Jessica tells her that she has nothing to say. Margo says that Jessica just had Marshall removed from her home and dropped him as a client and she wants to know what Marshall did to her. Jessica says that Marshall did not do anything. She says that she just changed her mind. Margo says that she doesn't believe her. Jessica tries to explain that she knew Marshall was grief stricken and she thought helping him out would ease her guilt that she was feeling. Margo half accepts her explanation and says that she will inform Marshall that he will need new council. Jessica starts to walk Margo to the door. Margo stops and says that she can stay. Jessica says that won't be necessary. Margo tells her to call if she needs her. As Margo opens the door to leave, Jessica is choking back the tears and Ben is standing at the door.

He gives Jessica a kiss and then gets the food out for them. They sit down to eat and Ben is talking about their trip to Barbados. Jessica starts to think about Marshall forcing himself on her. She snaps out of the nightmare and jumps up off the couch. Ben asks if she is ok. Jessica says that she is ok and it has been one of those days. She asks Ben if they can get together later. Ben asks if she is feeling guilty about Travers. Jessica asks why should she be feeling guilty. Ben tells her that he is not going to pry, but if she needs to talk, he is always there. Jessica says that Marshall took him staying with her to mean something else and she ended it. Ben asks again if she is ok. She tells him that she is and she just needs some time alone. Ben says that he understands and she walks him to the door. When she closes the door, she locks it and puts the chain on the door.

At the police station, Marshall is taken into the interrogation room and has his handcuffs taken off. He turns to Margo and says that all this is a big mistake and he and Jessica had just had a disagreement. Margo says that is must have been some disagreement since Jessica refuses to be his council. Marshall says that everyone knows that he and Jessica have a volatile relationship. Margo asks how volatile are they talking.

He tells Margo that he wants to make his phone call. Margo leaves the interrogation room. Later, she comes back and Marshall informs her that his new council is on his or her way. Margo asks if the new council has any idea how they are going to spring him from this joint. He says that they don't, but he does. She informs him that his bail has already been denied. Marshall tells Margo to believe him when he says that in a few hours he will be sitting at the Lakeview Lounge enjoying a scotch, neat. Margo says, "Wow, your confidence is awe inspiring. Let's hope your right." She turns and leaves the interrogation room. After she is gone, he says, "Oh, I know I am."

She asks if things didn't go well with Molly. He tells her that Molly came there to see him and told him that she wanted him back. Carly says that is great and she will go and pack her stuff. She looks at Mike and asks if that is good news. Mike says that Molly can't get over the fact that he may be a father soon and that Carly will be a part of his life forever. Carly sits with Mike and says that if her living there is a problem then she is getting some money together and she will be getting her own place. Mike says that he doesn't think that will make any difference. He tells Carly that he has to go to work. He gets up and leaves the room. Carly watches him leave and then she says, "If you can't get Molly back, then I will have to get her back for you." Carly gets up and leaves the cottage.
