Bo and Sara meet Cord for lunch and she immediately suspects he wants to talk to about Roger and Viki. Cord admits that is the topic he wants to discuss, and he produces a photo of Viki and Roger from the press conference and Bo thinks it would be a good idea if The Banner didn’t publish the photo. Megan tells Max she is trying to be understanding, but she’s getting tired of him choosing Gabrielle over her. The judge asks Herb what the point of questioning Julia about her own alleged crimes is, and Herb says he intends to show she and her daughter are cut from the same cloth. Julia admits to having taken the goblet but says it was to pay for her daughter’s defense. During a recess, Brenda asks Michael if he plans to press charges against Julia, and he says the old Michael would have, but her influence on him must be a positive one because he’s in a forgiving mood. Jon excoriates Julia for the havoc she’s wreaked on his case. Gabrielle prepares to take the stand, and Jon advises Julia not to come back to the courtroom.

Renee and Asa argue about him getting them kicked out of the wellness retreat. Renee says the weekend wasn’t a total waste; she feels like the guru helped her realize what’s missing from her life: a baby. Larry is surprised to find Brenda at Gabrielle’s trial and even more annoyed to hear it was Michael’s idea that she leave Steven with a babysitter and come to court. As court is about to resume, Jon advises Gabrielle to tell the truth on the stand. She is still upset that Max isn’t there, but Julia tells her she’ll need to find the strength to do this on her own. Julia tells Debra she’s going to make herself scarce at Jon’s request (though she then stays in the courtroom), and asks her to stay strong for her sister. Debra asks whether the things Herb said were true and Julia obfuscates and avoids answering the question. At WVLE, the crew attempts to film Megan’s hot tub scene, but she is clearly distracted and keeps pushing her scene partner away. Max coaches her through it and her performance shows a marked improvement. Max gets a call from Jon who asks him to come to the court, and he agrees. After Max leaves Megan is upset and calls for Sarah. She says she doesn’t know what to do because she feels that Gabrielle is more important to Max than she is. Max enters the courtroom just as Gabrielle takes the stand .
