can break her story. Ginny is escorted by Burt into Robert's office.
Robert confronts her with the knowledge that he knows Brock tracked her
down with the help from old yearbooks at the Library. Ginny finally breaks
down and confesses. She says she never knew that Brock was going to frame
Rick. She thought she would go along with it for Mikey's well being. Ginny
agrees to a full confession but Rick shocks Robert when he tells him he
won't press charges. If Ginny stays far away from her son, that's good
enough for him. Ginny agrees. Robert brings Brock to his office and
confronted with the truth, Brock smugly admits it's true but he only
framed Rick because he was left with no choice. Robert let's Brock off
with a stern warning. Rick won't press charges if Brock will retract
