At Greystone Manor, Sonny entered the parlor from the veranda as fireworks lit up the night sky. He set a framed photograph of him with Olivia on the credenza, nestled in between other family snapshots, and looked up when he heard a noise. Olivia entered the room and smiled as she softly greeted him. Sonny wondered what she was doing there, so she confessed that she had been thinking about their previous Fourth of July when they had watched the fireworks as they had reminisced about Jones Beach and a long-ago Bruce Springsteen concert. Olivia wondered if they could recapture what they had once had, so Sonny confessed that he would want more.
"Penny for your thoughts," Delia suddenly said. Sonny blinked away the fantasy as Delia asked for a drink. Sonny explained that he had removed all the alcohol from the premises because of Ava. Delia quickly became distracted when she noticed a photograph on the credenza of Sonny with her husband, Roger. Sonny explained that the man in the picture was his father, Mike, not Delia's husband. Delia was shocked because Mike was a "dead ringer" for her husband.
Sonny changed the subject by asking if there was anything that he could do for Delia. Delia sensed that Sonny was troubled, so she suggested that they talk because she was a good listener. Sonny declined, prompting Delia to realize that he had been thinking about a woman. She asked him who the woman was just as Ava entered the room. Sonny seized the opportunity to leave the room on the pretext of giving Ava and Delia some time alone to catch up.
After Sonny left, Ava revealed that she had thoroughly searched Sonny's bedroom but hadn't located the damaging audio recording. Delia was confident that the audio recording wasn't in Sonny's home because she and Ava had searched it from top to bottom. Ava agreed, so she suggested that they expand the search by having Delia check Sonny's office. Delia balked at the idea of breaking into Sonny's office, but Ava explained that she had a key that would make it easy. Delia reminded Ava that it would be impossible because Sonny knew that Delia and Ava were in cahoots, so Sonny would send a guard to follow Delia if Delia left the house.
Ava reluctantly agreed, so she tried to think of another plan that would allow Delia to leave without suspicion. Delia took matters into her own hands by tossing the water from her glass into Ava's face. "How dare you?" Delia angrily demanded as Sonny appeared in the doorway. Ava sputtered with outrage but played along with her mother. The two women argued as Delia accused Ava of being ungrateful, while Ava expressed resentment over Delia's decision to give Ava up for adoption.
Sonny ignored the women as he made his way to his desk. Eventually, Delia announced that she intended to move out. After Delia stomped up the stairs to her room, Sonny smiled.
A short time later, Delia returned with a suitcase in tow. Ava pretended to be apologetic as she followed Delia to the front door, begging her mother to stay. Ava quickly handed her mother the key to Sonny's office as Delia explained that she intended to spend some time getting to know her granddaughter, Kiki, and she left. "Alone at least," Sonny said with smug satisfaction as he joined Ava in the foyer. Sonny confessed that he couldn't wait to see what Ava had planned next.
Later, Delia, dressed entirely in black, took the elevator to the Corinthos Coffee offices. With a flashlight and key in hand, she made her way to Sonny's office door. Within seconds, Delia was inside Sonny's inner sanctum.
At the hospital, Olivia smiled as Lulu slowly woke up. Lulu looked around the hospital room then realized that Dante wasn't there. Olivia assured Lulu that Dante was fine and explained that he had been called to work. Olivia told Lulu about the encounter with Patrick and Silas, but clarified that she didn't know the details. Lulu sensed that Olivia wasn't telling her something because Olivia seemed upset, so Olivia admitted that she had been thinking abut Sonny and the previous Fourth of July when Sonny had first kissed Olivia.
Olivia confessed that the kiss had been the beginning of something wonderful until Sonny had slept with Ava. Olivia was upset because she didn't want her problems with Sonny to affect Dante's relationship with his father, so Lulu explained that Dante was disappointed because Sonny always seemed to chase the wrong thing. However, Lulu reminded Olivia that Dante was a good man, so Lulu was confident that everything would work out. Olivia agreed then checked her phone when she received a text message from work.
Olivia decided to deal with work the following day, but Lulu insisted that it wasn't necessary for Olivia to stay because Lulu was fine. Olivia seemed reluctant to leave, but Lulu was adamant.
At Silas' apartment, Nina rested her head on Silas' shoulder as they watched the fireworks through the window. After the fireworks ended, Nina confessed that the light show had been beautiful, but she admitted that it couldn't compare to the fireworks in the Hamptons on the beach. Silas smiled politely then stood up to check his phone, but there weren't any missed calls or text messages. Nina tried to downplay Rafe's situation, but Silas was filled with regret for not being there for his nephew or recognizing that Rafe had been in trouble. Nina insisted that it wasn't Silas' fault, but Silas disagreed.
Silas suggested that it had been for the best that he hadn't raised a child because he clearly would have made a lousy father, but Nina disagreed and insisted that he would have made a wonderful father. Moments later, someone knocked on the door. Nina carefully hid her annoyance as Silas greeted Kiki, who had stopped by to find out if there had been any news about Rafe. Kiki was shocked when Silas told her that Rafe had assaulted Nina and then fled.
In the park, T.J. left a message for Molly, asking her to return his call because he and Alexis had been waiting for her. T.J. admitted that he was worried, so Alexis asked him to let Molly know that Alexis was worried as well. After T.J. relayed the message and ended the call, Alexis confessed that she had eaten all the fries. T.J. realized that Alexis' nervousness stemmed from fear that Molly was in trouble. Alexis quickly denied it but suggested that she and T.J. go to Silas' apartment to check on Molly.
Meanwhile, Patrick called Sam for an update. He left her a message asking her to call him with news about Rafe as soon as she was able. "What's this about Rafe?" Alexis asked as she and T.J. walked up. Patrick carefully asked Alexis what she knew, so Alexis admitted that T.J. had told her about Rafe's drug use. Patrick was stunned, but admitted that it explained a lot. Alexis asked what Patrick was talking about, so he filled her in about Sam's investigation and their suspicions that Rafe had caused the accident that had led to Patrick's son's death. Alexis became alarmed when Patrick revealed that Rafe had decided to go on the run and that Molly had been in the car with the troubled teenager.
In the car, Molly was shocked when Rafe denied being high on drugs at the time of the accident then confessed that he had been forced to drive Patrick off the road. Molly demanded to know who had put Rafe up to such a horrible thing, but she suddenly screamed when she glanced out the window and realized that they were speeding toward a roadblock. Molly tried to warn Rafe, but it was too late. He slammed on the brakes as the car careened through the roadblock and crashed.
Moments later, Rafe slowly opened his eyes and saw that Molly was unconscious and bleeding in the passenger seat. He stumbled out of the car to get help, but he only made it a few steps before collapsing. A short time later, Sam and Dante arrived on the scene. Sam raced to Molly's side as Dante checked on Rafe. Sam and Dante realized that both teens were in trouble, so Dante called an ambulance.
Later, Rafe and Molly were loaded into ambulances. Dante suggested that Sam ride with her sister, while he followed in his car. After Dante left, Sam started to call her mother but took an incoming call from Silas instead. Sam quickly explained that Rafe and Molly had been in a car accident and that they would soon be taken to the hospital. Silas offered to call Alexis then promised to meet Sam at the hospital.
In the apartment, Nina hid her irritation as Silas ended his phone call to Sam with a declaration of love. Moments later, Nina carefully feigned concern when Silas explained that Rafe had been involved in a car accident and was being taken to the hospital. Silas surprised Nina by asking Kiki to stay with Nina because he needed to get to the hospital but couldn't leave Nina alone. Nina assured Silas that it wasn't necessary for anyone to stay with her for a few short hours but Silas disagreed.
Kiki assured her father that she would be happy to stay with Nina, so Silas thanked Kiki, and he left. After Silas left, Kiki paced nervously as she worried about her cousin. Nina recalled confessing to Rosalie that she resented Silas' daughter because Kiki had lived while Nina's baby had died. Nina returned to the present and coldly asked if Kiki was afraid that Rafe and Molly had been killed in the crash.
Kiki was startled by Nina's insensitivity, so Nina quickly apologized and explained that her frank manner in dealing with difficult situations stemmed from being a doctor's wife. Nina quickly shifted gears to invite Kiki to go to the hospital to check on her cousin, but Kiki refused to leave because Kiki had promised Silas that she would stay with Nina. Nina promised that she would be fine, so Kiki was curious if Nina wanted to get rid of Kiki. Nina nervously asked why Kiki would think that. "Because of my mother," Kiki answered.
Kiki conceded that it couldn't be easy for Nina to see Silas' child with another woman. Nina assured Kiki that she didn't blame Kiki for Silas and Ava's affair. Nina reached for Kiki's hand as Nina insisted that it would be like blaming Nina for the terrible things that Madeline had done. Kiki appeared to relax when Nina added that she wanted a chance to get to know Kiki.
At the hospital, Monica approached Tracy to ask what had happened to Alice. Tracy claimed that she didn't know because she had found Alice unconscious at ELQ. However, Tracy speculated that Alice had suffered a heart attack. Monica was determined to get to the bottom of things, so she asked a nurse where Alice was. "Trauma Unit One," the nurse answered.
Moments later, Monica and Tracy entered the trauma unit. Michael and Morgan stood at Alice's bedside while Alice remained unconscious and hooked to a ventilator. Monica was touched that Michael was there, so Michael admitted that he considered Alice a part of their family. "The best part," Monica agreed. Monica was curious why Morgan was there, so Michael revealed that Morgan had given Alice CPR before the paramedics had arrived.
Monica praised Morgan because the CPR had likely saved Alice's life. Tracy stood in the background with a mixture of guilt and concern clouding her eyes as Monica asked for an update. Michael and Morgan explained that the doctors had left to attend to another emergency without providing them with any information about Alice's condition. Monica was infuriated, so she decided to take over Alice's care. Michael and Morgan offered Alice words of encouragement then followed Tracy out while Monica went to work.
In the waiting area, Michael called out to Tracy, but Tracy insisted that she had to call Ned to let him know what was going on with Alice. Michael admitted that he didn't trust Tracy, so he wanted to know why Alice had called to talk to him about Tracy. Tracy was spared from having to answer the question when she saw Molly arrive by ambulance. "Isn't that your cousin?" Tracy asked.
Michael and Morgan immediately rushed to Molly's side to find out what had happened to her. They were stunned when Sam explained that Molly had been involved in a car accident and that Rafe had been driving. Moments later, paramedics wheeled in a dazed Rafe, followed by Alexis and T.J. Sam assured Rafe that everything would be okay, but Alexis immediately confronted Rafe about the accident.
Sam and Dante explained to Alexis that it wasn't the time, so Alexis backed down. After Rafe and Molly were taken to separate trauma units, Dante approached his brothers to find out why they were at the hospital. Michael revealed that Alice had collapsed, so Dante asked Michael and Morgan to keep him updated on Alice's condition. Michael and Morgan decided to check on Alice when they noticed Tracy slip into Alice's trauma unit.
In the trauma unit, Michael and Morgan asked Monica for an update. Monica appeared shaken as she tried to find the right words. Michael asked Monica for assurance that Alice would be okay, but Monica remained silent and grim-faced.
Meanwhile, Patrick waited until Rafe had been left alone before approaching Rafe's gurney. Rafe appeared weak as Patrick admitted that he probably shouldn't enjoy seeing Rafe's pain, but Patrick found it ironic that Rafe had been injured in a car accident after killing Gabriel in one. Patrick angrily blamed Rafe for Gabriel's death, so Rafe apologized. Patrick's temper flared as he shouted for Rafe to "shut up." Dante appeared in the doorway and immediately began to pull Patrick away from Rafe. Patrick broke free of Dante's grip as he angrily reminded Dante that Rafe had killed Patrick's son. However, Silas intervened before Patrick could return to Rafe's side.
Dante started to drag Patrick away while Silas insisted that Rafe rest and save his strength. Instead, Rafe lifted his head enough to ask Patrick to stay because Rafe needed to tell him something about the accident.
In a nearby trauma unit, Sam offered her mother a comforting hug and words of encouragement as T.J. sat at Molly's bedside. T.J. asked Molly to wake up because he wanted to tell her again how much he loved her.
