After the funeral Criss and JD went after Costa but he left before they caught up. As they drove to The Luxor Criss got a bad feeling in his gut that started to bug him. "What's wrong Criss?"JD asked. "I'm getting that bad feeling in my stomach". "The last time that happen mom had heart surgery" JD replied. "Pull over now!!"Criss yelled and JD did. Criss didn't wait for the car to stop to get out. He ran out and threw up. JD got out as Criss was on his hands and knees. "You all right?"JD asked. Criss looked up and saw Costa smoking. "I think we found Costa"Criss remarked getting up slowly. Costa just sat on the car with a cigarette and paper bag with booze in it. "Costa"a voice called out. Costa saw Criss and JD walking over. "I thought I was alone"he said. "Well if Criss didn't toss his cookies you would of" JD said. "How are you Costa?"Criss asked.

"A little better but I still miss Ava"he replied taking a drink. JD took the bottle and took a drink than spit it out. "God this is terrible this is like drinking lighter fluid"he replied as JD threw the stuff in the trash. "Costa we kind of figured out what you could do to honor Ava"Criss remarked. "What's that?"he asked putting the cigarette out. "Well Ava always gave CPR courses at the MGM why don't you take that over for her"JD suggested. "You can also teach the people at The Luxor too" Criss added. "Yea you can be the dummy Criss" and JD started to laugh as Costa smiled. "That's the Costa we love"JD said as he gave him a hug. When the guys got back to The Luxor Mrs. Borgot was there with Felix. "Christopher nice to meet you again". "Thanks and this is my brother Costa"Criss stated as he walked over. "You must be the man my daughter loved". "Yes I loved your daughter too she will be missed"Costa replied. "Why don't you guys go into my production office and talk"Criss offered and they walked over as Criss went into the bathroom again. "What's wrong with Criss?". "Stomach problems probably"JD replied.

"So Costa my daughter told me you're a volunteer EMT". "Yea Janice told me about The Red Cross chapter here so I volunteer to give CPR classes and when I met Ava she made everyone around here happy including me and my brothers. My mother told me when she met Ava that she saw either my brother Criss or me marrying her"Costa said. "The paramedics told me you were there when Ava passed away". "Yea I tried to keep her alive but I couldn't" as tears started to fall down his face. Ava's mother got up and went over to Costa. "I'm just happy that she wasn't alone when she died. Ava always could bring out the best in people and I'm glad you tried to help her. Costa if it's all right with you I think Ava would like you to have Angel her cat".

"That would be all right I could use the company" Costa stated. All of a sudden they saw EMTs coming in. "Excuse me" and Costa came out. Costa walked over to JD who was chewing his nails. "JD what's going on?" Costa inquired. "It's Criss I came in to see how he is and I saw Criss on the floor with blood on his lips and in the toilet it looks he puked it up". The EMT brought Criss out who was unconscious and with oxygen on him.
