Nina admits she has made her share of mistakes and is grateful for the second chances. “Mike” doesn’t know why Nina trusts Elijah. Nina can’t believe he’s being so judgmental after everything he’s done. Elijah wonders what “Mike” has done. Flustered, Nina says none of them knows what he’s done, so he’s not in the position to judge others. Nina walks off to clear her head and tells the men not to fight.

Nina approaches and is stunned to see Jax. Jax tells Nina that he had to talk to her in person, but she says he shouldn’t have come. Nina asks Phyllis and Lenny to go find “Mike” because he and Elijah are going at it. Phyllis and Lenny depart, and Nina asks Jax what he has to say. He tells her that it’s good to see her, but she can’t say the same about him because he’s going to ruin everything. Jax is confused but tells Nina that he loves her and misses her. He asks her to go someplace private to talk, but she refuses. She tells him to just leave and stay gone.

Phyllis connects with “Mike” after Lenny goes home. Elijah is gone, and “Mike” reveals what he learned about Elijah. Phyllis appreciates him wanting to protect her and Lenny, but it wasn’t his place to tell them about Elijah’s past. She can tell something else is bothering him. He relays what Nina said about him having no place to judge when he doesn’t know what he’s done, and it scares him. Phyllis feels “Mike” is honorable and a good friend, and that’s all she needs to know about him, but he must decide what he wants to know about himself. She suggests he go find Nina and give her that second dance. In the background, one of the people at the dance has a gun in his waistband under his jacket.
