They talk about the invasion of SC and how Edmund locked Richard up and tried to convince everyone he was insane. Cassie rescued Richard from lock up just to have Edmund kidnap her and hold her prisoner in a dungeon without food or water.

After an anonymous tip he went to the docks and recovered the body of Carmen Santos along with a bullet that was imbedded in the remains. The bullet that was recovered from the body was fired from Danny's gun. Gus calls Danny a derogatory name and the Judge is surprised Ross didn't object. Ross tells him that Gus's prejudicial remarks can be seen by him and the jury so there is no need to object. DA Wolfe insists that Gus is in no way biased in this case. During cross-examination, Ross asks Gus if he is in charge of all aspects of the Santos case. Gus tells him that he is. Ross asks if certain details aren't usually left to the local cops. Gus says usually but in this case, he handled all the evidence and double-checked it himself. Ross wants Gus subject to recall and then dismisses him. Gus steps down and whispers to Ross that he is defending a lost cause. He goes to sit directly behind Blake and whispers to him that he is having a great day so far.

DA Wolfe has a forensic expert on the stand talking about the ballistic report on the bullet retrieved. He tells her that it was a perfect match to Danny's gun.

Doris tells the judge that she has ran out of witnesses and will have to ask for an adjournment until the morning. The judge grants it. Gus tells Doris that Ross realizes he has a lost cause. Doris tells him that Ross doesn't play that way and he had better be sure that they have the right man on trial. Blake tells Ross that whatever he has on his mind is making everyone keep guessing. He tells her that is what he wants. Blake wonders why Gus has such a vendetta against Danny. Ross tells her to stay away from Gus.

She acts dumb and he tells her that it is a story of a mob wife having her husband killed because he refused to tell her the name of his mistress. He goes on to tell her that most people believe it is the story of Carmen Santos and how she had Miguel Santos killed. He asks Maria if she read it and realized that Carmen was responsible for her son's death. He pressures her and he finally admits that she did and she hated Carmen. She tells Ross that she wanted Carmen dead and she sent Danny to the docks because he was furious and she wanted him to take his mother out. She admits that she never told Danny that his mother was still alive, only that he could find his wife down by the docks and he must get there immediately if he wants to spare her life. She goes on to say that Carmen was not fit to live; she was a cancer on her family. She had to be thrown away with the garbage. Maria tells the jury that she couldn't be the one to pull the trigger.

Ross reminds Maria that she only mentioned Michelle being at the docks, not Carmen and that is who Danny rushed off to find. He finishes with her and the judge calls a recess.

At the Spaulding House:

Beth comes in and asks the servant if she has had any calls. He tells her that she hasn't. Phillip asks if she is expecting one and she tells him that she would have thought Edmund would have called. Lizzie starts to leave and drops the note from Edmund. Beth finds it and she tells her that it was supposed to be a secret. Her mom told her to run along and she opened the note and read it. It tells her that he tried to call and no one will put his calls through. She asks Phillip and Lillian about it and then goes to call Edmund on his cell phone. He is glad to hear from her and wants to see her. She tells him that they need to talk and she invites him to the mansion. Phillip is angry and tells Beth that Edmund is not welcome there. Beth tells him that she will go to where Edmund is then because they have to talk. She hangs up and tells Phillip and Lillian they have no right to screen her calls. She tells them that she will make her own decisions.

Norman, the servant, announces Edmund. Edmund tells Beth how sorry he is and he never meant to hurt her. He was trying to spare her pain in a misguided way and knows why she is angry. Beth is disappointed because she thought they were full partners and equals. Edmund says she is better than him and they are good for each other. He made a huge mistake and should have trusted her with the truth about Cassie. They can't just throw everything away. Beth tells him this isn't a minor disagreement. Edmund tells her that he loves her and wants her to give him a chance to make things right between them. Beth tells Edmund he made her feel good, competent and strong and she needed to hear that so badly that she closed herself off to certain things. She was so afraid of being a victim that she went to the other extreme. She put blinders on but deep down a part of her knew he was holding Cassie. She goes on to say if Cassie had died she would have been partly responsible. Beth tells him that she lost all perspective and he was like a fix to her. Beth says she is an addict and needs to commit to change. She tells him she wants a divorce and Edmund tells her she can't mean that. He is sure they can get past this. Beth says they don't have the right to hurt people. Edmund says they aren't dysfunctional; they are connected. Beth says she has seen the truth about them and she cannot be a victim any longer. She has to take care of herself and there is no room in her life for Edmund. Edmund tells her he is crushed and hopes she will change her mind. He loves her and that will never change. Beth tells him goodbye. Edmund says he hopes that she will give him the time to try to win her back and he can't do that from a jail cell. Beth says she won't testify against him; there has been enough hurt to go around. She leaves the room and Phillip comes in and offers to show him out. Phillip is smiling since Edmund got dumped. Edmund tells him not to think he will get Beth back, she is beyond him now. Phillip is undeterred and Edmund tells him that Harley has moved on too and is now with his best friend. Phillip laughs at him and Edmund tells him that Rick Bauer is the one who fathered Harley's baby. Phillip thinks Edmund is twisted. Edmund leaves and Phillip has a flashback to when he talked to Rick. He remembers when Rick asked him if Harley told him the baby was his.

Edmund says to himself, he hopes Phillip is as miserable as he is.

At the Bauers':

Michelle is talking to Danny about his grandmother's testimony. Danny tells her that Maria will never change. Michelle tells him that at least the jury can see that someone other then Danny had a motive to kill Carmen. Danny tells her that it doesn't matter since he knows he is guilty. Michelle goes upstairs and brings the baby down. Danny is depressed and sees his son and tells Michelle that he thinks of him every moment of the day, he knows what is at stake. She tells him he can't give up hope just because of one crooked cop. Danny tells her that he felt this way before Gus came into the picture. What he did was a sin. His mother gave him life and he took hers away. He knows he did what he had to do to save his wife and child but no one should kill their mothers without consequences. He tells her that if the jury finds him guilty, it may be what he deserves. Michelle tells Danny that it was justifiable homicide. They have to be vigilant and maybe all the evidence is suspect. Danny asks her if she is saying the body may not even be Carmen's. Michelle tells him that is possible since Gus has already dummied up evidence. Danny tells her that isn't probably. Michelle says she should have thought of this before. If they can prove the body isn't Carmen's, Danny could go free.

At Harley's:

Rick and Harley come in and are talking about Lamaze class. He looks at the sonogram picture and is smiling. Harley tells him that she is also excited and their baby will have two parents that love him very much. Rick brings her tea and they practice a little more of their Lamaze. Sitting on the floor, someone knocks on the door and Rick and Harley yell out for them to come in. Phillip comes in and stares at them.
