If Archer had truly wanted to keep his family legacy intact, he probably shouldn't have willed all of the skeletons in his closet to his district attorney daughter. One of the subplots of Inheritance involves Lauren prosecuting a massive Bernie Madoff-like investment scandal, and she's determined to deliver justice to the countless people and businesses the defendant in her case had defrauded. But in court one day, as Lauren looks over the list of the defendant's investors, one name jumps out at her, Gypsy Rose, LLC, which she intuitively realizes is owned by her father.
How exactly Lauren makes the connection between Gypsy Rose, LLC, and her own family isn't ever explained, but her hunch turns out to be right. She confronts her father's attorney, Harold Thewlis (Michael Beach), asking if he'd known that her father had been an investor in the Ponzi scheme. He admits that he did, but he was trying to protect her father's secrets. Lauren is furious, explaining that her family being investors in the case she's prosecuting is a major conflict of interest. However, Lauren never tells anyone else about Gypsy Rose, LLC, indicating that as much as she claims she's on the side of the marginalized, she's got more of her father in her than she'd like to admit.
