D.A. Woods fails to talk adoptive son Chad out of attending Nicoel's trial. She confesses and accepts 'any punishment', but Elvis and Sami nearly incur contempt of court convictions when they cry out against Brady's testimony, the minimal sentence for 'exemplary contrition' and judge Goldberg's sneering at their own colorful to criminal records. Elvsi pays the ransom, but tracks the calls to brother Tony's widow Anna.
