• Benji wakes up and calls Mentos. They discuss business, with Mentos mentioning that he was laying low for past few days. He reports that Ray has ordered 80 magazines from them and that he had also spoken to Winter.

• Jon Joyce calls Benji, requesting a meeting for advice. They meet at Seaside Tower, where Benji learns that Manor's leaders - SK and STE - left the gang, leaving Jon and James in charge. Benji begins questioning whether leadership is truly what Jon wants, and explains his own perspective on what happened with Hades. Benji says that Hades began to feel like a job for everyone, and despite being a successful gang, it felt soulless - an existence without direction, where everyone was part of the problem. Benji adds that it seemed people acted differently around him and kept their personal lives compartmentalized. Jon replies that, in contrast, being part of Seaside felt like a privilege, not a job. Benji emphasizes that although he had people's loyalty, he grew to hate what Hades had become. He advises Jon to focus on doing what he truly wants, rather than acting out of duty to others, and stresses that Jon should prioritize his own happiness above all.

• After a call with Yuno, Benji meets him at Liquid Library, where it turns out Yuno is trying to set up a date with Alice. Benji and Mentos then drive to Manor block hoping for more gossip, but when no one approaches their car, they leave to pick up Dora. They focus on small tasks to resupply - ordering ammo and making lockpicks - before Benji realizes he needs a new engine for his car.

• Job time with Yuno, is filled with mutual trolling, stemming from Yuno poking fun at Benji for “apparently leaving people behind on jobs.” They successfully hit a Flecca bank, with no cops showing up due to being occupied with a scavenger hunt. This leads them to attempt Paleto, using the same hostage who calls himself Crashout. Finding Paleto already robbed, they decide on a 24/7 store instead. Again, no police arrive, so Yuno and Benji keep running away from each other and the store. On the way back to the city, Benji shoots Crashout, so they drive to the hospital before deciding to rob a jewelry store. This time, cops arrive quickly and grow aggressive upon seeing no hostage inside. Luckily, Benji’s driving saves them and they lose the chase without much trouble.

• The following bank truck job is equally chaotic. When Dora has to leave to treat a broken leg, Mentos begins robbing the truck without a gun, prompting Yuno to call the police and report the robbery. Benji and Yuno escape on a bike, passing multiple cops rushing to the scene. Realizing they should at least try to save Mentos, Benji insists on using a boat, leading them to search several locations for boat keys while Mentos tries to evade multiple PD units and Air-1. Finally, Dora contacts Benji, who yells at him to pick up Mentos. But by the time Benji reaches Mentos’ last known location at the Billabong, he discovers both Mentos and Dora have been arrested.

- Benji gets picked up by Gabby and they go to meet up with Dora and Mentos at prison. Mentos tells him that he broke handcuffs 17 times, and that he'd escape if they had just come to get him with a car. Benji explains that he was trying to get Yuno caught and that he will not get arrested without him. Emmy and Tony join them at prison and the conversation moves to the topic of Winter. Benji voices his frustrations about Winter avoiding telling him the truth about what she wants and also about her deciding to do the same things with the same people. He still considers her a sister but is clearly frustrated, while Emmy tries to see a possibility of reconciliation in the future. Out of spite, Benji tells them that he hopes that Winter's group falls apart and that she admits he has been right about his worries concerning her current actions. The group talking doesn't seem to understand Benji's concerns about Winter prioritizing her romantic relationship, which frustrates him even further, and he mentions thatthis has been a pattern in her behavior for years now.

A brief DD appearance for PD meeting!

• Benji wakes up again after the storm and meets up with Gabby. Benji helps Gabby by giving her money towards buying the car she wants, and then they start talking about Winter situation. It seems like she and Emmy talked, and Emmy still wants to convince Benji to understand Winter's side, which pisses him off all over again. However when he tries to call Emmy, it seems she has already gone to sleep. He explains himself again - he cares about his family, which is why he wants something better for them rather than doing the same thing all over again with the same people. He explains his hurt when it comes to Winter, who was one of the first people he talked about disbanding Hades, and that he wanted her to do more than this, but instead she lied, avoided him, and then insulted him by telling him she doesn't believe in his vision. He says he believes she needs to learn a lesson about repeating the same mistakes every time, and he needs to do this for himself - or else he'll repeat the same mistakes he made while in Hades.

• Benji calls Winter to meet up, mentioning that she’ll probably find out through Emmy anyway. He asks if she even knows why he is upset with her, and she says it is because she hasn’t been truthful. Benji asks whether she isn’t worried that she is repeating the same pattern as before—doing things just for her boyfriend. They begin discussing her past relationship and how it affected her connection with Benji and his gangs. Benji explains that he understands Winter makes her own choices, but that she has also made many poor decisions because of her romantic partners. He tells her that it bothers him that she is doing the same thing with the same people, and that he now needs to make some difficult choices to avoid repeating the same mistakes he made with Hades.

• Winter explains her side: despite Benji thinking highly of her time leading Sirens, she still feels embarrassed about how many people depended on her, only for her to end it. She says there is still a lot for her to learn and that she simply doesn’t believe she is the right person for Benji’s vision. Benji tells her that he also holds many regrets, especially about his own leadership of Hades, but he realizes that growth doesn’t happen when you only surround yourself with comfort. He apologizes for letting her down, saying all he ever wanted was to give people in Hades - like her - "a Seaside" to remember. He ends the conversation wishing her happiness, and hoping she can live her life without worrying about his feelings toward her.
