Sonny Begins to Doubt Dex’s Innocence — But Joss Prepares to Step up to Defend Him

At Nina’s place, Sonny offers Gladys some tea to help her relax. Sasha comes out of a spare room but couldn’t sleep because all she sees is Brando in that hospital bed when she closes her eyes. Sonny has to head out, so Nina walks him to the door. He gets a call from Alexis and is informed about the attack on Diane, which he relays to Nina before taking off to GH.

Gladys and Sasha sit on Nina’s couch and look at old photos of Brando on Glady’s phone. Sasha realizes without Brando she has no family left. Gladys tells her they are still family, and she’s stuck with her. Gladys suggests if Sasha is ready they can begin making funeral arrangements. Nina thinks they don’t have to do this now, but Sasha doesn’t want to leave Brando in the morgue. She feels this would be good for them, and they’ll have somewhere to visit him.

Gladys makes a call and gets troubling news. The funeral home won’t take Sasha’s card because there is a bank hold on it. Sasha realizes it’s because Brando must sign off on her purchases as her guardian. She breaks down and doesn’t know what to do. Nina offers her card to pay for the funeral costs. Sasha thanks Nina, as does Gladys for all she’s done for them. Nina tells them that she’s not going anywhere.

At the hospital, Portia informs Curtis that Diane Miller was brought in as the latest victim and they are operating on her now. She texted Trina, who is out with Rory, and didn’t want to tell her about Diane that way. Curtis thinks it’s bound to get better, and thanks to the Invader article they are watching their backs. Portia notes Jordan isn’t too happy about it. Jordan appears and explains it’s making her job more difficult, but she needs Portia’s help. Jordan again reiterates the need for keeping important details under wraps. Curtis vents, “That was always your area of expertise.” He walks off to give them privacy, and Jordan suggests they go somewhere more private to talk.

Sonny arrives at the hospital to try and find information about Diane, but the nurse can’t give it to anyone who isn’t family. Curtis appears and tells him that she’s in surgery. Curtis also thanks him for looking out for his father and keeping his anti-psychotic meds a secret after he learned about them. Sonny says he wasn’t just looking out for Marshall, he also did it because he respects Curtis.

In Portia’s office, she tells Jordan that Diane was infected with the same poison as Brando, but Finn had an anti-venom ready. Jordan still worries that the killer made sure Brando didn’t survive, so she’s worried about Diane. Jordan arranges for someone to stand guard over Diane, and calls Rory.

Portia regroups with Curtis and asks about his talk with Jordan. He explains Jordan swears she didn’t deliberately sit on the divorce papers, but she said some strange things about them and as if they were keeping secrets from one another. He thinks Jordan assumes everyone keeps secrets just because she does. Portia thinks back about Jordan questioning her about the truth regarding Trina’s father. Portia tells Curtis she just remembered something she needs to take care of and takes off.

Cam, Joss, Rory and Trina arrive for a double date at the axe throwing joint. Cam and Rory go to grab the axes, and Joss tells Trina she’s happy she ended up with Rory. Trina says, “As opposed to Spencer?” Trina admits with Spencer out of her life she’s happier than she’s been in a while, and she just wants to have fun. Trina turns the conversation to Joss and asks if she and Cam are okay. Joss says they’re past the rough patch. Trina wonders if Joss told him about dumpster diving with Dex. She hasn’t and points out Cam didn’t tell her about Spencer’s lies.

After throwing some axes, Rory gets a call from Jordan informing him about Diane and asks him to come to stand guard over her. Rory tells Joss, Trina and Cam that he has to get to work and that Diane was attacked. He says the good news is a suspect was brought in.

Rory goes to leave, and Joss follows him and stops him. She knows he can’t say certain things, but asks who the suspect is given she’s so close to this case. Rory says all he can say is it’s someone who has been at every crime scene and has been questioned before. She realizes it’s Dex.

Joss leaves, and Trina asks Cam if they should get out of here too. Cam wants to air things out, and he knows she’s mad at him for covering for Spencer. She is angry, but it doesn’t mean she can’t get passed it. Cam explains he was torn between two people he loves, and it was difficult. Trina thinks about keeping Joss’s secret about Dex and understands.

Joss arrives at the station and questions Dante about Dex being a suspect.

Outside the station, Sonny offers Dex a ride home. They get into his car and he ominously notes they’re going to make a stop first.
