Von Karma calls up Ben and Trilo. After a difficult introduction, Trilo testifies that he saw Max heading towards the crime. He knew it was Max because he was wearing his signature silk hat, cloak and white roses. Phoenix says he could have also seen Russell, but Von Karma points out that Russell would have had already passed by by the time Ben & Trilo got to their spot. Phoenix then realizes that it was strange that they would be hanging out in the harsh cold weather in the dead of night, so he theorizes that they were waiting for Regina to propose to her.

Trilo says that he was going to give Regina an engagement ring. He says that he still has it in his pocket, when it is actually in Phoenix's hands. Trilo admits that he and Ben left their spot for five minutes to chase after Money, who stole the ring, which means that someone other than Max may have passed by their spot while they were chasing the monkey.

Trilo then testifies that when he saw Max, he simply said "good evening" to him, which is very unlike him especially after the fight they had that morning. Phoenix then theorizes that the man in the silk hat, cloak, and white roses they saw that night could actually the victim, Russell as they didn't have a clear view of the man in the hat, cloak, and robes. Von Karma retaliates by bringing announcing another witness, who will cement Max as the perpetrator once and for all!

Phoenix asks to go into more detail about the car accident Ini was in. Ini claims that Mimi was tired from all of the talking she had to do. When asked why they couldn't switch drivers, Ini claims she didn't have a driver's license, and no the "License Photo" doesn't count. Even if she had the license, Mimi still would let her drive. That is because the car she drove was new. She got it from England.\\

Before trial, Phoenix asks Pearl to contact Mia for help, but more so that Pearl won't to watch today's trial. Von Karma is very confident on her victory. Much so that she had set up a TV crew to watch Phoenix Wright first defeat.

The next morning, Phoenix and Maya are trying to gather themselves, but Pearls is still blaming herself and bursting into tears by turns. Even Nick is holding it together only because he has to be calm for her sake.

Cornered, Acro confesses. He couldn't stand Regina after the accident, due to the girl's naïve beliefs and her lack of concern of his brother's state. However, when he learned he had killed the ringmaster, his first thought was suicide. But he changed his mind, and decided to go with the prosecution and testify against Max. There was something he still needs to do after all. The judge asks if Acro thinks himself a victim, the acrobat burst into tears, saying that he is a murderer.

Max is declared not guilty, but Regina isn't happy, realizing that everything was her fault, and now the circus is going to fall apart. She asks Phoenix is Acro is still going to come after her. Phoenix explains that Acro doesn't want revenge, but actually wants to see Bat come out of his coma. Realizing she could make up for what happened, Regina will watch over Bat in Acro's place. As for the circus, Moe decided he'll be the new ringmaster, and Max is willing to continue working for them in order to make the circus the best show there is.

Meanwhile at an airport, Edgeworth receives a call from Gumshoe, who states that the surprise search was a success. Edgeworth asks Gumshoe ensure that Acro is treated well, and that he'll be returning to the Prosecutor's Office. After hanging up, Edgeworth sets off to board his flight.

Edgeworth slips away. He doesn't say where he's going, but he has the transceiver Franziska was using to track Gumshoe, and its registering a signal. Before he leaves, Phoenix is moved to give him Franziska's whip, along with his thanks. It's a good time to get gone, since everyone else seems intent on sticking Nick with the bill for dinner.. as usual.

During recess von Karma shows up to taunt Phoenix... wierd.

Phoenix asks to go into more detail about the car accident Ini was in. Ini claims that Mimi was tired from all of the talking she had to do. When asked why they couldn't switch drivers, Ini claims she didn't have a driver's license, and no the "License Photo" doesn't count. Even if she had the license, Mimi still would let her drive. That is because the car she drove was new. She got it from England.

Now hold on, if that was a British car and she got from the right as she said from the article and British cars had the drivers seat in the right side of the car, does that mean she came out from the drivers seat? Mimi was the one driving, then that means...

Phoenix then states that the Ini on the stand is in fact her older sister Mimi all along and vice versa. Mimi had used the picture of Ini for the facial reconstruction to fool people into thinking she herself had perished. That's why she wanted to kill Dr Grey. He wanted to contact her through the Kurain Channeling Technique, except she was not actually dead. As soon as the channeling failed, Gray would've realized she was still very mch alive.

Not willing to be exposed, Mimi decided she would stop the channeling on whatever costs.

It was unbelievable yes, but then '''Mimi''' finally breaks out of her sisterly persona and confesses to everything. She only became Ini to get away from everything that had been happening, from the malpractice incident to the car accident that took her sister's life. It was too much for her. The fire gave her a chance, to escape everything and be reborn as her sister. If only that spiritual mumbo-jumbo didn't happened...

Despite more questions to be answered, the one thing that matters is that Maya's innocence is proven. von Karma does not take her loss kindly, especially since her loss is documented and whips Phoenix out of consciousness.

After the trial, Maya briefly reunites with Mia (which is very awkward considering what we had just seen) Maya recognizes the scent she smelled in her dream. It was Mia's old robes.

Maya is confused on why Morgan helped out Mimi. Phoenix suspects that she did all of that so that Pearl would be the next master since with Maya would be out of the way through capital punishment.

One problem, the one person he wanted to contact is not actually dead. The technique doesn't work on the living, obviously. If the technique doesn't work on the spirit in this case Mimi, then it's still among the living.

Not willing to go through a much greater scandal, Mimi decided she would stop the channeling on whenever costs.

It's almost too easy to make his case. Engarde had told the assassin to guard this particular tape and never watch it. He also specified a certain place and time for the murder. And he planted a camera in the hotel room to film the killing... as insurance, he had said, so that De Killer could never turn on him. But his purpose was more sinister: it was to give Engarde a hold over De Killer, to have evidence that could potentially blackmail him into becoming yet another person for Engarde to use. The client-assassin trust that De Killer held in such high esteem had been betrayed from the very beginning. When De Killer grasps his point, he gets very angry... and then very quiet. Edgeworth prompts him to describe how he would handle a traitorous client, and the answer is delightfully simple: he would sever their contract... and then target that person for his next assassination. And, as of that very moment, Engarde is no longer his client.

At the Gatewater Hotel, the Nickel Samurai has just been awarded the title of Grand Prix Champion at the annual Hero of Heroes event, edging out his rival, the Jammin' Ninja. Phoenix, Maya, and Pearl are in attendance at the invitation of Max Powers, who is glad to see the next generation star of the ''Steel Samurai'' franchise doing so well. Phoenix is in a little over his head, since he isn't familiar with all the shows, but Maya is thrilled to talk shop with Powers. She tries to rush Phoenix from the ballroom to the lobby to attend a post-awards stage show, which is supposed to be followed by a press conference hosted by the Nickel Samurai. Powers gives them a pass to get into the press conference, but he doesn't know much about that beyond a rumor that the Nickel Samurai plans to appear in full costume to confess something.
