Arlene is in a hurry to get out of town. She is eager to avoid being connected to Vanessa’s necklace. She realizes all of a sudden that she is thought to be dead, she really doesn’t have anything to worry about. Arlene gets her drink and sits to continue enjoying her vacation. She wants a back rub and gets one, a very rough one from Mateo. She turns in horror and looks into the eyes of Mateo! He found her by greed; it always trips her up. She has been living first class all the way. He thinks that she looks good. The night of the party after she was left for dead, the water revived her. A nice man in his yacht rescued her and she expressed her attitude. She told the man, Jasper how her family had turned on her. He hung out with her for a while and then he left to do business. Mateo thinks that the man that got tired of her boozing dumped her. Mateo tells her that Hayley had a nervous breakdown and became Arlene. She couldn’t live with herself. Now Hayley wants to tell the cops what she did. She wants to confess. Her whole lie is up to Arlene. Arlene has been thinking that Hayley would be dancing on her grave and glad that she was dead. She is surprised that Hayley does love her. Mateo grabs the phone right away and Arlene tells him that she can’t help because she will be linked to the necklace and she can’t do that. Mateo makes the call and finds out that Hayley is in custody. He quickly calls Liza…Hayley is put on the phone. She thinks that Mateo will be mad at her. He tells her that she isn’t in trouble at all. She didn’t kill her mother after all. He has found Arlene. Hayley thinks that it is a joke. Mateo puts Arlene on the phone. Instead of talking, she hits Mateo in the back of the head with the phone and she hangs up.

Hayley is confused as to why Mateo would tell her that Arlene was alive when she really isn’t. She tells Adam and Liza what Mateo had said to her. It is five minutes before the hearing. No matter what happens, Hayley is doing this because she loves her father. Liza wants Adam to stay calm and not do anything that he will regret. The only thing that Adam regrets is not doing right by her years ago. Adam goes into the courtroom for a private moment. Adam knew another judge with the same last name and tells this judge that the other judge helped him out once and now he is sitting on a much higher bench. The judge tells Adam that there is a penalty for trying to bribe a judge. The judge has no intention of dropping the case. Jack walks into the room and can’t believe that Adam was trying to bribe the judge. The judge calls the hearing to order. Hayley and Adam stand before the judge. They are charged in the murder of Arlene. They could get 20 years, plus 5 years, plus 10 years, plus 30 years, plus a death sentence. Adam can’t stand listening to the charges and throws himself on the mercy of the court and tells the judge that he is the one that deserves to be punished, not Hayley. Adam’s lawyer tells him to sit down and shut up and let them do their jobs. Hayley and Jack are talking and Hayley is not worried. She knows what she is doing. Recommendations are that because of Adam’s behavior, bail will be denied. Adam can’t sit still and jumps up and tells the judge that the court is an ass. He gets fined $10,000. Hayley stands up and tells the judge that she doesn’t want a trial. She would like to plead guilty and accept her punishment. Adam jumps up and shouts and rants and raves that they shouldn’t accept what she is saying. She is on her own now. Hayley asks the judge to please go easy on her father. She is sure that he is free. She wants to clean up her own mess. She asks that they release her father and let her plead guilty to the charge. The judge decides to reject Hayley’s plea at the moment. The judge will accept her wishes at the next court date that they have. In order to cause confusion in the courtroom, Adam has caused a fire in a nearby wastepaper basket. As other rush to the fire, Adam grabs Hayley’s hands and tells her that they will have to have the trial without them. The smoke soon fills the room and Adam drags Hayley with him as he tries to make a run for it. They get outside the courtroom when they are stopped dead in their tracks. Standing before them is Mateo and…. Arlene! Hayley is very glad to see her.
