Greg look quite startled to learn that Rachel had been a prostitute and had committed murder.

Rachel ran out of the courtroom and Greg followed her. Rachel admitted to Greg she was terrified of losing control. "When I lose control people get hurt, people die," she said. "That's why Rachel doesn't want to lose control," she added. Greg admitted it was a game. "I knew I could push your buttons," he said. Rachel suggested that Greg stay away from her. Instead, Greg pulled Rachel into a passionate kiss.

Carlotta wondered why Cris had the book "How To Tell Your Parents You're Gay." Carlotta hugged Cris and said that she was okay with Cristian being gay. "You don't have to lie anymore," Carlotta said.

Layla explained that the book was for a friend of theirs. Carlotta added that she'll always worry about Cris. "You just haven't found the right girl to settle down with," Carlotta said.

John rushed to the jail because he knew that Keaton was heading down to Cole's cell. Keaton, knowing Cole was working undercover, opened the cell.
