Diana Leven prepares for her case by going over all the information Patrick has given to her. She wants to find when Peter switched from thought to action, in regard to the shooting. While looking at the list of students in the hospital, she sees Josie’s name and realizes she’s the daughter of Judge Cormier. Diana is shocked, and she feels that Alex knows she must recuse herself from the case.
Alex visits a makeshift memorial and, on seeing Matt’s cross, finds a picture of him and Josie. Alex begins crying and thinks about how lucky she is. There could just as easily have been a cross for Josie among the dead. There was another cross, one for Peter, but it kept getting vandalized. Alex thinks about Peter and realizes that Peter, too, is a victim. Meanwhile, Lacy deals with blowback from Peter’s actions at work. An expecting mother refuses to have Lacy deal with her child’s birth, and the woman says this in front of everyone. Lacy takes the woman’s side and says she understands, but the event has shaken her. She goes outside for air, where Jordan finds her. She tries explaining to Jordan that she and Lewis are being blamed too, and then asks him what he would do if his son, Sam, grew up to be someone he didn’t recognize.
