Sorry for the slight delay...

Inside the Capwell mansion, a surprise birthday party is being planned for Ted.
OUtside, Angela tries to tell CC about her and Ted; meanwhile, the people
insice hear voices outside so they assume Ted and Lilly are on the way.  When
Angela and Cc walk in, everyone shouts, "Surprise!", but then they realize they
have the wrong couple.  They blow out all the candles on the cake and go look
for more.  Just then, Ted and Lilly really do arrive.  Before they enter,
Sophia sends Rafe out to stall them.  Finally, Sophia comes out and asks them
to come in.  Ted is duly surprised.  He asks Sophia if Ken is around; not in
the same room as CC, Sophia tells him.  The last time they were together it
wasn't pretty.  Ted notices Rafe looking at Lilly.  He asks if she wants to
have some fun.  Despite being mad at Ted for hiring Rafe, she comes up and
gives him a big kiss to try to mess with Rafe's head.  It works.

Angela finally gets a private moment with CC in the study.  She points out
that Ted is kind of moody around her.  She is about to tell CC why when she
notices him holding a gift box.  She asks why he's holding Ted's present and
he tells her it's for her.  It's a gorgeous watch or bracelet.  As she is
trying to refuse it, Ted and Lilly come in and tell them it's almost time to
open Ted's gifts.  After they leave, Angela decides not to spill the beans
to CC--yet.

Most of Ted's gifts are parts of an Indiana Jones-type outfit.  Angela comes
up to him to tell him she's made a decision about her future.  She wanted to
tell CC first but the timing wasn't right.  He stops her to announce that he
and Lilly are engaged to be married.  Unhappy looks from Rafe, Angela, and CC.
Ted asks Angela what she was going to tell him.  She says it doesn't matter
now.

Dolly reluctantly testifies that she saw BJ holding a gun at the dumpster
in the alley behind the diner.  She recalls calling out to BJ, who didn't
answer.  It was as if she were sleepwalking.  Dolly says that BJ threw the
gun in the dumpster and ran off.  BJ suddenly tells Julia she remembers what
Dolly just described.  Warren calls out to her not to say anything.  When
Julia cross-examines Dolly, she established that it was very dark in the
desert and that the door of the diner is about 20 feet from the dumpster;
with only a 60 watt bulb in the diner, the lighting 20 feet away would have
been very poor.  Then she establishes that Dolly needs to wear glasses for
night driving.  Arnlod asks how close she would need to be before she could
see a road sign clearly--probably at least 40 or 50 feet, they decide.  So
Dolly should be able to recoginze someone at 20 feet, Arnold concludes.
After Dolly is done, the prosecution rests.  BJ tells Julia and the others
on her side that Dolly's recollection is correct.  Julia tells BJ it might
be time to consider changing her plea.  Warren objects.  BJ thinks Julia
might be right.  Warren says that plea bargaining is like admitting BJ's
guilt; instead, they should be trying to fill in the rest of the details.
Julia cautions that, while a plea to involuntary manslaughter might be let
off with probation and psychiatric care given the circumstances, a conviction
for murder could mean 15 years to life.  Dolly comes up and apologizes
to BJ.  She is sure she didn't give Connor any information when they went
out for coffee, but Kelly says she warned her that Connor never does anything
without a reason.  Dolly goes and tells Connor she told him the wrong story--
she should have told him about the Frank Goodmans that come into your life
when you're defenseless and violate you, mentally and physically.  Meanwhile,
attorneys defend the Frank Goodmans and cops go on hurting the ones who have
already been hurt.  She says that, if he weren't a cop, she'd spit in his
face.  Kelly asks how he feels about all that; he says it comes with the
territory.  When Kelly talks about BJ's abuse, Connor says that only 2
people know for sure what happened--and one of them is dead.  He says that
without more witnesses, it's just BJ's word.  Kelly asks how he can sleep
at night.  Later, Connor goes out to the desert with Winston and thinks
about what Dolly and Kelly said to him.  He begins to think that maybe there
is a higher truth.

In Mason's chambers, Arnlod refuses to plea bargain to involuntary or
voluntary manslaughter.  In that case, Mason says, the trial resumes as
planned tomorrow.  Arnold comments about the upcoming recount, sending
Julia and Mason scurrying around to find a news report.  It turns out that
the recount shows that Julia won by 19 votes.  Mason says he's never been
so humiliated.  He asks if she knows how this makes a man feel.  The same
way it makes a woman feel?  she asks.  No, very different, he replies.
Julia says that when she first got into the race she got caught up in the
feminism a ilttle, but when it came down to it she wanted to win because
ghe thought she was the best candidate.  Mason, however, wanted to win
because he is a man.  She says she feels sorry for him.  After she walks
out of his chambers, he takes a sad walk around the room.

CC and Sophia try to persuade Ted not to marry Lilly.  CC threatens to cut
Ted off and Ted tells him to shove his inheritance.  CC didn't really
mean it, he tells Sophia.  Kelly comes by and tells them the news from the
trial is bad; Julia is trying to plea bargain.  She is surprised to hear that
Ted is getting married.  Later, she regrets testifying about Cruz burning
BJ's dress.  Instead of taking care of BJ like she promised Cruz, she's
sending her to prison.  CC says it's Cruz's fault for leaving them with
so many unanswered questions.  CC says he agrees with Arnold on one thing:
it's awfully peculiar for Cruz to have tried to take the fall for BJ.  He
tells Kelly she did tne best she could; now all they can do is see what
happens at the trial.

As CC is about to walk Angela to her car, she tells Ted a camera crew will
come by the Chumash site tomorrow.  She tells him she hopes he'll find
what he's searching for.

At the pagoda, Warren asks BJ if she really remembered Dolly's account or
if the testimony put ideas in her head.  She says she really remembered it,
but there's still a big piece missing--what happened before she got to that
alley behind the diner.  They decide to try to account for the missing hours
by working backwards from when Dolly saw her at the dumpster.  BJ remembers
that the last thing she did before that was take a shower at the motel--
holding the gun.

TOMORROW ON SB

Warren:  "So, BJ remembers having Frank's gun the night he was killed.  That
doesn't mean that she did it, and I won't let her speculate.  Unless she has
a clear memory that she actually pulled that trigger, I won't accept that she
did it.  I can only hope to God she'll never really know how frightened I am."
