At Bobbie's, Josslyn offered to help Carly out, as things were crazy in the kitchen, but Carly insisted that Josslyn study. Carly added that she'd called for help fixing the stove, and right on cue, Michael arrived. Josslyn teased that he should just buy a new stove, and Michael teased Carly that she could have called her "new boyfriend" to help. Carly finally got Michael to go to the back, and she briefly told Josslyn about what had happened with John. Just then, John walked in. Carly walked over and asked if she could get him anything, but he wanted to give her something in return for all she'd done for him.

Michael emerged from the kitchen, and he and Josslyn watched Carly and John. Josslyn wondered if Carly actually liked John, but Michael insisted that he'd been messing around. He did think that they should keep an eye on John. As Michael and Josslyn watched from across the restaurant, John playfully accused Carly of setting up his beat-down as a warning. "You want a warning? Call first," she replied. He answered that he didn't have her number, so he'd have to give his to her. She handed over her phone, and he put his number in.

Carly returned to Josslyn, who wondered if Sonny was really behind John's attack. "Imagine what he'd do to Dex once he finds out he's becoming a cop," Josslyn stated. Carly instructed Josslyn that she needed to respect Dex's decision. Michael returned and broke it to Carly that either there was a problem with the gas, or she would need a new stove. Carly walked off to call the repairman, but she stopped short when she opened her phone and saw John's number.

At the hospital, Dante told someone on the phone that he would be returning to work, even though he would only be doing paperwork for a while. When he was off the phone, he bumped into Finn and asked if everything was all right. Finn divulged that he'd invited everyone to Chase's bachelor party at the Savoy that night, but it was closed for a private event. Dante thought they could still salvage the party, and he told Finn that he would take care of it.

Outside the police station, Dex and Bennet ran the necessary timed physical tests with Dex that included running, jumping, climbing, shooting, and pulling a dummy. When he was done, he asked how he had done, but Bennet coldly replied that Dex would get all the results from his physical and written tests after the results were reviewed. When Bennet was gone, Chase unofficially assured Dex that Dex had done well. Chase added that he admired Dex's service in Afghanistan and that Dex had broken away from Sonny.

At Haven Bistro, Ava expressed how much she appreciated Trina's extra time at the gallery. Trina revealed that she was saving up for a place of her own. Just then, Ava got a call from Applied Analytical Labs, but she rejected the call. She wondered if it was a good time for Trina to be alone, but Trina thought that a little self-reliance wouldn't be a bad thing. Trina asked how living at Sonny's was going. Ava answered that they were getting used to each other and settling into a routine. Trina had to go open the gallery, so Ava handed Trina her credit card to pay for breakfast.

When Trina was gone, Ava called the lab back. The technician, Stewart, explained that the contents of the capsules she'd sent in didn't match the code on each of the capsules. He continued that the pills were supposed to be 50 milligrams, but they were only 10 milligrams. A shocked Ava was off the phone by the time Trina returned. As Ava signed the receipt, she suggested that Trina and Josslyn move in together off-campus, and Trina liked the idea. She mentioned that Josslyn and Dex had broken up, and that Dex was trying to be a cop.

Sonny splashed some water on his face, emerged from the bathroom, and found Lois in a conversation with Frank. When Frank left, Lois demanded to know what was going on with Sonny, as he hadn't responded to the wedding invitation. Sonny revealed that he was just going to send a gift, as he didn't want to put a damper on the day. Lois talked about how much Brook Lynn loved him and wanted him to be there. He talked about the security risk, but Lois informed him that Yuri had handled the security, so everything would be fine. He finally agreed, and Ava arrived as Lois asked if he wanted a plus-one.

Lois hadn't realized that Ava was still staying at Sonny's place, and she suggested that Ava have Lucy find a place for her. Ava thanked her for the suggestions, and Lois left. Sonny explained that Lois was overprotective of him, but Ava wondered if she and Avery had overstayed their welcome. Sonny insisted that he liked having them there. Ava asked if he'd taken his medication yet, but he hadn't, so he went to the bathroom to take it. When he returned, Ava broke the news to him that Dex was joining the PCPD, and he slammed a fist down on the table in anger.

There was a knock on Finn's office door, and Lois entered to ask him a favor regarding the wedding. She asked Finn to tell Gregory to blind copy her on all wedding-related emails he sent to Tracy so she knew the details without having to go to Tracy or having Tracy know that she knew. Finn promised to pass along the suggestion. She asked how Gregory was doing, and Finn replied that Gregory had stopped sharing any medical updates. Lois knew that Chase and Brook Lynn were supposed to find a back-up for Gregory if he wasn't well enough to do the ceremony, but she knew that they hadn't done that. She wondered if Finn wanted her to quietly find a back-up just in case, and Finn thought that was a good idea. Lois maintained that she was on it, even thought there would be no need.

In Anna's office, her phone rang, and she told the caller to "send him in." Cyrus entered her office, and he revealed that he was ready to make a statement about his New Year's Eve attack. She started the recorder and asked if he could identify his attacker. "Sonny Corinthos," he answered. A short while later, Anna handed him a typed version of his statement to review and sign. He mentioned the "young man in scrubs" who'd visited him in his hospital room to "do harm." Anna replied that she knew about that man, and he'd severed all ties with Sonny. Cyrus signed the statement and wondered if he'd have to leave town for his own safety. Anna assured him that the statement was confidential "for now," until she found the best possible use for it.

Dante arrived at the police station, and everyone in the station applauded. He got to his desk and found a balloon and some goodies from Eckert's. Anna entered and welcomed him back. Dante invited her to Chase's axe-throwing bachelor party that night, and he briefly told her what had happened with the party. He urged her to spread the word, as he had calls to make.

Anna returned to Cyrus with a copy of the statement for him to keep. She promised to give him a heads-up when she intended to charge Sonny. "I would wish you well, but --" she started, and Cyrus finished, "You don't." He said he understood, "with a history like mine."

Later, Bennet entered Anna's office and informed her that Dex had scored in the 98th percentile of applicants in PCPD history. She sensed that Bennet still had reservations. He acknowledged that applicants like Dex "don't come around often." Although he believed that Dex would make an excellent cop, Bennet hoped that Dex wouldn't need his own police protection.

Chase and Dex approached Dante, who was finishing up a call about Chase's surprise bachelor party. When he hung up, he wondered how much Chase had heard, and Chase revealed that he'd heard all the details. Dante invited Dex, who accepted and left. Dante thought that Finn was going to kill him, but Chase promised to act surprised.

Dex bumped into Cyrus on his way out, and Cyrus commented that he didn't recognize Dex without the scrubs. Dex sincerely apologized for what he was supposed to have done in Cyrus' hospital room. He acknowledged that he'd taken a wrong turn in life, and he was there to try to correct it. Cyrus replied that, coincidentally, he was at the police station for the same thing.
