Meanwhile, EJ drops into the Cheatin' Heart to confront Nicole and accuse her of framing Ari. He brings up the fact that Ari has an alibi for the night of Justin's attack. "You're her alibi," he says. Nicole coughs. He asks her to corroborate receiving a check from Ari and help him find out who was really behind his attack. "I think you are going back to prison," he smugly says. She points out that if Ari has an alibi, then so does she. Elvis heads over to the cells to see Ari and tells her she could be home free.
