Russ and Barb receive a visit from their youngest but estranged son, Mark; Carter's defence team manage to get a bail hearing.

Carter supporters arrive to march through Modesto, but are met with contempt; Barb wishes to organise her own march and realises her racist ideals; Tony is welcomed to juvenile detention as a hero.

The public's opinion helps Carter's preliminary examination date get moved up but with a cost; after a heart-to-heart conversation with Tony, he does everything to help him.

Barb goes to the media to bring attention to her son's case; Tony berates his father for not expressing concern over Jenny; Carter's situation worsens when Aubry is encouraged to give information against him.

Lives are forever changed as the case comes to a close; Carter has doubts about his initial release; Hector and Tony are given the opportunity for a fresh start.

An exhausted Barb reaches her breaking point; Aubry's sudden confession turns the investigation upside down.
