At Spring Ridge, Trina surprises Esme as she’s looking for Ace’s binky. Esme recognizes her as Spencer’s friend, and one of the people she hurt according to her lawyers. They sit down, and Esme asks why she hated Trina so much. Trina asks if she’s admitting she’s guilty. Esme can’t say, but everyone tells her that she’s a terrible human being. Esme prays she never remembers that person and she just wants to raise Ace. Trina notes Spencer’s baby brother is a real cutie. Esme snaps, “He’s my baby and Spencer can’t have him!”

Trina tells Esme she didn’t suggest otherwise. Esme asks if Spencer sent her, but Trina says Spencer doesn’t even know she’s here. Trina came to see how the baby was but does feel prison is no place for him. Esme says she can’t imagine life without him, and she loves Ace so much. She is sorry for what she did to her and her friends, but she’s not that person anymore. She laments to go to prison for something she doesn’t remember doing isn’t fair, and her lawyers say her father was influencing her.

Esme has to put Ace down but first asks Trina if she passed the test. She assumes Trina came to see if she was lying. Trina says she’s always been an excellent liar, and she did come to judge her for herself. Esme thanks her for her honesty, and says she is not lying about her amnesia. Esme heads out with Ace. Alone, Trina calls Joss and says she has something important to tell her, Cam and Spencer, and to meet at Sonny’s place.

At Sonny’s place, Spencer asks Sonny why he wants Dex to stay there. Sonny doesn’t have to justify his decision. Dex excuses himself, and Spencer vents he’s in a bad mood and Dex is the last person he wants to see. Sonny asks what’s happened. Spencer explains Cam is leaving for Stanford, and Joss broke up with Cam to get with Dex. Sonny says if Joss broke up with Cam that’s on her, not Dex. Sonny has to step out and see Nina but asks him to lay off Dex and coexist peacefully.

After Sonny leaves, Dex appears and Spencer asks him why he’s lying to his uncle about Joss. Dex asks what he’s lying about. Spencer knows Dex was told to stay away from Joss but accuses him of sneaking around with her. Dex asks if he thinks Joss is someone who sneaks around, and Spencer admits she’s not. He tells Spencer there is his answer.

Suddenly, Joss and Cam appear at the door. Dex lets them in and retires to his room after Spencer asks for privacy for him and his friends. Cam asks if Dex is living here, and Spencer says his uncle invited him and he can’t believe it.

Trina soon arrives and reveals she went to see Esme. She is amazed at how different Esme is, and if she’s faking, she’s very convincing. Trina reveals her plan to ask the DA to drop the charges against Esme. She explains as long as Esme is in prison, so is Ace. Spencer still believes Esme needs to pay for what she’s done. Trina says if she’s tried right now, Esme could be found innocent because of her memory issues, and the jury may feel for her being a new mother. Trina notes if Esme then got her memory back, she couldn’t be tried again. She also says the trial could take months, and Ace will remain in jail with her. They all agree to set Esme free for Ace’s sake. Trina calls Diane, who asks them all to come and meet with her immediately.

Back at Spring Ridge, Esme gets a piece of mail. She throws it to the ground in shock when she sees it’s from Heather. She eventually picks the envelope up and opens it. Inside is a card, and Esme appears terrified as she reads it.
