Dev uses Leverage on Susanne

"Before we head back, Susanne," Dev said slyly, not wanting to lose this opportunity, "we've still got this meeting room booked for another 40 minutes. Why don't you tell me more about your son? You said you wanted to give him space, but it doesn't sound like he's very independent. How do you feel about your parenting with him?"

Dev had initiated his Leverage power on Susanne. He hoped she would let something slip that he could use to leverage against her, perhaps to blackmail and get a leg up. He waited in anticipation for her response...

"I... I just wish that boy knew how to be a man sometimes," Susanne sat back down in her seat, putting her hands on her slim waist.

It worked! Dev was glad his powers had worked on the MILF paralegal and let her continue.

"Kevin has never even had a girlfriend. He'd rather spend the whole day in his room than go out and talk to another human being. You know how much that pains me to see?" Susanne sighed, her large chest pushing against the buttons of her blouse. She was letting out a lot of grief in her life and Dev wanted to keep digging deeper.

"So Susanne, you think that's because of your parenting? I don't think it's fair to take all the blame yourself, why do you feel that way?" Dev pushed to hear where her shortcomings lied.

"Well... I..." Sandra stuttered a lot but Dev's powers quickly corrected her speech, "my husband cheated on me soon after I had Kevin, you see. And I still wanted to be with him, even if he didn't treat me right. Maybe I was into it in a way? Either way, he left me a long time ago and now Kevin's been the only person in my life. I kept thinking it was my fault that my husband didn't treat me right, and so now I want to make sure I don't make the same mistakes with Kevin. I give him as much freedom as possible. No expectations, no rush for him to move out. But in trying to keep him close in my life, he's become so dependent... I feel like my plan has backfired! I just wish he respected me more, did what asked him when I asked him. I just feel so powerless sometimes!"

There it is!

"Susanne. Why don't we roleplay to work this out?" Dev used his powers and Manipulated her...

Susanne's feeling towards her parenting could be used against her. She blames herself for being too overprotective a mother, and also for not knowing how to answer back against any male figure in her life. But would Dev rather be the good son-figure in Susanne's life, letting her believe her parenting methods are good? Or would Dev rather exploit Susanne for her inability to talk back to a man, no matter how he treated her?

In other words: will Dev go down the subservient route where she is a submissive MILF, truly making good of her "mother of the department" moniker? Or will Dev threaten her by taking the role of her ex-husband, and putting her in her place?
