Franco tells Elizabeth and Hayden the whole story… that Liz’ father had an affair with Hayden’s mother; they don’t believe him, but he says he can prove it.  Elizabeth thinks he is trying to be funny right now, but he explains.  He tells them that although his initial information may have come from a lunatic, Naomi confirmed it.  He tells the story of his visit to the crazy hospital, finding Hayden’s mother there, etc., and it all makes sense to Hayden, so Elizabeth appears to believe.  Diane encourages Alexis; saying she’ll do fine on the witness stand.  Alexis says it is justice that she be the one to send him to prison for the rest of his life; they spend some time practicing in the courtroom.

Carly assures Sonny that Julian will be convicted.  He recalls how other evidence has disappeared and says you just never know what might happen.  She tells him she wishes she could stay with him, but has to get back to the Metro Court because Leo is sick and Olivia needs to stay with him.  Tracy tells Finn he needs to testify in front of board to keep the hospital from closing down; she says he needs to speak for the patients.  He reminds her that this board is the one who suspended him.

As Paul is leaving Monica’s office, he runs into Sabrina on her way in to talk to Monica; she finds her on the floor and runs to her.  Paul comes back into the office behind her and closes the door.  She turns around to ask what happened; he claims he doesn’t know, he came in and found he that way… says he was just going to get help.  She tells him to go get help now.  He doesn’t come back.  Sabrina gets Monica breathing and calls for help herself; the medic notices the injection mark on Monica’s neck.  Sabrina goes to tell an officer; she finds Paul, talking on the phone again.  She tells him, but then realizes he never went to get help; she questions this, he claims he told a nurse – then he gets a phone call and pulls his phone out of his pocket.  A rubber glove comes halfway out; Sabrina looks at it with horror.  She tries to leave and he grabs her, dragging her into another room.  She screams for him to let her go; he looks at her, almost sincerely sorry, and tells her he cannot do that.  

Sonny goes to Julian’s cell to have a conversation with him before his trial, reminding him that his offer of protection in prison still stands, if he pleads guilty.  He asks him what he has decided; Julian tells him he is taking his chances at trial, saying he has friends.  Sonny does his best to intimidate Julian, telling him that he needs to own up to what he did and take the consequences.  After Sonny leaves, Scotty shows up, and Julian tells him he wants to plead guilty; he demands that Scotty go ‘make a deal.’  Scotty is given an envelope that he thinks might change things.  

Carly walks up to hear Michael telling Tracy that he is going to propose to Sabrina tonight; she objects.  Tracy and Finn excuse themselves so mother and son can talk; Carly tells Michael that she doesn’t think they love each other the right way to get married… she says Sabrina hasn’t ever done anything to prove her love for him.  Hayden tells Finn she needs his help getting out of town; he says he won’t help her leave.  Instead, he asks her to come stay with him, as long as she needs – he says they will fight this, together.  She smiles; then federal agents show up to arrest her.  Paul shows up at the courthouse; Tracy questions why he’s late.  He says he had something to take care of, but it’s finished.  Sabrina lays on the floor, unconscious, as Michael sends her a text, saying he can’t wait to see her because has a surprise for her.
