He's not interested in settling down, committing, and being responsible, primarily because it only brings heartbreak.   That's why the only woman he's committed to is his sister, Willow. At least, that is, until Quinn walks in, still mourning her sister Mila and believing there was a lot more to Mila's death than the police had discovered.   The investigation leads Dean into the dirty background of Chicago's dance scene, putting both of them in a position where they may not escape alive. It's only when Quinn's life is on the line that Dean realizes that, risky or not, he doesn't want to live without her and her son.

It's Willow's future happiness on the line as well because Benjamin turns out to be everything she never knew she wanted.   All she has to do is make sure that he escapes his past alive.

He knows that it's time to go back to his hometown and solve Lydia's case once and for all, and he's going to need the help of an old high school friend, Whitney, to do it.   Just when he thinks he's making progress in the case, it suddenly becomes clear that everything he thought he knew about his past and the people in it couldn't have been more wrong, and if he doesn't act quickly enough, Whitney is going to pay the price.   Connor will have to face his demons—even the ones he didn't know he had—and it's only Whitney that can make it all worth it in the end, if he can just get to her in time.
