Nina Gives Sonny an Unexpected Answer to His Proposal — Plus, Chase Recreates a Classic 80s Movie Moment to Win Back Brook Lynn

Dex hits the bag at Sonny’s gym when Spencer arrives. Dex says he heard things got rough in Greenland, and Joss was worried about him. He’s glad he made it back in once piece. Spencer tells Dex he can stop sucking up as nobody is here to see it. Spencer notes that his uncle might trust him, but he’ll always be a backstabbing traitor to him.

Trina enters and quickly diffuses the tension. Dex tells Trina he’s glad both she and Spencer are home safe and leaves to hit the showers. Trina tells Spencer he’s being a jerk, and it would be best if he got along with Dex because Joss is dating him. Spencer swears it won’t last as Joss hates what Sonny stands for, and dating his employee is a non-starter. Spencer calls them complete opposites, but Trina says love and logic don’t always go together, and the heart wants what it wants. They share a kiss.

Dex heads to the steam room and Joss follows him in. She says, “Fancy seeing you here?” They kiss and quickly drop their towels.

Back in the gym, Joss enters and is happy to see Spencer in one piece, and gives him a hug. Trina can see Joss looks upset and asks if it is Willow. Joss says Willow is fine, but she and Michael had a fight. Spencer decides to give them time alone and exits, claiming it’s probably too early for him to get back in the gym.

Trina asks Joss to spill it. Joss says Michael is a condescending ass who won’t accept what she and Dex have is real. Trina gets it and that it’s hard when people act like they are too young to know what’s best for them, and she knows as people have treated her the same way because of Spencer.

Back in the steam room, Dex snaps out of his fantasy when Spencer walks in. Dex asks, “Short workout?” Spencer explains he’s still recovering from Greenland. Spencer informs Dex that he, Joss and Cam have grown up together and he knows Joss far better than he does. Spencer runs down a number of facts about her. Dex says all his examples are of Joss as a kid, but he doesn’t seem to know who Joss is now as an adult. Spencer says Dex needs to admit it, Joss is going places and he’s muscle for hire for her ex-stepfather, who she hates. Dex says Joss makes up her own mind and deserves more than an entitled punk like him for a friend. Spencer decks Dex.

Later, Dex exits the showers and finds Joss and Trina chatting. Dex suggests to  Joss that they go to dinner, and Joss says she’d love to. Trina asks Dex if he saw Spencer, and Dex says he’s still in the locker room. She wonders if he said anything to him. Dex comments, “Nothing important.”

Once Joss and Dex leave, Spencer comes out with a blood lip, Trina asks what happened and if Dex his to him. Spencer says they just got into it a little. Trina wants to call Joss, but Spencer stops her. He admits he punched Dex, but Dex dodged it and defended himself, bringing the scuffle to an end. Trina is furious and reminds him Joss is her best friend. She asks, “Why can’t you get along?” Spencer blames Dex and says he’s tried to be nice, but it’s impossible.

At home, Brook Lynn is writing when Ned enters on the phone. He has someone looking into who tipped off the SEC to prove his innocence. Ned checks on his daughter and asks if everything is okay. She’s working on a song, so Ned takes a look at it. He thinks this is dark, and guesses things aren’t going well with Chase. Brook Lynn rants Chase dumped her and is back at work, so nothing is going on between them.

Tracy arrives and notes they both have gloomy faces. Ned says he still hasn’t been able to find who tipped off the SEC. Brook Lynn notes the only way to do that is to find out who would want to hurt Carly and Drew. Brook Lynn comes to a realization that this could be someone who only wants to hurt Carly or Drew, but not both. Ned gets a call and excuses himself.

Tracy tells Brook Lynn she’s glad to see her using her time helping her dad instead of mooning after Chase. Brook Lynn reminds her grandmother she promised to stay away from Chase if she went back to Deception. Tracy blurts out, “Oops!” Brook Lynn asks what she’s done. Tracy explains she let Chase know she doesn’t like how he looks down his nose at her. Brook Lynn cries she promised to stay out of this. Tracy says what’s done is done and she is better off without Chase.

Ned returns to a lot of silence and asks what Tracy did. As they bicker, Brook Lynn hears her song being played. She goes outside to find Finn holding up a boom box in a Say Anything moment, playing the song, as Chase serenades Brooke Lynn by singing “Forever.”

After the song ends, Finn quickly heads inside. Tracy can’t believe Finn got roped into that ridiculous display. Finn says, “What can I say, he’s family.”

On the patio, Brook Lynn asks what Chase is doing here. He replies, “Trying to get the best thing that ever happened to me back.” He knows he has a lot to make up for. She shushes him and they kiss. Chase tells her that he misses her and he’s been so unfair to her. She says she owes him an apology too, as she selfishly kept him to herself when she knew his badge meant everything. Brook Lynn says she wants to be a better person for him. He thinks they are pretty great together. He asks if she can forgive him. Brook Lynn tells Chase there is nothing to forgive, and she’s not holding a grudge. Chase doesn’t want her harboring bad feelings. She tells him, “Shut up and kiss me!” Which he does.
