Everything is there fresh in front of her and she just doesn't know why she feels the way she does. She tells him she will be fine, she just needs some time. Lillian comes in with the telegram and obituary that states Bradley was a loved man who will be missed. Beth is upset and throws things across the room. There was no mention of any of the bad things Bradley did to anyone. Lillian apologized again to Beth and Beth tells her that she was just as much a victim. She closed herself off from love. They go over how Bradley hurt both of them so much and how they had to help each other. Lillian tells Beth that she prayed for the day Bradley would die so they could both be free. She is glad that he is dead but Beth thinks death is too good for him. She needed him to see that she is a survivor and not his victim. Phil tells her that he is gone and she doesn't need him to validate her, she needs to see herself. He tells her that everyone sees her as a wonderful woman but she can't see that in herself. Phil tells Beth if she wants to prove herself, she should go to Mexico, divorce Edmund and prove that no man controls her. Beth thinks Phil is being self-serving but he tells her that he just wants to help her. Beth tells Phil and Lillian that they are both very supportive but she needs sometime alone.

At the Courthouse:

Michelle wants to talk to Ross, but the judge tells them that there will be no more delays. Ross says that the Bauer's are a highly respected family, much different from the name Santos. Michelle tells him that the stigma of the Santos name follows them wherever they go. Michelle says it is her son's heritage and the name has no negative connotations for her. She tells the DA that not everyone with that name is bad. Ray is a priest; Danny is a good husband and father.

Michelle says a rock in self-defense and again Ross objects.

Danny jumps up and tells Doris to come after him instead of his wife. Gus tells Frank and Harley that Danny is making this too easy. Harley thinks Michelle knows something. Michelle mentions the body not being Carmen's and Doris asks Michelle if she is an expert witness to prove the body isn't Carmen's. DA Wolfe says all they have is her devotion to her husband and tells her to show her something else. Michelle holds up the dental file and says she does have proof and begs her to ask about these files. The DA tells the Judge that she isn't going to hear from Michelle that way.

There is a lot of talking in the courtroom and the judge adjourns for the day. Harley asks Gus what he did and he tells her that he is sure the body is Carmen's.

Michelle says she tried but Harley wouldn't listen. Michelle says Gus faked the evidence. Gus arrives and says his ears are burning. Ross says Gus was totally in charge so he is responsible for all the evidence. If he didn't switch the dental records, who did? Gus says it could have been anyone but the bullet is still from Danny's gun. He killed someone. Gus takes out a Cubs hat and puts it on. He tells them all while watching Danny that he is going to the Cubs game, box seat third base line. Unlike most people, he earned his tickets. Outside the courtroom, Harley confronts Gus about the dental evidence. Gus says they have a confession from Danny so they are still sitting pretty. Harley says he didn't kill his mother in cold blood and they don't have her body. Harley leaves, telling Gus to enjoy the game. Gus calls Peterson and tells him he got his transfer to the NY office. Peterson knows why Gus is calling him; he wants Peterson to keep his mouth shut about editing out the surveillance tape of his setting Danny up. Gus asks Peterson if he wants the transfer or not and Peterson says yes.

Back inside, Michelle, Danny and Ross are talking about the gun evidence. Ross says if they found Danny's gun it would help. Michelle says she thinks the gun isn't the only secret the lake has to offer. Meanwhile, at the lake someone is walking in wader boots holding a lantern and looking into the water off the docks.

Ross asks Harley what it would take to get the PD to investigate the evidence. Harley says this is the FBI's case. She still worries about the evidence and thinks it is time to put up or shut up. She calls the chief and he comes over to the courthouse. He meets her outside and she tells him about the evidence and that she wants to check the lake for Danny's other gun. The chief tells her it is the feds case. She wants the PD to reopen their case so if Danny did do it they can put him away or exonerate him if he was only protecting his wife. He tells her that he will call Gus if she wants him to but she stops him. She explains that someone is faking evidence and he finally tells her that he will get their divers out there.

Danny says the question is who was Gus before he was a fed? Michelle asks Danny if he knew Gus from Chicago, maybe even as a child. Danny tells her that when Gus was talking about the baseball game tonight, he thought he might. He tells her that his father took him to a lot of Cubs games as a kid. One time when he was 9 his father brought another kid with them to a Cubs game and they always sat on the 3rd base line. His father was nice to the kid and even gave the kid a foul ball that he had caught but the kid threw it back onto the field, not wanting it. His father told the boy "That's the last time I give you anything, Junior". Buzz overhears and says that makes sense. Danny asks Buzz what he is talking about.

He tells her that the file she found is probably what is going to get Danny acquitted. He hugs her just as Michelle and Danny come in and tell Ross that they believe Gus is really Miguel Santos Jr. Danny says Gus is the right age and he has a vendetta out for Danny. He probably has been looking for revenge his whole life. Michelle wants to nail Aitoro but Danny tells her they need proof. He tells Ross that he made a leap to this assumption because of a comment Gus made about a Cub's game that sparked a childhood memory. Ross tells them to slow down and he will take care of Gus.

In San Cristobel:

Olivia is upset and Josh is trying to reassure her. She is in tears and tells him that Cassie and the commission may find something that isn't exactly legal that she doesn't know about but they would blame her. Josh tells her that there is nothing to find so everything will be ok. Reva and Noah come in and have a seat. Cassie and Richard come in and they tell everyone that the Harbor Project passed inspection, no payoffs or dirty dealings, which is strange since that is the only project of Edmunds that wasn't dirty. Olivia is glad that it is over and smugly tells Cassie that some things were untarnished by Edmund. Josh says he is happy everything is okay and tells them all that Olivia has put a lot of hard work into this. Richard shakes Josh's hand and congratulates him. Reva looks skeptical. After everyone is gone, Cassie and Reva sit on the couch and are both stunned. They know Olivia is up to her eyeballs in trouble. They both want to nail Olivia and Vreeland along with Edmund. Reva tells her that they will and her having a blind sister is going to help out.

Olivia is on the phone with Vreeland asking how he cleaned up the books. He tells her he had nothing to do with it. She asks when he will pick up the cash and he tells her that he will send a messenger in 30 minutes and he will identify himself by asking her for a cigarette. Olivia tells Vreeland she will be waiting in the sitting room. She ends the call just as a maid comes in with a telegram from Alan telling Olivia that she owes him another one. He was the one that fixed the books. Olivia goes into the sitting room and Reva is sitting there. She tells Reva she wants to get in some work before lunch and offers to take Reva someplace else. Reva says that she is fine there. The messenger arrives and Olivia looks at the papers he brought, he tells her he needs a cigarette and she hands him the cash and he looks it over. She asks if there are any other instructions and he tells her that is it. Reva is paying close attention and notices the man threw some matches down when he left. Olivia offers to take Reva to her room to change for lunch but Reva says she will wait for Noah. Olivia leaves and Reva goes to pick up the matchbook. It was from a bar called "The Rusty Anchor".

In the Spaulding den:

Beth is packed for her trip to Mexico City. She tells Phillip that she never thought she would be one of those women with a hundred last names like Elizabeth Taylor but she may just go back to Raines and start anew now that Bradley is dead. Phillip remembers Beth Raines and tells Beth she was a sweet kid. Alan enters the room and tells Beth he was named executor of Bradley's will and the only thing he left was a letter to Beth. He holds it out to her and she insists that she wants no part of it. Alan tells Beth she should open the letter. She does and it was basically a confession of causing her and her mother so much pain and a deed to his only asset, some property in Colorado and a silver mine. Beth is furious and tells Alan that his stupid little land and mind would never make up what he did to her. She doesn't want anything of his; it would be accepting his apology. Alan says she should take it for the kids. She tells Alan to take care of it, she is going to play with the kids and then go on her trip. Phillip tells Alan that his kids don't need from that man. Alan thinks Phillip doesn't want Beth to be financially independent from him. Phillip says Beth doesn't need to be reminded of bad memories. Alan is glad Phillip is finally facing his feelings about Beth. Alan leaves and Phillip says sometimes even a house this big is not big enough. He looks again at the picture of he and Rick on the high school basketball team.

Rick is playing basketball and thinking of his son. Phillip comes out and asks to play with him. During their play, Rick and he argue a bit and Phillip accuses Rick of sleeping with his wife and then lying about it. Rick admits it and tells him that it was all a mistake. Rick tells Phillip that his problem is he is mad at the world and ticked off because he can't have everything. Phillip couldn't decide between Harley and Beth. Phillip asks if Rick was waiting in the wings for Phillip to make that decision. Rick says it wasn't planned but now he is going to be a dad and that is all he has left.

In the Courtroom:

Harley and Ross are talking about the divers finding Danny's gun in the lake. She is sure that proves Gus had something to do with a set up and Agent Peterson may be the key to bringing him down but he has been reassigned and is on his way to the airport as they speak. Ross tells her to go try to get him to come in and testify because they don't have time to get a warrant. Harley rushes to the airport. Ross tells Danny that they don't have any stalling tactics left so he will have to put Danny on the stand and start firing the big guns at Gus until Harley gets back.

When the judge reconvenes court Ross calls Danny to the stand and asks him about the exact positions of he, Michelle and Carmen on the docks. He handed Danny the gun in evidence and asked him to show the jury how he held the gun that night. Danny tells him that he cannot since that wasn't the gun he had. His gun was tossed into the lake after the shooting. DA Wolfe tries to argue but the judge overrules her objection. The judge reminds Ross that he is throwing some heavy accusations towards the prosecution and he had better be able to back them up. Ross assures him that he will be able to.

Meanwhile, at the airport, Harley tells Peterson they know Danny was set up. They found the gun and she found the splice in the tape that he doctored to hide where Gus had fired off the weapon himself. Peterson tells her that he isn't going to testify, he is on his way to NY and unless she has a subpoena she should leave him alone. She tries to reason with him but he isn't interested. Harley leaves, empty handed.

Back in court, Ross talks to Danny about the imminent danger to Michelle and his unborn child and asked if that is when he fired the gun. He also wanted to know why Danny threw the gun in the lake. Danny tells him that he thought he would be brought up on Murder One charges if the cops got hold of it. Ross shows Danny the registrations for two different guns. Danny says he shot his mother with his office gun; the other one was his gun for home. Ross addresses the jury and tells them that there are two different theories in the case, a tale of cold-blooded murder and one of self-defense. If they believe the latter they will have to rule Danny Santos not guilty and this verdict they will derive from the integrity of the evidence. Doris objects again and the Judge states again that Ross will have to prove the evidence has been tampered with. Other wise he will dismiss the jury and he will rule on his own. He asks Ross if he has a corroborating witness. Ross tells him he has and calls Harley to the stand. Harley isn't there yet and the judge has had it. He tells Ross to put another witness on the stand, rest his case or he will rule himself. Ross tries to buy for time but as the Judge is ready to end his case, Harley walks in and Gus looks nervous. Ross swears Harley in and asks her about where she was the night before. She tells him that she and a dive team were at the lake. They dived for the alleged gun and found it. They matched the serial numbers and the gun does belong to Danny Santos. Doris objects again. Just then Agent Peterson walks in and Harley tells Ross. Gus looks back at him and is very concerned. Ross tells the judge and jury that he has another witness that will present evidence that the FBI framed Danny Santos.
