Later, Gina meets up with Bell while she is jogging and keeps her up to speed. Gina meets up with Richie and she claims that she is upset with him because they are two blocks from her work and if one of Joey's boys saw them then she would be in trouble.

Angela expresses her emotions towards Richie at his birthday party when she mentions that Richie is her only son now that Rafiq is dead. Wheatley makes some creepy comments towards Gina, which sets Richie and everyone at that party off. Later, Gina plays up wanting to see the wine cellar and manages to get the bug planted. (OC: "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of")

Wheatley approaches Gina at her home and admits that he had her followed and is looking into her history.
