Mac walks down the corridor towards Harm's hospital room. As she is about to enter the room, she comes face to face with Jordan who quickly attempts to dry away the tears that are slipping down her cheeks.

For me,....no........but for you......well, let's just say I've let Harm off the hook! So, ........I guess that makes him all yours now, doesn't it!

Jordan pushes her way past Mac and hastily walks off down the corridor. Mac gazes toward Harm in total bewilderment.

Well,.....apparently she's under the impression that I'm in love with another woman.

Harm observes Mac closely for a long moment as her face flushes red with embarrassment and she attempts to jokingly brush it all off.

Well, I'm afraid that Jordan wasn't kidding, Mac!....In fact, she's so convinced that it's the truth that she's broken off our relationship.

At that moment, Ensign Salyer enters the room and approaches Harm and Mac.

I am really sorry to interrupt,... ma'am.......sir,....... but I've got a strict schedule to keep and according to that schedule, sir, you and I should have been down in physical therapy ten minutes ago!

Well then, Ensign, you had better get to it!..(drawing closer to Harm)......I've really got to get back to JAG anyway!.........(touching his hand) You take care!

Mac, Imes and Mattoni are seated around the conference table already in the midst of taking Mac's testimony for the upcoming Article 32 hearing. Mac is obviously somewhat agitated from the interview as is Imes.........Mattoni maintaining a calmer demeanor than his counterparts.

Colonel, with what you're giving us, we really don't have a very strong case!

Well, let's cross that bridge when we come to it, Commander! (gazing to Mac) In the meantime, I think we really need to go over everything one more time. Maybe it will help to jog your memory.

Mac irritably gazes to Mattoni no words needing to be said to express the deep anguish and frustration she's feeling.

I went home with Captain Peterson that night..... making a stop at Malcolms.

Just that the top of the bottle. It was wrapped in a brown paper bag.

On our way in, he started complaining of a headache and asked if I had anything for it. So, I let him inside ...offered him the aspirin he had requested and even invited him to a cup of coffee........

And do you remember ever leaving your cup unattended for any reason?

Umm.... I hate to bring this up, but we already know that test results are inconclusive for date rape drugs, so why go there?

The tests were inconclusive, Carolyn, not negative,..... and if we are going to find a way to argue this case, we need to know every detail possible.

I think you could have something there, Commander, because I can remember feeling very tired after that where before I had been on edge .........and.......it's in that same time frame where my memories seem to become vague and fragmented.

Then it must have been when he slipped something into your coffee, Mac!

Mac eyes meet Mattoni's. She then stands and walks away from the table her anxiety showing through as she attempts to sort through the memories of that night. There is a long pause of silence in the room as Imes and Mattoni consider Mac's testimony.

You're an attorney, Sarah, so you've got to know that this case is basically your word against his. It's going to be very hard to get a conviction.

I'm well aware of that, Carolyn. (she pauses starring out the window) What I want to know is, do you believe me?

In all honesty, Sarah, I don't believe you would be putting yourself through this if it weren't anything but the truth.

Well, thanks for your vote of confidence, Carolyn. (she pauses as she turns from the window to meet Imes's gaze) I am going to need a strong advocate in that court room on Friday and if for one moment either of you have any doubts in regards to my honesty or my integrity then I expect to know about it before I agree to your counsel.

Well, Colonel, considering the manner in which this man violated you, I have every intention of nailing the bastards ass to the wall!

Mac and Imes are taken aback by Mattoni's sudden passion for justice and gaze to him in unison.

Well, Commander, you're attitude is compelling! (she turns to Mac) And as it is reflective of my sentiments, I guess you will have two passionate advocates in your court on Friday, Mac!

Mac gazes to each of the attorney's standing before her wishing all too well that they were as confident as they tried to pretend to be. Her very life and career placed in their hands Mac felt uneasy at best.
