Nate clearly states that he loves Malcolm and that Malcolm is a good father to him. He tells the judge that he loves his mother but doesn't really understand why he can't see his father. The judge takes a short recess and makes her decision. She says that both Malcolm and Olivia are at fault for the recent turn of events. It is true that Malcolm is not Nate's biological father but Nate considers him to be his father. The judge tells Olivia that depriving Nate from seeing Malcolm because of her feelings may have some relevance but it is hurting her son. She tells Malcolm that circumventing the rules set by Olivia is not the way to make points. He is not to make up his own rules regarding the upbringing of Nate. The judge rules that Malcolm should have regular visitation privileges and Olivia and Malcolm need to work it out, if they cannot, she will. After the judge's ruling, Nate tells his mother that he loves her and runs over to his father and hugs him.
