Kayla and Fynn stop at a motel, on their way to Los Angeles to meet Steve and find Joey; he goes to get hamburgers… Kayla’s head is hurting.  Joey is still second-guessing the decision to stay at Jade’s aunt’s commune, as he looks at the ‘brand’ they put on the back of their hands.  Chase gets another visit from his dad; he’s not very receptive to his father’s eagerness to get him out.  Eduardo is concerned that Gabi and JJ are getting so close.  One of JJ’s friends, Rory(?) is brought in to the police station, caught with five kilos of cocaine on his lap – he says the people it belonged to just stuffed it on his lap and took off; he swears it’s not his, but won’t give the names of the people who stuck him with it.  JJ is given permission to interrogate him; he says he might be able to get him immunity.  He gets him to give up two names; then Roman gets made at JJ and tells him he didn’t have the right to offer an immunity deal.  

As Kayla and Fynn sit down to eat, she gets another headache; he wants to take her to a hospital, but she refuses.  He gives her a pain pill, but tells her it will knock her out.  What seems to be seconds later, Kayla lies sleeping, and hears a knock at the door; she gets up and opens it. It’s Steve… he tells her he has found Joey, and he is dead.  She starts crying; then wakes up.  Chase tells his dad that he believes there is something wrong with him, deep down inside, he believes he is rotten; Aiden offers to get him help, a psychiatrist.  Chase explodes and tells his father he doesn’t want help, just to leave him alone and not come back to visit anymore.  Steve tracks down Jade’s aunt and tries to persuade her to let him talk to Joey.  She claims Joey and Jade passed through a couple of days ago and then headed on; he smells kombucha (tea) and asks if he can have a cup.  She invites him into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Joey gets in a fight with the guy who was hitting on Jade when they first arrived at the commune.  Jade breaks up the fight; Joey says he’s out of there.  Jade follows him.  On the way through the commune, Steve finds them; they run and take off on the bike.  Gabbi and JJ make love; Rory shows up at his door and punches him.  Roman comes to tell Aiden that Chase got in a fight in the prison yard and has been stabbed; he is being taken to the hospital.  As Aiden passes through the square, he bumps into Eduardo but keeps going – Eduardo looks as if he knows him.  Then Eduardo gets a text from a “private caller”, asking about a Patrick Johansen and other men he murdered.  Rafe invites Hope out for a ‘casual’ dinner; Roman lets her know about the stabbing.  She goes to the hospital to console Aiden.
