For what it's worth, I'm seeing folks claiming that Haller was crying, or asking about whether she did. She sounded nervous and perhaps awkward, with a shaky voice.
More than that? I didn't see or hear it.
As a caveat:

Welcome back, all. Is everyone caffeinated and refreshed?
Judge: "As promised, we will begin with Mr. Wood."

"I do not have a slash-s signature line," Wood adds.
