T.J. uses his relations to get a favour from Mel to allow Jake to get a cameo role in the film. Hayley finds that T.J. is first of all a manipulator attracted by the money. Cruz's trial begins. Keith introduces to the jurors the portrait of Cruz faithless and ready to murder to get rid of his problems. He then questions Eden, who at first confesses to have thought that Cruz and Elena had a relationship. Questioned by Mason, she makes up for it by asserting she believes in love and the faithfulness of the defendant. Victoria accepts a summons to appear the following day as witness for the accused. She asks Mel for a "tonic" to help her overcome her apprehension. The evening arrives; Mason thinks she is been mysteriously relaxing facing what waits for her in the court.
