Todd calls the LPD and threatens Detective Price in order to get the name of the person who left the partial finger print on his cuff link box.
Rex drops by Clint's office and asks to talk to him about his connection to Inez Salinger. Clint says, "Well then, this will be a short conversation, because I have no connection to Inez."
"Really, well, you dated her, you must have a few things to say about her."
"Not to you, I don't. Now, get out or I'll throw you out."
"I don't think so."
"Since when did my former relationship with Inez become your business?"
"When it became Bo's."
"What are you getting at?"
"What if Bo never even slept with Inez?"
"Of course, Bo slept with Inez. He told me so himself."
"Actually SHE told him so. Bo just took it for granted that she was telling the truth; he doesn't actually remember it."
"Because he was drunk."
"Or, he was drugged out of his mind. There is evidence that Inez drugged Bo, and then she lied about having sex with him."
At his point, Clint stands up. "And why would she do that?"
"The way I see it, saying you are at home, in bed with the police commissioner, is a pretty good alibi."
"For what?"
"Murdering her ex-husband."
"Nate Salinger killed Eddie Ford. They found the murder weapon in his possession. The kid even confessed."
"What if he's taking the fall for his mother?"
"Does anyone else subscribe to that theory?"
"You don't think it's a possibility..."
"That Inez would let her teenage son go to prison for a murder that she committed?"
"I know it sounds..."
"Ludicrous. It sounds ludicrous. I'm surprised you would even float this possibility to Bo. Rex, come on. A femme fatale drugging a police officer and now there's a cover up?"
"It makes sense."
"You aren't doing Bo any favours by encouraging him to buy into these dime store fantasies."
"So, you think that Bo..."
"Bo has got to face reality and own up to what he did. He cheated on Nora, and now he's going to have to live with the consequences—end of story."
Rex's face says, "Something isn't adding up here..."
Vimal bursts into Clint's office with balloons congratulating him on the new addition to his family. Clint says "Thanks, but I am in the middle of something."
"Yeah, I know, with Rex Balsam."
Rex: "Do I know you?"
Vimal: "No, but I know all about you."
Vimal fumbles with trying to secure the balloons in the corner of the room. Clint says don't worry about it. Vimal says, "No, I've got it. This low-tech stuff is surprisingly complicated."
"Excuse me, Vimal. How exactly do you know me?"
"Mr. Buchanan talks about you all the time."
Clint gives Vimal a look that could kill.
"...because I have been tasked with re-vamping security, and I am to keep you removed from all that is Buchanan."
"I hope Clint pays you overtime."
"Vimal is well paid for his abilities AND his discretion."
Rex: "Great, so what about Inez?"
"That subject is closed. Now, you get out, or Vimal is going to test out his anti-Balsam capabilities."
"Well, thanks a bunch. I'll be sure to let Bo know how helpful you've been—right after I check in with my sister and my new nephew."
"Natalie is NOT your sister, and that little baby is NOT your nephew."
"Natalie says and feels different. "Actually, when you think about it, Natalie has been my sister longer than she has been your daughter. That's gotta burn..." Rex leaves.
Vimal to Clint: "You and your son, really don't get along, do you." Clint reminds Vimal that he is depending on him to keep his mouth shut about altering the DNA tests at the hospital lab. During their conversation, it becomes apparent to Vimal that there is a possibility he may have changed the results of the wrong daughter. Both of Clint's daughter's married names start with the letter B — Jessica Brennan and Natalie Banks!! Vimal changed the results so that one of the daughters thinks that Brody Lovett is the father of her baby, when he isn't. So far, the writers are not telling us who that is.
Téa confronts Inez on the witness stand about murdering Eddie Ford. The judge objects to the questioning and then threatens contempt of court charges against Téa. Nate continues to claim his guilt and Nora asks for the court's indulgence, because she wants to hear what Inez has to say. The judge, however, doesn't want to go there and keeps pushing to wrap up the testimony and get on with the sentencing.
Just then Todd bursts into the room and says Inez didn't kill her husband, but "this kid right here, is guilty as sin." He points at Nate. Téa asks the judge to put Todd in jail for defying a direct order from the bench (barring him from the courtroom). Dani jumps up and begs her father to stop. Todd apologizes to her, and says he thought Nate was innocent too; "...but it turns out, we have barely begun to scratch the surface of his crimes."
Dani: "Your Honor, it's not true. Nate would never frame my dad. Tell them," she says to Nate.
"I can't. Because, I did it. I framed Mr. Manning."
Téa begs the judge for a brief recess to confer with her client. The judge says "no," but agrees to have the bailiff swear in Nate so he can tell exactly what happened the night of the murder.
Nate explains that he did go into the Manning's bedroom and took there jewelry to make it look like a robbery that he was going to pin on Eddie by planting the jewelry in his motel room. When he got there, Eddie was already dead. He was in such a hurry to get out of there that he momentarily dropped his gym bag and that was when the cuff link fell out.
Marty wakes up from her sedation and starts screaming for John. The guard finds John and alerts him to the situation. John goes to talk to Marty. She is still completely delusional. She wants to see her baby. John tells her that as soon as the doctors are finished with all their tests, she can see him.
Roxy finds out from Natalie and Rex that Marty has been causing trouble for Natalie and now is sedated in the hospital. Roxy takes it upon herself to have a chat with Marty. John and Natalie return the baby to the nursery and go back to her room. Marty sneaks around the corner and looks through the nursery window at "her son."
There has been a shift change of the guards watching Marty's room. The guard looks through the window and sees a woman's arm on the outside of the blanket, but the blanket is over her head. As the camera gets closer, we see that it is actually Roxy in Marty's bed.
Dun, dun, da....
