"At Erica's house, Opal is worried though Erica appears deceptively calm. Opal understands that Erica is sacrificing herself for her daughter's sake, but she is concerned what will happen when Bianca remembers that she was the one who killed Frankie. Erica tells her that when and if Bianca remembers, no one will believe her. Everyone will think Bianca is trying to save her mother. Erica believes that Bianca's memories may be buried forever when they are replaced with hatred for Erica killing the woman she loved.
Opal frets about having to testify. She is afraid Jackson will ask her if Erica ever confessed to killing Frankie. Chris goes over her testimony and assures Opal that as long as she tells the truth as she knows it, everything will be fine.
Jackson is at the courthouse preparing for the trial. He must come to terms with the question of how he can possibly put Erica in prison. He decides that he must, because it is his job as a prosecutor.
The trial begins with an opening statement from Jackson. He sums up the chain of events leading to Frankie's death and paints Erica as a mother who killed to protect her daughter from a disastrous relationship. Next, Chris gives the point of view of the defense. He brings up Frankie's character and the fact that her lifestyle produced many enemies. Both Jackson and Chris give convincing arguments. Jack then calls Vanessa as his first witness.
Vanessa puts on quite a performance as the grieving aunt, and bravely describes her niece as an innocent child. She tearfully recounts Erica's threats on Frankie's life. Chris attempts to refute her testimony. He accuses Vanessa of using Frankie's murder as an excuse to vent her hatred of Erica. Vanessa remains adamant that Erica is guilty and must be punished.
Bianca is at the Wildwind stables trying desperately to remember the events of the night Frankie was killed. Leo comes in and together they discuss what Bianca must do to come to terms with her lack of memories. Leo also brings Bianca the book of sonnets that Frankie gave her. As Bianca leafs through the book, she begins to remember something. As she starts to tell Leo about it, they are startled by a noise outside the stables. Someone is watching them.
Edmund and Brooke are having a blissful morning in bed at Wildwind. They are interrupted by a phone call from Bianca telling them that there may be a prowler on the grounds. Bianca and Leo then leave the stables for the courthouse. Shortly afterwards, a figure enters the stables. All that can be seen are some fashionable, high-heeled, leather boots walking around. The mystery person then can be seen picking up Bianca's riding hat."
