Sam arrives at Julian’s and shares a glass of wine with Alexis – he is away dealing with something important, Alexis believes his claims he is out of the mob, but Sam thinks he’s capable of anything. She agrees he has come a long way since he came to town, but Alexis asks just how long a way? Alexis says all she has are her instincts, and she thinks he IS telling the truth, even though it does look bad for him. She has decided to trust him until he proves her otherwise. Alexis admits Sonny knows how to push her buttons, they know he despises Julian, she tells Sam she envies her relationship with Jason – she just loved him, end of story. They change the subject to Franco’s trial – Sam wants Silas’ killer to rot in prison, but now she isn’t sure he is the killer, after talking to Kiki. Sam remembers how much Silas did for her family.. he deserved so much more. Sam hugs Alexis, asks her to tell Julian she is on his side, and leaves.. Alexis smiles.

Courtroom Drama!
In the courtroom, Scotty tells Denise he has proof she is Ava! Denise mocks his so-called evidence, she wants to know where it came from and suggests it’s fake.. Scotty submits the test results as evidence, while both Kiki and Morgan look on, stunned. Denise says it’s meaningless, but Scott says this new DNA was performed on her saliva, which can’t change. The previous test was from a blood smear, which CAN change especially if you’ve received a bone marrow transplant. He tells the court she received it from her daughter, Avery Jerome! He tells Ava she survived her fall, Silas helped her and discovered she had cancer.. the only way to save her life was through a bone marrow transplant, and he knew who she was all along, didn’t he?? He says the secret was too much for him and he was going to tell the world.. and accuses her of silencing Silas by murdering him! Denise says the theory is insane.. Scotty accuses her of causing Kiki pain, and it was too much for Silas to bear. Ric has no problem with the line of questioning, as Ava Jerome would face a trial for the murder of Connie Falconeri. Scotty accuses her of being indifferent to Kiki’s feelings.. Ava yells that she is her heart and soul, and everything she did was for her and her sister she came back to be with them and yells.. “I am Ava Jerome!”.
Kiki asks if she is hallucinating.. how can this be true?? Scotty demands the charges against Franco be dropped.. Ava stops him, yes she is Ava but she didn’t kill Silas. She actually has proof – Franco asks her to stop, but she shows Ric the photo on her phone.. your wife did it! She was at the scene of the crime to talk to Silas as he was going to tell Kiki the truth – she took the picture and got out of there. Ric asks for a recess.. he has no choice but to charge his wife with the murder of Silas Clay.

Ric returns and arrests Ava for the murder of Connie Falconeri!
