                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

Scene 1
As Edward's trial reconvenes, Mae Mae and Justus arrive to a gaggle of
reporters. Justus mentions that Edward will take the stand. Mae Mae snaps
defensively that Edward may loose his freedom. Soon, Edward and a few of the
other Q's arrive and take their places in court.  Stannis and Lee chide Edward
for not having his entire family there in a show of support in front of the
jury.  They argue about the effect of blaming everything on Boland and Frank
Smith considering they were recently snuffed out.
Scene 2
Laura paces worriedly while Tiffany tries to comfort her.  Lucky arrives and
asks about his father. Laura tells him what Sonny and Sean said.
Scene 3
Ned visits Sonny to offer to buy him out of L&B Records, but Sonny laughs at
the offer and tells him to get lost.  Ned makes disparaging statements about
Sonny's background, and Sonny counters with similar references to Ned's bigamy.
Scene 4
Back at the trial, Edward's lawyer gets an expert to admit they couldn't be
certain that the bullet which actually killed Bradley came from Edward's gun,
but on cross examination, the prosecutor brought out that Edward's gun wasn't
ruled out as the murder weapon.
Scene 5
Lucky and Laura continue to talk about what happened to Luke.  Lucky gets very
upset, [this kid really makes Ricky Martin look like a hack actor. Wait now, I
forgot, Ricky Martin is a hack actor.] but he's confident his father swam to
safety and is hiding.  [Quick check under Lucy's bed.]
Scene 6
During a recess, the press vultures try to get statements out of Alan, AJ, and
Justus. Alan and AJ discuss Edward's state of mind.
Scene 7
Felicia and Mac talk about Lola and how to get her to give them information
about Jack Boland and Frank Smith.  Kevin arrives and asks about Lucy since he
hadn't heard from her.  Felicia says a package for her arrived from Scott
Baldwin.  Kevin takes the package, and Felicia and Mac head off to New York to
see Lola.
Scene 8
Sonny comes to see Lois. When she expresses worry over recent events, he tries
to assure her, but she says he gets into, "the wild side of life," and L&B is
not interested in shoot 'em ups.  She asks him point blank if he's involved in
something that will fall in on her.
Scene 9
Stannis gets another expert to say they couldn't be certain when the bullet
entered the tree. Again, the prosecutor establishes that the bullet from
Edward's gun could have entered when they said.  Finally, Edward himself is
called to the stand.
Scene 10
Sonny assures Lois he wouldn't betray her; he'd rather cut off his own arm.
Lois says she believes him, but if he does, he won't need to cut off his own
arm; she'll do it for him. [Just his arm? I thought this was the 90's where
women are encouraged to maim men in all sorts of new and imaginative ways.]
Sonny tells her about Ned's offer to buy him out, and she gets royally PO'd at
the news.
Scene 11
On the stand, Edward testifies that he felt they were exerting too much
pressure on Bradley which is why he asked the others to back off, but the
others laughed at him.  He swears he never called Jack Boland the night of the
meeting.  He says after he left he went to a motel [with Mae Mae, by any
chance?].  He also testifies that many people had easy access to his gun, and
they could have removed it and returned it undetected.
Scene 12
Sonny visits Laura but has no new news for her. She is very worried and
criticizes Sonny for telling Luke about Frank Smith. Sonny says he was being
honest with Luke, but regrets it now.
Scene 13
Ned comes to see Lois and says they need to discuss Sonny. She angrily replies
she's worked things out with Sonny. Her problem is with him.
Scene 14
Mac and Filly visit Lola, who says she no longer acts.  Mac and Filly toss out
a few gratuitous compliments, and she starts to talk about her past involvement
with Boland.  She tells them Jack listened to her but also told her things as
well.  When they mention Edward's indictment for Bradley's murder, she replies
that couldn't be.
Scene 15
On cross examination, the prosecutor picks at Edward's story and manages to
bring up that Jack Boland can't refute Edward's statements because he's now
dead.
Scene 16
Lois tells Ned to quit trying to control her or her company with his money. He
tells her his people didn't get Brenda and Miguel kidnapped. She says she
trusts Sonny because he has never betrayed her.  Ned counters by saying he
hopes Sonny wasn't going to set a precedent.
Scene 17
Out of scene, Lola has explained why she knows Edward is innocent, but we don't
find out what she said. She agrees to testify if she could get some, "help" to
finance her trip. They assure her Edward would consider it a bargain.
Scene 18
Under extremely pointed cross examination, the prosecutor badgers Edward into
angrily blurting out that Jack Boland got exactly what he deserved. Even though
the judge sustained Stannis' objection to the questions and ordered the jury to
disregard the them and the outburst, Lee and Stannis knew damage had been done.
