Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Sophia went to Melinda’s office, but Melinda wasn’t there. Tate called Sophia to ask her for the adoptive parents’ address since Rachel bought a gift for the baby. Sophia said she didn’t have the address, but she would reach out to her lawyer. When Melinda showed up, Sophia told her about Sarah snooping around. Melinda didn’t think Sarah would figure out that Sophia was lying. She told Sophia that it was okay because Sarah couldn’t say anything because of HIPPA. Sophia was upset about the lie, but Melinda told her she would handle it. Tate ran into Belle at the town square. Belle said she was staying away until Sami left. Tate didn’t see why Sami would be mad that she was prosecuting Johnny since she was forced into it. Belle said Sami didn’t always act rationally. She said she had to get through it for the greater good. It occurred to Tate that he should do the same thing about the baby. He thought he should be concerned about how Sophia was doing.
At the Bistro, Paulina was nervous about testifying at Johnny’s trial. She wasn’t sure how she would live with herself if Johnny was wrongly convicted. The Attorney General called and said he would be watching the trial carefully. He said someone from the office would be in court and said Belle would be disbarred if she screwed up the case. EJ got Johnny ready for court. Johnny said he didn’t like the idea, but EJ said he knew what was best. Johnny told him to go easy on Paulina. They talked about John and Sami. When they got to the courthouse, Paulina was there. Paulina wished Johnny luck. She wanted to talk to EJ, but he told her it was inappropriate since she was a witness for Belle. Paulina told him that she was also the mayor. She told him to back off Belle. EJ said he would and went into the courtroom. When Belle showed up, Paulina said she had something to tell her. In the courtroom, Belle questioned Paulina on the stand. Belle asked Paulina about Johnny’s anger towards EJ. She asked Paulina about Johnny refusing to see EJ at the hospital when he was shot. Paulina said Johnny thought EJ got what he deserved. Belle continued questioning Paulina. It was EJ’s turn to question Paulina. EJ asked if Paulina was upset with him. He asked if she thought Johnny was innocent. Paulina said she did. Belle asked Gabi about going to the mansion and hearing Johnny and EJ arguing on the night of the shooting. The people in the courtroom were shocked when Gabi said she heard EJ telling Johnny to put the gun down. Gabi said she saw Ava leaving the mansion. EJ asked Gabi about the gun she had the night of the shooting. While he was questioning Gabi, she admitted that she might have misidentified the person talking to EJ. He got her to admit that Ava could have came back to the mansion. When EJ grilled Gabi, Belle asked for the judge to get him to stop badgering her. The judge decided to call for a break. Tate ran into Sophia and apologized for the way he has been treating her. He asked how she was doing. Sophia said she was fine. While they were talking, he asked her questions about the parents. Sophia said they had to live with what happened. Tate said he couldn’t do that. He said he wanted to meet the parents and their daughter. Sophia said that would make things worse. She said the baby wasn’t his anymore. Tate said he wasn’t going to let it go. Sophia called Melinda and told her that Tate wanted to write a letter to the parents asking if he could meet the baby. Melinda said to tell him to write the letter and she would respond as the parents and tell him he couldn’t see the baby.
