Blair, Todd and Max end up in the elevator together on the way up to the courthouse. Todd stops the elevator and demands Max change his testimony.

Though she tries to convince him of their strong feelings and pull towards each other, Ben explains that he wants no parts of them and that Gina is all about the chase and winning anyway. He denies feeling what she does and assures her that she can't have him, that he only loves Viki and she'll have to accept it. Gina disconnects the monitor to prevent Viki from watching further, but she storms downstairs to where Viki is imprisoned. She invents the conversation after the monitor "broke" but when Viki taunts her over what has transpired, she becomes even more upset; she tries to persuade Viki that she will have Ben and that no one can give him what she has. She warns Viki that her status can be changed (Ben stated that he will only love Viki as long as they are alive). Upstairs, Jackie pays Ben a visit where it is requested that he look for Viki, make sure she's ok, and present her with a gift-a "We will survive together" gold record charm bracelet.

Jess is less than thrilled when Lindsay pays a visit, looking for Will. She wants to know what Jess said at the police station but Jess refuses to play along with her, instead accusing Lindsay of using Will to protect herself. She knows that Lindsay was involved in Nora's kidnapping and poor Will defended his mother but couldn't look Jess in the eyes-she knows that Colin told Will the truth and it's torturing him.

Bo accuses Todd of bringing the snake to court and orders him to open his coat so that he can give up the evidence he took. Though Todd is wearing a snake shirt, there is no evidence. Just then, John comes from the courtroom with Starr in tow. The men are disgusted as they use probable cause to search and seize the evidence from the little girl's backpack. Blair comes by and Sam warns her to stay away from Todd while he's worried that Starr will become just like her father. Todd apologizes profusely to Blair saying he wants to fix things but she wants no parts of him. She's only worried about what will happen to Starr if she goes to prison. Sam announces that court is back in session and once inside he pleads Blair's case saying that she needs psychiatric help, due to her family history. Judge Fitzwater refuses to dismiss the charges as Max looks on, gloating. Sam will plead temporary insanity but it will be difficult, he tells Blair, and also warns her not to play any tricks.
