Episode 820

Jake reappraises the turn which his career is taking and hesitates in his choice to play an actor in Mel's film. But Hayley succeeds in persuading him of the benefits. Cruz's trial resumes. Keith calls Gina to the stand. Gina tells everyone that Pamela suddenly was living another lifestyle some days after her arrival in the city. Pamela then explains that she accepted 100 000 dollars from C.C., but only with the intention of her leaving Santa Barbara.  Keith questions C.C. finally and declares to suspect him of having paid Pamela with the intention of perjury in the court to exonerate Cruz. The trial ends and jurors leave to deliberate. Eden accuses her father for this act and to be the possible reason of the conviction of Cruz, by having destroying - even involuntarily - the only means of defence which he had...

An amusing special effect: Jake's picture on the huge advertising poster for The Beast answers his questions by a twinkle!
