They are discussing how Lee is doing a great job defending Julie.  Ellen
tells Matt, that ever since Eve was locked in the morgue cooler, she thinks
the killer is still out there.  The two promise not to let each other out
their sight.  Ellen then tells Matt about the fiasco involving Lucy at
Marios the night before.

Lucy enters
Lucy apologizes to Ellen about leaving her at Marios the night before, She
tells Ellen to get out her aggression an offers her chin for Ellen to hit.
Ellen declines and instead invites Lucy to join her and Matt at Marios for
lunch.  Lucy says sure so she and Ellen can go over the plan to win Kevin
back.

F:  Yes
P:  Were you with Julie the whole time?  F:  No, I had an emergency
P:  Did you return before or after Grace's body was found?  F:  After

about her

P:  Did you find her?  F:  Yes on the 6th floor
P:  What was her emotional state?   F:  She was upset about Grace's death
P:  What did she say about it?  F:  She asked me if I thought Grace's death
would clear her of suspicion in her fathers murder case

Julie looking mighty worried

P:  So minutes after her friends death all she is concerned about is if her
friends death will clear her...  F:  (very angry)  THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID,
She was upset about Graces death
P:  Did she tell you where she was when Grace was strangled?
F:  In the on call room
P:  So no one knew what Julie was doing when Grace was strangled
Lee:  Objection  Judge:  Sustained

herself, that's pretty cold blood, wouldn't you say?
Lee:  Objection  P: Withdrawn, no further questions

Scene V:  Court house lobby
Scott and Chris are making phone calls trying to find Eve.  To each other:
No luck.  They decide to try and find her before the cops start looking for
her (for not showing up in court).  Scott suggests her family, they head off
to the neighborhood that she grew up in, after Scott leaves Lee a note for
him to call when they are on recess.

moved to Austin.  Lee calls to let Scott know that they are in recess and
Frank is still on the stand.

lied about her alibi, Matt comments that then so did Chris, Lucy says that
she believes they are both in on it.  Ellen changes the subject.
Mario - to Lucy: Nice to have you back so soon, if I didn't know you were on
a date last night, I would think that guy was your brother.  Lucy: my
brother?    Mario:  Yea, you two look exactly like twins.

Matt asks how Lucy is going to make Kevin jealous by dating her brother?
Lucy gets huffy with Ellen and Ellen says she was only trying to get Matt to
help her convince Lucy that the idea is stupid.  Lucy gets Matt to admit the
plan is a good one.

right?  F:  Yes

it

Scene VIII:  Marios: Matt, Ellen and Lucy:
Matt explains that alot of men are territorial and seeing his women being
hit on by another man brings out a the Neanderthal in a man.  Lucy tells
Matt she likes the way he thinks (UH-O).  Ellen thinks men are more evolved,
but Lucy doesn't care because she saw that Kevin was jealous when he saw her
with her 'date'.  Ellen asks if that is the way she wants to to win back?
Lucy says she wants him back any way she can get him!  Ellen wants out, but
Lucy lays on the guilt and tells Ellen since she saved her life, she owes
her.

Scene IX:  Court Lobby
Lee shakes Franks hand tells him he did a good job.
Scott and Chris enter
Scott asks Frank if they got to Eve, Frank says she is up next.  Scott and
Frank argue that it is Frank's fault that Eve is not there, because someone
tried to kill her and Scott accuses Frank of doing it.

Commercial

Scene X:  Back in court room
Julie is telling Lee what a great job he is doing and is giving him pointers
on how to handle Eve.
Prosecutor announces they can't find Eve and asks the Judge to issue a bench
warrant and the Judge agrees to this.
Julie says to Lee that now they don't have to worry about questioning
Eve, since she just dug herself into a hole.

The end

Please as I said before constructive criticism will be appreciated and not
taken offensively!
