 Lacey asks Dylan out

Thinking Dylan did something to make Lacey cry, Sonny confronts his brother.

Dylan is clueless, but Sonny thinks it would be best if he stays away from Lacey, explaining she still blames herself for Theo's death.

Later, Dylan is on the phone to his parents when there's a knock at the door. It's Lacey, who's all dressed up and wants to take him out on a date.

Will he accept her invitation?
