Biography[]
Season 3[]
Susan's student, Tristan Fullerton, was facing charges of credit card fraud. She and two other teachers appeared in court to support Tristan and do whatever they could to help.
Asher asked Oliver to hack to find where Tristan was hiding the money after he refused to tell anyone what he did with it. He was able to access Tristan's bus pass account to find him frequently visiting a storage facility. The three go there and discover a storage unit filled with baby supplies. Tristan admits he has a 'girlfriend' and that they can't say anything because she works at the school. Bonnie puts it together that Susan, the pregnant teacher of three introduced to the defense during the beginning of the trial, sexually assaulted Tristan and became pregnant as a result.
Later Bonnie and Asher were discussing what to do. Bonnie said Susan intended to testify and her plan was to have her confess on the stand. Asher called the plan risky, but Bonnie didn't want Susan to have time to get a lawyer. The next day Bonnie called Susan to the stand and asked why Tristan would steal credit cards, and asked if his history of abuse might have played a part in it. Susan said she didn't know, so Bonnie asked if she was pregnant. The judge questioned the relevance of Bonnie's question, so she said it would become clear when Susan admitted that Tristan was her baby's father. Tristan whispered to Asher asking him to stop her. Bonnie continued to ask Susan who the father was, even after the prosecution objected, and the judge told Susan she could plead the 5th to avoid self incrimination during testimony. Bonnie continued applying pressure to Susan and she eventually took the 5th.
Later, Bonnie told Tristan that the charges against him were dropped because the D.A understood he was acting on behalf of an adult. Tristan blew up at her and Asher, calling them horrible people because Susan's baby would be born in jail and grow up with no family just like him.
