Titled “Divorce Is Like a Death,” the episode explore the heartbreak, resentment, legal maneuvers, and the painful truths that surface when a relationship officially reaches its breaking point, what begins as a fight over assets slowly unravels into a raw confrontation about betrayal, motherhood, ambition, and the pieces left behind when love collapses.
The plot centers on Allura and Chase facing each other, along with their legal teams, for what is supposed to be a structured mediation. But the moment the parties walk into the room, the atmosphere is thick with tension. Years of hurt, pride, and miscommunication bubble beneath the surface, threatening to spill over at any second; and of course, derailment comes swiftly, thanks in no small part to Carr, whose personal motives have never been more evident.
Carr’s Secret Agenda Backfires
From the very start, Carr makes it clear that she took this case for one reason and one reason only, she wants Allura’s company. It’s not about justice, fairness, or even representing Chase. It’s about revenge, professional envy, and the thrill of taking something from a woman she once stood beside. Carr positions herself as the unstoppable legal bulldog ready to tear down Allura piece by piece.
However, as the mediation progresses, it becomes obvious that Carr’s ambition is too transparent, too emotionally charged, and entirely too reckless. Her reliance on technicalities to void the prenuptial agreement falls flat, especially when Alberta, Chase’s other attorney, tries to stretch interpretations so thin they snap. With every failed attempt to destabilize the prenup, Carr’s frustration grows and her professionalism slips further away.
What she doesn’t expect is that Allura will walk into this fight with someone even more ruthless.
The Attorney Who Doesn’t Play Nice
Dina begins the episode as Allura’s attorney, firm in her ethics and determined to fight honorably. But this is not the kind of mediation where “playing by the rules” works. When Emerald steps in to take over, the tone of the battlefield shifts dramatically.
Emerald does not flinch. She does not hesitate and she certainly does not mind getting dirty if it means her client wins.
First, she presents evidence that Chase has been fixing matches to cover his debts. The receipts, the emails, the trail, it's all there. But because those emails were obtained through private means, they are inadmissible. Rather than panic, Emerald simply smirks that wasn’t her real weapon.
What she plays next is a bombshell.
Emerald brings out a damning video of Carr, drunk and slurring in the back of a police car during a DUI arrest. The footage captures Carr making disgusting, incriminating statements about her clients including sexual comments regarding Chase. It’s ugly. It’s chaotic. And it destroys Carr’s credibility within seconds.
The moment the video goes public in the room, Carr unravels. She becomes the legal equivalent of a grenade with the pin already pulled. Her composure snaps, her voice rises, and the damage is immediate and irreversible.
Carr’s Breakdown
The meltdown that follows is one of the most powerful scenes of the episode. Fueled by humiliation and fury, Carr launches herself onto the mediation table. The insults spill out viciously as she directs a hurricane of rage at Allura.
The blow that leaves the deepest wound comes when Carr attacks the one topic she knows cuts Allura the most; her infertility. She hurls cruel, unforgivable words about Allura’s ability to be a mother, suggesting she surpasses her in every possible way, professionally and personally.
It’s a shocking moment, even in a show built on emotional extremes. And it lands right when Allura is already emotionally raw because moments before, she learned something devastating.
The Embryos and the Baby That Never Was
Throughout the mediation, Allura clings to a quiet hope, one last thread tying her to the idea of a family with Chase. But in a painful and private moment, she realizes she has gotten her period. The embryos she had illegally implanted, without Chase’s consent, did not take.
The truth hits her like a wave, and her conversation with Chase about it is one of the most tender yet painful scenes of the season. The dream she clung to, of motherhood, of a future that might soften the wreckage of their marriage, shatters completely.
Dina, trying to maintain some ethical order, scolds Allura for illegally using shared property without consent. Technically, there could be legal repercussions. But the law is the last thing on Allura’s mind at that moment. She is mourning and Carr’s venomous insults only deepen the wound.
The Truce No One Saw Coming
After the dust settles, something unexpected happens; Carr and Allura make peace.
The rage burns out of Carr as quickly as it flared, leaving exhaustion and regret in its place. Allura softens, admitting she was wrong for leaving Carr behind in the past. For a brief, fragile moment, the two women acknowledge their shared history and mourn the friendship that once existed between them.
In the end, Carr concedes. The prenup stands.
Allura keeps her company and Chase walks away empty-handed.
It’s a victory, but a bittersweet one!
Dina’s Goodbye
As the episode closes, another quiet heartbreak unfolds. Dina finally lets go of the man she has been entangled with. It is a quiet, emotional farewell that adds a grounding, intimate note to an otherwise explosive episode. Her goodbye feels like the emotional mirror of Allura’s day; loss, acceptance, and the small courage it takes to walk away from what no longer works.
Final Thoughts
Episode 6 is a storm of legal warfare and emotional gut-punches, blending the ruthlessness of courtroom drama with the vulnerability of personal grief. “Divorce Is Like a Death” lives up to its name in every sense. Something ends. Something breaks. And everyone walks away a little bruised.
But in the midst of it all, resilience rises, quiet, fierce, and undeniable. Allura wins her company. She loses her last hope for a baby. Friendships fracture, truths explode, and secrets spill into the open. It’s messy, human, and gripping, everything All’s Fair does best.
