Jay brought Sonya to the lighthouse to kill, but failed to save Edgar. Lang presses Jay for killing Edgar, Jay threatens Lang for disrespecting Edgar.

Ilya says that he understands if Lang can't take him, or see more worth in him. Lang asks for a day to digest everything.

Lang drives back to Cypress and calls for a meeting in the Refinery. Lang tells everyone about the Locco revenge party, and that he spoke to Ilya. Lang doesn't think he's bringing Ilya to the North because the Dons are going to use it to bring back treasonists. Sofia asks if they are working on gathering more FIB documents, but Lang has them all stashed already, he would rather focus on money.

Lang leaves, Larry calls him back because something important happened, but Sofia wants to talk to Lang first.

Larry continues to say that the Faceless kidnapped a judge (Baeric) and confirmed that Larry had a statement discussing the Faceless. The Marshall's contacted Larry in hopes to keep him safe, but Larry laughed it off in hopes to deny the truth of it. Larry tested what the Marshall knew, and they knew Larry AND Lang were marked.

Lang argues that Clark is learning to be more stupid from the South Dons. Clark asks Lang if he knew Ilya was going to speak to the Dons, but Lang lies and says that it was entirely up to work on. They argue for a long time about what Lang wanted and what he thinks is best for Clark, eventually leading to telling Clark that he's planning on breaking Cassie out of prison.
