At the Quartermaine mansion, Sasha interrupts Michael and Willow just as they are about to kiss. She apologizes and says the housekeeper let her in. Willow decides to leave them to talk. Sasha asks if she interrupted a moment or was it her imagination. Michael admits it’s not her imagination and his feelings for Willow are not as resolved as he thought. He doesn’t know how Willow feels, but the more time he and Willow spent together the more it felt like they had a real marriage. Emotional, Sasha recognizes the way he looks at Willow because it is how he used to look at her. Michael says that doesn’t mean he doesn’t still love her. Sasha knows he does but does he want to be with her is the question he needs to figure out.

At Laura’s place, Cyrus thinks if Laura won’t help him find his mother then perhaps Nikolas will in order to protect his family. Cyrus tries to make a deal with Nikolas, and says if he brings his mother home then he’ll make sure his Aunt Alexis is safe in prison and no one bothers her. Nikolas interprets the statement to mean Cyrus won’t send his people after her if he helps him. Laura tells Nikolas not to let Cyrus extort him, and wonders if this is the family Cyrus wants. Cyrus screams, “This is the family I have!”

At Ava’s gallery, she screams when she opens a package to find a dummy hand inside, which she drops to the floor. Kevin pulls a note from the box that reads, “An offering for my goddess, may you always feel my hand in yours. Forever… R.” Ava suspects Ryan sent it, but Kevin isn’t so sure. Chase arrives to investigate, and Kevin notes that Ryan is unable to move except for blinking, so he likely didn’t do this without help.

Chase plans to stop by and check on Ryan, and question his caretakers. Kevin suggests Ava consider any other enemies she and Nikolas have that could have done this. Chase departs, and Kevin offers to see Ava safely to the launch back to Wyndemere. She thanks Kevin for his concern but is expecting Nikolas soon, and she never goes anywhere without protection.

Sam stops by Alexis’ place to check on her mother. They sit down, and Alexis goes over some legal papers with Sam, who is taking over her power of attorney. There is a knock at the door and it’s a consultant that Diane arranged for her to help Alexis prepare for prison. The woman introduces herself as Irene. They go over her legal documents to get everything in order, and Irene suggests Alexis take a few boxing and self-defense lessons to learn how to protect herself. As Alexis makes her normal dry comments, Irene advises she drop the sense of humor because it could make her enemies inside. The consultant steps out for a break, and Sam wishes she had fought more to push her mom not to plead guilty.

Alexis steps out and asks Irene how she got into this line of work. Irene explains she shot her abusive husband, who survived, and she was sent to prison for it. She found she had a knack for helping women on the inside and advises Alexis to find a purpose of her own while in prison because three years is a long time to do nothing. Irene says she’ll return tomorrow, but right now she and her daughter need time together.

Back in the den, Sasha tells Michael that they don’t exactly spend time together or take the opportunity to do so. Michael wonders if they’ve been waiting for their old feelings to come back, or maybe they’re gone. Michael can’t believe two people who know each other so well can’t know when they need to break up. Sasha doesn’t know how to say goodbye to him. Michael tells her that he’ll always be thankful to her, because even though she lied about her relationship with Chase, it is because of her that he has his son. They share a parting hug as tears stream down Sasha’s cheeks.
