## Storylines

In February 2011, Rudy Trujillo told Jason that Johnny Zacchara had been the one to plant the bomb in the limo explosion that hurt Sam.

In July, Jason assigns Spinelli (in his Jackal P.I. persona) to keep an eye on Luzetta’s Bakery to keep Spinelli distracted. Jason says there’s another crime family who are even more dangerous than the Zaccharas in town called the Trujillos. Jason suspects the bakery is being used as a front.

Later Spinelli sees Johnny with a mysterious package leaving the bakery and suspects him of working with the Trujillos.

In August, Jason tells Sonny that the agreement with the Trujillos is holding. Sonny expects Old Man Trujillo to double cross them with Anthony. Jason says the man just wants to be left alone. Sonny thinks Trujillo wants Sonny and Anthony to attack each other and then he will move in.

Sonny tells Jason to make sure that Anthony isn’t working with Old Man Trujillo and that Jason will stop any shipments that are landing. Sonny doesn’t want to use the warehouse because he is worried Anthony will sabotage it.

Later Sonny accuses Johnny of running a drug operation. Johnny refuses to answer. Sonny infers that by denying any involvement with the Trujillos drug ring, that means Johnny is saying that Anthony is behind the whole operation. Sonny will have to deal with Anthony.

In September, Lucky tells Dante that Detective Sly Thomas got some info on Joey Bruzetta. He was just released from prison. Turns out he was a cellmate with one of the Trujillos.

In September, Johnny meets Joey’s partner J.T. in an alley at Pier 14. J.T. was expecting Joey to show up. As Johnny just killed Joey he says Joey will likely be late. J.T. doesn’t want any part of what went on between Johnny and Joey. Johnny tells J.T. that he works for Johnny now and will do what Johnny says or he will die.

Johnny wants the details about the other men from Pentonville (Joey and Darryl) who were involved in the bakery scheme. J.T. is worried that Anthony will kill him if he talks but he admits that Anthony is behind the whole plan. Johnny also wants to know the setup. J.T. explains that they are hiding drugs in the flour at Luzetta’s Bakery. Specifically the bags of flour with stars where the apostrophes should be in the word “Luzetta’s”.

There is also a boat with uncut drugs in the harbor they can't get to and a retread at the old packaging house on Pier 14. Rudy Trujillo is the contact. Johnny wants J.T. to call Rudy and arrange a meeting.

Before Rudy arrives, Johnny gives J.T. a gun for protection. Johnny calls Rudy’s name and forces J.T. to shoot Rudy. Rudy shoots back and hits J.T. in the abdomen. Johnny tells a dying J.T. that he lied when he told J.T. that everything would be okay.

Later Lucky tells Mac that J.T. and Rudy’s bodies were found at the packaging plant on Pier 14. Lucky and Mac both think it is a little too convenient and was likely a setup. Johnny goes to Anthony and tells him he cleaned up his mess. Joey, J.T., and Rudy are dead. He made it appear that someone wanted to silence J.T. and Rudy before they started talking. He planned to frame Sonny by putting drugs from the boat in the harbor into the Corinthos-Morgan coffee warehouse.
