Joss and Trina finish up some HIIT training in the park. Trina says her heart is about to burst out of her chest, so she’s glad she’s with a doctor-to-be. Joss admits she’s not sure she’s going to become a doctor anymore and is thinking about switching her major. Trina asks what brought this on. Joss says Adam’s problems gave her a glimpse into her future and how exhausting it will be. Trina knows how hard becoming a doctor is because of her mom, but she always said it was worth it.

Joss has to figure out what she wants to major in, and Trina gets it. Trina also has to figure out what she’s going to do about school, which is why she’s shocked because Joss was always so on track. She asks what changed. Suddenly, Dex jogs by with the rest of the PCPD recruits. Trina realizes this has something to do with Dex.

Joss recalls when Dex got hurt by the hook, and she had to stitch him up, which made her realize she wanted to help people. Trina thinks by people Joss means Dex. Joss insists she wasn’t getting into medicine for Dex, and she’s not getting out of it because of him. She feels she shouldn’t take a spot in medical school from someone who really wants to be there, so she should figure out what she wants to do that could bring good into the world. Trina says she’ll be by her side, helping her figure things out, but she knows Joss is still in love with Dex. Trina asks why she can’t admit it.

Dex heads to the PCPD locker room to change after a shower. He puts on a recruit uniform and looks at himself in the mirror.

Drew blurts out that he has a project to talk to him about, but the Congressman doesn’t hand out favors to corporations. Drew explains this is for the people of Port Charles.

Nina expresses how sorry she is, and how valuable he has been to Port Charles. The Congressman wants Nina to release his statement about his plans.

The Congressman says he’ll need to see some figures and specks, but he’ll do his best to put this through the house. They shake hands.

Carly stops by Sonny’s place to see him. Ava explains he’s out, so Carly barges in and says she’ll wait until he returns. Ava tells Carly this is Sonny’s house, so she can’t come in here and order her around, as she’s Sonny’s guest.

Carly says she will speak to her ex, and the father of her children, whenever she wants. Ava says she can leave a message for Sonny, but will probably be waiting awhile for Sonny to call her back. Carly thinks Ava sounds defensive, and Ava counters that Carly sounds desperate.

Sonny arrives and asks Carly why she’s here and where Donna is. Carly wants to talk to Sonny alone, as she’s not discussing Donna in front of Ava. Ava leaves to make a call, and Carly explains Donna is not coming here anymore. She says it’s not good for Donna to be here with him. He yells that he won’t be cut out of Donna’s life, and he threatens to take her to court. She tells him to go for it as Donna doesn’t deserve to be around his level of hate and anger.

Sonny asks why she’s turning his family against him, and if it is because of Jason. Carly says he’s making no sense, he’s living in an alternate universe. Carly has a realization and rushes into his bathroom to search for his pills. He follows and asks what she’s doing. She’s making sure he’s taken his meds.

Carly pleads with him that he’s not OK, and she’s not judging him, but she needs to know if he’s taking his meds. Ava comes out after hearing the screaming. Sonny says he wouldn’t risk everything by not taking his meds and asks, “Do you think that little of me?” She wants him to have his blood level checked, and perhaps he needs his dosage adjusted. He tells her he doesn’t need his dosage adjusted and throws her out.

Sonny tells Ava that there is nothing wrong with him. Ava agrees and says Carly is being unreasonable. Sonny rants, “Carly can go to hell.” He walks into his room, and Ava looks at the bottle of his pills.

Sam arrives home and finds Dante having a beer on the terrace. She sees the gift Sonny gave him. She can tell something is going on, and Dante feels like he may have crossed a line with Sonny. He tells her that Sonny advised him to stay away from Dex, and worries he’ll ask him to interfere with investigations next.

Dante admits when he found out about Dex joining the academy, his first thought was how this could hurt his father, and that his father could be guilty of something. Sam knows he has never compromised himself for Sonny. Dante thought he could be a good son and a good cop, but he hasn’t been a good cop. They both know what Sonny does, and it’s his job to stop that. Sam says he’s a good cop and to give himself a break. Dante says the reality is he’s gone easy on his father, and that’s a conflict of interest. If he won’t enforce the law, then he has no business being a cop.

Alexis tells Diane, “When this explodes, it will shred my entire family.” Ava says, “It’s staggering how entitled she is.” Anna tells Bennet not to trust them to anyone expect her.
