Judge and Jury

Obwohl Chase nur mit Krücken laufen kann, versucht er einen Großteil der anstehenden Arbeiten selbst zu erledigen. Lance ist bemüht, ihm Steine in den Weg zu legen. Melissa will um jeden Preis ihren ermordeten Vater rächen. Es gelingt ihr, Julia soweit zu bringen, dass sie sich in der gerichtlichen Voruntersuchung schuldig bekennt.

While Chase returns to Falcon Crest, Angela orders Lance to make his homecoming difficult. Lance, in an attempt to undermine the Giobertis, sends home Chase's crew and sabotages one of the vats. As the Giobertis attempt to do all the work themselves, a drainage lid breaks loose, spilling thousands of gallons of wine. After controlling the leak, Chase collapses from exhaustion. At Julia's trial, Philip motions to have Julia placed under psychiatric observation, but before the judge can rule, Julia pleads guilty on all counts. The Channings and Giobertis sit stunned, but Melissa sits smugly, knowing her mission has been accomplished by convincing Julia to lash out against Angela through her prison sentence. Alarmed, Philip warns Angela that Julia could receive the death penalty.
