Christine tells Danny about Nina and how she might be paralyzed but no onehas told her about that yet. She then tells about her visit to New York andhow she found out that Phyllis was seen in Sasha's office about the sametime as the first paternity test, and that she was a computer whiz whomight know how to change the results on the computer. They discuss Sasha'smanuscript and lament that they don't have a copy. Chris also tells himabout Paul's meeting with Brian and Phyllis' suspected interference. Chriswarns Danny that if Brian was to find out that he's Daniel's father, hemight get involved in the custody case too, and then Danny really wouldn'thave a leg to stand on in court. Danny says he needs to think about thisone for a while.

Meanwhile, Paul calls the lab and asks if they still have a blood samplefrom the second paternity test. He asks for a special toxic test to be doneon Brian's sample, and they have no problem heeding his request. Whilewaiting for the results, he explains to Lynne that he's going with a hunch.

Victoria continues to tell Nikki that she has everything under control inher marriage, but Nikki is outraged that Cole has a woman down at the tackroom. She accuses Cole of having an affair while Victoria was out of town,and chastises her for being gone so long.

Ashley is all for it until he mentions something about them beinggood friends. "We're more than just good friends," she says. She plants along kiss on his lips and tells him to think about that for a while beforeleaving.

Tricia is standing in the room when Ryan calls Jill and tells her that he'sbeen arrested. He asks her to contact John Silva for him and she promisesto do so. Tricia gets on the phone but he can't talk for long. He asks herto keep her mouth shut the next time the police start asking questions, andto promise not to tell them anything without a lawyer present. Triciaswears she didn't say anything incriminating, but Ryan is told to hang up.He shudders as he hears the cell door slam.

Chris comes to Paul's office and he tells her about the test that heordered. His friend at the lab calls back and tells him his hunch pannedout -- Brian's blood had high traces of tranquilizers in it. Chris and Paulrealize that Brian has no idea that he could be Daniel's father, let alonethat he even gave blood for a paternity test.

Jill puts in a call to John Silva but he's in court and can't be reachedyet. Tricia says she must run to Ryan's side as he needs support but Jilldemands that she stay away from him. She tries to explain that she'll makematters much worse for Ryan if she's seen at the jail, but Tricia justdoesn't get it. Jill explains that the cops think she's the other woman ina homicide attempt, but Tricia thinks that as long as she knows the truth,nothing else matters. Jill tries to tell her to wake up and smell thecoffee, but Tricia insists that Ryan needs someone that loves him with him,and bolts out the door before she can stop her. As Tricia leaves, Johncalls back and Jill tells him the scenario.

Det. Wylie and Bates go to see Nina and ask for her cooperation. They hoverbeside her bed as the doctor examines her, then tell her that they want herto tell them everything she can. Nina says she will, but isn't sure whatshe remembers. They ask her a few questions but when she swears she doesn'tremember anything, it leaves them to wonder if she's telling the truth orhiding something.

Phyllis goes to Michael's office and they steam things up for a while. Shegives him a gift -- a letter opener, and they make weird comments about itsuses. They discuss the case and Michael tells Phyllis that Christine is agood lawyer but not a magician. "She'll need hard evidence to use againstyou in court if she plans to win," he says. Phyllis tells him about herphone call to Brian and how she interrupted Paul's visit. She also assureshim that she's left no stone unturned in covering her butt.

Tricia arrives at the jail and demands to see Ryan. She explains to thesergeant that he has no family -- except his wife and son -- and he needs herbadly right now to arrange a lawyer and care for his son. The sergeant asksif Ryan asked her to come, but Tricia says she's all he's got. "He needs meto find him a lawyer but I don't know who to call so I have to ask him whatto do," she explains lamely. Finally, she's let in but is reminded there'sno physical contact allowed. A guard watches over them as Tricia rushes toRyan's cell. She tells him that she wants to help him in any way that shecan, but Ryan tells her the best way is to just stay away from him. Asshe's apologizing, John Silva marches in and tells the guard to escortTricia out. Tricia looks at Ryan with her puppy dog eyes hoping he'll sayshe can stay, but when he doesn't she rushes out in tears. John tells Ryanto tell him everything. Ryan explains that it's quite simple. He didn'tshoot Nina, he was trying to save her life. He tells John that if he'd justexplain that to the police for him, there'll be no need to go to court.John looks at him incredulously as he assures him he'll be having his dayin court................
