  Wednesday - August 12

  Agent McCabe continues to hammer away at Sawyer's version of what
  happened on the desert.  Jodie and Reese hover protectively in the
  background, the two of them poised on the edge.  Everyone's nerves
  are just about at the breaking point.  Boswell tries to keep everyone
  calm but is having a tough time.  McCabe finally gets Sawyer to admit
  that while he and Frank were struggling for the gun it went off which
  explains the powder residue discovered on Sawyer.  He recounts that
  there probably was a fourth shot which was the one that killed Frank.
  Questioned as to why to didn't say this in the first place he responds
  he didn't think it was important.  McCabe is shocked at his response.
  Boswell in an aside to Jodie says it would look better for Sawyer if
  he had confessed all this in the first place.  Jodie snaps back my son
  is not a liar.

  Cruz is coming out of his fevered state.  Kelly is close by.  Cruz
  wants to know what's going on with BJ and Kelly says she's fine, she's
  with Jodie.  Cruz and Kelly go into a heavy discussion regarding BJ's
  parentage and Cruz is obviously torn between wanting to be Jodie's
  father and realizing that he never can be.  He tells Kelly that BJ
  needs her father and Kelly makes it quite clear that BJ has her 
  father, the only one she's ever known - Reese.  Cruz, while knowing
  that this is correct continues to agonize over the whole situation
  He knows that things can never be the same between he and Jodie and
  Reese. He's lost his best friends and the will never be able to share
  the joys of a daughter he can never claim.  Kelly tries to comfort him
  but there is really little she can do.

  Warren is watching over BJ at the cabin.  She's asleep he leaves the
  room she wakes up.  She focuses on one of the horses that Frank had
  given her.  She moves towards it, picks it up and smashes it on the
  floor and does the same to all the others she can find.  Warren rushes
  back in and takes  her in his arms trying to calm her down.  She finally
  relates to Warren how Frank would always give her a horse after each
  encounter.  He tries to comfort her and she tries to talk it through.
  Warren tells her that Sawyer is being held for Frank's murder and BJ
  wants to go him immediately.

  Kelly tells Cruz that Frank is dead.  Cruz assumes that it was Reese
  but Kelly tells him, no, that Sawyer is being held, they think Frank
  was beaten to death.  Cruz is visably upset.  How much does this family
  have to put up with?  First BJ, now Sawyer.  Cruz wants to go to REese
  and Jodie but Kelly stops him telling him that he's too emotionally upset
  to face Reese.  Reese would take one look at his face and badger Cruz
  until he found out what was troubling him so deeply.  Cruz is not
  ready for that confrontation yet, he's still too weak.  Cruz is adamant
  about calling BJ, though, he has to know she's doing okay so Kelly
  brings him the phone and he calls the cabin. Warren answers and puts
  BJ on the line.  She is delighted to hear from him and glad that he
  is okay.  Cruz, guarding his emotions as best he can, offers BJ his
  love and friendship.  She promises to come see him at the hospital.
  Kelly and Cruz discuss Kelly being upset over Jodie and Cruz having
  BJ.  Kelly admits that it bothers her even though it was long before
  Kelly was on the scene.  She tells Cruz that no matter what she's not
  going to give up on what the two of them are building together.

  Agent McCabe wants to talk to BJ.  This sends the whole Walker clan
  into hysterics.  No way, not after what she's been through.  Jodie
  is not going to let him near her, Sawyer says she's been through too
  much, Reese continues to glower, Boswell tries to keep everyone calm.
  BJ walks in with Warren.  Jodie goes to her.  She's willing to talk.
  McCabe asks her about what went on the night at the desert. She doesn't
  know she was at the motel room where Frank was holding her prisoner.
  How did your brother react when he found out Frank was abusing you?  I
  wasn't there I don't know, she responds.  Aurora says she can answer 
  that.  He was very upset and angry but he would never kill another man.
  I know him inside and out and it's just not in his nature to kill someone.
  BJ concurs.  At this point Reese, Jodie, BJ and Warren are in a line
  facing Sawyer and Aurora across the table with McCabe off to the side.
  Well, says McCabe, if this paragon didn't do it, it has to be one of
  you and he looks at the quartet.  Camera pans to each face, Reese is
  still glowering, Jodie looks guiltily at Reese, BJ looks very confused,
  Warren looks non-commital.  Anybody care to confess questions McCabe?

  Jodie gets really pissed at this one and asks Warren to take BJ home.  He
  does.  Then she and Reese go to Sawyer.  They want to take him home.  
  Boswell says if they don't calm down he's going to put them on suspension.
  At this point Jodie throws down her badge and gun and says she wants no
  part of this department after what they've done to Sawyer.  She tells
  Sawyer to come with her they're out of here and she and Sawyer and REese
  walk out leaving a very stunned Boswell and a subdued McCabe.

  Warren gets BJ to take a tranquilizer so she can get some rest.  She
  starts dreaming that Frank is alive and is coming for her.  The she
  sees REese holding a gun pointed at Frank,  then Jodie is holding a gun
  pointed at him, then Sawyer, then Warren.  You hear shots and Frank
  falls to the ground.  Flash to BJ, back to Frank who rises from the dead.
  BJ wakes up screaming.  Warren is there to comfort her.

  Previews:

  Black background, head and shoulder shot of Sawyer, "They're going to 
  arrest me tomorrow for Frank Goodman's murder.  Sure, I beat him up for
  what he did to my sister, but kill him, that's another thing.  I only
  hope it isn't someone in my family."
