A tense confrontation erupts when someone threatens to abort a pregnancy after accusing Fletcher of ruining Camillia's parents. Fletcher insists the unborn child is innocent and tells the pregnant woman he has been gathering evidence to clear her father's name. Others demand proof, accuse him of lying for personal gain, and refuse to trust empty promises. Fletcher says he has applied to be the father's defense attorney and takes an oath, but admits there's no solid evidence yet. Amelia is pushed out; the defense application raises stakes, but proof and the baby's future remain unresolved.
