Molly thinks it makes sense that Justine’s feelings toward Sonny are softening after he saved her life. Justine points out that the dinner invitation didn’t come from Sonny. It came from Donna, and she couldn’t bring herself to disappoint her. Molly asks if it will be awkward having dinner with Sonny and his daughter.
“Don’t worry,” Justine warns, “I can handle Sonny.”
Later, Chase swings by to see Molly. He lets her know that he is there off the books. He explains that Brook Lynn is managing Trina and Gio, and she mentioned how upset Trina is over Curtis being sent to prison. Chase notes that the Ashford family still doesn’t feel like they have any real closure.

Molly thinks it’s going to be impossible to find the other driver. Chase understands her doubt, but he still wants to give the Ashford family real answers.

Finally, Sonny tells Ava she needs to leave. He doesn’t want the arriving guests to see how bad she is for their daughter. Ava is left completely appalled.
Ava points out that his obvious contempt for her isn’t good for Avery. Sonny reminds her that Avery isn’t around. He adds that the rest of the family doesn’t like her either, so she shouldn’t stick around.
“Fine, I don’t want to spend any more time with you than absolutely necessary anyway,” she tells him as she storms out. Michael comes out right after and confirms that it was Ava leaving.
Later, as Sonny talks with Dante, Ric and Elizabeth arrive. Liz talks to Dante and asks if he has been icing his knee. He promises he has. Since the potato salad needs to get to the fridge, she offers to follow him inside.
Meanwhile, Sonny points out to Ric that he noticed Liz wasn’t wearing an engagement ring. Ric reveals he decided to follow Sonny’s advice to take things slow. Sonny tells him he made the right decision.
Rocco enters and asks for Dante. He then decides to make an exit, texting Scout on his way out.
Emma and Gio Overhear an Argument
Emma and Gio are kissing when they hear Brook Lynn’s voice, so they quickly hide.
Michael comes in and starts arguing with Brook Lynn while Gio and Emma overhear the whole thing. The two end up bickering about Willow moving back into the gatehouse.
Finally, Gio walks out from hiding.
“Someone tell me what’s going on here?” he asks.
Gio comes to his mother’s defense. However, Brook Lynn notes that Michael isn’t actually doing anything to her.
Neither Gio nor Brook Lynn can understand how Michael could move Willow back into the gatehouse. Michael defends his actions, stating there was simply no other solution, and walks out.
Gio wonders if everything is okay between his mom and Chase. She promises him that they are fine. She mentions that things are a bit scratchy between her and Michael right now, but they will be okay.
Gio tells her that if she ever needs him, he will always be there for her.
Here Comes Justine

“You’re just in time,” Donna tells her before bringing her inside.
“Daddy, look who’s here… surprise!” Donna shouts.
Justine explains that she thought it was just going to be the three of them. She had no idea his whole family would be there. Sonny notes that he told Donna that Justine was unavailable because of work. Justine claims she only stopped by to drop off the cupcakes. However, Donna invites Justine to stick around for a game of cornhole.
Liz helps Dante clean up and notices he has ketchup on his cheek, so she helps wipe it off.
Ric walks in, sees them, and offers extra napkins if they need them. Dante then leaves to bring in the dirty dishes.
Liz tells Ric she thinks she owes him an apology because she assumed he would be upset seeing her with Dante. Ric assures her he’s just glad she came. She tells him it’s nice seeing him surrounded by his family.
Kai Tells Trina the Truth

Nevertheless, Drew notes that once he gets Brennan out of the way, he can finally focus on Sonny. He asks her to keep Brennan busy while he breaks into his hotel room.
Ava wonders how she’s going to play this off since she and Brennan aren’t exactly friends. Drew suggests she tell him she has a story for him. However, Ava makes it clear she doesn’t want to give the WSB any kind of statement.
Drew assures her that she won’t be making a statement. All he needs is 20 minutes. Ava just hopes this does not come back to bite her.
