About this episode

Relisten to Season 1 of The Girlfriends.

15 years after Gail’s death, Bob is put on trial.  The Girlfriends, Gail’s friends and Alayne all weave together the circumstantial evidence that the prosecution believe is enough to prove Bob murdered Gail.  But the defense has a secret weapon, a star witness that says he saw Gail in a bagel shop in the hours that the prosecution believe she was already dead.
