Outside the Quartermaine gatehouse, Drew finds Leo upset because he and Michael are mad at his dad, and wonders if Drew is mad at him too. Drew tells him that neither he nor Michael is mad at him, and families argue from time to time, but they always make up. Leo asks if Drew and Michael can make up with his dad.

In the gatehouse, Willow finds Michael looking into bone marrow transplants. He thinks they should start a bone marrow donation drive at GH, which Willow thinks is a great idea. However, she’s still not ready to be the girl with cancer and having everyone feel sorry for her. Michael knows that’s because she grew up alone and without the support of her parents, but she’ll never be alone again.

Willow admits she’s been thinking about finding her bio family. However even if she could find them, she doesn’t know how she shows up out of the blue and asks for a bone marrow transplant. Michael says there are a lot of good people out there. Willow notes, “People like Nina make it hard to remember.” Willow decides to try and track down her family and thinks they should start with the peace and love commune that Harmony was a part of when she was a baby.

Drew knocks on their door, and Leo is glad to see Michael isn’t mad at him. He rushes over to Willow, and Drew explains they need to fix things with Ned for Leo’s sake. Leo takes off after a bit and Drew notices the papers Willow’s looking through about communes. Willow explains she is looking for her birth family and doesn’t know how much she can trust about what Harmony told her. Drew recalls Carly telling him that Harmony said Nina was Willow’s mother, but later Carly claimed the DNA test she ran confirmed Nina wasn’t her mother. Drew offers to help them do some digging.

Back outside, Leo plays around and hears a beeping. He finds Dex’s dropped cellphone, and there is a message from Sonny on it.

Joss exits her dorm and finds her mother outside and upset. Carly explains she’s been calling her and she’s not been answering. She asks what is going on. Joss brings her mom inside and reveals she’s got Dex stashed, and they need help. Carly learns Joss found Dex near the Quartermaines, and Joss explains she couldn’t take him to the hospital because they’d have to report a gunshot wound. Carly looks at his wound and it’s infected. She says he’ll need antibiotics, which Joss says she was trying to get.

At the Metro Court, Sonny introduces Nina to Brick, who just got into town, and they sit down at a table. They’re interrupted by an employee who tells Nina the chef needs to talk to her. She departs, and Brick notes Sonny looks happy.

Brick asks how Dex is working out. Sonny reveals he’s been loyal and he may give him a promotion, but right now he’s laying low after springing Anna. Nina returns to the table, and Brick gets a call from Carly and excuses himself. Carly is glad to learn he’s back in town and needs his help. He returns to Sonny and Nina and tells them he has to take care of something and departs.

Nina notes Sonny seems more relaxed than last night. She didn’t want to worry him then but fills him in on her run-in with Michael and Willow. Sonny wishes she’d leave it alone, but Nina just wants them to know she’s not a bad person for Wiley’s sake. Sonny advises she just stay away from them.

Back at Joss’ place, Carly realizes Joss lied to her about being with friends last night. Joss didn’t consider it a lie and points out she didn’t know she was dating Drew. Carly says that is beside the point, she came to see her because Esme is back in town and nobody knows where she is.

Carly leaves, and Dex comes too. He says he dreamt her mother was here, and Joss admits she was and she’s agreed to help them. She tells him to lie down and rest, and he says, “Thanks beautiful.” He remembers the night they met and calls her his beautiful guardian angel, an angel so bright it hurts to look at. He passes out, and Joss thinks it’s a good thing he’s delirious and won’t remember this. She smiles and says, “But I will.”

Carly meets with Brick at the Metro Court. She thanks him for coming through for her. He invites her into his room, and Nina lurks in the hall.
