Georgie, who happens to be walking by at the same time, runs to Diego's defense. Manny then rushes forward with a 2-by-4 and scares the thugs away. Diego yells at Manny, but Manny explains that he is now a changed man, and Georgie confirms that he did, indeed, have brain disease for which he was operated. Manny leaves and later meets up with the two attackers who he pays for their services and apologizes for their beatings, saying, "I had to make it look realistic."
Back at the docks, Alcazar rushes up to Diego, saying that he heard news of the attack on his son, saying, "you need protection." Diego tries to say that it was just a mugging, but Alcazar says he knows its was connected to Diego ratting out someone in jail. Diego continues to refuse his dad's protection, saying he can handle it himself and that Alcazar should go back to Skye and their new baby.
Alcazar and Manny later meet up at the docks where Lorenzo confronts him about the beating says he is suspicious of Manny’s good timing. Manny says it was just a coincidence and that he and Lorenzo can trust each other since they both have dirt on each other.
Meanwhile, Georgie has left and gone to Kelly's, where she asks Lucky and Jesse to find out who the thugs were that attacked Diego. She explains to them that he ratted someone out in jail and now he could be a target. Lucky and Jesse see Diego bleeding at the mouth outside of Kelly's and they tell him that they won't involve Georgie if he would go down to the station and look at some mugshots. Meanwhile, Dillon comes into Kelly’s and sits down with Georgie and tells her about his day. He makes a comment to Georgie about how he saw Diego talking outside to the police and that it hasn’t taken Diego very long to get into trouble again since getting out of prison. He makes Georgie promise that she won’t talk to Diego, while she stares longingly out the window at Diego. Moments later, Georgie lean forward and gives Dillon a passionate kiss as Diego is walking back in the door.

Sam reveals to Alexis that Ric had asked Jason to kill Manny because he feared that the bald-headed villain would try to harm their daughter. After attempting to give Alexis a brief lesson on law and again insulting her mothering abilities, Sam leaves. Alexis and Ric agree that something drastic must be done about Manny. Later Alexis shows up at Sam’s apartment in an attempt to make a truce, but Sam again attacks Lexi’s mothering and character. Sam alludes to Alexis being her mother by saying that her mother was brilliant lawyer but also a selfish bitch.
