  Angela and Rafe are in what I assume is the office at the dig site.
  Angela is upset that Rafe hasn't been able to track Ted down.  Rafe
  informs Angela that Rosa confirmed Ted's absense all night.  Flash 
  to gatehouse where Lilly is nervously pacing the floor still trying
  to get it straight that Ted wants them to get married so they can
  make Angela and Rafe miserable.  She continues to question the sanity
  of this plan.

  CC slaps down a newspaper with the headline "11th Hour Victory for 
  Julia Wainwright" on Mason's desk.  Mason informs CC that it's ain't
  over till it's over when Julia storms in yelling that Mason is "two-
  faced and a son of a..." when Mason cautions her not in front of his father.
  CC knowing a good time to exit does so while Mason and Julia resume their
  *discussion* of his asking for a recount.  Julia throws up his platitudes
  from the previous night about being a good loser, etc, etc.  She contends
  that the upset is best for the court system and it has nothing to do with
  she winning and he losing.  She calls him a hypocrite.  I'm a brat she
  says pointing at herself but you're a hypocrite.  Mason tells her she's
  just upset that when she thought she'd lost she didn't think of the recount
  ploy.  Mason informs her that court is about to convene, he, still being
  the judge makes that determination.  Julia who is still standing at the
  desk picks up a statue of blind justice and shoves it at Mason in what
  looked to be a most painful spot.

  At the courthouse BJ and Reese are talking, she confesses that her resolve
  is fading.  Sawyer, dressed in coat and tie, arrives and puts up a brave
  front trying to convince BJ that he will take on the dreaded DA Arnold
  and in true White Knight fashion, save the day.  An officer tells him he
  has to leave and Dolly approaches and wishes BJ well.  Reese and Jodie
  look on while McCabe and the DA are engaged in antimated conversation. 
  Jodie goes out to speak with Sawyer.  Sawyer is distressed that his 
  testimony will be what puts BJ in jail.  He wants to run and Jodie tells
  him to be strong and just tell the truth.

  At the gatehouse Ted is still trying to talk Lilly into marriage and Lilly
  starts hearing the Wedding March in her head and fantasizes marching down
  the stairs at the mansion into Ted's waiting arms.  They approach the main
  room where CC and Rafe are sitting on the couch.  CC gets up goes up to
  them starts to say something clutches his chest and falls to the floor.
  L & T smile and politely step over his prostrate body.  Rafe approaches
  holding a noose which he puts around his neck and proceeds to hang him
  self.  Without missing a beat they step over him also.  Finally, they
  approach the altar and who should show up but Angela in an interesting
  Elvira ensemble.  Angela is not so easily dissuaded as Rafe and CC and
  Lilly awakes from her fantasy screaming.  She is not so sure that taking
  on this trio is exactly what she wants to do.

  Court is convened.  DA Arnold calls Victoria McCarthy, Frank's finance,
  to the stand.  She testifies that Frank was terrified of BJ.  That she
  would walk into a room and he would be looking at pictures of BJ and
  become agitated and nervous.  She claims he told her that BJ was in love
  with him and he didn't know what to do about it.  When pushed for specifics
  she cites only what she interrpreted as Frank's reactions to BJ.  At one
  point she stands and points BJ out as the woman who murdered her almost
  husband.  Julia, on cross-examination, makes mincemeat of her testimony
  proving that everything she stated was simply what she perceived Frank
  to be thinking.  Ms. McCarthy suddenly pulls a letter out of her purse
  that BJ sent to Frank.  She reads it aloud, "I love you and I miss you
  and I can't wait to see you again.  Love BJ"  Gavels are banging people
  are talking and BJ says to Julia "This is bad isn't it?".  Julia responds,
  "It's not good."  Mason calls Julia and Arnold into his chambers.

  Julia and DA Arnold are bickering back and forth about appropriate court
  procedure while Mason sits there watching them and finally informs them
  that he is the judge and will do the talking.  Arnold wants to enter the
  letter into evidence and Mason rules against it.  Arnold leaves and Mason
  and Julia, left alone, discuss how things aren't going quite how they
  thought they would.  Having discussed the hypothesis they discover that
  the reality of their situation is much different.

  Mason looking sad tells Julia, "You see, I miss my wife.  I miss sitting 
  down to breakfast in the morning squabbling over who gets what part of the
  paper first.  Constant disagreement about politics and the state of the
  world.  I miss holding her in the middle of the afternoon because we ran,
  accidentally, into each other and holding her is the most wonderful thing
  in the world.  I miss her hedious attacks and vocalizing and shouting and
  I miss the way her hair smells when she's just washed it.  Most of all I 
  miss the evenness of her breath when she falls asleep on my chest at the end 
  of the day.  I miss her, Julia, and I want her back."

  Julia responds, "Well, I miss my husband.  The crabby way that he wakes up 
  in the morning and trips over all the furniture until he gets his first cup 
  of coffee.  And my favorite part is when I catch him in an unguarded moment 
  when he's looking at Samantha.  And I miss the way he can look at me and
  look right through to my soul.  And the part I miss the most is how safe
  I feel when I get to put my head on his shoulder.  I miss my husband and
  I want him back."

  Julia returns to the courtroom.

  Sawyer is called as the next witness.  The DA asks Sawyer if BJ was
  affectionate with Frank and Sawyer tries to explain that yes, she was,
  but the Walkers are an affectionate family.  Dolly is sitting in the
  courtroom looking very nervous all throughout Sawyer's testimony.  The
  DA continues to question Sawyer about Frank's relationship with the
  he and BJ.  Sawyer tries to explain that Frank was their godfather,
  of course they were affectionate with them but Mason cousels him to
  restrict himself to only answering the questions put to him, no
  editorializing.

   Angela is still at the dig site when Rafe walks in and informs her there
  is still no word on Ted and Lilly but the general consensus is they spent
  the night together.  Angela is looking upset and has her own fantasy of
  the life Lilly and Ted would have together and it's not a pretty sight.
  She envisions Lilly in tacky, flowered bathrobe, hair in curlers, cigarette
  dangling from her mouth yelling at Ted that all he does is sit in front of
  the tv, they never talk, they never have any fun.  Ted, looking incredibly
  slovenly, is slouched in front of the tube with a cigarette and a beer
  when he pulls a picture of Angela out of his wallet and says no one 
  understands.  Angela snaps back to reality.  At the gatehouse Lilly is
  still undecided and we see Ted's fantasy of what life with Lilly could be
  like.  He sees Lilly as some sort of pollyanna, all happy and smiles and
  just perky as can be.  He's disgusted by her continual up attitude and
  is sitting on couch when Lilly comes out asking him to make a choice between
  chicken and steak for dinner but Ted's eyes deceive him and he envisions
  Angela instead.  Lilly tells him to close his eyes, she has a surprise. 
  When she tells him to open them Ted sees Angela standing before him in 
  a very brief pink and black lace eh, ah, undergarmet.  Angela turns into
  Lilly wearing something far less provocotive and Ted awakes from his
  fantasy with Lilly shaking him.

  Angela and CC arrive at the mansion for Ted's surprise party.  Back at
  the gatehouse Lilly finally puts the phone back on the hook and it rings
  immediately.  It's Rafe questioning her regarding Ted.  She politely
  tells him it's none of his business who she spends time or the night
  with and hangs up.  Ted comes in wanting to know who was on the line
  and Lilly, upset from her conversaton with Rafe, tells Ted she's made
  a decision about marrying him but wants to make the announcement in front
  of an audience and she knows just where to find one.  She goes up to
  change for the surprise party.

  At the courtroom DA Arnold continues to badger Sawyer.  Sawyer finally
  errupts and stands up and yells that BJ is the one that was wronged and
  that this trial is not serving justice or BJ.  BJ stands and yells for
  everyone to leave him alone.  Gavels banging, people yelling and finally
  Mason gets things quieted down.  The DA has one more question for Sawyer,
  "Did you see your sister at the murder scene?"  Sawyer hesitates and then
  very softly responds "Yes".  Julia on cross examination asks if he saw
  what BJ was doing and he says no.  He's dismissed but obviously upset.
  Jodie goes after him but can't comfort so Reese offers to try.  Meanwhile
  in the court McCabe and Arnold are huddled together again and Julia is
  curious as to what they could be cooking up.  We hear Arnold tell McCabe
  that it could blow up in his face and McCabe tries to reassure him.
  When court is reconvened DA Arnold begs the court's indulgence he has
  one more witness to call - Dolly Foster!  Julia objects but is overruled.
  Camera flashes to BJ.  She's having another flashback and it's Dolly
  knocking at the door of the motel room. The room is dark and Dolly keeps
  calling for BJ and we see BJ in the room holding the gun.

  Next on Santa Barbara.

  Julia:  I'm an attorney.  I know when the momentum of a trial is going
          against my client and from all indications BJ is looking at a
          conviction.  The only way out is to plea bargain and the tricky
          part will be convincing BJ.
