At Franco’s hearing, Scotty is called to the stand and tells the court he admitted to faking his condition. His lawyer reminds him he never should have told Scotty he was sane if he didn’t want it to come out – Scotty would never lie under oath. The judge decides the trial should proceed. Franco can’t believe Scotty ratted him out, but Scotty tells him his lawyer is a shark.. he explains how it may be better to stand trial when Franco wasn’t responsible for Heather’s actions.. and he didn’t know Nina stole the baby until he got to Canada, which is out of his jurisdiction. As the DA, he would have to drop the charges! Franco quietly thanks him.
