They all head over to the coffee house to talk to Cassie and Noah about Nick being away for a while and that he's with the police trying to clear up the mistake.

• Victoria stops by at Gina's on her way to the airport because they've run into a little car trouble along to way. Ryan comes in and they both talk about seeing Megan. He tells her how he's grateful she did talk to Carter about Tricia because she saw how much help Tricia needs

When Ashley has concernes about leaving Abby, he tells her that she'll be coming too so there's no need for worries about anything.

• Olivia and Mamie talk about Malcolm and Nate at the Abbott house. Olivia tells her that she's decided to cut Malcolm out completely.

• Neil gets a visit from Alex at his office. She tells him that she talked to Malcolm and that he's in rough shape. Neil asks her where he is because he wants to talk to him.

DA Richards tells the court that Nick was operating a well organized, professional operation and should be denied bail. Silva puts up a fight against him.

The court appreciates that. Sharon then gets up to speak on Nick's behalf, telling them how upstanding Nick is to the community and to his family. The judge speaks out afterwards with his ruling.

In the fantasy, she tells him she's going to change out of her swimsuit but goes behind a sheet and he watches her shadow changing. She then comes out from behind the curtain and turns into Mack. He tells her he doesn't want to hurt her anymore but that's what seems to happen everytime they're together. She asks him how he feels and he tells her he cares about her so much.

• JT and Mack go to the coffee house and sit together at a table. She's not too pleased the way he was laying it on around her friends and tells him she doesn't think they should continue it.
