Cora admitted that she's considering a confession just to put an end to the trial and all the publicity. Phil informed Mike that Louise suddenly changed last year after a trip to Reno to get their divorce. Mike hustled to stop Cora's confession, warning that if Cora confesses, her only alternative to jail is permanent confinement to an asylum. Phil lied to Harry that he's going to re-marry Louise. Mike was delighted by Harry's jealous reaction to the news, since it gives Harry a motive for framing Cora.
- Mike theorized that Harry solved two problems at once by killing a blackmailer, Marilyn, and framing his drunken wife Cora for the crime. Winston followed Mike's advice to undermine Harry's confidence by turning up the pressure on his business. Harry handed over blackmail money to Duke, but argued he can't afford any more because of heat from the cops and sudden cash flow problems. Duke suggested that Harry play it cool because the cops are using the old squeeze-play maneuver to make him crack.
