Robin's decisions as acting chief of staff annoy Patrick. Lucky convinces Siobhan to drop the malpractice suit against Elizabeth. Brenda's testimony in the custody suit makes things all the worse for Carly, and it looks as if Judge Lloyd Cole will rule against her; but Sonny learns that Grace Yang, the court-appointed mediator, cashed a check from Jax, a fact that Sonny can use to turn things around.
