2/26/2025 Kick Recap - "Maybe It's Destiny"
Lang grows frustrated with the lack of money and magazines in the Forge storage. He runs into Hank outside Blarney's, who's pushing weed. Lang tries to sell some weed, Arush calls to report that he's killed some cops, Lang asks for 1000 deagle bullets. Liya comes by to convince Lang that everything will be okay, he is just having a britney moment. Lang takes Hank to show him how to roof run, he takes Clark's number and calls him for information, but Clark isn't around today. CJ tells Lang about a cash exchange heist, so they leave to do that instead. Bubbles is late, so Hank comes for the job. Luciano calls to meet, Lang offers to chat later.
Hank gets a hostage (CJ's therapist) who is mute. Lang banters with the hostage about how he's able to order at drive-thru's. Once they successfully hack the back, they grab the loot and the cops let them go without chase. Lang remembers that Arush just shot cops in Cypress, so they might be busy. Lang gets anonymously pinged to a van, where he finds a folder in the trunk from the Faceless. Inside the folder are pictures of the Rooster's Rest, and the shed door attached to the tunnels. Lang takes the folder and puts it in his office, heading back out to meet Arush for the ammo.
The North gets ready to hit a jewelry store/bank truck, Lang calls CJ to the Forge and gives her the Faceless folder, driving off without a word. Lang joins the crew who successfully hit the jewelry store, and then ping him to the bank truck. The guards are extremely scuffed, nobody can see them while they're being shot After figuring it out, Hydra pulls up to counter them while they're robbing it. Lang and Cypress hide on nearby roofs, shooting at anyone that approaches. Hydra leaves, Cypress decides to leave with half the loot so that they can secure most of it. They drop everything off at the Forge, and go back to grab Bubbles who went down. While they're there, they loot the rest of the bank truck.
Larry gets a call from Flippy apologizing for the conflict, they were busy doing an S boost and some of his members thought it was a good idea to break off and counter the bank truck, but he reamed them out for it. Lang calls Luciano to meet, they head to the Vinewood Bowl. Luciano heard that CJ is being watched heavily regarding the jailbreak, including Cypress being covered in cameras. Lang tells Luciano they broke Cassie out of jail, and the heat in Cypress isn't helping. He tells Luciano about the Besties and his plans to snitch on them. Luciano warns Lang that they might even put a camera in CJ's car, Lang wants to investigate the Marshall's a bit more.
CJ calls to chat, Lang agrees to meet at the winery. Lang is too suspicious of the cars in the parking lot, so he drives CJ down to the coast and they chat under a bridge. CJ isn't necessarily concerned about the Faceless folder because there's nothing incriminating in it, nor are there actual photos of them at the Rest. Skipper calls to report that the Besties are slow rolling Cypress in a van, Lang and CJ drive back to the city. By the time they arrive, Larry tells everyone it's settled since they shot Zuck already. They have a short meeting in Blarney's where they discuss if they're at war with the Besties, and Lang reminds everyone to shoot cops on sight in Cypress. Lang heads to the Nest to keep an eye out, but Cassie calls to meet.
CJ arrives at the Nest telling Lang that Saab just told her that Cassie is marked by the Faceless. Lang is frustrated that he told her before him, so he calls Saab to threaten him about it. Lang and CJ spiral slightly about what this meeting could be about, they drive up to the quarry and begin their chat with Cassie. Cassie begins by telling them that she was pinged to the Faceless card anonymously, immediately after leaving CJ.
