Dalton drags Rocco into the PCU auditorium, demanding that the boy be arrested for breaking into his lab. Laura orders Dalton to take his hands off the boy, who is a minor, while Ezra is all too happy to go find the police.

Dalton explains that Rocco broke into his secure lab, but Laura suggests that perhaps the door was open and he didn’t know where he was. Dalton says there are signs posted that read “Authorized Personnel Only.”

Ezra brings the cops, and Laura tries to defuse the situation, as nothing was broken or damaged, so she’s willing to look the other way, given that Dalton manhandled her grandson. Ezra suggests that if the key fob is on Rocco, then the boy knew what he was doing.

Of course, Rocco hands over the key fob, and the police are forced to arrest him. Laura tells him it will be OK and not to say another word, and she leaves the debate to accompany him to the station.

Compromising Situations

At the PCPD, Nathan sits at his old desk, not aware he’s in Chase’s seat until he sees the photos. Chase arrives, and Nathan and Chase introduce themselves.

Molly drops by her mom’s office and tells her that she won’t be going up against her in court in Willow’s case, as Turner wants all the glory. Alexis knows this would have been a high-profile case for her, but Molly is glad, as they’ve had enough upheaval in their family over the past year.

Rocco sees his grandma and Charlotte there, and Charlotte tells him that he didn’t have to sacrifice himself. Rocco insists he did. Rocco apologizes to his grandma, but her only concern is her grandson. She says they’ll all get through this.

At Sonny’s, Gio asks if going to the cops will help, but Sonny says giving the police information is not a smart move. Also, unlike Rocco, they are adults so the consequences would be worse for them. Sonny says Roccos’ fate is in the hands of the lawyers right now.

At Bobbie’s, Ric gets a call from Sonny, who tells him he has a way for him to prove himself.

In Alexis’ office, Jason tells his son that Rocco chose to protect him and Charlotte, so respect that choice. However, he wants to know where the key fob came from.
