[Episode 4.47, "My Brown Eyed Girl"]

Daphne visited Doug at the rehab unit where he’s now staying, where they spoke about his upcoming release from the hospital next week. To Doug’s surprise, Daphne told him that she’s decided to move back home, so she can help take care of him during his recovery. Doug was wary that his daughter was taking on so much responsibility, but Daphne was determined to reunite their shattered family.

Jonnie met with Ross and told the ADA he wants out of the undercover assignment once and for all. Ross reminded Jonnie of his obligation and of the risk to his life if his side of the plea bargain isn’t met. The threats chilled Jonnie, who realized Ross and the prosecution have more in common with the Nichols crime organization than they’d like to think. Sick of the whole thing, Jonnie prepared to meet with the Vaughans—the Nicholses’ rivals—tomorrow. 

After school, Daphne met up with Tyler, who was giving her a lift to the mall so she could find a job. Jason caught up with her in private, wanting to apologize both for Becca’s insults at school and for telling Tyler about Daphne’s opera date with Ian. Daphne wondered exactly what Jason is doing with someone like Becca, and Jason assured her they’re just teaming up with schoolwork. Changing the subject from Becca, Jason told Daphne that a friend of his (Julie) had told him about a new store opening up that was looking to hire. He invited Daphne to join them tomorrow afternoon, and Daphne agreed. Later, Jason confirmed that this was okay with Julie, who at first seemed to fear that Jason had asked Becca along. She asked Jason to visit her dad’s restaurant for dinner.

At Cucina di Fiore, Julie greeted Jason and the two enjoyed each other’s company. They spoke about Julie’s interest in finding a new job, but that she’s been keeping her job hunt a secret from her father, whom she doesn’t want to hurt. Their pleasant banter was interrupted by Tony, Julie’s brother, who teased and joked at his sister’s expense—and revealed he’d been eavesdropping. Julie blew up at Tony and spoke to him alone. Tony insinuated that she had feelings for Jason, but Julie claimed they were just friends. She said that the lack of privacy from her family was why she was looking for a new job outside the restaurant. Tony warned Julie that she was risking upsetting their father, but supported her decision to become more independent.

Ian had dinner with his sister Becca and stepmother Danielle. Becca needled Ian about Daphne, and informed him that she’d seen his so-called girlfriend making out with another guy at school. Danielle was shocked to learn that Daphne’s apparently just a high school student. Privately, Danielle continued to wonder exactly how much he knows about his girlfriend. When the sexual tension grew too heated, Ian reminded her that Becca was just outside. Danielle didn’t care that her daughter might hear them, but Ian did, and firmly pushed Danielle away. Annoyed by his rejection, Danielle spoke to Becca, asking her daughter to tell her all about Daphne White.
