Training with Antonio was a great way to let off some steam and to get her head clear. They were, yet again, taking up the ring, but this time, instead of fighting, Antonio was holding up some cushions in his hands and telling Teresa when to punch right or left, when to kick and when to hit with her knee.

At the moment they were working on gang related gun sales. Jay was undercover on the gang selling the guns and Kevin was undercover on a gang that wanted to buy some guns. Teresa was standing on the lines, sometimes she'd go to the bars where Jay was meeting with his gang so that he'd have back up, and sometimes she didn't need to be around, so she had more free time to train.

"Gabby told me you're a great cook," Antonio says while Teresa his punching.

"Aw, man..." Teresa knows exactly what Antonio was talking about.

She had finally kept her word and, on a day-off went to firehouse 51 and cooked for them some breakfast and lunch and leaving in the middle of the afternoon just before they got a call and everyone had to head out.

"What? Afraid that we're gonna ask you to start bringing some homemade food to the district if we knew how good of a cook you were?"

"There's no way in hell I'm playing housewife and cooking and taking food on a lunch box for a bunch of grown ass adults."

"Can you and Will have me over for dinner, then?" Antonio asks.

"Nope."

"Can you come to my place and cook some?" Antonio suggests with raised brows.

"Yeah, sure, let me just check my calendar and see the days I have free to play my role of a chef— oh, that's right, I don't play that part." Teresa jokes.

"One day, you'll need my help and I'm going to remind you of this very moment."

Teresa chuckles and then keeps training.

"Hey, listen," Teresa started as they got off the ring. "I was joking before, you know? If you want to come and have dinner with me and Will... I mean, it's Will's place, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind, and even if he did I still have my place at South Side, which is crappy but it's still a house with a roof. So... If you do want to come over for dinner, just say when."

Antonio, noticing how serious and honest Teresa was being smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you for the invitation. We'll definitely set up a day."

"Okay, but don't forget it. It took me weeks to finally take Will to have some dinner at South Side with my brothers."

"Don't worry. I will tell you a day and even if you have no food, I'll be there, at that day, with a wine bottle."

Teresa couldn't help but smile. She really needed to set up the dinner with her brothers and Will, but going to South Side at the time was risky. So, at least set a date to have Antonio over for dinner and have him over, was a must that she really needed.

She needed to be around Antonio more often, to be reminded of how to do things the right way. At the moment, working every day with Jay and Antonio was working wonders on her messed up mind and more and more made her realize who she wanted to be like and how to always get justice the right way.

Jay and Kevin were both undercover on their respective gangs and were meeting at a bar to negotiate an exchange. Things started to get heated in the back room where they were talking around a pool table, making everyone stay on alert and then one of the guys from Jay's gang pulled out a rifle.

Antonio, who was at the bar with Adam, was ready to go in, but since no one had said the safe word, Voight told him to stand down and let Jay and Kevin handle it.
