Richard and Cassie tried to add a little touch of romance to their Texas adventure as they went undercover as a bad dishwasher and hot bartender respectively. Edmund was closer than they thought. Pilar's testimony naming Carmen and Vanessa as Ben's assailants was inadmissible to the court due to Pilar's unstable mental condition, and she was hospitalized. Michelle faced off with Carmen. David befriended Drew. Ross and the D.A. gave their final arguments to the jury. Danny's bid to force Carmen to tell the truth backfired, spelling more problems for Michelle.

A heartbroken and emotional Beth and Phillip explained Lizzie's illness to her as family members lent their support. Emotions ran high for Beth as she was on the verge of telling Harley why she felt she was being punished for Lizzie's illness. Richard and Cassie arrived in Galveston, but Cassie was furious that Richard had turned into "father protector." Working together put them in "close" quarters as they played cat and mouse with their real feelings for each other. Edmund ordered Gil to choose a victim in the latest staged construction site accident, unaware that Richard was the target. Richard and Cassie's quest to find out the truth added to more sexual tension between them. The jury found Michelle guilty.
