Dinah finds Gus stoned out of his mind in his car after his crash. She moves him to the passenger seat then jumps behind the wheel so she can act like she was driving. An officer approaches and Dinah explains that her boyfriend was wired on coffee and made her so tense she pushed too hard on the gas pedal. The officer checks her license, says she did more damage to her car than property, and lets her go. She tells Gus, "You owe me." She takes Gus back to his room, telling him she won't cover for him again. Gus taunts Dinah by telling her that Mallet has probably been talking to Harley everyday since Gus has been gone and that the two will soon "hook up." Dinah slaps him. Dinah admits to Gus that she and Mallet are engaged. Gus decides to call Harley, but Dinah says now is not the time. Gus admits that nobody would want him the way he is now. Dinah insists that Harley can help him through this just as she had helped Dinah. When she says they will start by flushing his pills, Gus tells her that has already been tried and nothing will work until he's able to have the pills in front of him and walk away on his own. She leaves after telling him that whenever he is tempted to get a fix from the pills, focus on Harley, the kids, and his future. After she's gone, Gus picks up the bottle of pills and says, "Don't you stare at me like that." He begins cleaning up his room, while keeping his eye on the bottle of pills. He picks up a picture of Harley, cleans it off and places it on his table. The pills are in his focus again.

Mallet meets his former partner, Regina, at Company. Regina is the officer Mallet had an affair with that led to his and Harley's divorce. She apologizes for getting in contact with him but she's been getting threatening notes. After comparing the threats that have been delivered to his and Dinah's room with the ones Regina has received, Mallet determines that it he is the target of the threats, not Dinah. Apparently someone he and Regina had put away is now out of prison and has revenge toward them planned. Mallet lets it slip to Regina that he's engaged, but asks Regina to keep it quiet. When she asks him why, he responds that he's really not quite sure.

Frank comes into Company with a DVD of "The Law" episode featuring Mallet and tells him his favorite part was the end when Mallet and Dinah get engaged. Franks teases Mallet by acting out the scene. They laugh, Mallet looks embarrassed, and Frank suggests they have a party the night the show is aired. Mallet doesn't think it will air, but Frank tells him it's out of his control now. Ha, Ha.

Mallet and Regina are leaving Company when Regina gives Mallet her key in case something should happen to her. She thanks and hugs Mallet while Dinah looks on.

After Coop proposes marriage to Lizzie outside of Company, the two go to the courthouse to get a marriage license. They run into Ava's who is there to apologize to her date, Jerry, for the lousy evening. When she learns that Coop and Lizzie are there to get a marriage license, she ends up being the witness to the signing of the papers. When Ava leaves, visibly upset, Coop suggests to Lizzie that they go immediately to the Justice of the Peace and get married then. Although Lizzie obviously wants a different kind of wedding, she tells Coop she knows he's just going through with the marriage because of the baby, so they can go to the JOP. Coop assures her that he's not doing it just for the baby, but for the three of them. He wants a real family, with more kids later down the road. He agrees they should have a traditional wedding as long as Lizzie promises to keep it simple. She is ecstatic.

After Reva fell on Main Street, Jonathan picks up things that spilled from her purse and insists she go to Cedars to be checked out. While in the examining room, Jonathan is being the dutiful son, helping Reva fill out her paperwork. She wishes he would be the dutiful father and own up to everyone that he's the father of Lizzie's baby. She says he will be abandoning the child and he tells her it's too late. And she sends him off saying, "Fine, let some other guy raise your child. I did it. Why shouldn't you?" In the hall, Jon pulls from his pockets the things he had picked up from Reva's spilled purse. He finds her medication for the side effects of chemotherapy. He returns to her room and confronts her with the medication. After several denials, she finally admits that she has cancer. Jon immediately has trouble keeping back his tears. He asks her how bad it is and she indicates that it could be better. He breaks down in tears and she asks him not to be afraid for her because she's not. When he asks her how Josh is handling it she reveals that no one knows except for Jon. He gets angry and calls her a hypocrite for insisting he come clean about the baby when she won't even tell her own family about her illness. Reva doesn't believe it is the same thing. Josh says that if Reva won't tell Josh, he will. Reva says she'll come clean to Josh if he comes clean about the baby. She tells him that she's not telling anyone, and neither is he. He leaves and Reva cries aloud, looking at a picture of Josh. Jon can't leave the hospital and returns to her room. They hug and Reva apologizes for laying all this news on him. He asks her what she needs. She replies that there is something she needs him to do for her.
