Plot Overview

Mary and Jim entered the courtroom and approached the table where Russ and Dru were conferring, then Rachel entered with Brian. Caroline failed to convince Pat that nursing the babies was a strain and an inconvenience. Receiving a call from her old friend Mildred, Caroline related how John was a successful and respected lawyer, but that Pat seemed unwell, pale and weak. Pat arrived in court and shared with her parents John's hunch, which Mary agreed with, but Jim felt they should take Rachel's action at face value. Dru advised the Matthews not to worry that Steve hadn't shown. Brian ordered Rachel not to elaborate when answering Dru's questions, and said Steve likely won't show up as a man with his reputation and position couldn't afford some scandalous speculation in the papers. As Dru told Russ the blood tests strengthened their case, Brian assured Rachel any blood tests were irrelevant. Brian questioned Rachel on the stand about the basic facts of the case. Dru didn't object when Brian wanted to refer to the baby's natural father as Mr. X to save him from being subject to humiliation. Rachel explained she deserved alimony because she'd worked hard as Russ's wife, cooking, sewing, and doing the laundry for him. According to Rachel, Russ grumped, growled, and criticized, and treated her like a piece of furniture, until he drove her into the arms of Mr. X. She'd given the trust fund money back because she wanted only the money she was entitled to, such as alimony.

Quotes

• Brian: Take a moment to collect yourself. Tell us in your own words what your marriage to Russell Matthews was like.
• Rachel: It was awful, if you want to know the truth about it. When I married Russ, he was an intern. He didn't make much money.
