Late to the party as I thought today was included but last week was #hedgehogawarenessweek

Sadly this is how lots of Hedgehogs are ending up. You tend to see more Hedgehogs squashed on the tarmac than you will most likely see alive.

However if youd like to help change that you have to be willing to make the changes to your garden!

13X13cm holes in the base of your fence panels will let your spikey friends pass through the gardens to access food, shelter and mates, potentially keeping them off the streets. Whilst this isnt for everyone theres still things you can do.

We've had a lot of hot weather recently so water is really important shallow bowls of water are a great addtion to your garden especially if you add pebbles to make it insect friendly too. If you dont have a pond you could add one, however do make sure there wildlife ramps so if someone falls in they can get back out.

If you are going to garden for wildlife, you can leave your lawns longer, create log piles, leave leaf litter pilled to create a natural den or hunting space you can even add your own man made Hedgehog home to the mix.

You can do away with the plant netting, drop the poisons and the pesticides whilst youre at it. Get the whole family involved and learn new ways to look after your spaces. Once the kids have gone in though dont forget to put the football goals away as this can be a source for entanglement too!

Two of these skulls have come from the same site theres been another one and thankfully one sent to rehab. All of which have been injured on way or another. Id like to find less.

Day Twenty Five: a cold day in late autumn, which is silent and deeply lonely

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤsummoned especially for @v1ctimplagued

ㅤThe clocks had changed and in a small town like this, the streets were quiet as the sun went down earlier than they were all used to just yet. Steve usually enjoyed the quiet chill, the scent of dry leaves and potential threat of a storm looming in the late autumn evening air, but there was something about the night around him as he locked up the coffeeshop that felt heavy. It felt like a warning, something looming closer, and he cursed softly at himself for staying so late. Part of it had been prep for the morning, which he would not be responsible for and therefore wanted to make sure was well-prepared, and another part had been a client that had specifically requested a time after she herself got off of work.

ㅤHis cousin did spellwork out of the big old house they lived in and it was certainly atmospheric enough, but he'd found that the cozy warmth of the cafe was more inviting for a lot of people, especially if they were nervous, so he sometimes did some work there and kept a kit in his little office space for such occasions. The shop itself had its share of stock for the things he used regularly in the tiny spells he employed in his daily work - mostly a little boosted energy, positive outlook, good mood kind of spellwork, nothing big in the grand scheme of anytime, but a little something nice. Some people ordered a bit deeper for addtional help, but fortunately, there was usually more warning than he'd gotten that day.

ㅤThere was the distinct impression that he was getting even less warning about something else as he hesitated outside the locked door. A part of him considered unlocking it and disappearing back inside, but what would that accomplish? His cousin was out of town, the house was empty and it was walking distance, so he only had a few minutes before he'd be on his own property, which would make it very difficult for anything or anyone to make his night a problem. Just a short walk.

ㅤHe pulled out his phone as he pushed himself into motion, dropping Robin and Maria both a text that would probably seem way too vague to most people and maybe even to them, but he knew they'd get it when something just felt off - all he really needed was for someone to know that there was the potential tonight, so that if he didn't get home or they noticed anything weird for themselves (because it didn't have to have anything to do with him, it could have been any kind of impending trouble), they'd be better prepared.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWeird vibes on the air tonight in town.

ㅤHe'd barely sent it off to both of them, probably a block into his walk towards the edge of town where the old house sat on its perch overlooking the ocean and lives that had spread out before it over the few centuries it had stood, when he heard something. It was small, a little scrape like something against the sidewalk, fabric, something that could have been anything, except that it wasn't. There were five of them, jocks from the looks of them and wasn't that hysterical given who Steve had been back in his parents' town before he'd come out to the island to live with Maria. Back in Hawkins, he doubted these guys would have even thought to catch him on a sidewalk after dark, but then, maybe they would. He was pretty sure the guy in front was his client's boyfriend, the one that she was trying to break up with, so this wasn't going to go well.

ㅤ"Hey, guys, what's up?" he asked, keeping it as casual as he could as he slowed to a stop, relaxing his bag on his shoulder. Unfortunately, there was nothing in it that could be used as a weapon and it wasn't really heavy enough to swing as one - not to mention, he didn't want to smash it all, but if it was looser, he could put it down and they couldn't grab him by it.

ㅤ"Did she come see you?" the boyfriend asked, and Steve struggled on a name, easily feeding that into the confused look he offered up.

ㅤ"Who?"

ㅤ"Don't play stupid, she went to see you for some of your freaky satanic magic, didn't she?" the boyfriend demanded, and Steve's eyes passed over him to the boys around him to catch a smattering of whispered 'witch' from them. It was no surprise, given the reputation his family had apparently always had in town and which he and his cousin were upholding now, but it definitely flavored this interaction in a way that he still wasn't quite accustomed to.

ㅤ"Uh, nope, can't say I know what you're talking about. No Satan here, no 'she', whoever you're looking for. I make coffee, man, and I've been up since like 4am, so I'd like to get home," he said, letting the weariness of a full day at the shop into his voice and expression, like maybe that would help with diffusing the situation and get him out of there faster, but no dice. He tried to step forward, the boyfriend blocked his path, he moved to go around him and was grabbed by one of the others to yank him back.

ㅤHe wasn't sure who threw the first punch because he turned sideways to avoid it and the one that followed, but he swung and caught one kid in the nose, took a fist to his cheekbone that rocked his concentration for a few seconds and then it just got chaotic. He was grossly outnumbered and even with a size advantage on at least two of them, it wasn't going in his favor at all when it stopped so that two of them could yank him up and his client's jackass boyfriend could face him once more for questions that he wasn't going to answer.

ㅤ"What did you give her?"

ㅤ"Eat shit, dickhead."

ㅤOne didn't have to imagine too hard how that went, since there was a harsh impact and a softer grunt from him, but he chuckled a little after and spit blood before eyeing him again. "You're making a mistake, man."

ㅤBoy, even Steve didn't know how right he was.

DS9 4x16 Accession thoughts (I’m re-watching, so beware spoilers for future episodes!) [8 July ‘23]

I love how offended Julian is about how much tidying Miles hasn't done - I guess he offered to help and hadn't realised how much work he'd have to do XD

"You should have seen it before." Mood. That was always my sentence wherever mum came to pick me up from uni XD

Does Julian actually want to help? That was a sudden swing to "it's a shame to pack it all away" xD

Oh, I thought this was the plant killing episode where Keiko gets secretly possessed.

"Daddy, I have a little bother." So cute!

His gaze looking at Keiko is so gentle!

Sisko fiddling with baseball and hiding it :3

Aww, awkward Sisko

"I think I'd like it." Of course you would, Jadzia, you LOVE attention. (And being emissary would make Kira pay more attention to you..? :P)

Why does this man think he's the emissary, even before he knows he's in a future time?

The awe in Kira's voice

Nothing Sisko's quoted from the prophecies is not about him...

"All I have to worry about are the Klingons, the Dominion and the Maquis. I feel like I'm on vacation!" Oh, Sisko

"I remember when my nephew Nog..." Yes, we all know he's your nephew, Quark.

" I used to love reading to him. You know, See Brak acquire. Acquire, Brak, acquire." Hehehe.

"Oh, well I'll be sure and call you when she's ready to deliver. You can lend a hand." Julian's so earnest

"Unfortunately, I will be away from the station at that time. Far away. Visiting my parents. On Earth." Worf making several addtion's just to make sure they get the picture.

"How about a game of darts?" "Don;t you have to get home?" Huh, wasn't expecting Julian to give him up that easily.

"I don't see it as a contradiction." "I don't understand." "That's the thing about faith. If you don't have it, you can't understand it, and if you do, no explanation is necessary." This is really close to my heart as an ex-believer. I really like Kira's attitude to her faith. Idk

"Farmers have become politicians..." Ohhhh.... I'd remembered about Kira's struggle, but not what that would mean for Shakaar and their entire political system.

Kira's shaky breath and hesitation to clap.. Ohhh...

"If Bajor returns to the D'jarra system, I have no doubt that its petition to join the Federation will be rejected." "Kai Winn and I have already discussed it. We're willing to make that sacrifice in order to follow the will of the Prophets." Ugh, of course Winn's involved in this...

"You don't have to get up for me." "You're Ih'valla. I'm Te'nari." Yikes

"Maybe you never realised this, Captain, but we would've tried to do whatever you asked of us when you were Emissary, no matter how difficult it seemed. I'd better get to Ops." She's so subdued. Oh, Kira.

"An excess of neuropeptides. I can give you an inhibitor to make sure it never happens again. [Sisko nods, and Julian goes to get it.] Of course, if I do, you risk never finding out." This is like the reverse of Sisko's vision episode in Season 5

"So, any idea what they might have been trying to tell you?" I think Julian's really, genuinely curious here.

"Sure. That I have too many neuropeptides rolling around in my head." Heh, and that smile

"I suppose Julian has one too." Your wife knows you, O'Brien.

"Wanna try for twins?" "I don't think it works that way." XD

I know looking longingly at his costume shows his wish for his own free time... but it also reads a lot like longing for Julian ngl

"I'm sorry. The last thing I want to do is add to your problems, but this is something I have to do." Ohhh, she's blinking back tears as she says this, I hate this so much for her.

"I don't doubt I can find someone to fill your post.. But to replace you?" OH, HE'S CRYING TOO THESE GUYSSSS

Miles looking for Julian :3

"Chief! Excuse me!" As soon as Julian sees Miles he rushes over. It can't have been THAT LONG since you saw him??

"You and I were evenly matched" - wellll, no you weren't. That was a ruse on Julian's part. Sorry.

"Actually, I was hoping maybe-" his awkward hand gestures :3 sweetheart

I can't stop watching Julian's face in this scene. When Quark reminds him "no refunds", he looks hopefully for a second at Miles. And his expression is so sad thereafter, his laugh at Miles' joke so lacklustre. Guys, I just have feelings.

"You killed him because of his D'jarra?" "I had to." My goodness. Fricking hell. I did not remember this getting that awful!

"We have to go to the wormhole and ask the Prophets." Solid plan, actually

"I was the first!" Heh, I knew they wouldn't understand first. Not an argument you're gonna win with them

"Why did you send me into the future?" "For the Sisko." Love how the episode just says yes, this was all for Sisko's character development

"I promised I wouldn't say anything, but it's about Julian." "What about him?" "I ran into him the other day and he seemed depressed. He'd never admit it, but he really misses you." This part is MY FAV

"I'm a lucky man." The way she nods and winks <3 Keiko is a queen and I wish we saw more of her, not her-and-Miles

Julian's little smile when Keiko messages him :3

"I want you to have this. It's an original Kira Nerys. Could be verrrry valuable one day." "I hear she didn't make many." Their laughs <3

"We were wondering if there's any chance you could come and give her your blessing." Kira's glance over to him, not quite sure how he'll respond, but his genuine smile and "I'd be happy to" ❤❤

Aww, Sisko covering up his smile at the end there. I love it.

The Latte Boy

PAIRNING/FANDOM: Nicholas "Nick" Nelson/Charles "Charlie" Spring (Heartstopper) GENRE: Fluff WORD COUNT: 950 WARNINGS: none :) SUMMARY: Nick goes to the coffee shop for caffeine / inspiration for his creative writing class where he meets a cute barista. or Based off the song Taylor, The Latte Boy by Kristin Chenoweth ADDTIONAL TAGS: Meet-Cute, Alternate Universe - Coffee Shops & Cafés, Inspiration: Taylor the Latte Boy- Kristin Chenoweth (Song), They/Them Pronouns for Darcy Olsson, POV First Person- Nicholas "Nick" Nelson

Taylor, The Latte Boy by Kristin Chenoweth lyrics

[READ ON AO3]

Okay, honestly, I don't even like coffee that much. I have to get a latte with extra stuff to even tolerate the smell of it.

But one day I went to the coffee shop for some much-needed caffeine after my favourite elective, creative writing, assigned more work than I had for my core classes. I was planning on getting a matcha tea lemonade, but the cutest boy I had ever seen was working the coffee machine and for some reason I said I wanted a coffee. The barista, whose nametag read Darcy they/them, working the register asked if I wanted anything in it, so I said milk, but it came out sounding more like a question.

The barista looked at me, and then followed my line of sight to the cute barista working the coffee machine and asked me if wanted anything else. I don't know what goes in coffee so I said no. They told me what I was asking for was called a latte if I wanted to order it again in the future. I thanked them for the information and after paying, received my drink pretty fast.

That was over a month ago, and I still order lattes when I go into the coffee shop and see him. I think he might know I don’t enjoy coffee very much, because every time my drink tastes a little different, but better. I know that he has started putting extra foam in my drink, and maybe even switched the milk to oat milk.

My poetry project is due at the end of the week and the only poem I have left is my free verse poem. I know I could write anything for it, but I have zero inspiration for it. I decided to start my day with a latte, hoping for some inspiration along the way.

I got to the coffee shop and the clock indoors told me it was 8:11 which wasn’t bad considering my first class starts at 9, so I had plenty of time.

Inspiration: Nine and time? No.

I noticed that Darcy wasn’t working the register today and the cute, curly haired, barista was behind the counter by himself. If I must admit, I am pretty nervous to talk to him, but I know I can order a latte and be at least kind of normal about it.

“Hi, how are you?” he asked me the moment I stepped up to the counter.

I had to tell myself to breathe before replying, “Fine, thank you. Also, my name is Nick.”

“Hi, Nick. My name’s Charlie.” He introduced himself. I guess in hindsight I could have looked at his nametag and saw that. “Double latte?”

I nodded in response, hoping I wasn’t blushing at the fact that he knows what I want to drink.     

“Do you play guitar?” Charlie asked me, walking towards the coffee machine.

“No?” I questioned, unsure where that question came from.

“You have a guitar pin on your bag.” He said, pointing at the blue, purple, and pink guitar pin that my friend Sahar gave me when I came out to her. She told me it was the first bi-pride pin she was given and wanted to pass it on to me. I may have cried when I got home later at her kindness to me.

“Oh, my friend actually gave me this pin when I came out to her.” I rejoindered. “She plays guitar, I don’t though.”

“Oh.” Charlie hummed, “I play the drums and tonight my band is going to be playing at the pub off campus, if you want to come?”

Before I could respond, I noticed that Charlie pulled the lever for the foam three times instead of twice, so I’m pretty sure that means that he loves me too. If I was to guess.

“What time are you playing?” I implored. “And thank you for the extra foam.”

Charlie walked to the register and set my cup on the counter before responding with a smile, “We are supposed to go on at 8, but for some reason always starts eleven minutes late. Must be running on gay time for something.”

Inspiration: Latte and gay? No way.

I chuckled nervously pulling my wallet out before he interrupted me saying, “Keep your $3.55, this one’s on me.”

I bite my bottom lip to keep from smiling too hard, “Thank you, Charlie. Can I buy you a drink tonight after your show?”

I had to stop from fanning myself when Charlie nodded, smiling so hard I could see dimples. “I would like that, Nick. Thank you.”

I told Charlie it was no problem and let him know I looked forward to seeing him tonight before I left the coffee shop. I took a sip of the drink Charlie made me today and was hit with a wave of inspiration for my poem. I walked to class as fast as I could, getting to my desk with plenty of time to spare, not even another student in the lecture hall.

I pulled out the first piece of paper that I could find in my bag and starting writing my thoughts before I lost them.

Charlie the latte boy Bring me java, bring me joy Charlie the latte boy I love him, I love him, I love him

So many years my heart has waited Who’d know love could be so caffeinated Charlie, the latte boy I love him, I love him, I love him

I read what I wrote over again and while I probably can’t submit that for my assignment, at least I wrote something today.

Charlie the latte boy I love him, I love him, I love him.

A Few Inches Off

So, I found this little post, and an idea made its little home in my brain and would not leave. For context, see the comments on the post. Addtionally, while I'm imagining this occuring on the Gotham Knights' Earth (which currently has no number, offical or otherwise), I've kept descriptions vague enough that any design or version can be used instead. Enjoy and be gentle.

---

The warm splatter of blood on Jason's face startled him. Killed the frenzied words dead in his throat. He couldn't move, only think, as the world seemed to freeze.

Bruce standing in front of him. Looking at the gun Jason had thrown to him. Bruce turning. Walking away. Jason pointing the gun at him. Bruce turning with a batarang at the ready.

He chose the Joker.

A strange sound drew Jason back to awareness. Gargling giggles faintly fluttered from his left. Quite close to him, in fact. It wasn't someone new. Jason would have heard them. Bruce wouldn't let them get close. Bruce's expression was one of pure shock, eyes focused on the source of the sound. Slowly, Jason tears his eyes off Bruce and looks.

At the Joker. A batarang sticking out of his throat and blood pouring out.

Jason's arms went numb. He couldn't take his eyes off that batarang. The clatter of the gun falling to the ground barely registered, only the sound of the Joker slipping from Jason's grip, still trying to laugh.

At some point, Jason's eyes gravitated back towards Bruce. To the horror in his eyes as the Joker crawled towards him. He moved to stem the bleeding (to save Jason's murderer), when he suddenly stopped.

Bruce looked Jason dead in the eye. Something shifted. He looked half way between Batman and Bruce as he strode forward, ignoring the Joker when he clung to his cape, merely yanking it away. Vaguely, Jsson was aware that he should run, should get away.

But he was stuck. Vision torn between his father and his killer.

Bruce's hands grasped his head tight. Jason braced for pain. Nothing happened. Panting, Bruce kept his hands over Jason's ears, head turned to meet his gaze, and breathed. When had he removed his cowl? Green-Blue focused on Grey-Blue like a lifeline.

A heartbeat was all Jason could hear. Even Bruce's likely loud (and matching) breathing was muted to him. His whole world was Bruce's face, strained with effort and determination, and that beat.

Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Lub-dub.

Then, his face stiffened. Grief, terror, and subtle relief filled it as Bruce's hands left Jason's ears.

It was too quiet. Something was missing. Idly, his eyes drifted down to the ground. There, hand just shy of touching Bruce's cape, was the Joker. Blood not longer flowing past the still lodged blade in his neck. Body no longer moving.

Laughter finally silenced.

Jason stared until Bruce moved back into sight. And suddenly, it occurred to him that he hadn't planned for this. He had maticulously planned for every step to get here. Every alternate action along the way accounted for. And yet, even as he hoped and prayed that Bruce would do it, would kill his killer, Jason had never thought about what would happen next.

"Jason," Bruce's voice, wavering but still strong, had Jason's eyes snap back to him, "Let's go home." Jason didn't object, not even when hands guided him outside in seemingly a second. As he climbed into the already waiting Batmobile dressed like a traffic light and ready for bed, Jason breathed deep. And felt a dam break inside.

He was safe. His dad still loved him. He was going home.

Gracelings, fledglings and spankings

Summary:

On the first day of College Bram is approached by a strange man. Bram thinks he's being invited to a fraternity initiation, but what Bram doesn't know is that he is secretly a young angel, the man is his father, and Daddy's there to bring the new baby home. Enter the nursery where fledglings are kept shrunk down for easy management. Bram does not plan to stick around. After all, he has an education to get to! Too bad for him Daddy has tons of experience dealing with fussy fledglings. Or, It’s kind of like Percy Jackson, but there’s angels and spankings.

@wynterlanding liked this post for a starter ft. sera poriosolo (bio)~!

sera was exhausted, not a single thing had gone right today, as was the way things sometimes had to go. nothing could be smooth or easy all the time, that wasn't the life sera wanted to live anyway. after spilling tea on her dress and changing, she broke a shoe on her way to work, missing the train and ending up calling a cab, who took the wrong turn and added another ten dollars to her ride. she got to work, late and listening to bessie, their only morning regular as she chewed her out for making her sit outside the store while she properly opened the bookshop. lacey called in, giving sera an addtional three hours onto her shift to cover until otto was able to stroll in for his shift, but he still needed her help with the new display, so she was stuck another two hours, at that point there was no need to leave, not really, so she sent otto home early and was just about to start closing up when the little bell that hung over the door, tied with little bookmarks and braided strings rang out across the store. ten minutes to close. " hello ! " she called out, standing back up from behind the counter, hair a mess and a tired look in her eyes.

PINNED

TOA Canon [Knight of Seiros]

PATH OF RADIANCE/RADIANT DAWN [Radiant Dawn NG+ Post-Game]

After the events at the Tower of Guidance, Zihark found himself travelling as a mercenary once more. He spends his time resolving disputes between beorc and laguz, occasionally returning to Gallia as a home. Hearing about the academy, he imagines it as a place where both beorc and laguz may live in harmony and packs a bag once more. Wielding his trusty sword, he puts himself to work for the Knights of Serios, aiming to protect both beorc and laguz students as well as defend anyone who may need his skills.

ABOUT | INTERVIEW | Please kindly do not use small test! (post) | Current Month's Plotting (post)

NOTES UNDER THE CUT

In accordance with my other Tellius muses, Zihark is taken from ~3 years post game. He has spent that time as a travelling mercenary, following the path his ending sets for him.

Rather than Daein, after Radiant Dawn, he finds himself thinking of Gallia as his home. As Lethe says his "soul is more laguz than beorc", and he finds himself far more welcome there with his beliefs than he ever did in Daein. He does not intend to return to the country of his birth until significant changes have occured. That will take time, of course. And he's certainly willing to wait. But he won't falter until then.

He is a Knight of Serios but he will still strike out on common mercenary jobs if the knights aren't willing to take them up, especially if there are innocent people involved.

Assumptions are made that he was recruited away from the Dawn Brigade at the first chance that is avaliable (3-6) and also that he was present for the events in the tower. Anything that was said aloud to the whole group as a revelation is something that he will be privy to. Private conversations like those between Nasir/Gareth and Kurth/Ena/Micaiah are knowledge that he does not know.

It can't be a Vergil muse without a little bit of gender fuckery, so woe! Trans Zihark be upon you! (FtM, He/Him)

In theory, he is bisexual, but as he himself states: "But I’ve never loved another woman. To this day, I think that I never shall." So in accordance with that, it will be extremely hard for him to get romantically involved with a woman/female presenting muse in TOA. Didn't say anything about men though😏

Addtionally, I am following the JP canon where his girlfriend died rather than her simply leaving him because of the pressure. It hits a different level of angst, especially for his motivations. (Smth smth a part of him wanting to protect other laguz because he wasn't able to protect her smth smth.)

Law & Order Season 21 Ep. 1 "The Right Thing"

Kevin Bernard and Frank Cosgrove, who have recently become partners, are investigating the murder of a well-known entertainer. A disagreement over whether to discard a confession causes a division in the District Attorney's office.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

During a morning talk show, a Black entertainer who was recently released from prison claimed his innocence regarding a rape accusation and vowed to spend his life correcting the injustice. However, he was soon found dead with five bullets in his body. Cosgrove expressed disgust towards the man, but Bernard reminded him that every victim deserves respect.

Bernard and Cosgrove speak with King's wife, who did not turn on the security cameras. She explained that she is from North Carolina and is not used to locking her front door.

Later, at the station, Dixon reacts negatively when Bernard mentions that this is the first time he can remember anyone caring that a Black man was shot. She requests that he and Cosgrove concentrate on the case.

Bernard and Cosgrove speak to a man who was fired by King. He claims that everyone, including a gangbanger, threatened King. The detectives leave and almost get into an altercation with a Black kid. Bernard intervenes and pulls Cosgrove away. Cosgrove acknowledges that Bernard is straightforward and speaks his mind. They both agree that cameras are useful in holding cops accountable.

Bernard's acquaintance agrees to an interview and reveals that while in jail, King was targeted for assault by other inmates. To prevent this, the gang offered to protect him for a monthly fee of 100k. However, after his release, King stopped paying and was physically assaulted by Shabaz, who was then chased off by a bodyguard. At the time of King's death, he was in a bar tlaking to his bodyguard in an attempt to resolve the issue. King offered him 50k, but he refused. The bodyguard appears to be shocked and disappointed by King's death.

The police confirmed that Shabaz's alibi checks out. Dixon reviewed security footage of an argument between King and a woman. The woman was identified as Jamie Roos, a prosecutor known to Dixon.

Jamie informs the police that she was the prosecutor for the initial case. She believed it was only one victim, but later more women came forward. Following a civil lawsuit, she attempted to charge him for the other women's rapes, but his confession was dismissed because what he said in civil court was supposed to be protected from prosecution. Cosgrove insinuates that she may have been involved in King's death, and she promptly asks the police to leave her office.

Dixon is displeased upon hearing this. Cosgrove shows no remorse for his words, but Dixon affirms that Ross is trustworthy and not involved. The police investigation leads them to suspect King's wife, who left the restaurant she was using as an alibi an hour before the murder. Security footage shows her two blocks from the brownstone 20 minutes before the killing occurred.

However, when questioned again, Mrs. King admits that she did not want to go home and face her husband, so she went to a local bar and had some drinks. Additionally, she saw someone wearing a green hoodie hanging around.

The story may seem unbelievable, but it is true. The police begin their search for the woman wearing a green hoodie. They discover a discarded cigarette butt at the crime scene and use it to identify her as Nicole Bell, formerly known as Nicole Atkins, who was the first woman raped by King.

The police obtain a search warrant for Nicole's residence and locate the green hoodie in her washing machine. Although there is no gunshot residue on the hoodie, it is still considered evidence. Addtionally, two officers find the gun in a dumpster.

During questioning, Nicole was assured that she was not under arrest and that the police were there to help. Unfortunately, she confessed to shooting King because she couldn't stand the fact that he had no remorse and was free to rape again. After disposing of the gun, she went home and took a shower before going to bed. Nicole was shocked when she was arrested following her confession.

During the arraignment, the Assistant District Attorneys (ADAs) had to navigate through a crowd of protesters who believed that Nicole should not be arrested for killing her rapist. Nolan requested a low bail amount, but the judge deemed it a murder case and set bail at one million dollars, which caused an uproar among the protesters in the gallery.

Nolan and Maroun discuss the arraignment. The defense is requesting the confession be thrown out, claiming coercion. Nolan questions the validity of the claim, but Maroun disagrees. She witnessed the interrogation and believed Cosgrove skillfully presented falsehoods as truth. Nolan then proceeds to meet with McCoy. According to McCoy, police officers are permitted to deceive suspects. It is important not to undermine their authority. Nolan contends that this is not merely a falsehood. Cosgrove essentially guaranteed immunity. During cross-examination, the defense will dismantle his testimony and portray the police as the antagonists. McCoy asserts that law enforcement is facing criticism and calls to defund, but they are meant to work alongside district attorneys. Nolan believes he can win the case without the confession, so McCoy allows him to discard it.

During the cross-examination of Cosgrove, the defense attorney argues that there is no evidence to prove that their client is the murderer. However, Cosgrove testifies that Nicole confessed to him. The defense objects, and the judge calls the attorneys into chambers. The defense attorney is requesting a mistrial due to the confession being mentioned. Nolan admits that Cosgrove made a mistake, but takes responsibility for not reminding him not to mention the confession. However, Nolan argues that the testimony was not prejudicial. The judge agrees with Nolan and denies the request for a mistrial.

Nolan confronts Cosgrove. Cosgrove tells him to go to hell. Nolan cares more about his ideals than getting murderers off the street. Cosgrove says he had the right to lie to suspects.

Maroun visits Nolan and shares news. Nicole claims self-defense, and Mrs. King supports her.

During the trial, Mrs. King testified that she witnessed Henry pursuing Nicole on the night of the murder and that Nicole shot him in self-defense. However, Nolan challenged her testimony by pointing out that Mrs. King was at a bar during the time of the incident. Despite this, Mrs. King maintained that the bar manager was mistaken and that she had left earlier than she believed. She refused to alter her statement. Nolan accused her of lying to absolve herself of the guilt of supporting her husband when he was accused of raping 40 women. Mrs. King vehemently denied the accusation, insisting that she was telling the truth. Nolan is instructed by the judge to stop badgering the witness.

Nicole testifies next, recounting being raped twice by Henry. She brought a gun to their last meeting as a precaution, as he had claimed he wanted to apologize but then poured her a glass of wine, causing her to fear he had spiked it. She was frightened and attempted to flee, but he pursued her. She shot him to allow the women he had victimized to move on.

Maroun informs Nolan that Nicole met with Jamie Ross on the day of the murder. Nolan locates Ross at a nearby restaurant but she refuses to provide any information. He subpoenas her, but she pleads the fifth amendment on the stand when questioned about seeing Nicole or having knowledge of Nicole's intentions to kill King.

Nolan is upset that the jury seems to be buying this preposterous self-defense argument. Maroun tells him that the jury wants to acquit, as they are sympathetic to Nicole's plight. McCoy agrees and tells Nolan he should not have thrown out the confession. Nolan realizes that being the hero is only okay if he wins. McCoy leaves, and Nolan tells Maroun that McCoy is right. The jury sees him as yet another man victimizing Nicole. Nolan asks Maroun to do the closing.

Maround delivers a powerful closing. She sympathizes with Nicole as a woman. It was legal for Nicole to fantasize about shooting her rapist, but not to actually do it. If she acted with intent, she must be convicted.

Nicole is found guilty, enraging protesters who demand her release. Maroun tells Nolan that she doesn't feel good about this verdict and hopes he will ask for the lightest possible sentence.
