Well we have had lots of info on this episode due to the very public filming of scenes.

- Kate is on trial for murder, assault and weapons charges
- She pleads not guilty
- There is a scene involving both Kate and Jack which tells us this is a Flashforward. It is unclear if the Jack / Kate scene is part of the Court Case
