Molly learns from Dex that there’s new evidence in Alexis’ case, and then she gets a text about it.

Portia confesses to Curtis that she changed Heather’s test results. Curtis assures her that no one else should find out (even though Ava knows). Later, Brad tells a tense Portia that he found out that Heather’s lab results had been altered, and he knows Portia used the lab’s computers that same day. He just wants her to know how hard he’s working, so she can vouch for him in the future, since he’s there on a trial basis. Portia tells him that she’s impressed with his work and suggests he give the report about the lab results to the police and the lawyers, without adding his own opinion about them. She promises to ask Terry to make him a full-time worker. He gives her the test results, reminding her that he has the original digital copy. She angrily tears them up after he leaves.

Chase calls Ric and Elizabeth into the PCPD to see if the gun they received matches the one Alexis had, but Ric isn’t sure. Elizabeth prods him into admitting it might be. Curtis gives Ric a hard time for representing Heather. Ric doesn’t think Heather is a threat to Curtis’ family because it was the metallosis due to the cobalt that made her crazy. He hopes she gets released.

Dante confides to Anna that he was tempted to tell Sonny about the gun before he could confess because he didn’t want to have to explain to Rocco about why his grandfather was going to jail (especially with everything that’s going on with Lulu). She knows he loves Lulu.  He lets her know that he would give his life for her.

The charges against Alexis are dropped, since her gun doesn’t match – there is insufficient evidence. Alexis knows what Sonny did for her, and he admits that he’ll do what he can for the people he loves. Molly storms out, telling Michael that she still can’t be around Kristina. She blames her for everything that’s happened.
