Diane arrived at Carly's, and Carly asked Diane to keep her out of prison. She told Diane about her meeting with the Five Families in Sonny's absence and that someone had to have been wearing a wire. She explained that the recording of that meeting was why Jason had been away for so long and had become an FBI informant. She'd learned that the FBI didn't usually honor their deals, so she wanted to call their bluff -- but she wanted to know her chances of acquittal first.

Diane thought that, "in this age of deepfakes and digital trickery," the FBI would have to present the original audio file, but Carly figured that wouldn't be hard. In that case, Diane thought that the FBI could mount a strong case against Carly. She figured that Carly might have a 30% chance at an acquittal. She advised Carly to let Jason keep doing what he was doing, as it had kept Carly out of prison so far. Carly asked Diane to work on a defense just in case. Diane agreed and left.

Josslyn was putting away cleaning supplies at her apartment when there was a knock on the door, and she opened the door to Dex. He had food for them and offered help with anything she might need. A short while later, they ate as he told her about his de-escalation class at the police academy. He added that he loved that she never backed down from a fight, but both agreed that they were learning that taking a step back was sometimes the better option.

Dex admitted that he'd sometimes thought about helping Josslyn move out of her dorm and into his place, and she confessed that she had, too. Dex asked what it would take to get them back to where they had been before. She wasn't sure how to put the incident behind them, but she acknowledged how important it was that he hadn't crossed the line of taking a life. She was happy for him that he seemed to be exactly where he wanted to be. He had an early morning the next day, so he had to go. She figured she might run into him and the other cadets running in the park, and he left.

Jason and Danny arrived at the garage, where Jason worked on his motorcycle, and Danny marveled that it was better than going to the gym. Jason said that it was important to know how to maintain any vehicle. They got to talking while working on the bike, and Jason told Danny about his accident and memory loss. When the work was done, Danny wondered when Jason would teach him how to ride, but Jason knew that Sam would have to approve first. "I don't see that happening," Danny replied. Jason figured there were plenty of other things they could do together, as Danny could do anything he set his mind to.

Dante was home when Sam arrived, and they realized that all three kids were out of the house. Sam told Dante about the FBI recording and how it was the reason why Jason had stayed away. Dante informed her that she was telling him about committing a federal crime, which made him an accessory. She insisted that Spinelli had covered their tracks flawlessly, but he urged her to act like it had never happened from then on. She knew he was right, but she had just been trying to help. She'd realized that Carly would always be Jason's priority, which would break Danny's heart. Dante responded that they needed to make sure Danny never found out.

A short while later, Sam left a message for Spinelli that he was to do nothing about the recording until he heard from her. Just as she hung up, Jason arrived with Danny. Danny told Sam and Dante all about helping with the motorcycle. Jason left, and Danny gushed that his dad was the best, "no offense." "None taken," Dante assured him, and Danny went upstairs. Sam embraced Dante.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Violet ran into Finn's arms as Chase and Brook Lynn tearfully looked on. Violet wondered if they would be going home soon. Finn sadly informed her that she would be staying with her uncle for a while longer, as he had to go to a "special hospital" for help to stop drinking. Violet insisted that she could help, and then he could stay. He promised that he would get better and then return to be the father that she deserved. He urged her to have fun at the Quartermaines' and promised to be back before she knew it. He hugged and kissed her one last time and made his way out with Chase. He looked back and blew Violet a kiss, and he and Chase left as Brook Lynn hugged Violet.

A short while later, Brook Lynn took a snack to Violet, but Violet wasn't hungry. Violet asked about the hospital Finn was going to, and Brook Lynn assured her that it was a beautiful place with kind people and lots to do. Brook Lynn reminded Violet of how much there was to do at the house, but she thought the best part was the other people who lived there. She praised Violet for being so brave, but Violet thought it was easy with Chase and Brook Lynn. "I'm glad you're my family," Violet said, and Brook Lynn hugged her.

Chase pulled up to the front of the rehab facility with Finn. Finn thanked Chase for letting him say goodbye to Violet. He regretted everything he'd said to Chase, Brook Lynn, and Elizabeth, and he especially regretted scaring his daughter. Chase thought it could have been worse, and he promised to take great care of Violet. Chase offered to walk Finn in, but Finn teased that he wouldn't make a break for it. Finn finally got out of the car. He hesitated at the front door as a tearful Chase looked on. Finn went in, and Chase punched his steering wheel. He regained his composure and drove away.
