As Roseanne rushes off, Nora calls out to her, asking what she wanted to see her about but Roseanne claims to only be looking for Antonio as she thought he might be back in town. As she darts off, she runs into Senora Lena who has come to urge Roseanne to tell the truth. Hank thinks Nora is risking Sam's life if she's willing to depend on the jury and he wants to offer them a deal. He says that Lindsay's testimony was damaging and the evidence still points to Sam so he is willing to change the murder charge to one of manslaughter and if he pleads guilty, will give him 10-15 years jail time. Nora refuses the offer though Sam thinks maybe it is right. Nora claims to have a s! urprise witness, herself when she remembers everything, though she can't count on it yet. She won't allow him to leave her for 10 years and besides, Matthew needs his father and so does she. Sam appears touched and tells her she never told him how much his freedom meant to her before. They are reminded of a previous client in Chicago who took the same kind of deal and is already out, but Nora relates that the particular client was guilty, Sam is not. He's afraid to testify since he will damage his own cause by admitting that he killed Colin (though he thought he was really protecting Jen). He agrees not to take the deal. Just then, Nora has a flashback, hearing Colin's voice asking someone if they think they could really stop him. Outside of the courtroom, Senora advises Roseanne that the spirits are unhappy. When Roseanne cries that she will lose Antonio if she comes forward, the Senora orders her to tell the truth. At the same time that Nora has her flashback, Ros! eanne wants Senora away from her and Lena says she can't stop her. She's "unstoppable." Roseanne remembers Colin on the stairs, saying the same thing. Nora too, hears Colin say "unstoppable." She remembers!

Lanie tells Lindsay they're no longer sisters and leaves. Jenn, Will, and Cris then show up and Will and Jenn tell her they don't believe her. Cris then leaves before things get too ugly. Jenn then tells Lindsay that if she doesn't confess to killing Colin, Jenn and Will are going to Hank to tell him about Lindsay's part in Nora's abduction. Lindsay begs and pleads with them to believe her, but they leave to go tell Hank. When Lindsay is alone, her conscience comes to her once again in the form of Nora. Nora tells her to win back her children by confessing to the murder. Lindsay argues, saying she didn't do it, but "Nora" tells her that confessing might help her make up for her past crimes.

Outside the courtroom-Senora Lena is talking to Roseanne saying the same words Colin used right before he died.
