Lang picks up Luciano and they drive to the Silos to drop off some product. They head up to the Dam and call Clark and Ilya to chat. Ilya and Clark arrive, Lang makes Ilya recap the story from before storm. The hostage they took for a 24/7 was being too mouthy, Cuddles apologized for the aggression, Ilya threatened the hostage and Cuddles made him back down. Ilya is upset that they looked soft, but he wanted clarification and authority to do whatever fits best. Apparently the hostage was a friend of Cuddles, Lang and Luciano agree that he should have shot the hostage. Lang and Luciano sidebar, considering what punishment to give out. They ask Ilya what he wants to do, Ilya suggests speaking to Teddy to see if he's planning on buying in Cuddles, and then forcing her to kill her friend. They like the idea, but they don't want Teddy's approval. They tell Ilya to make Cuddles do it now, as a loyalty test.
Arush arrives at the Dam and Luciano gives him context. Arush agrees with killing Cuddles' friend, but argues with Lang about the crew being soft. They want Arush to suggest punishments for Cuddles, and question her loyalty to Cypress, or to him. They call back to confirm the task was done, and head over to Clark's house to meet for a new job. Arush gets a call from Nino to warn him about an upcoming sting that the police are planning. Lang questions if Nino is using it as a political play, but Arush believes Nino since he's his mentor. Arush is willing to go down for the crew, but Lang believes he just wants to go on vacation. They've done all the cleaning they can, so at this point they have to wait and see.
They return to Ilya and Clark who built a plan for them to take the HQ Ammunation heist. Ilya tells them that they will hack everyone off the WIFI while 4 of them wait for the crate to be delivered. Lang doesn't think the plan is going to work, but he commits. Luciano has to head out, so they recruit Zeek and Bubbles to join them for the job. Lang and Arush leave to get prepared, Larry calls Arush to warn him about the PD putting a bounty on him. Arush tells Lang that the Skorpion mags don't fit, so they haven't been able to use them. Zeek meets Lang by the Tuner shop and gets yelled at for not knowing the plan.
Sakura calls to see who Cypress is voting for, Lang tells her to choose a preference between Eve or Nino. Sakura checks to see if she should be working on new associates, but Lang wants to worry about trimming the fat first. John Gray keeps hanging around her sister's house, Lang tells her to kill him again, if she wants. Arush doesn't believe in Clark and Ilya's plan either, but they're down to try it. They call Zeek and tell him to bring two scuba tanks, and head up to Grapeseed to set up near the crate. They park the truck with the lights on to look like they're inside, and then Lang and Arush find two bushes to hide in. Lang calls Clark to yell at him, but they already hacked 600 butcoin from someone.
