"You slept with your assistant, Jeri. She went to jail for you."
"Yeah, for all of three days."

―Linda Chao and Jeri Hogarth[src]

With Jeri Hogarth accepting an award and given her speech, Chao and Steven Benowitz both expressed their disapproval with dealing with their partner's legal situation over her former secretary Pam's accusations.

Medical Disclosure[]

"How did you find out?"
"Oh, doesn't matter. You signed the same contract we did. We are sympathetic, but the medical disclosure clause does require that you disclose any diagnosis with potential to affect job performance."
Jeri Hogarth and Linda Chao[src]

Chao and Steven Benowitz found out that Jeri Hogarth had ALS. They met with her in her office to give her one last chance to leave before firing her because she was a liability. Hogarth was stubborn and did not budge.[2]

Meeting with Millard Graves[]

"Even the simplest transactions can get complicated by government agencies."
"Which are full of little men with littler bank accounts. They just require the right incentive."
