At the Courthouse:
After Carmen dropped the bomb on Michelle killing off Mick there was sheer pandemonium in Springfield. Ross asked for a timeout and then questioned Michelle. Carmen tells Danny that she doesn't know who spilled the beans to the DA and apologized to him and Michelle for having to tell what she knew. Michelle tells Ross that there is no one who could corroborate her story and looks over at Drew. She tells him that there was a police report filed but Frank kept it quiet so she wouldn't be in danger from the Santos clan.
Jesse is begging Drew to tell the truth. She accuses him of thinking more about Michelle then her. He denies it and tells her that she needs to calm down and just do the right thing. Drew tells him that he must not give a darn about her or he would not ask this of her. She tells him that Carmen would kill her if she knew she helped to kill her demon spawn. She tells him that she knows she needs to do the right thing but what bothers her is that he is only worried about Michelle and who cares about Drew. He tells her that is not the case and she doesn't look convinced.
Danny asked Michelle what was up with her and Drew. She doesn't say anything and he tells her that she has to focus on herself and not anyone else.
Edmund tells Carmen that she put on a good show and that he witnessed it again. She tells him that what was done to her son was unforgivable. Carmen is fuming at Edmund.
David picks a fight with Frank and asks him why he buried this info. She tells Frank that he is not doing his job.
Carmen is back on the stand and Ross asks for a mistrial due to the prejudicial things that had came out. The judge denies it and asks the jury to disregard what Carmen had said. Ross doesn't know how they can possibly disregard that but has no leg to stand on. The judge will not grant a mistrial. Drew yells out that there is proof of it being self-defense and asked the Judge to hear her. Jesse tells her that he is proud of her and she tells him that there was never any question of her doing it, she was just upset that he doubted her and was so worried about Michelle and not her.
Drew takes the stand and tells the jury about the night Mick died. Michelle told Drew that she didn't have to tell anything but she said that this trial was about the truth and she had to tell what she knew. She told the jury that Mick was trying to rape Michelle and she hit him with a rock, he came after her and Michelle hit him again with a rock. She said it was in self-defense, "Michelle defended herself and she defended me too." The judge admits her testimony and adjoins for the day.
Danny wanted to know why Michelle didn't tell him that Drew was involved and she told him that she had to protect her. She apologizes to him and asks him if they can talk later. She goes over to Drew and thanks her. They hug.

Cassie is in the bed with measles. Richard brings her in some tea. She is getting cabin fever, upset because she is stuck up in her room away from everyone and everything. Richard tries to comfort her, massaging her shoulders, bringing her anything she wants, waiting on her hand and foot. Richard offers to get her anything in the world and she told him that he couldn't. She told him the one thing she wants in Buzz Cooper's Firehouse Chili and there is no way his cooks could duplicate it. Cassie is upset and realizes how much of a jerk she is and apologizes to Richard. She tells him that she is just really frustrated. Robin comes in with a visitor for Cassie. It's Jenny, the stripper friend of Cassie's. Cassie is elated to see her, to see anyone at this point. Jenny is glad that she already had the measles so they would let her through the quarantine. Jenny tells her that she quit working for Earl at the bar and took all her savings and got on a cruise. She said that she was going around to all these beautiful places and when the mood struck her she would get off the ship and make that place her home.
Richard leaves and tells Robin to look up a number for him in Springfield. She does and reports back to him in his office. He talks to Buzz and tells her how Cassie is homesick and she has the measles and all she can think of is his chili. He asks Buzz if he could come down there and talk to Cassie and maybe cheer her up a bit. Buzz said he and his chili would be there.
Cassie asks Jenny to stay there and work for her as one of her assistants. Jenny agreed and Richard came in. Cassie told Richard the news and Richard told Jenny that was great. He told her to go see Robin and she will assign her to her quarters and get her settled and then she could go ahead to bed for the night. Jenny left and Richard apologized to Cassie saying that he wanted to be alone for a little while with her. He tells her that since she and he met she has become his dearest friend and he cares so much for her. He goes over to the bed and turns it down for his ailing bride to be.

At the Church:
Carmen is cursing God and Drew. She is so angry about Drew having a part in killing Mick and she wants her dead. Pilar overhears a bit and tells her mom that she shouldn't keep such anger inside her. She should let it go and God will help her. They talk a bit and Carmen tells Pilar about Drew killing Mick with Michelle. Pilar tells her that Carmen has already gotten back at Drew with her part in the shooting of Drew's father. Carmen said that was an accident and what Drew and Michelle did was not. Pilar told her that she had to put herself in God's hands and trust in him. She told her that she asked for forgiveness and she received it. Then she started telling Carmen how Ben visits her on occasion and they talk and he has changed. He is very kind and forgiving and he will forgive Carmen too, if she would only ask. Carmen was getting very worried about her spirit seeing daughter and asked her not to mention this to Ray.

At Company:
Drew is mad at Jesse for caring more for Michelle than her. He denies it and she told him that she knows it's true. She said he cares for Michelle ten times more that her. She didn't understand why he jumped on her about having to tell about Mick's death. She was going to tell all along but he didn't even give her a chance, he just started telling her what she had to do for Michelle. She also doesn't understand why he is so sure Michelle is innocent and Jesse tells her that he knows her. He knows from the bottom of his heart that Michelle is innocent. Drew told him, "you mean from the bottom of Michelle's mother's heart." She says that Michelle and he have a bond much stronger then him and her but again Jesse denies it. He does admit that he feels he owes Michelle and her family but that is not why he believes she innocent. Jesse doesn't have any clue what to do to make Drew understand that he loves her, not Michelle.
Meanwhile, Selena and Buzz watch the two fight. Richard calls and asks Buzz to come see Cassie. Buzz doesn't think so. Richard offers him and Selena their own little hideaway vacation with all the perks. Selena said that she has to stay for the trial and Drew but that he should go. Buzz told him that he will come and Richard offered the vacation to him as soon as they both can get away. He accepted.

At the Bauers':
Danny is angry. He is slamming cabinets and not talking. Michelle asks him what was bothering him and he shot off about Mick and Drew and about Michelle believing Carmen told on purpose and was acting on the stand. Danny said that he wasn't sure if he could trust Michelle anymore especially after she told him that she was never going to tell him about Drew being there when Mick died. He blames her for trying to sabotage his family, said a lot of stuff he shouldn't and walked out of the house, slamming the door. Michelle goes after him and apologizes to him. He tells her that he is more any at himself. He said the testimony brought back so many memories about Mick and he hates the part of him that was responsible for what Mick had become. He told Michelle that they were raised to be ruthless and while he was supposed to be the intellect of the family, Mick was supposed to be the brute. He was violent, with drug and alcohol abuse and that was what was expected and he never stopped and told him that he didn't have to be that way. Michelle tells him that if he wants to talk about his brother she will listen. He tells of the Mick he knew and how different he was. The main thing was to Danny that he never got to say he was sorry to Mick for all the things that happened. He apologizes to Michelle and they kissed and made up.

He admits that he is a little homesick and would love to see his children but they don't even know about the new apartment yet. He shows her around the apartment and tells her about the big screen TV he is getting for he and Shayne to watch sports together. Then he realizes that he will have to schedule those things now. He feels like he won't be a real parent anymore. Olivia tells him that he just has to be there for them and the rest will take care of itself. Olivia wonders if Reva will tell the kids that she and Josh are getting back together but Josh is sure that she wouldn't use the kids as leverage.

He reaches over and touches her arm. She wakes up startled. She asked what he was doing and he told her that she called out his name and he was just seeing if she needed anything. She told him that she was dreaming about the wedding and kind of dodged any more conversation about that. Richard gets some pills for her fever but Cassie doesn't want them. She tells him she doesn't want him hovering over her. He says this isn't about what you want it's about what you need.

Buzz is waiting for Richard in a room with a pool table. He is playing around with the balls and asks Richard to play a game with him. He tells him that the chili is cooking and they will play for a meager $20 a game. Richard tells Buzz that he hasn't played in a while and may be a little rusty. He goes at it all wrong and Buzz has to teach him how to play all over. Richard learns to play quick and wins the game. Buzz called him a hustler and Richard agreed that he did, in fact hustle him.
He said that he had learned to play years ago and was quite good at it. The messenger comes in and tells Richard that Cassie was resting but he did deliver the flowers. Buzz talks to Richard and tells him that if he didn't know better he would swear Richard was in love with Cassie. Richard talks to him about Selena. Buzz told him the dumbest thing he ever did was let his pride get in the way of admitting his feelings to her. Richard told Buzz that he was right and he needed to tell Cassie a few things. He went to Cassie's room and goes in. He sees the room is empty and called out for her.
Cassie is outside she notices the gardens. She thinks again about the flowers and wonders how Richard knew they were her favorites. She placed the flowers on the steps, walks a little way and collapsed.

At the Courthouse:

She claimed that Frank helped bury evidence because Michelle was a close friend of his. The judge questions Frank and then David. David tells him about how Frank let Michelle and Danny be together on Christmas Eve. The Judge denied any more evidence about Mick being brought in as evidence about this case. He also recommended Frank be suspended from the department.
The court reconvenes and Ross tells Michelle what happened. She feels very bad about Frank being in trouble because of her. Ross asks who the DA's last witness will be. He tells her that the prosecution always keeps their strongest witness for last. They look over the witness list but Michelle cant figure out who is could be.
The DA calls Rick to the stand. She questions Rick about the time he committed Michelle to the hospital psych ward. He tried to explain that his sister was in danger and he was trying to protect her.

The DA begins questioning Carmen about her daughter-in-law and Carmen really puts on the show. She acts like Michelle is so wonderful and she loves her to death. She tells the jury how much Michelle has helped her since Ben died and how much the family counts on her. She seems to be defending Michelle, saying that any problems they had were petty. The D.A. asks her about Mick and Michelle's part in his death. Carmen appears shocked and tries to look like she is avoiding the question. The DA insists that Carmen tell them what she knows.
