In court, Erica pleads "not guilty" to the first-degree murder charges against her. However, Erica drifts off, having flashbacks of the events of the night of Frankie's death. After picking up the gun by Frankie's side, Erica noticed Bianca's locket. Erica picked up the locket and uttered her daughter's name. During her daydream, the judge presiding over the hearing had asked Erica if she understood the charges against her. Erica heard nothing because she was "distracted." Chris nudged his client and Erica quickly apologized for drifting off. "I am being charged with murder," she replies. As her flashbacks continue, Erica recalled opening the glove compartment of her car and taking out a gun, She later went to the boat house where she threw the gun in the water. After the boat house, Erica returned to her home and went to her closet where she had a lock box. She opened the box, found another gun and loaded it. At her desk she took some negatives and walks to the fireplace, where she sets them ablaze. Erica then took the locket and hid it in a flower arrangement above the fireplace. Erica headed back to Frankie's room where she picked up the phone and called Chris. Back in the present time, the judge set Erica's bail at $10 million. Chris tried to argue down the bail amount, but Erica said that she could cover her bail. The judge then informed Erica that upon making bail she would be fitted with a monitoring device and be limited to her home and office. Erica nodded in agreement. Jackson wanted to talk to Erica about Bianca and Erica agreed to speak with him. Jackson wanted to know who was going to take care of Bianca if Erica was convicted. Erica felt it wouldn't matter because she was innocent and would not be going to jail. Erica insisted that she did not kill Frankie Stone. "I wish I could believe you," Jackson replied.
Meanwhile Bianca showed up at Enchantment in Erica's office. Still upset about her mother's "confession," Bianca flipped out. She smashed bottles, thrashed around and cleared Erica's desk of all its paperwork. "I hate you, You killed her because I loved her. She wasn't like you and I'm not like you," Bianca sobbed. Leo and Greenlee entered the office, both of them half-dressed. Smirking, Greenlee chirps, "Erica's gonna have a cow, Should I call someone -- maybe Oak Haven?" Leo promptly tells her to leave. Bianca later told Leo that she wishes her dad was there so she could tell her dad she was gay. She said if he was still alive she would be in Seattle with him - "and none of this would have happened." Leo took Bianca into his arms as she cried "I'm the one who fell in love with her and I know she loved me too. That's why she died," Bianca sobbed.
Back in court, Erica tells Jackson that the reason he is going after her so hard is because he is still upset over the way she treated him. The implication was that Jack wasn't over her yet. Jackson walks out of the room. Erica alone in the courtroom looks skyward and says, "It's working. They all think I killed her. My baby is safe.""
