Carly testifies that she saw Turk give himself two steroid injections on the day the coach died. She babbles about his mood and such, and soon blurts out that Turk said he was going to kill the coach. Jordan stands and moves for an immediate mistrial, and the judge clears the courtroom...
...and after that's done, the lawyers are arguing in front of the judge. Matt and Keith point out that in this particular case, a mistrial will mean Turk can't be tried again, as double jeopardy applies when the mistrial is a result of prosecutorial misconduct. The D.A. denies having coached Carly to break privilege, but the judge wants to talk to her before she makes a ruling.
Eli's in his office working on his closing arguments when Maggie interrupts, saying that talking to himself isn't a good sign. To paraphrase Edina from Absolutely Fabulous, it's better than talking to you. Eli sits down, and Maggie, like all girls with boyfriends they're devoted to do, sits with him and familiarly asks what's wrong. He tells her about the earthquake, although he's not explicit about the visions from above part, and he's surprised that she believes him. She replies, "Why wouldn't I?" Why wouldn't you? Why would you, you infuriating simp! I mean, he at least made a real case with Taylor and Patti. God! Eli about says as much, but Maggie says that since she's gotten to know him, he's been "nothing but honest and sincere." Except when YOU FREAKED OUT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT HIS ANEURYSM OH MY GOD THAT WAS JUST TWO WEEKS AGO AND I HATE YOU SO MUCH! Ahem. Anyway, Eli is moved by this cane sugar, almost tearing up as he says that Nate, Patti, and Taylor all didn't believe him, but Maggie does. "You didn't even hesitate." That's because she's an idiot, Eli. Would you be about to burst into tears if you successfully convinced her that two and two are five? Eli moves in for the kiss, but Maggie rebuffs him, pointing out that he said nothing could happen. She stomps out, and I'm glad she stopped him but she's still bugging the crap out of me into the commercial break.
