While Stu is hospitalized, horribly beaten up by Sid, Sasha is allowed to play the 'real victim'. After the formal dance debacle, Dex's frustration is completed by April meanly refusing to talk to him at all. Heath is surprised to be asked to escort her home, refuses to 'take advantage' in the car, but accepts when she insists he should spend the night in bed with her, sneaking out unnoticed in the morning. Xavier drops by at the Walker home, trying to ease things, but the police arrives to arrest Sid for assault. Draryl is surprised to hear about Stu's violent streak, but knows father Henderson is abusive. Casey's decision to come along to the city surprises and delights the Buckton's, not Brax. Heath bitterly feels abandoned, but a grim surprise arrives in the person of surviving ex-con Pirovic brother Jake.
