Na sodišču nastopi ključna priča – Živa. Borut prek Ket izsledi Lexy, ki očitno nekaj ve tudi o Nikini usodni noči.
Nika preda svoje dokaze o dogodkih usodne noči v DNK analizo. Njena prezaposlenost s sodiščem na račun stranke poglablja razkol v Nikinem odnosu s Hafnerjem. Nikina glavna želja je, da porazi Krivica in Pretnarja in to željo še dodatno podžiga njena osebni motiv, da se jima maščuje.. Ket razkrije, da je bila na zabavi, kjer so jo napadli, poklicno. Ker pa se ne spomni tiste noči, morata z Borutom izslediti njeno sodelavko Lexy, a ta ne želi spregovoriti o dogodku. Nedolžna pri vsem tem pa očitno ni niti Špela Perič.
At court, the key witness — Živa — takes the stand. Through Ket, Borut tracks down Lexy, who apparently knows something about Nika’s fateful night. Nika submits her evidence from that night for DNA analysis. Her preoccupation with the trial at the expense of her client deepens the rift in her relationship with Hafner. Nika’s main goal is to defeat Krivic and Pretnar, a desire further fueled by her personal motive of revenge. Ket reveals that she was at the party where the attack occurred in a professional capacity. Since she cannot remember that night, she and Borut must find her colleague Lexy — but Lexy refuses to speak about the event. And it seems that Špela Perič is not entirely innocent in all of this either.
