Alexis tells Sonny that Rick is going to recall Kristina when it suits his advantage. It doesn’t look good for Kristina.

Liz tells him about the autopsy results, that cleared Lucas, but now implements the nursing team, specifically her. Liz tells him about the digitalis dosage found in Sam’s test results. The digitalis and morphine are kept in the same drug locker, and it’s possible someone chose the wrong medication for Sam. Liz says her nurses Never made a mistake like that before.

The last person who gave Sam medication was Liz. Liz and Lucky walk through the actions Liz took up to the time Sam died. Lucky gets a call from the Turning Woods Administrator notifying him of Lulu’s disappearance. Lucky and Liz get there and ask him to tell them everything that happened before Lulu disappeared. A nurse who cared for Lulu tells Lucky her last visitor was Cyrus.
Lulu flags down a passing car for help. She thanks him and gets inside. Who is it? It’s Cody! Thank Goodness! Cody asks her if she’s all right. She says she’s fine and makes up a story about why she’s on the side of the road. Cody keeps questioning her about why she’s on the side of the road, but she avoids answering him. They seem to have a rapport and bond over lollipops and horses. Cody notices Lulu’s hospital bracelet. Distracting Cody from his questioning Lulu asks what the date is, and shares that her brother’s birthday is soon. Later, Cody drops Lulu off at a house. He Introduces himself and gives her some money, his number in case she needed more help. She never gives him her name. He gives her a grape lollipop before driving off. Something interesting happening between these two…...hhhmmm.
Sasha texts Maxie and meets her at her home. She reveals she might be pregnant. Maxie asks who’s the Dad? Sasha assures her it’s not Cody because they never got that far. Maxie assures her she’s not alone. Sasha confides in Maxie and tells of her experience at the Brown Dog Bar. Sasha isn’t sure she’s pregnant, but has the pregnancy test ready to check. They are interrupted by James who had a ‘parkour’ accident. Later, Maxie convinces Sasha to find out the truth if she’s pregnant. To distract Sasha from the tedious waiting, Maxie asks her about her Mom and Dad. Time passes and The Result Is YES!Back to the courthouse, and Dante is on the stand being questioned by the prosecution.
He says he was one of the detectives on the scene after the accident happened. He also explains his relationship to Kristina, his half-sister. He walks through his investigation findings and questioning of Ava. He said she was acting suspiciously. Rick objected, but it was allowed due to Dante’s professional experience gained as a police detective. Ava giving contradictory answers to his questions made him suspicious. Rick cross-examined Dante and pointed out the conflict of interest with him questioning Ava. Rick asked Dante’s opinion if Ava was a good Mother to Avery, his half-sister. Dante said “No”. Rick proved the conflict of interest. Dante continues his testimony which included why Ava lied about the luggage from her male visitor.
That is what Kristina really tripped over. Court adjourns for a brief recess before the defense’s turn to question witnesses. TJ and Molly comfort each other after listening to the testimony that contributed to the death of their baby. Alexis advises Kristina that she needs to stay calm.
Ava jokingly asks Rick if he’s going to defend her any time soon. Rick says Kristina will be the one blamed for Baby Irene’s death when he’s done. He recalls Kristina to the stand. He rattles her by pointing out she cancelled her surrogacy commitment. Kristina angrily blurts out Ava’s past terrible history. Rick makes sure the jury knows Ava wasn’t accused of any of those supposed crimes. Rick skillfully draws out Kristina’s anger, hot temper and confusion. He presented records of her hot temper, then draws a clear picture for his case showing her actions led to her child’s death. Kristina goes to pieces. Rick's relentless! Can see why Alexis warned Kristina about facing Rick in court! WOW!
