In Jordan’s office, Jordan explains to Trina that they are investigating what happened to Joss and Cam. Trina wants to help find who set her friends up and make them pay. Jordan questions her if she saw anyone go into Joss and Cam’s room at the cabin, but she didn’t see anything. She suspects Esme did it and had many chances to plant the camera. Jordan asks where she was after Esme and Spencer left. Trina tells her about the drinking game, how she was hit hard by the hot toddy. Trina didn’t even know Spencer and Esme left until hours later because she blacked out. Jordan reminds her she can call a legal advocate or parent, but Trina has nothing to hide.

Jordan reveals the reason she brought Trina in was that someone sent a tip that she was seen looking at the video on her phone weeks before it was released. Trina says that is a lie and offers to show Jordan her phone. She digs through her bag and is stunned to find the second phone Esme planted. Trina insists she’s never seen the other phone and has no idea how it got in her bag.

Nikolas arranges for her to stay in the room above Kelly’s. She thanks him and jumps into his arms giving him a huge hug.

At the bar, Nina wonders where her aunt is, and realizes Obrecht set her up to talk to Scott. Scott thinks she doesn’t want to drag Michael to court because she has it bad for Sonny. Scott advises she can’t have both Wiley and Sonny, she’ll have to make a choice. He promises to do everything he can to help her get Wiley, but if it’s Sonny she wants then she’s on her own.

Taggert and Portia arrive, and Taggert lashes out at Jordan saying he thought they were friends.

In the interrogation room, Trina swears to her parents that she doesn’t know where the second phone came from, and she didn’t think talking to Jordan was a big deal because she hasn’t done anything wrong. Taggert and Portia advise she talk to no one else until their lawyer arrives.

In Jordan’s office, she fills Curtis in on how the tip led them to Trina and the second phone. Curtis notes this seems too easy.
