Nora has Lindsay on the witness stand right where she wants her. She gets Lindsay to agree that the real killer could be anybody. Lindsay says anyone other than her. Nora wants to let the jury know just how truthfull, honest kind of person Lindsay really is. Nora brings up the dna test and the sperm count that was changed. Lindsay pretends not to know what she is talking about. Nora brings out a deposition from a lab tech. Lindsay finally relents and admits that yes, she did do those things. Lindsay says later on she had an attack of concious and went to Bo and told him what she had done. Nora asks if she thinks she will have another attack of concious in a few years, about murdering Colin and blaming it on her ex-husband. Lindsay swears she is telling the truth, she didn't kill Colin. Nora brings up another time when Lindsay told Bo that she was forced off the road by a bunch of thugs and it took her days to find her way back to Llanview. When in reality she was really relaxing in a spa in NYC. Nora has a copy of her bill. Lindsay finally admits that she was at the spa. Lindsay claims that she is not a liar, the few times she has have been exceptional. Nora then asks her if she came to see Nora when she had lost her memory and to tell her that Lindsay had always been the best of friends. Finally, Lindsay does admit that she did do that too. Nora is getting a little carried away with her accusations and the judge admonishes her. Nora is very pleased that Lindsay opened the door for her when she asked Nora why would she want to accuse the father of her children. Nora brings out the reason Sam divorced her was because she was having an affair with Sam's law partner. Nora asks her if she was trying to 'get even' with Sam. Nora asks her why she took Jenn and fled the county and try to hide when the trial began. Lindsay says she thought she was protecting her children. Nora then brings up Lindsay's affair with Colin while he was married to her sister. Nora tries to get her to admit that she hated Colin. Lindsay wants to know why she would hate him. Again, Nora is happy that she opened that door. She tells the Lindsay that maybe because he was blackmailing her about kidnapping Nora and giving her the memory erasing drugs. She has Lindsay's bank records and can prove large withdrawals, that Lindsay paid to Colin in cash. Then when she ran out of money, she killed him. Hank objects as the courtroom erupts again. The judge gets control of the courtroom and reminds Nora to stick to the facts. She reviews all the facts they have brought out so far in the courtroom. Nora wants to know if Lindsay can give her the name of one person in the whole town that would vouch for her honesty. Lindsay looks all around the room. No, she can not. Nora has no more questions for this witness. Hank doesn't either. Lindsay gets up and starts to make a very uncomfortable exit from the courtroom, only Bo stops her and informs her that she is under arrest.
