Friday, June 9, 2006
Mimi had pains at the store where she and Belle were shopping and collapsed. She ran off to throw up, but couldn’t. Belle took her to the Java Cafe to have a special drink for pregnant women. The description made Mimi nauseous. She hoped she wouldn’t be sick through the entire pregnancy, Mimi noted. Mimi told Belle that she knew how important it was for Shawn to have his own child, like Claire. “Like Claire?” Belle asked. Mimi said she had to tell Belle the truth, then doubled over and said she was having bad cramps. “Something’s wrong. Something’s really wrong. I’m afraid I’m losing my baby!” she cried.
EJ took Sami to Lexie’s office. EJ introduced himself to Lexie and said he wanted to donate his winnings from his last race in Germany to the hospital for breast cancer research. Lexie revealed she had a scare recently. EJ suggested Lexie be the face of the PR campaign and should get retested to show that even doctors get second opinions. Though suspicious, she said she would support the cause and get retested. When EJ left, Lexie turned to Sami and asked her what she was up to. Sami denied having anything to do with it and insisted charitable EJ came up with the idea on his own. The two hurled barbs at each other. EJ returned and said they were ready for her retest. She remarked that it was fast and EJ said that’s the kind of guy he is. When Lexie left, EJ asked Sami why she cared. Sami tried to explain that Lexie was a family friend and she was concerned about her, but EJ didn’t buy it. Sami was antsy waiting for the results. EJ asked why she was so jumpy. Sami was evasive. The results came back. Sami burst into Lexie’s office and asked if she had cancer or not.
Jack felt ill and learned that his immune system is breaking down, that he is still dying and needs hospice care. “I’m used to it, “he said. “It’s June. I must be dying again.” The doctor apologized for the procedure not working. A delirious Jack called for Jennifer. An orderly came in. “It’s you,” Jack whispered. The orderly — Steve “Patch” Johnson, Jack’s presumed-dead brother —gave him some water. “Steve? Steve?” Jack said.
Abby came to the courthouse and begged Frankie not to give up on Chelsea. He promised he wouldn’t. Maggie, Will and Caroline arrived. Will said he hoped the judge threw the book at Chelsea for killing his cousin Zack. Will took a seat next to Abby. Max spoke with Chelsea and asked if she was alright. “No, of course I’m not alright.” Billie asked Kate what was going on. Kate denied knowing anything.
Bo went over to Shawn and Hope to see how they were doing. Hope said she wasn’t sure if she could relive Zack’s death yet. Shawn asked which version of the truth Bo planned to say on the stand. Bo said the actual truth. Shawn sneered that Bo planned to protect Chelsea. Bo reminded Shawn that he protected him when he drove his motorcycle through the church window. There are two sides to every story, Bo pointed out. Victor arrived to show his support and warned Bo not to lose the woman he loved or else he’d regret it for the rest of his life. Bo hugged Chelsea, which made Hope grimace.
The judge took the bench and announced that there wouldn’t be a trial. Pandemonium erupted in the courtroom. The DA objected, saying the charges shouldn’t be dismissed. The judge explained that since he was newly assigned to the case, he wanted to do a hearing to find out the facts. The judge called Hope to the stand. She showed a photo of Zack and made a stirring speech about how it would be his 6th birthday that day. “But today there is no cake, no presents, no party with family and friends. Zack won’t get to blow out his candles and make a wish,” she said, voice shaking. Hope said she didn’t want revenge, but that if Chelsea goes free, she believes she’ll hurt someone else. She wants Chelsea to learn from the tragedy, Hope explained.
Bo was then called to the stand and tearfully admitted that he couldn’t be there for Zack when he died and that he’d never be able to forgive himself for that. He said all he could do was what he thought Zack would want him to do. He asked the judge to show Chelsea justice and lenience. He took responsibility and said he should go to prison, not Chelsea. Why? asked the judge. Bo explained how he signed the papers to allow her to drive. The judge reminded him that he didn’t do all of the bad things Chelsea did. “I’m the adult here; I should have taught my daughter better,” Bo said.
The DA said she had a DVD of Chelsea driving and popped it in. Chelsea shot a worried look at Kate. The image on the screen was completely snowy. The DA said she saw the DVD earlier and that the evidence was there. Nobody knew what was going on. Kate looked in the back of the room and saw Eve, who motioned for her to join her outside. There, Eve revealed that she messed with the DVD. Kate paid her off. Eve then revealed that Bo was the last person in the evidence room and that it would look like he was the one who ruined the evidence. Kate gave her a bonus. The judge told the DA to make sure she had the right disc. She returned and announced the evidence had been tampered with. The judge ordered an investigation. When Kate returned to the court room, Billie shot her a look. Eve brought the computer records into the courtroom and announced that Bo was the only person in the evidence room that morning.
