“Under the circumstances, I think I deserve a medal.”
Haley needs more, as the jury will be studying them and they don’t feel together.
Well, they better get feeling together soon, because the trial has arrived.
Feeling lonely, Jonathan calls Grace.
She initially passes, instead opting for his latest apology and reminiscing about the good ol' times.
Then, one of her famous walks actually has a destination in mind: her home.
She gets in bed with Jonathan for some cuddling and more.
He comes clean that he once spotted dad with Elena.
Making matters worse, Jonathan saw his son, opting to just smile “like it was nothing.”
Henry says that if he had told Grace then maybe none of this would have happened.
I always knew he was a daddy’s boy!
Of everything that has gone down, this seems to be what has hurt Grace the most.
“He would do anything for you,” says Grace, later unloading on Jonathan.
“Why would you do that to our son?!”
They will have to save this for family court, because it’s time for criminal court.
Mendoza is on the stand, prompting the prosecutor to show gruesome photos of Elena’s unrecognizable body.
Grace knew this was coming, so she doesn’t flinch.
He further adds, “If we can survive this trial, I think this family can survive.”
Children of divorce can relate to part of this, and (hopefully) not the murder trial part.
This hits Jonathan hard and he needs some air.
When Grace follows him, he has another confession: He never had a dog.
“I killed the family sister,” he reveals.
“Because it was my f—ing fault.”
Once court is back underway, it’s Fernando’s turn to testify.
“You disgust me.”
Haley suggests that there were other men and that Elena was receiving psychiatric treatment.
Fernando snaps, gesturing at Jonathan and screaming, “He did this!”
Left alone as he waits for Haley, Jonathan solemnly clicks through photos of Elena.
“Quite madly.”
Haley comes with news that he must testify.
Her advice: “Don’t pretend to be honest, because you’ve told too many lies.
Don’t be pretend to be a good husband, a decent father, because you are arguably neither.
We don’t need to give them a good man, just someone who didn’t commit murder.”
Upon opening it, she finds what looks awfully like the sculpting hammer that killed Elena.
Henry wakes up and they look at each other, both of their eyes as big as can be.
Like father, like son?
