At the hospital, Liz and Portia catch up. Portia admits she’s been avoiding Curtis, and that she’s angry and hurt. She calls the situation sad, and she knows they need to talk, but part of her worries it’s already too late. Liz understands it’s hard to ask someone to risk their heart again after so much hurt. Portia wonders if they are talking about her and Curtis, or Liz and Finn. Liz admits they have been talking again, and Violet pushed her and Finn to go on a date. She says after it was over, Finn kept apologizing for Violet having the wrong idea about them.

Liz says if Finn wants to be just friends, that’s fine, but if they try again, she doesn’t want to break Violet’s heart if it doesn’t work out. Portia asks if it’s really Violet’s heart she’s worried about breaking. Portia knows she and Finn had their issues, but he could want to try again too. She advises Liz will never know if she doesn’t tell Finn how she feels. Liz decides her friend is right and she’s going to the Metro Court and tell Finn how she feels. Portia suggests she might want to go home first, take a shower, and put something on to show Finn what he’s missing out on. Liz thinks that’s a good idea. Later Portia changes into something dazzling in the locker room and tells a nurse she’s going out for a night on the town.

At the Metro Court bar, Chase surprises Violet and Finn. He asks if they’ve seen Brook Lynn, who he invited to their family dinner, and hopes that’s okay. Finn says it is, and he last saw her at the pool with Tracy. Chase assumes he better go rescue her.

Elsewhere, Tracy asks Brook Lynn why she would admit to downloading proprietary information. Brook Lynn says because she likes Lucy and Maxie, they are her friends, and she has a shred of decency and couldn’t let Maxie take the fall for this. Tracy says it sounds like she is unhappy at work, and reminds her she can still fill Chase in on what she did to get him reinstated. Suddenly Chase shows up, and Brook Lynn tells her granny they have plans, and they can’t keep Finn and Violet waiting. She leads Chase off.

Chase rejoins Finn and Violet, and Brook Lynn takes off to take care of something quickly. Tracy appears and learns they are all having a big family dinner, and notes she’s ordering takeout all alone. Violet insists Aunt Tracy join them, and says now they have an even number of boys and girls. Tracy is confused until Gregory appears. She notes, “Oh boy this is going to be fun.”

Brook Lynn returns as everyone sits down and wonders, “What did I do God to deserve this? Wait, don’t answer that.” Brook Lynn joins them, and Tracy says she needs a drink. Violet recommends the Shirley Temples, but Tracy says she’ll need something much, much stronger.

As dinner carries on, Brook Lynn tells Chase she’s sorry her grandmother hijacked their dinner. Chase wonders if Tracy is lonely. Brook Lynn comments, “She’s something all right.”

Jordan asks if she’s saying it’s normal to find the word murder sprayed on her front door. Anna asks how she knows about that, and Jordan admits Valentin told her.

Meanwhile, TJ explains to Molly that he only came to talk to Curtis, and he meant to leave before she arrived. He’ll head home, but she stops him.
