At the station the ADA talked to the detectives about Noah’s biological father going on trial for his crimes. Olivia told the ADA she didn’t want her life with Noah to be built on a lie, so records had to reflect that apprehended criminal Johnny D is Noah’s biological father.

In the police van, a female prisoner killed a male prisoner who was supposed to testify in court on the Johnny D case. At the prison Olivia and Rollins interviewed the female prisoner who killed the man. Olivia told her she would still have to testify in court but the woman refused. Finn questioned Johnny D on the case and Johnny D’s lawyer tried to give Finn a teddy bear to give to Olivia for Noah.

In court the woman was prepared to testify by Sonny and Rollins. The ADA then came in and asked her the same questions he would be asking her in front of the judge. During the actual trial the woman testified that when she met Johnny D he offered her money in exchange for sex. She said that Johnny D did not beat and rape her and that she had only said that he had earlier to avoid any harm coming to her. Johnny D requested a court appeal that would prevent Olivia from being able to legally adopt Noah.

The ADA said he was calling in favors for Olivia to try and prevent Johnny D from being able to block her from adopting Noah. Olivia then went to talk to more of Johnny D’s victims and asked them to tell their stories in court so the jury would know what Johnny D put them through. Olivia said they would be able to help send him to prison for life. One of the girls said he treated all of his victims like they were worthless. She said they were free now and that Johnny D didn’t control or own them. She also said they didn’t have to be afraid of him anymore.
