At the Quartermaines’ house, Michael confronts Drew and tells him he’s hiding behind their children, Willow and is making excuses for his mistakes.

At the gatehouse, Carly stops Willow and Nina from leaving with the kids. Nina tells her to get out of the way.

She goes to Jason, and he hugs and comforts her. In Portia’s office, Liz and Portia talk about Dex’s death. Liz confirms all proper protocols were followed. Portia tells her that Dex’s death will be added to Sam’s case and investigated. Portia asks Liz to step away from patient care and possibly take leave from the hospital. She’s to have no patient interaction. Lucky asks if it’s only until Liz is cleared. Portia says all the footage has to be reviewed until then, and it would take time. Liz decides she will work in any capacity at GH, and Portia is happy she will stay.
