At SOS, Mateo walks up to Greenlee and asks her how Vanessa was acting the night before. She tells him that Vanessa was acting postal, because she was waiting for her boyfriend to come. She was trying to push her out the door right around 7. Mateo thinks back to the night before, and remembers Proteus calling late, and saying that it was off. Greenlee tells him about her boyfriend, and what happened to Leo. He wonders why Vanessa would hang out with a guy like that, and Greenlee reminds him about Paulo. She said that Vanessa has a dangerous taste in men. Before they continue, Vanessa walks up. She had been paranoid that they were talking about her, so she walked up to put a stop to it. She tells Greenlee to quit trying to sabotage her singing career. Greenlee laughs and asks, "Are you on drugs?" While Mateo watches, Vanessa stammers and said she doesn't even take aspirin. She tells them that she's always dreamed of a singing career. Leo and Greenlee laugh, and tell her to keep dreaming. She turns to Mateo and apologizes for their behavior. She asks for some time alone with Leo. Greenlee and Mateo leave. She turns back to them and tells them she's been acting a little off. Leo tells her to be a little more realistic about her dreams; People aren't that interested in hearing her sing. Greenlee had enough and leaves Vanessa and Leo to continue their conversation. Leo asks her why she hasn't left town yet, like she normally does when the jig is up. She tells him that she needs him to come with her. She has a plan that will allow them to live comfortably anywhere they want. Leo reminds her about Greenlee, and says that he's already comfortable. Vanessa tells him to think hard before he gives up his life. Greenlee returns, and prepares to leave with Leo. Leo tells Vanessa that she's on her own. Vanessa asks him if he's leaving her, too.

Back at SOS, Mateo tells Simone about his suspicion. He says Vanessa could be Proteus, and he tells her about all the clues. He says that she might be asking for a job just so she, as Proteus, could keep tabs on him. Simone seems unsure, and Mateo concedes that she could just be an accomplice. He decides to test her, and he offers a tryout to sing. Vanessa is ecstatic, and Simone asks him why he did that. He privately tells her that it's so he could keep tabs on Proteus. Meanwhile, Vanessa tells herself what her first song is going to be, "A little funeral dirge, Greenlee Smythe's swan song."
In the courtroom, Bianca repeats her thought, "You didn't kill her, because...," but Erica prevents her from completing her sentence. The judge asks Erica to sit down. Chris has Bianca start over, and she walks through what she remembers. She remembers turning Frankie over, and seeing the blood on her shirt. She remembers the butterfly, and the locket that was being clutched in her hand. Chris asks her if this was the same locket that was found in Erica's house. Bianca says, "Yes." She then puts the mystery together and realized that Erica couldn't have killed Frankie. The locket was in her house when she was arrested, because she apparently took it when she killed Frankie. However, Frankie was holding it when Bianca saw her dead body. Therefore, Erica couldn't have killed her. "You didn't kill her mom. You didn't kill Frankie." Erica tells her that she is confused. Bianca asks her why she would confess when she didn't kill her. Judge Pearson informs Bianca of her rights, and says she doesn't have to say anything else. Now, Bianca is confused, and can't understand why she has to worry about her rights. Then Bianca screams that she realizes what Erica did. "You lied because I killed Frankie!" Kendall, who had walked in a few minutes before, screams "Liar!" She accuses Bianca of lying the whole time to protect Erica. Erica's just playing her. Bianca tells Kendall that it was she who was played by Erica. Erica knew that Kendall would help her get convicted if she called her. Kendall says that it isn't true, and asks Erica to confirm it. Erica doesn't answer, however. Chris asks Kendall be removed, but Ryan stands up to defend her. The judge orders both Kendall and Ryan be removed from the courtroom.
Outside the courtroom, Kendall blames Ryan for getting them kicked out. He tells her that she's just bitter, because Erica beat her. She asks him why he's there. How could he hate Chris nearly as much as she hates Erica? She then tells him to go to hell, and stalks off. After she leaves, Ryan pulls the picture out of his wallet, and looks at the inscription on the back.
Back in the courtroom, Chris continues his questioning of Bianca. She walks through the night one more time, and Chris asks her if she hated Frankie enough to kill her. Erica tries to interrupt again, but Bianca says that she has to remember. She remembers arriving after Frankie was dead and says, "I couldn't have killed Frankie." When she left the house that night she drove away and didn't look back. Chris ends his questioning, and Jack says he has no questions. Neither man wished to amend their closing arguments, and the judge releases the jury to deliberate one more time. He then recess the court. Chris packs up and leaves without saying a word to Erica. Erica watches Opal lead Bianca out into the hall. She asks for Bianca, but Bianca looks back without stopping.
Back in her hotel room, Kendall is carrying a pint of hard liquor and cursing out her mother and Bianca. She then passes out on her bed, unaware that a cigarette is still burning on her desk.
Out in the hallway, Chris walks past Ryan, and Ryan stops him. Chris asks him why he's there, and Ryan says he just came down to see if Chris is really the "skank" he thought he was. His thoughts were confirmed when he saw him harassing a high school student on the witness stand. Chris says, "Don't!" and walks away.
Palmer approaches Opal in the hallway outside the courtroom, and asks her if she knew what Erica was doing the whole time. Opal says she did, and tells him that she doesn't care what he has to say about it. He tells her, however, that he's proud of what she did.
Erica remains in the courtroom, and hopes that Bianca will return. After some urging from Myrtle, Bianca walks back into the courtroom. Erica walks up to her and says that she's so happy, because they are both innocent. Soon, the jury will return with a not-guilty verdict and they can go home. She moves to hug her, but Bianca puts her hand up. "Stay away from me!" she says.
Ryan returns to his room, and sees smoke coming out from underneath Kendall's door. He moves toward her door, screaming her name. Inside the room, Kendall remains passed out with smoke surrounding her."
