She's nothing like who Deb was. Her friend realizes that she is jealous of this woman.

They are at court with the chimp and the husband taught Sonny sign language. Nick Coleman comes up and talks to Jane about if the harddrive is given to the victim that she will drop the charges. Sam still claims that she didn't do it. There is proof that she stole the hard drive. There is video proof that she stole it in fact. After court, they ask why she lied to them.
