   MONDAY        AUGUST      18TH    
   COURTESY      LAUREEN    

As Michael was getting booked on rape charges and denying any crime, Anna and Erica were in Anna's office breaking the news to Jack that Bianca had been the one who'd been raped. After getting over his initial shock, he became angry and bust out of the office. He went after Michael, saying, "You're dead!" Anna and some officers held him back, as Michael tried to inflame the situation even more. Anna ordered some officers to remove Michael from the room, and then reminded Jack that his knee-jerk reaction is just what Michael was counting on to get himself released. Jack demanded to see the case file, and Anna went to get it. Then Jack went to Erica and held her as she cried. He assured her he'd get justice for Bianca. Erica confessed that she completely understood why he'd lashed out at Michael, as whenever she closed her eyes, she imagined herself strangling him. Jack replied that they couldn't allow themselves to be poisoned by their hatred of Michael, and they needed to be there for Bianca. Jack suddenly realized that Erica had tried to tell him about the rape before, but he hadn't let her. She told him she had learned that as much as they loved each other, Jack could never trust her. Jack said this wasn't the time for that sort of talk, but she continued. She said she couldn't count on him either and she'd have to see Bianca through this on her own. Jack took exception to this and said he'd do anything for Bianca. They embraced again, and Jack apologized for not listening to her when she tried to tell him about the rape. He declared, "Whatever I have to do for Bianca, I'll do it." He questioned why Bianca had kept the rape a secret, and Erica explained that she didn't want to ruin their wedding.

Anna arrived with Bianca's statement, and Jack read it over as Erica looked on. He told them they virtually had no case with only a statement from the victim. He speculated that Michael could walk free. He explained that since Bianca had cleaned up the crime scene and burned her clothing, there were no photos of the scene, and since she hadn't sought medical help, there was no rape kit. Without further evidence, it's was Bianca's word against Michael's. Anna said they couldn't drop the charges without jeopardizing other criminal cases against Michael, but Jack said he had no intention of dropping the charges. He declared he would build a solid case, and they decided to go talk to Bianca.

At Michael's, Kendall fantasized about Michael coming home to be bitten by the poisonous snake she'd left on his couch. Aidan woke her from her trance and demanded to know why she was in Michael's apartment. She refused to tell him, so he parked himself on the couch, and Kendall gasped. She agreed to leave if he came with her, and as he started to get up, he found the snake and killed it. He questioned Kendall's intelligence, and she assured him the crime would never have been traced back to her. She was adamant that Michael needed to pay with his life for raping her sister. Aidan tried to reason with her that she needed to leave it to the police. Unsuccessful, he made her promise to drop her vendetta or he would handcuff himself to her. To prove his point, he pulled a pair out of his pocket, and Kendall told him she would not try to kill Michael again.

Bianca descended the stairs at Myrtle's into Lena's arms. They both wore rings, as their friends wished them well. But alas, this was just a fantasy Lena had concocted in her head as she waited for Myrtle. She snapped out of it when Myrtle arrived. She begged Myrtle for any information about Bianca. She explained that she'd backed off from Bianca, but she couldn't give up on her. Myrtle seemed like she might tell when Boyd came in with a police officer. The detective gave Myrtle a search warrant and said they needed to look for evidence, since the house was a crime scene. Myrtle complied but was horrified as she gradually realized the rape had occurred in her boarding house. Boyd and Lena demanded to know what was going on. Myrtle finally told them a crime had been committed against Bianca: rape. Angry, Boyd kicked a bench, while Lena ran off.

Asleep on Erica's sofa, Bianca woke from another nightmare about Michael. Maggie came to check on her, and Bianca told her she could no longer take the sedatives David had prescribed, as they made her dreams more vivid and real. She said she would just not sleep at all. Maggie told her Michael had been arrested, but instead of relief, Bianca dreaded all the questions she would have to answer again. She said she hated putting her mother through this, that Erica had already been through all of this with her own rape. Maggie assured her she was doing the best thing for both mother and daughter, by speaking out and reclaiming her life. After Maggie's pep talk, David arrived to take Bianca to the hospital for a complete physical. Bianca didn't want to go, but Maggie said she'd stay with her through it.

In the exam room, a nurse gave Bianca a paper gown. Maggie came in with some beverages, but Bianca decided she wasn't thirsty. Maggie helped her undress and put on the gown, and David came in for the exam. Trying to distract Bianca, Maggie suggested the two of them take a trip to Australia, so she could show Bianca what a fine surfer she was. David finished and said he'd be back to talk with her, but Bianca did not want to wait. "Am I okay?" she asked. David sent blood samples to the lab and assured her they'd go over everything once the results came back. Once he left the room, he leaned on the door and asked himself, "How the hell am I going to tell her this?"

Lena arrived at Erica's and knocked on the door. Getting no answer, she begged through the door to see Bianca. She said she knew about the rape and just wanted to see Bianca's face. Increasingly frantic at the silence on the other side, she continued to beat on the door and beg, crying that she loved Bianca.

   TUESDAY       AUGUST      19TH    
   COURTESY      JANE WARREN    

Ryan endeared himself to Alexander once again by bringing him a T-shirt that read "I went to Vegas and all I got was a myocardial infarction". Alexander was ready to be released from the hospital in the next day or two and handed Ryan a piece of paper and asked him to get the message to Michael right away.

Juan Pablo went to visit Michael in jail and promised to make him wish he'd never been born. They sparred and Michael referred to him as Zorro and heaped insults about Argentina. Juan Pablo warned him to stay away from the Fusion women and Michael smugly told him he owns them, all bought for $500K. Juan gave him evidence of repayment of the money, but Michael remained convinced that he was fused with Fusion, for good. Michael suggested he talk to his attorneys and find out he's been outplayed. Michael protested his innocence about the rape and said that women throw themselves at him although he was also grateful that he'd never shared his bed with any of Juan's tortilla twirling sisters. Juan threatened Michael and promised they were not finished.

At Erica's penthouse, Lena talked to Erica and Jack. Erica told her it was not a good time to see Bianca and Jack agreed. Just then, Bianca, Maggie and David came in. Lena rushed up to talk to her, but Bianca said she couldn't talk. Jack gently suggested that Lena just give Bianca time and promised to not let Michael hurt another woman. Maggie offered to talk to Lena if Jack wanted to be with Erica and Bianca. Lena and Maggie argued about Bianca. Maggie wanted Lena to give her time, but Lena wanted to help Bianca right away. Maggie insisted on giving Bianca time to heal, at her own pace, since they can't know how she feels. Maggie promised to let Lena know as soon as Bianca is ready to talk to her, and even to drive them to Vermont for a commitment ceremony when they are ready. They both commented that they'd like to see Michael dead.

Erica asked David about the exam and he said he had proof of heterosexual penetration. There was no additional evidence to substantiate a rape claim. David promised to go over the other results as soon as the blood tests were back.
Jack talked to David about Greenlee and went to see Bianca in her room. He apologized for not protecting her from Michael and asked if she could let him help her. Bianca said she did not feel safe from Michael and that she had prayed to die after the attack. Jack asked her again if there was anything else she could remember and she said that she'd felt so dirty and ashamed and had cleaned up everything. She finally thought of the lemonade he drank and that he threw the glass and broke it.

Erica called Alexander and told him about Michael's recent arrest and the rape. Alexander seemed to be having another heart attack, but turned out to be fine. Ryan was horrified to learn that Michael had raped Bianca. Alexander demanded the truth from Ryan, about how he knows Miss Kane. Ryan admitted he used to live in Pine Valley and might go back. Alexander asked if Ryan to go back soon to deal with Michael. Ryan thought it was a satisfying idea and he might enjoy seeing some people he thought he'd forgotten.

Jack and Erica talked and Jack tried to tell Erica about the reality that defense attorneys would be able to make it look like consensual sex, given the lack of evidence. Lena had an affair with Michael; therefore Bianca may have wanted to too. Jack was worried because they had no proof that Bianca had sex with Michael, whether by choice or by force. Erica insisted they could win at trial, but Jack said he needed more, maybe even a miracle to keep Michael from going free again. Bianca overheard everything and sank to the floor.

The Fusion women were grateful to Juan Pablo for helping them with Michael and also terribly excited about a huge order from a department store chain that put them in the top five of cosmetics companies. Kendall and Greenlee agreed to stop quibbling over family and whose life was worse since neither had suffered as much as Bianca recently. David came in to visit Greenlee and was pleased to find her so happy about the big order. As he left, Juan Pablo came in and the women were grateful to him about repaying Michael. He warned them about Michael's confidence and wanted to read the loan agreement from Michael. Since Simone thought the money was from Liza, she hadn't read the fine print. Juan Pablo told them that Michael now owns Fusion.

A guard brought Michael a fax from his father. It simply read "you are dead to me".

   WEDNESDAY       AUGUST      20TH    
   COURTESY      JANE WARREN    

Edmund woke Maria after an all night study session. She panicked about not being ready for the medical exams today. She asked Dr Joe for a delay and to take the test next time. Joe cautioned her that it might take a year to reschedule. Maria decided to go ahead. Edmund paced the floor, waiting for her return and she came back exhausted. They anxiously waited for results together. Dr Joe came in and announced that he didn't see any errors in his quick review, but they still had to wait for the formal results. Dr Joe predicted she'd be seeing patients again within a month.

The Fusion babes were upset to realize that Michael owns their company. Kendall commented that as long as Michael is breathing, nothing can stop him. Juan Pablo talked to his lawyer, looking for a loophole. The gals fought about Simone's mistake and Kendall's relationship with Michael. Kendall left in a huff and Simone resigned and stomped out. Juan told the others that they could contest the agreement in court. Greenlee left to discuss their case with the DA. Once alone, Mia wanted her turn with Juan Pablo, for Greenlee. Even though Greenlee won the bet, Mia asked Juan to be careful with her and her feelings, given her many sorrows in the past year. Juan complimented her friendship to Greenlee and asked about her year and broken heart, but Mia did not want to change the subject. She warned him against seducing and dumping Greenlee. Juan insisted they were just friends. Juan guessed that she had lots of bad experiences with men if she was so ready to think the worst.

Simone went to see Carlos at the Gallery and lamented her propensity to destroy everything, including friendships. Carlos tried to cheer her up and reminded her that she can do whatever she sets her mind to. She gladly told him she could fall for him again, like Greenlee fell for Juan Pablo. She sensed his discomfort and apologized for reminding him of Greenlee. Carlos said he was over it, but had to get back to work.

Palmer met Kendall in the park and was relieved to hear that Kendall was not Michael's victim. Palmer was stunned to learn about Bianca and listened as Kendall asked for his help in putting Michael out of everyone's misery. Palmer was confident that Jack would put Michael away, but Kendall continued to express her concerns about Bianca emotionally and wanted to spare her the agony of a trial. Kendall proposed that Palmer provide her a gun so she could kill Michael. Palmer refused, but promised to take care of Michael while leaving her out of it, saying he hasn't always been a kindly old gentleman.

At Erica's, Bianca talked to herself in the mirror about starting to live again. Reggie came over to cheer her up and get to know her. He was very sympathetic and brotherly; they bonded while discussing the aborted wedding and Greenlee. Reggie predicted nausea if he had to sit across from Greenlee at Thanksgiving dinner. The joked about junk food and schemed to bring Jack and Erica back together. They planned to drop Jack and Erica on a deserted island, with designer shoes and accessories for Erica, and wait two months before visiting themselves, with a minister, and airdropping Greenlee and Mary onto another island where they could destroy each other. They decided to also send in a man they could fight over so Greenlee and Mary wouldn't join forces to survive.

Jack's new assistant, Justin, expressed his concerns to Jack about being able to convict Michael. Jack snapped at him and also at Anna, suggesting she keep police at Myrtle's until they do find evidence. Michael and his lawyer came to Jack's office and were surprised to hear Jack offer to let him go. Jack did not plan to drop charges, but the deal was that if Michael would plead guilty to rape, Jack would drop the burglary and assault charges. Jack said he had fibers to prove Michael was at Myrtle's. Michael admitted being there, to listen to Myrtle's colorful carnival lore. Jack also offered to let Michael serve his other sentence, if convicted for corporate crimes, concurrent with his sentence for rape. Or else he risked consecutive sentences, on all possible charges. Michael refused the offer and was walking out when Greenlee stormed in, threatening to see him in the morgue before he would get her company. Jack asked everyone else to leave and talked to Greenlee, who was shocked and sad to learn things weren't going well with Bianca's case. Jack asked about her company and Greenlee told her she had a hotshot attorney looking out for her and Bianca needs him now. She pumped him up and assured him he'd be able to get to Michael, just like he'd gotten through to her about the father-daughter thing. Justin came in and told Jack the judge wants to see them right away. Jack kissed Greenlee on the forehead before walking out.

Back at the Fusion office, Greenlee and Juan Pablo talked and Mary walked in. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Juan Pablo. Greenlee took Juan's hand and told Mary she had nothing to say to her and walked out.

Jack went to Erica's and told Bianca that he was unable to get Michael to take the deal and avoid a trial. Reggie looked as disappointed as Bianca. Bianca said she was ready to take the stand, with a few months of preparation. Jack told her the judge asked for a preliminary hearing, to see if there's enough evidence to go to trial, and it was scheduled for the morning.

   COURTESY      DONNA FIRMENT    

Mary continued to torture Greenlee with her pleas of forgiveness. Greenlee told her mother that in no uncertain terms would she have anything to do with her again. Mary didn't want to believe that was true. Greenlee told her that it was true. Mary insisted that she would've told Greenlee sooner if Erica hadn't black mailed her. Greenlee wasn't convinced. She told Mary that their whole relationship was built on lies. Mary told Greenlee that she was worried about her the whole time she was missing. Greenlee said by the sound of the message that Mary had left on her cell phone it sounded more like she was annoyed. Mary denied that she was annoyed and said she was really concerned. Greenlee wouldn't buy it. She told her mother that she had enough and went to the elevator to leave. Mary pleaded for Greenlee to help her keep Erica and Jack apart. Greenlee told Mary that she wouldn't help her do anything of the kind that she would see to it herself that Mary stays away from Jack. Mary told Greenlee that Erica wouldn't let Jack have a relationship with her. Greenlee informed Mary that Jack already said he wants a relationship with her and that Erica wouldn't stop him. She also told Mary that Erica won't give Jack up and that would serve Mary right. Greenlee got into the elevator and said she was leaving with Mary calling out for her.

Kendall was sitting in the park when Juan Pablo came up to her and asked why she was there. Kendall told him that she wanted to go to the trial but she was sure Bianca wouldn't want her there. Kendall asked if he remembered the first time they met. He said he did that it was right in the same spot. She told him it was the night after Bianca was raped. She said that it was her fault because she brought Michael to Pine Valley. She told him that she found Bianca in the park with a match over the garbage can. She told Bianca that she was acting weird. Then she told Juan Pablo about telling Bianca how she helped Erica get over being raped and how painful that must've been for Bianca. She blamed herself for not seeing that Bianca was in real pain. Juan Pablo told her that it wasn't her fault. He told her that she was part of the family and that she needed to be there for Bianca.

Ryan stopped by the hospital room to see Alexander. Alexander was pleased to see him and said he was glad that Ryan stopped by before he left. The television was on in the room when Alexander went into the bathroom to get his watch Ryan saw that trial tv was in Pine Valley to televise the preliminary trial for Michael. Ryan turned it off with Alexander questioning him as to why. Ryan changed the subject telling Alexander that he should go sign his release papers so that he could get out of the hospital. Alexander said he had already taken care of all of that. He also handed Ryan a check. Ryan tried to refuse it but Alexander insisted that he take it saying he earned it. Ryan thanked him telling Alexander "at least it won't break you." Alexander chuckled. He also told Ryan that he wanted to offer him a job working in his company. Alexander said that he knew Ryan didn't hate money. Ryan told him that he loved money it's just that he wasn't cut out for the corporate thing. Ryan jokingly told him that if Alexander wanted to offer him the CEO position then he'd take it. Alexander laughed and told him he'd have to think about that and let him know. Ryan told him that the limo was probably waiting. Alexander told Ryan that the limo had a television as well so he might as well tell him what was on. Ryan told him that Michael's trial was going to be on. Alexander leaned over the bed as though his chest was hurting again. Ryan asked if he needed the nurse. Alexander said no and asked him to turn the television on. He told Ryan it was the price he had to pay for bringing Michael into the world. Ryan obliged and turned the tv on.

Jack arrived at the penthouse to talk to Bianca. He informed Bianca that the trial would be televised. Bianca was shocked. She told Jack that she wasn't going. Maggie told Bianca that what ever she decided to do would be okay but she really should go testify against Michael. Maggie told Bianca that it would show Michael how strong she was and that she wasn't going to let him win. Jack also told her that he'd support what ever decision she makes but he would like her to testify. Bianca said that it wasn't the cameras it was seeing Michael, being in the same room with him and he'd be staring at her. Jack said he'd be with her every step of the way. Bianca agreed to testify and went to get dressed. Myrtle arrived and asked Jack what if she got on the stand and said she saw him running from the house that she came back earlier than she said that she forgot because she blacked out after finding that Bianca had been raped but now she remembered. Jack told her no because people would be able to place her at SOS after the incident. She told Jack she could be convincing. Jack told her that he knew she could be but they have to do this the right way. Moments later Bianca came out dressed and ready to go.

David was on his cell phone yelling at some one to find the test results and to call him when they found them. Anna walked in the court room over hearing David. He told her that the lab lost Bianca's blood tests. He told Anna that he told them to find them because he didn't want to put Bianca through another examination the first one had been tough enough on her. Anna asked David what he was going to say. David said that he shouldn't have told her that he was going to fabricate anything. Anna told him that she wanted him to tell the truth. She told him that it was her fault because she was angry and instead of waiting until they had more evidence she arrested Michael and if the judge doesn't think they have enough then they may not be able to have another trial for Michael. David tried to assure Anna that she was doing her job but she wouldn't listen to him she told him she may have blown it, that all they can do is tell the truth and leave it up to Jack and Bianca.

Kendall arrived to the court room and was looking around when she saw that Mia walked in and thanked her for being there. Moments later Aidan arrived and asked why she was there. Kendall looked at Juan Pablo then back to Aidan and said that a friend convinced her that she was family and that she belonged there. Then she told Aidan that he could hold her hand if things got bad. Simone and Carlos walked into the court room. Mia and Kendall saw her and wondered why she was there. Juan Pablo saw Carlos and went over to whisper something to him and walked out of the room with Tad watching the whole thing. Moments later Carlos walked out and Juan Pablo asked him what was he thinking! He asked Carlos if he saw the camera's and said if you are seen they will come and kill you. Tad was listening around the corner. Simone went out to look for Carlos, she couldn't find him at first but he walked up to her and said that he had to leave, that Stuart had called and needed him at the gallery. He asked Simone to call him and tell him what happened when it was over. Simone walked back inside and over to Mia and Kendall. She told them that they probably didn't want her there but she wanted to be there. She told them she was so sorry for what happened at Fusion and told Kendall she resigned. Kendall told Simone that she was the one who brought Michael to town that she probably should resign. Mia said no that she should all stick together, Greenlee walked up and said "that's right we all have to stick together." Greenlee said that Fusion was the four of them and that they would all stick together and fight Michael. Then they had a group hug.

Reggie told Jack that he got Erica and Bianca to smile. Jack told Reggie that he had a knack for saying the right thing. Reggie told Jack he wasn't sure how he made it before with out him. Jack said that Reggie was in his life now and that is what counts. Myrtle saw Lena outside the court room. Lena told Myrtle she knows she shouldn't be there but she had to come. Myrtle told Lena she had the right to be there. Lena said that Bianca didn't even talk to her when she saw her last. She told Myrtle that if she thought it would help to tell Bianca that she loved her. Myrtle said that she would. Lena said she wouldn't go into the courtroom but she would be there then walked away.

Alexander asked Ryan if he saw anyone he knew from Pine Valley on the tv. Ryan didn't say anything but he looked up and saw Kendall. His eyes got wide and a little teary.

Greenlee walked up to Jack who was very surprised that she was there. She told him Good luck. He said that he was glad she was there to support him. Greenlee hugged Jack. Mary walked into the court room and saw the two together.

The bailiff walked out and called the room to order. Michael was brought in and as they were talking off his cuffs he looked at all the disgusted and angry faces of those who were in attendance.

Palmer went to find Adam who happened to be on vacation. Palmer complained to Adam about his choice for his vacation. Adam asked why Palmer was there. Palmer told Adam thanks to him bailing out Michael he has caused more pain for Erica. Adam scoffed saying that they should ignore him. Palmer told Adam that they couldn't because this time Michael raped Bianca. Adam was stunned. Adam felt bad for Erica and Bianca. He said that this should put Michael away for a long time. Palmer told Adam that he doubted that would happen because they didn't have enough evidence. Palmer told Adam that he was sure Michael would walk. Adam said "that's why you are hear; Pete Cooney has a plan." Palmer just gave that devilish look.

   FRIDAY     AUGUST      22ND    
   COURTESY      SARAH MCNEIL    

Before the preliminary hearing begins, Jackson's Assistant District Attorney, Justin, suggests that he take over the case because Jackson may not be able to separate his personal feelings in the case. Before Jackson can react to Justin's comment, the judge walks in and the proceedings begins.

As Alexander Cambias and Ryan watch from the hospital room, Jackson calls David to the stand. David explains that at the night of the rape, he found Bianca in the park very shaken up and disturbed. He says that Bianca confided to him that ?some guy? had been harassing her. David accuses Michael of being the ?guy? that harassed her and raped her. The judge advises David not to make any more outrageous accusations and tells the courtroom that David's last comment will be struck from the record. Next, David explains that he tried to give Bianca a physical exam, but she ran to the roof of the building, where she almost fell off the edge, if David had not grabbed her and pulled her away. Then David explains that Michael disturbed Erica's wedding and Maggie had to pull a knife on him. He said that when he saw how fearful Bianca was of Michael, he has not doubt that Bianca was raped.

Michael's attorney gets up and cross examines David. He brings up his past criminal history, his past intimate relationship with Erica, and the drug that he made which caused Maria to lose her memory. The attorney also points out the fact that there are no bruises or marks on Bianca to show that she had been raped. Jackson interrupts and points out that since the rape took place several weeks ago, the bruises and marks have faded. David added that Bianca was given a physical exam after she admitted she was raped and he was waiting on the test results. David steps down from the stand and Jackson calls Bianca to come to the stand.

Bianca is in a separate room with Erica and gets nervous when she realizes she has to testify. Erica shows her a loving letter written from Jack and assures her that she is strong enough to get through this testimony. Bianca enters the courtroom and sits on the stand, not looking at a smiling, smug Michael. She starts to recall the night of the rape for Jackson. Jackson asks her if Michael physically entered her that night. She says that he pinned her down and put his hands over her mouth to stop her from screaming "No!" Bianca lashes out at Michael and tells him that he raped her. The judge tells Bianca to control herself. She tells Jackson that she didn't tell Erica she had been raped because of her mother's past. Bianca adds that after Michael had finished raping her, he got dressed, kissed her cheek, and said "Thanks." The crowd gasps at Bianca's last words and Reggie gets up ready to attack Michael, but sits down after the judge tells him to.

Michael's attorney cross examines Bianca, hitting on the fact that her and her mother both hated Michael. He brings up the fact that Erica and Kendall both claimed Michael tried to rape them, but yet, they never filed charges. The attorney also brings up the romantic relationship that Kendall and Michael shared, even though he was only using her to get to Erica's company, Enchantment. Once Ryan hears that Michael hurt Kendall physically and mentally, he seems disturbed and starts asking Alexander questions about their relationship. The attorney also brings up Bianca's romantic relationship with Lena and her involvement with Michael. The judge asks the attorney to get to his point because he wasn't making much sense to her. The attorney accuses Bianca of lying about the rape for Erica because she was scared of losing Enchantment. Then the attorney shocks the crowd by informing everyone that Michael now owned a controlling interest in Enchantment. Erica is distraught at the news and starts screaming at Michael, "You raped my daughter! You think I give a damn about my company!" She faints and David carries her out of the courtroom. Bianca asks the judge if she can go because she needs to be with her mother. The judge allows it and Bianca finds Erica in a private room, recovered, but still shocked from the news. Bianca asks her if Michael has some part in Enchantment. Erica says she doesn't know and is more focused on helping Bianca than Michael's schemes.

After Bianca leaves, Michael's attorney asks the judge to dismiss this case because Jackson has no evidence that Michael raped Bianca. Jackson snaps at the attorney and tells him he has a solid case to present to the judge. Jackson adds that Michael has a history of attacking woman. The attorney asks, "If that's true, where is the evidence?" Kendall stands up and proclaims that she is evidence of Michael's twisted history of attacking woman. She pleads to the judge not to let Michael get away with raping her sister. The judge demands that the lawyers finish the rest of this case privately in her office.

As Ryan and Alexander look on the television, a reporter starts questioning Kendall about Michael. Kendall begins trashing Michael, but Aidan drags her away from the reporter. Alexander is distressed at Michael's behavior and explains to Ryan that Michael tried to take over Enchantment. "I topped it off by giving Erica his seal on the Board of Directors on Cambias Industries," Alexander adds. Back in the courtroom, Bianca's family and friends hold hands and say a prayer for her.

In the judge's chambers, she informs Jackson that she really needs more evidence to take this case to court. Jackson says that Bianca's testimony should be enough for her and for any woman who has been raped. Everyone arrives back in the courtroom and the judge announces that she is ready to make a decision.
