I kinda wonder how exactly he thinks this is going to fuck Ty. It's fucking mediation; unless you're being a colossal jackass or completely insane during it, the worst case is usually you're pretty much exactly where you started.
And Ty is literally asking "I want my client's reputation restored and some money for his trouble given all the evidence we have against you should we get through this".
To my understanding, albeit much less formally, opposing counsel has to now argue against the evidence that they have that their case is running on fumes.
They have to argue that Monica wasn't lying when she said Vic nearly sexually assaulted her despite her story changing three times (two times in the case itself, the most recent time being her saying in effect that she
wasn't assaulted) and Dahlin's affidavit. They have to argue that Ron was within his right to tortiously interfere with Vic's KC contract (
good luck). They have to spin them saying, in recorded form, that Vic was going to have criminal charges pressed against him when no such charges materialized.
Hopefully, BHBH'll shove the inconsistencies of the affidavits in their faces: Kara's documented behavior with Vic surrounding the alleged pursuit, the innumerable internal and external inconsistencies between Hunt, Falba, and Prager, the complete impossibility of McConnell's allegation,
Specht's utter uselessness at everything except dredging up dirty laundry for the sake of people who allegedly put her in harm's way for years...
Ty made a fumble, in some respects, but the field wasn't level, anyways. Still, for the time being, this is the present venue of the game. Hopefully, he'll make up the disadvantage quickly and forcefully.
