Sonny stops by, looking for Kate. However, Lulu doesn’t know where she is and wouldn’t tell if she did. Sonny wonders why Lulu’s so mad at him. She says he’s not good for Dante. Sonny tells her not to blame him for Dante’s shooting. He tells Lulu that he’s happy for her and Dante. He hopes they have a good life together. Lulu wonders if he thinks once she’s Dante’s wife, she’ll make sure that Dante doesn’t get in Sonny’s way.
Sonny tells Lulu that if she’s worried about being a cop’s wife, she should ask Dante to take a desk job. Lulu doesn’t feel she can ask Dante to be less than who he is. Sonny feels it would keep Dante out of his crosshairs. Lulu asks why Sonny’s never quit the business for his kids. Sonny says it isn’t that easy to get out. Lulu doesn’t want to ask Dante to change; pointing out that her mother asked her father and things didn’t turn out. Sonny points out Dante isn’t Luke and that Lulu isn’t her mother. He sees a future between Dante and Lulu.
Lulu’s not sure of a future, if Dante’s not coming home. She doesn’t think she wants that. Sonny tells her if that’s how she feels, she needs to do what’s right; break it off with Dante and not marry him. Sonny says Lulu shouldn’t live in fear. Risk is part of Dante’s job, but he knows she loves Dante. However, she needs to be honest, because the worst thing to do is tell him she can live with his life and then realize later she can’t.
Lulu realizes they aren’t talking about Dante anymore. Sonny admits it reminds him of Brenda; they were living in a bubble, but she couldn’t deal with his life. Sonny doesn’t want Dante hurt and says she’d knowingly break Dante’s heart, if she goes ahead with the engagement. As Sonny’s leaving, he asks again about Kate.

Delores stops by the hospital to ask Dante more questions. Talk turns to drugs and dirty cops. She makes a comment about Lucky and the drug case. Dante swears Lucky is a good cop going through a difficult time. Delores asks him whether he considers Sonny a good man. Dante wonders what her point. Delores wonders if Dante is hoping the case is never solved. He asks why wouldn’t he want to know who shot him. She tells him that whoever shot him could be one of Sonny’s men, or Sonny himself. She asks how his fiancé would feel about him not coming home and he asks how she knows. She says she saw the ring when she picked up Lulu. She makes the connection that Lucky will be his brother in law. That’s why he’s so defensive of Lucky. Dante says he’s told her everything he knows.
