Lucy joined Martin at Charlie's and purred, "Wait until you see what I have on underneath." He proposed that they leave so he could find out, but she was starving and needed food first. He told her that he needed to leave town for a short while, and he invited her along with him. He reluctantly told her about Anna blackmailing him to break his attorney-client privilege. Lucy believed that the truth would set him free, so he confessed his economic issue with his ex-wives and added that the client in question was Valentin. "I'll help you pack," she replied. She informed him that she couldn't join him, as she had too much going on with Deception.

Maxie joined Austin at the Metro Court restaurant and apologized for being late, as she'd treated Spinelli to a pedicure. She told Austin about Spinelli's feelings for Britt, and Austin was shocked. Changing the subject, Austin talked about how Georgie was the only child he wasn't able to get on good terms with. He excitedly handed Maxie a brochure for a water park so they could spend time together. Maxie wondered if he was ready for a family, but he wanted to see if he would fit in. Just then, Austin got a phone call, and he got up from the table to get it.

When Austin returned, he revealed that there had been an incident at one of his cabins in Pautuck, so he needed to go up there for a few days. He hoped to be done in time for the weekend with Maxie and the kids. She offered to go visit Pautuck with the kids, but he didn't want her to waste the time, as he would be distracted by other problems. Lucy arrived just as Austin kissed Maxie and left, and Maxie ranted to Lucy about Austin's sudden exit. She thought the timing was too convenient, and she wondered if Austin was having second thought about their relationship.

In the PCPD interrogation room, Sonny asked if Spencer was going to be the sacrificial lamb or if he was going to sacrifice someone else. Spencer decided that he was the only one responsible for his escape. He appreciated Sonny's protection and survival tips, and he hoped that Sonny would do better than Spencer had at getting Esme to confess. Sonny promised that he was doing everything he could for Trina. He reminded Spencer to keep his head down and mouth shut, and Sonny left.

Later, Martin sat down with Spencer, who asked, "How long?" Martin replied that it was up to Spencer. Martin had talked to Robert; Spencer could either name his accomplices and get ten days in Spring Ridge, or he could stay quiet and get three months in Pentonville. Martin hoped that Spencer would take the deal, and he knew what Laura would want Spencer to do. Spencer countered that he'd rarely been held accountable for the things he'd done, so he was going to be a man and take responsibility.

Martin was incensed that Spencer would cover for Victor. Spencer likened one of his great-uncles trying to get him to "narc" on another great-uncle to something out of Greek mythology. "So be it, Apollo," Martin replied, and he wondered what it would take for Spencer to flip on "Hades." "No deal," Spencer stated, and a disappointed Martin handed Spencer the correct papers to sign. He informed Spencer that he would report to Pentonville in two weeks, but he offered to call Nikolas or Laura for help deciding. Spencer insisted that he needed no family, including Martin, to weigh in on his decision. He continued that, as Martin's client, his mind was made up, and he signed the papers.

Josslyn and Trina enjoyed the nice day at the pool, and Trina appreciated Josslyn's attempt at distraction. The girls stared as Dex emerged from the pool, and he waved at Josslyn. He approached the girls, and he asked if Josslyn could forget about what had happened the day before. Dex and Trina introduced themselves, and Dex walked away. Trina wondered who Dex was and what had happened the day before. Josslyn answered that Dex worked for Sonny, and she'd run into him a couple times. Across the room, Dex made a phone call and said, "There's something you should know."

A short while later, Sonny arrived. He asked Dex if Josslyn had told Trina about the jury tampering, but Dex didn't think so. He said he'd figured that Sonny would want to handle the situation. As Josslyn and Trina gushed about Trina's last time hanging out with Rory, Sonny approached, and Josslyn glared at him. Sonny wanted to let Trina know that she had people pulling for her. Sonny suggested that Dex get lunch for Trina, but she wasn't hungry. He replied that Dex would keep her company while he talked with Josslyn, and Josslyn got up to follow Sonny. Just then, Trina's phone went off, and she listened to a voicemail.

Across the room, Sonny told Josslyn not to concern herself with Dex's errand the day before. He said that as much as she wanted to hurt Sonny, he knew that she didn't want to hurt Trina. Josslyn conceded that, while she would never forgive Sonny for what he'd done to Carly, she was grateful for what he'd done for Trina. Just then, Dex approached and told Josslyn that Trina needed her. When Josslyn was gone, Dex confided that the jury was going to be back with a decision soon. Sonny commented that they were about to find out how strong Dex's "powers of persuasion" were.

Josslyn returned to Trina, and Trina informed Josslyn that Diane believed the jury would soon be back with a verdict. Josslyn assured Trina that Diane had done a great job establishing reasonable doubt, so the jury would do the right thing. If not, they would appeal, but Trina reminded Josslyn that she would still be in prison. "I just thought I had more time," Trina said, and Josslyn hugged her friend.

In Portia's office at the hospital, Portia told Curtis that it was "now or never" in regard to waking Oz up. When they reached Oz's room, they were surprised to see Jordan and Rory in front of the door. Jordan promised that, as Oz's guard, Rory would notify them when Oz woke up. Jordan also informed them that she'd tried to call Esme in for questioning, but it seemed like the girl had left town. Jordan urged Portia and Curtis to take care of themselves, as Oz was in good hands.

Jordan wanted to talk to Rory about Trina. She knew that he'd been a spectator at Trina's trial, and it was clear that he was familiar with Trina and her family. With Oz potentially being a key witness in Trina's case, she wondered if he could put his badge above his feelings for Trina.

Back in Portia's office, Portia and Curtis speculated on where Esme could be, but Portia knew that Oz was the only thing that could make a difference in Trina's case. Curtis knew that Oz would never be unguarded, so he suggested a distraction. However, since only Portia had a legitimate reason to be in the patient's room, she decided that she needed to try to wake him up on her own. They talked about the many ways things could go wrong, but Portia thought that the risk was worth the reward.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Austin entered. He commented that everyone was "abuzz" about the cop in front of a patient's room. Portia updated Austin on why the patient needed a guard, and he thanked her for the answer. He noticed that Portia and Curtis seemed edgy, and she reminded him of their family issues. He expressed his hope that things would go their way, and he left.

Curtis realized that everyone's eyes were on Oz's room, so the timing felt off. "If not now, when?" Portia responded. Just then, her phone went off, and she answered it to Diane. She listened for a minute and then hung up. She reported that Diane kept getting Trina's voicemail, so she'd called Portia to let her know that the jury would likely be back with a verdict soon. Curtis revealed that he'd intended to suggest that they sleep on it, but there was no time to wait. Portia decided that, to save Trina, she needed to wake Oz up "right now."

Austin was on the phone as he walked down the hall in the hospital. He told Mason to stop hassling him, as he'd just stopped off at work. "You win, I'll drop everything," he finally said, and he directed Mason to "tell her I'm on my way."
