At the PCPD, Cody pays a ticket as Heather is escorted by in cuffs. Sasha arrives and asks an officer to see Heather. The officer assumes she’s her lawyer, and Sasha says she is. He leaves to have Heather brought up. Cody asks Sasha if she knows what she’s doing. Sasha says, “That murdering bitch killed my husband, and I’m going to see he gets justice.”

Cody stops by Dante and Sam’s. He tells Dante what Sasha’s doing and is hoping Dante can help her without exposing her. Dante agrees to step in, and he takes off. Alone, Sam asks Cody why he cares about Sasha. Cody says he just doesn’t want to see her be Heather’s next casualty.

Sam and Cody sit down for coffee, and she says she thinks she may have misjudged him. Cody replies, “You didn’t.” He wishes he and Britt never found the necklace as it was the beginning of the end for them. Sam suggests it may have been fate, as that necklace is made of cursed diamonds. He wishes he could blame what happened on a curse, but he made his mistakes with Britt due to greed. Sam admits greed caused her to make a lot of bad decisions, but she realized there were more valuable things to chase. She thinks there is still hope for him. He thanks her for the coffee and heads out. In the hall, Cody looks at his phone and Mac’s number.

Back at the station, Sasha asks to be alone with Heather, her client, in the interrogation room. Bennet wishes Sasha luck and departs. Heather is confused if she hired Sasha, or if she was court appointed. Heather claims she has a memory problem and sometimes forgets days at a time, or how she ends up in prison cells. She swears she doesn’t remember Ryan taking her and Esme away from Spring Ridge, and she thinks Ryan hypnotized her.

Dante enters the interrogation room and asks how things are going. Sasha reveals Heather just told her how she plans to get away with the hook killings. Sasha rails that she won’t let Heather exploit the system to get off easy again, she’s going to be a witness for the prosecution and take Heather down for good.

Heather cries she did nothing wrong, and Ryan was threatening her. Sasha applauds her act, but it won’t stand a chance against her grieving widow testimony. She says she is going to do whatever it takes to see Heather found guilty and get consecutive life sentences. Dante tells Sasha her time is up and shows her out. Left alone with Dante, Heather tells him that she’s ready to confess.

Dex and Joss wake up in his bed together and kiss. She jokes she’s never been with him in his bed, only on the couch. Dex points out she never slept over either. They both admit they have strong feelings for one another and kiss some more. Joss admits she’s never felt this way before and doesn’t want it to stop.

Later, Dex steps out, dressed, and returns with a bag. He gets a call about the Pikeman shipment, and he discusses with the person on the other end this is a big deal and they could all do time if it goes wrong. Joss overhears and asks what Pikeman is. Joss reminds him he swore he would be done working for Sonny soon, but that won’t do him any good if he’s arrested.

Nina vents about now she has no access to her own daughter and can’t believe Drew is OK with Carly lying to him for months about Willow. Drew isn’t OK with that but says he and Carly are members of an extended family through Michael and they are trying to get along for Willow’s sake. Nina seethes that Carly ruined any chance she had of reconciling with Willow. Drew tells her she has nobody to blame for that but herself. Drew points out she alienated Willow for years. Nina says if they had known the truth sooner, they could have reconciled earlier.
