Frank runs out to check the street for Neil and John, while Courtney calls
the police.  An officer arrives and Courtney fills her in on the situation.
Just then Neil and John nonchalantly arrive.  John claims he told them
he was leaving.  Neil thinks she mustn't have heard him.  Neil gets sent to
his room so the adults can handle things.  John says they went out to get
Courtney's favourite flowers, which he has in his hand.  The officer tells him
to improve his communication skills and leaves.  Frank snipes vainly at John.
Courtney's threats don't affect him either.  Neil calls to him - John tells the
duo that wild horses couldn't keep him away from his son.  He goes up to
Neil.  Frank and Courtney bitch about John.  Courtney admits it was a mistake
to dump Joe for John.  She was swayed by his money and charm.  Frank asks
why they broke up, but Courtney doesn't want to tell - just then John comes
down and tells her to go ahead and enlighten Frank.  She doesn't want to.
He tells her confession is good for the soul.  He admits he wanted the
divorce and that it was a mistake.  She wants to know where he was
when Neil was sick.  He claims that he didn't want to make her life more
complicated.  He tells her not to give up on them and to tell Neil he'll see
him soon and leaves.

Scott is in Serena's hospital room joking with her about Lucy and alligators.
Lee comes in and takes Scott outside.  He tells Scott that Eve will be called
to testify and so will Scott in Julie's trial.  He asks that he think of Serena
before he perjures himself to cover for Eve and walks off.  Scott goes back
to Serena's room and Karen and Joe come in with some odd CD  that Serena
wanted.  She's sleepy and wants to listen to her new CD.  She drifts off and
the adults go into the hallway (where I hear my doctor being paged in the back-
ground!!)  Scott tells them about testifying.  They think there is enough
evidence against Eve to throw doubt on Julie without Scott's testimony.
They worry ominously about The Killer still being free - Karen hopes TK gets
careless and caught - Joe doesn't think that'll happen, TK is too smart.  Scott
just wants it all over.  Karen thinks Lee must understand how difficult it
would
be for Scott to testify.  Scott thinks being a good lawyer will take precedence
over Lee's personal feelings.

Eve is panicking over her upcoming testimony while Chris urges her to keep
up with their phony alibi.  She worries that people will know they are lying,
but he is unconcerned - no one can prove they are.  She doesn't want to spend
any more time in jail for perjury, he tells her it's better than spending time
for
murder.  Eve plaintively says she didn't kill anyone - Chris doesn't think that
matters.  In the courtroom, Lee questions Chris about his relationship to Eve
and where Eve was when she disappeared instead of testifying.  He tells about
looking for her and checking her room.  He tells the court about finding the
shrine behind a loose panel but opines that Eve didn't know it was there.  Lee
tells him to stick to facts.  He asks what all was in the cachet (yes - he said
cachet).  Chris tells him about the pictures and personal items he found and
how
he tried to get rid of the stuff.  He denies trying to cover for Eve, claiming
he
was just unnerved by the stuff.  Lee says he was trying to destroy evidence
that Eve was a murderer, the prosecution objects.  Lee withdraws the statement
and adds "We know that's what you did" - prosecution objects again.  The
judge agrees and narrows his eyes at Lee who calls for a 5 minute break.  Julie
smirks and Lee slaps her.  (Okay, he didn't but I was hoping!)  Lee confronts
Chris in the hall with some advice - if Chris stands by his lie, he'll go to
jail for
Perjury.  Chris denies it's a lie.  Lee tells him not to go down with that
sinking
ship.  Back inside, Lee asks where he was when Bennett bit the dust.  Chris
tells
the story about them being together in the on-call room.

Scott comes to visit Eve and gives her a very brief rundown of his adventures,
minus the part about having sex with Lucy.  Eve asks after Serena and
apologizes
for being the cause of his flying off.  He says none of it was her fault.  Eve
starts
by being subtle and talking about Lucy going with, then comes right out and
tells
him she heard they slept together.  She tells him it's really none of her
business.
He wants to explain, but she says it's not the time.  She tells him about the
rope fibers in her suitcase - he says either she's being set up or is a very
sloppy
killer.  She says the next victim will have a tag "Hi!  Eve killed me!" on it.
Scott
asks what she is going to say - she's going with Chris' story, no one can break
it if Chris doesn't.  Scott doesn't think that's necessarily true.  He tells
her that
while Lee might seem like a nice old grandfather, but he's a cut-throat shark
in
the courtroom.

Eve is panicking over her upcoming testimony while Chris urges her to keep
up with their phony alibi.  She worries that people will know they are lying,
but he is unconcerned - no one can prove they are.  She doesn't want to spend

tells
the story about them being together in the on-call room.  Lee tells him the
penalty for perjury - Chris sticks to his story. Lee gives him one last chance,
Chris stands fast.  Julie shakes her head and continues to irritate me.
