At the hospital, Portia and Curtis head to Oz’s room only to find Jordan in the hall and Rory posted outside. Jordan assumes they want to talk to the patient, but they don’t know when he will wake up. She’s assigned Rory to watch over him and let them know when he wakes up.

Jordan pulls Curtis and Portia aside to speak privately. She tells them that Esme is nowhere to be found. She explains even if Oz names Esme as the one who drugged him, it may be hard to bring Esme to justice. She suggests the two of them do something, get some fresh air and sunshine, as Rory will make sure nobody gets passed him.

Portia and Curtis head to her office and can’t believe Esme has skipped town. They know Oz is their only option, and Portia thinks there has to be some way to get into that room. As a doctor, Portia notes Rory will have to let her in, and she can administer the drugs. Curtis reminds her it could kill Oz, and that would mean her career is over.

Jordan meanwhile speaks with Rory about his closeness to Trina and her family. She chose him to guard this patient because she trusts him, but wonders if this assignment will be a problem for him. Can he put his badge above his feelings for Trina?

At the Metro Court pool, Trina and Joss try and relax before the verdict comes in. Trina admits this pool day isn’t working. Just then Dex exits the pool. Trina tells Joss, whose mouth is hanging open, not to let her stop Joss from having a good time.

Dex walks over and says hello to Joss. He brings up yesterday, and that he hopes they can forget about what happened. Trina asks, “Forget about what?” Trina introduces herself to Dex, who states his name in return. He only came to say hello to Joss and lets them get back to things.

Trina asks Joss who Dex is. Joss explains that he works for Sonny, so Trina wonders what happened yesterday. Meanwhile, Dex makes a call and tells someone there is something they should know. Later Sonny arrives, and he and Dex discuss what Joss saw yesterday and whether she’s told Trina.

Back at their lounge chairs, Joss says she’s run into Dex a few times, but would rather talk about Trina and Rory.

He returns to the table and tells Maxie that was his property manager in Pautuck and there are several issues with one of his cabins. He has to head there immediately. Maxie asks if he’s canceling the weekend with her kids.

Austin is hopeful whatever this is, he’ll be done and get back in time. She offers to bring the kids to him, but he tells her not to waste the time driving up there. He’ll be distracted by other people’s problems, and doesn’t want to let her down by not giving her his full attention. Maxie tells him the only way to let her down is to not be honest with her, so what is this trip really about? He swears there is an incident at one of his cabins, but he doesn’t know the details. He’ll call her and bore her with the details.

Lucy arrives as Austin takes off. Lucy asks Maxie where the good doctor is headed. Maxie fills her in on the story Austin gave her. She’s worried Austin is having second thoughts about this relationship.
