Dante finds Chase floating in the Metro Court pool. Chase asks if he spoke to his friend at the community review board. Dante did, and his guy on the inside feels the chance of Chase getting his badge back is slim. Chase feels defeated but needs to find a way to pay his rent. Dante asks if that means he’s taking a job outside of the force. Linc appears and notes, “It’s a good thing he has options.” Dante orders Linc to get lost. Chase asks for a moment with Linc, so Dante walks off, but not before advising his partner not to lose his cool again.

Linc informs Chase he’s already booked him a gig at the Savoy and has his eyes set on a bigger venue in New York next. BLQ arrives as Linc tells Chase that when he’s done with marketing him, everyone is going to want to be him and be with him.

Linc lays out his plans to start recording a track right away to Chase, which will lead to instant revenue. He also offers to fund his studio time, vocal training, and wardrobe.

At the Metro Court gardens, Spinelli and Sam meet to discuss her latest case. As she updates him on Felicia’s suggestions, he’s transfixed on Cody and Britt. Sam calls him out and asks what is going on with him. Spinelli doesn’t trust Cody, but she notes he’s Dante’s oldest friend and Leo loves him. She wants him to focus on their work trip, but he claims he’s far too busy to leave town. Sam asks him exactly what it is he does for work lately.

Spinelli masterfully redirects the conversation to how things are going between her and Dante. She admits he invited her to move in, and she’s hesitant to do so because things are going so well as they are now. Maxie appears and joins them and sees Britt with Cody by the pool. She thinks they look like they are getting along, and she likes Cody. Sam agrees, and Spinelli vents they both couldn’t be more wrong. He storms off.

Cody talks to Britt, who tells Cody point blank that she doesn’t like him. Cody admits he doesn’t always say the right things, but she is unforgiving when it comes to human frailty. He asks her to look at things from his opinion. He admits he went overboard on his date trying to impress her but she accepted his apology. Then she found a way to be upset with him again, and he feels she punishes people who don’t stand up to her ridiculously high standards.

Britt confesses that he’s got her number, and she intentionally avoids people a lot of the time. He tells her that means people don’t get to know her. He then presents her with the card he made. She can’t believe he was just carrying it around in case he bumped into her, and wonders how he knew she’d be here. He claims Maxie told him about their brunch date. She opens the card, which is an apology, and asks for another chance. She thinks he’s never going to take no for an answer, so she picks the restaurant and meal this time.

Sam and Maxie approach Britt and Cody, and Britt pulls Maxie aside. She asks if she forgot about their brunch. Maxie explains she was doing damage control at work, and Britt says she’s sorry about Sasha. Maxie gets excited when Britt shows her the gift Cody made her, and learns that they are going on a second date.

Britt grabs a pool chair, and Maxie rejoins Cody and Sam. He thanks them for their support, which he’s not getting any of from their friend Spinelli. Sam asks if he knows why Spinelli seems to dislike him so. Cody claims he has no idea. Meanwhile, Spinelli approaches Britt and warns her not to go out with Cody again.

In the PCPD interrogation room, Martin gives Sasha some coffee so she can appear sharp, but she sits there speechless and in a catatonic state. Outside, Gladys brings Brando some fresh clothes for Sasha. Martin exits the room and runs down the list of charges Sasha is facing, including attempted murder.

Gladys heads into the interrogation room with clothes for Sasha, who remains stoic. They head out to the squad room and to a ladies’ room for her to change, later returning to the interrogation room.

Brando asks Martin how they will beat these charges. The lawyer admits they can’t. Martin notes the dashcam video of Sasha has gone viral, and she needs to demonstrate her commitment to intensive therapy and restitution. Brando doesn’t know if Sasha can confront this. Martin understands and there is only one other way to keep her out of prison. He explains someone could become Sasha’s guardian.

Back in the interrogation room, Gladys asks Sasha why she did it. Sasha finally speaks and insists she was standing up for herself and would do it again. She is so tired of being exploited.
