The weight of Michael's guilt bears down heavily on him as he remembers his role in the catastrophe.

Olivia confesses her failure to Nancy, both women mourning the lost opportunity to expose Jimmy Baxter and Mayor Figaro.

Nancy vows revenge, promising to seize their downfall when they inevitably stumble, for such is their nature.
Carmine rejects Gina's audacious proposal to appoint her as the matriarch of the family business. His traditional values forbid the elevation of a woman to such a prestigious position, both within the family and the business empire.
Monique offers to sell the club to Jimmy as a means of escaping the shadow of Janelle. She feels the establishment holds no value without her lover and believes selling it to Jimmy could serve as a redemption in Gina's eyes, who desires Monique's removal with every fiber of her being. In exchange, she demands control of the French Quarters territory for drug trafficking, but Jimmy balks at the idea. Meanwhile, Michael prepares to face the court, his fate hanging in the balance.
The tension mounts as the courtroom drama unfolds. Will Michael invoke his right to remain silent or will he offer an honest testimony? The judge makes it abundantly clear that Michael's questioning will be confined strictly to the events of the fateful night, leaving no room for distractions. Unfortunately, Lee suffers her first defeat of the morning, leaving the courtroom in a state of suspense and anticipation.
Michael's testimony commenced with a shocking revelation. He boldly confirmed witnessing Eugene pull the trigger on Adam, a moment that left everyone stunned. However, the surprise was far from over as he delved deeper into the matter, mentioning Kofi Jones. This unexpected turn gave Lee the chance to unveil the truth behind Adam's demise.
Fia's heart was shattered as she grasped the reality of the situation. She felt betrayed and betrayed deeply. Without hesitation, she gathered her belongings and Rocco, making a hasty exit from the Baxter household. Meanwhile, the family debated whether they were now embroiled in a legal mess, but their legal advisor assured them otherwise. That assurance lasted only until Michael's return to the witness stand the following day.
In Jimmy's comforting arms, Fia found solace, a sight that instantly ignited Gina's jealousy. Eugene, desperate to make his case heard, begged Lee to secure him a spot on the stand. He delivered a passionate, brutally honest, and unfiltered narrative of his life and the events surrounding his actions, leaving no stone unturned in his defense.
