In the PCPD interrogation room, Liz tends to Lucky’s injuries and thinks he shouldn’t even be here as Cody started that fight.
In the squad room, Felicia speaks to Mac and thinks he should talk with Cody. Mac notes Molly is with him, and he’s not sure what good he will be at getting through to him. This is his second drunken bar fight. Mac is worried about Cody, but Felicia points out Cody’s father had a wild side too. Mac says he didn’t listen to his dad either.
Back in the interrogation room, Liz brings up that Cody is apparently a pretty good card player, so maybe Lucky should smooth things over and challenge him to a game. Liz steers the conversation to their case.
Molly visits Cody in lockup and says the owner of Charlie’s only wants him to pay for damages. Cody thinks Lucky should have to pay too. Molly tells him that he threw the punches, and Lucky just tried to hold him down.
Cody tells her to throw the book at him, but she again says her sister won’t press charges if he pays for the damages. Cody has no money, so he guesses he’s stuck here, not that it matters.
Mac appears and asks, “Who says it doesn’t matter.” Molly explains Cody wants to be left in here and leaves to let them speak. Cody apologizes, saying he had a bad night, but Mac notes this is the second bad night and wonders if there is something they need to address.
Cody promises he’s done with the booze and bars, and he’s sorry he let him down. Mac says he is in a spiral and seems to be intent on trashing his life, so why? Cody says he’s had a lot of things in his life blow up recently, and when things are going well for him, he trashes them. He calls it a pattern. Mac says he didn’t have a family then, but now he does. Cody doesn’t get why he, Maxie and the others even talk to him. Mac says he’s family and they can’t be pushed away. Cody says he’ll apologize to Maxie, Kristina and Spinelli, and says he isn’t good at talking, so thank you. Mac says he did a good job tonight talking to him, and decides to leave him here to think about things.
In the station, Molly runs into Felicia on her way to her office, and they talk about Cody. Lucky and Liz, still in the interrogation room, spot Felicia and think they should talk to her about the day Dex died.
In the squad room, Felicia relays to Lucky and Liz what she told Joss about the day Dex was stabbed. She wonders why this is important to them. Lucky says if Cyrus stabbed Dex, he may have done other things to other people. Liz asks if Felicia has run into Cyrus at the hospital. Felicia says she saw him only a few times, and the patients loved him, but he’s been banned and she doesn’t know why.
Later, Felicia is alone when Molly returns and tells an officer that Cody can be released in the morning. Felicia approaches Molly and says Mac hasn’t come back yet, and she thought he was arranging for Cody’s release. Molly says Cody is spending the night in the drunk tank to learn a lesson. Felicia hopes there won’t be a third time, but having seen her mom go through this over and over with Kristina, Molly says there is always a next time for people like Cody.
Liz and Lucky gather their things from the interrogation room, and Lucky feels their next step should be interviewing the staff at Turning Woods and checking their records to find out if anyone Cyrus visited died of a heart attack. Liz thinks the staff won’t talk to him, given the scene he caused when Lulu went missing. He suggests he shut up and let her do all the talking. Liz thinks that will work just fine.

She complains there is nothing she can do about the size. He tells her this place looks better than a motel room to the court, and he doesn’t know why he’s wasting his time with her as he’s basically doing this pro bono.

Natalia leaves Sonny in Brick’s care. Brick asks about this heart business of his, and Sonny fills him in on its progression over the months, and that Isaiah gave him a prescription, which helps.

Irked, Kristina tells her mother that Dad sold it to her, they have a contract, and a payment plan is in place and it’s all above board and legit. She also says Dad was right, and this work was exactly what she needed. However, she’s worried about Dad as there is a new date for Avery’s custody case. She vows to do whatever it takes to keep Avery from Ava.
Lucy saunters up to the bar to brag about making another commission renting a place to Ava. She quickly apologizes, noting Ava is likely the last person Kristina wants to hear about.

Brick leaves them to brainstorm. Sonny lets Natalia know she doesn’t have to do anything more than she has. Natalia says he needs to learn to say thank you when people offer him help. Sonny thanks her.
At Carly’s place, Lucas jokes with Joss about her makeover by Donna and Avery. Joss said it was a good distraction from her screw-up. She basically told Cyrus she was onto him as the person who stabbed Dex. She notes Lucas doesn’t seem surprised. Lucas says Lucky and Liz have a theory, which he’ll tell her if she stays out of it. She can’t promise that, joking it’s a genetic thing.
Lucas tells Joss their theory that Cyrus is killing the patients at GH. They haven’t gone to Anna as they need proof and have none. Joss says if Cyrus is killing people rather than comforting them, then there has to be a way to tie him to all these murders and she’s going to find it. Lucas wants her to stay away from this mess. She says she will, adding, “What can I do, really?”
