A few feet away, Blake confronts Ben about taping her clone conversation with Cassie. Ben denies it. Blake, however, is wise to Ben and his lies and doesn't believe him. Just around the corner in the ladies room, Reva threatens Annie with the videotape that Annie made when she kidnapped Reva and tried to kill her on the airplane. Annie doesn't flinch, admitting that she will enjoy watching Reva squirm as the "clone story" comes out in court. The two enemies go at each other verbally in a great scene with Reva at her best in her red suit. (Doesn't she always do her most memorable scenes dressed in red?) Finally, Annie backs down and agrees to leave Reva and her family alone and forget the clone if Reva keeps quiet about the tape. Annie is unaware that the tape is a fake made by Reva and Josh.

A few minutes later when they return to the courtroom, Reva and Josh stun the District Attorney by telling her that they no longer want to testify.
