## Summary

### Veronique

Veronique is in Kansas City with her mother, Cassandra, who suggested taking a holiday together in Barbados and suggested St. Lucia as an alternative, whereas she asked if Vee remembered that 'Sketchy Little Place'. They both laughed about it and Cassandra suggested heading back to carrying on the family tradition, suggesting it to be a reminder that her unborn grandchild learn it's options are limited. Vee then pointed out that Franklin's not planning a family getaway at that moment. Cassandra then asked her daughter if there was a contingency in case their first plan fails. As Vee, assures her mother the plan would work, Cassandra interrupts her, reminding her they must always prepare for the worst. She then further reminds her daughter that Franklin is facing off with the CIA, and even should he get his money back, it won't satisfy him, especially with his ambitions. Vee then asked if she needed to grade the men Cassandra was with and Cassandra suggested that she would be considered an expert on 'Fucked-up' men as she stated she came across men like Franklin. She then compared such men to jigsaw puzzles from garage sales, claiming there are always missing pieces. She then tells Vee how men like Franklin continue to take and take until their lives are hole without knowing the consequences. Vee demands her mother to stop talking, but as Cassandra attempts to get her point across, Vee then points out the car window revealing Robert McDonald who is being escorted by an orderly on the grounds of Glenway Meadows. As they are watching, the orderly asked if he needed any help, and the Colonel tells the orderly to 'Fuck off' as they continue.

### Franklin

Franklin is at the Pool Hall calling Vee, who is at a payphone informing him they found Teddy's father, but would need to move quickly. She then asked how fast Franklin would arrive to Kansas City and Franklin requested a day's time. He thanks her and hangs up. Kane, who is over there, asked if there was any good news to hear. Franklin stated there was none and Kane pointed out the house that Todd and the others shot up belonged to his woman who could have been inside with her child. He then makes it clear he is getting impatient. Franklin then tells Kane he has other matters that need his attention and would contact him should he learn anything. Kane then makes it clear the only thing that has his attention are Jerome and Louie and tells Franklin he ain't going nowhere until they figure out how to end this war they're in. Franklin then stated that if he knew another plan, he'd share it, and Kane suggested Franklin may know of a place aside from Louie's that they frequent, demanding him to think of something. Franklin then hears the television kick on and sees a dressage rider on a horse, giving Franklin an idea. Kane then asked what Franklin was thinking.

### Jerome

Over at Jerome and Louie's home, Buckley arrives and compliments their new pad. Louie then asked what news he brought and Buckley told them he received word from an old CI that Kane managed to escape while their hitters were killed in the process. That did not sit well with Louie as she demanded to know how he slipped by them. As Beau pours himself a glass of whiskey, he tells them that Franklin was there and helped Kane escape. Jerome then asked if Franklin actually shot his way out, and Beau stated it happened, complimenting the Saints bloodline as he took a shot of the whiskey. Louie then asked for confirmation and Buckley assures it was the word he received as he made a promise to find out where else Kane is taking cover at. Louie then ordered Beau to contact them every 2 hours in which he agreed to and finished his glass of whiskey. Jerome, noticing Beau's behavior, took a seat next to him, ordered him to look at him and asked if he was using again. Beau denies it while making a smart-ass response, asking if Jerome was using. Jerome then warned Beau if he was using there would be no coming back from it. Beau left their home and Louie fixated on the fact that they had Kane in their grasp while in disbelief that they failed once again.

### Wanda

In the Projects, Wanda is in Leon's crib as she grabbed a bag of frozen vegetables and brought them to him as Leon is lying on the couch bruised from the fight against Big Deon. She throws Leon the bag and starts rubbing his leg, asking if he needed to see a doctor. Leon tells Wanda he'll just need a moments rest. There is a loud bang at the door and Leon grabs his pistol. Renny then identifies himself and Wanda asked if Deon was with him. Renny stated he wasn't as Wanda let him in along with Einstein and some other guys. Renny tells Leon that Deon has a woman in Lynwood which he may have gone to while Einstein states that Deon cleared out the product and cash. Renny then states that Deon will return. Leon states nothing will happen for that night. Renny states it needs to happen soon and won't back Leon unless he has a plan. Wanda then snaps at Renny pointing out Leon's condition. The guys are speechless and Wanda asked them if the situation could wait or not. Leon then asked her if the Projects was better off before or after he left. Renny makes it clear that he respected Leon for what he did while ripping on him for being hypocritical, stating how he was dropping bodies while speaking of peace and how he ran things only to walk away. He then insulted Wanda, referring to her as a crackhead, and scorned Leon for marrying her. Both Leon and Wanda got off the couch, offended, and Leon warned Renny to shut his mouth. Renny then made it known that was the word in the hood and meant no disrespect. Renny then apologized to Wanda, who in turn, gave Renny the finger. Renny then is explaining the crew can't handle the changes, stating how the folks out their want to be looked after while making money. Renny then states that if Leon isn't up for it, then he should step down and let someone else call the shots. Leon then asked Renny who would runs things, naming him for starters. Renny then stated there are already people in the Projects eyeing the leadership position for the hood. He also stated it will get worse if Leon thought Deon's leadership was bad enough. There was a moment of silence and Wanda stated there was no point in stopping. Leon then got back onto his feet and exited his home with the guys following behind. There are people outside and Leon then hollered out who else wanted a piece of him. He waived his gun around, making it clear he knew there were some people scheming a potential mutiny and offers them a chance for the crown. He looks at one guy, and calls him out to see the reaction. He then yells out once more that if there were any takers, they could try him, but made it clear that Deon, referring to him as 'Little Deon', is gone. He then told the people in the Projects that if they want work, they go to him. He then yells out that they'll start working on the next day and plan to make money the right way while ripping on them for being pussies. Leon then returns to his crib and Wanda feared what would happened next.

Fernanda then walks in the dining room to see Oso who then made it clear he had some nerve returning back after what he put Xiamara through, and Xiamara stops her, and as Fernanda made her distaste for Oso known as Xiamara asked her to clear the room. As Fernanda walked off, Gustavo then requested a moment of her time and Xiamara wanted to known what it was about. Later they are in Oso's truck and Oso is explaining the situation he was in, stating there would be no deal with the DEA if he told her what happened and Xiamara stated he should have said something to her either way. Gustavo stated he didn't want to go through any of it by himself. He stated he couldn't sleep or breathe, but could only think of protecting her and the boys while looking for a way out. He then tells Xiamara that the DEA plan to raid the warehouse on the next day. He then clarifies he'll have to go into witness protection and as he states what would happen to her and the kids, Xiamara clarifies she can't live like that, stating how she would not like to spend the rest of her life looking over her shoulder with the DEA keeping tabs on the them, fearing any retribution from the CIA. Oso states he isn't asking her to and tells her she deserved a good life but stated she would need to leave immediately if she wanted to be free of this. She then asked Oso how she was suppose to flee with 2 kids and no money and where they would go. Gustavo then asked Xiamara what it was she wanted. Xiamara tells him it wasn't about 'want' but 'need', as she made her case she would not flee or enter WITSEC. Xiamara stated she just wanted a life and told Oso he needed to figure out how to make that happen for her and the kids.

Franklin is failing to convince Cissy to run, fearing Teddy would come for her. Cissy states she isn't moving anywhere and Franklin states his people won't just walk through the door but have other ways to off her. As Cissy remains unmoved while cleaning the place, Franklin asked if she had a death wish or if she wanted to die for not abandoning him as he was slinging the crack. Cissy snapped at Franklin who continued, reminding her how she helped him and that it was his money that built the shelter. He then asked if she enjoyed living her life and she bluntly said yes. Cissy then brought a cup of tea to a homeless person on a couch and offered her a cot. The homeless lady stated she didn't want a bed, fearing there are men who would take advantage of her. Cissy then offered to put a cot in the office and would allow her to lock the door so no one would bother her. The homeless lady agreed and when Cissy approached her son, Franklin stated that they were very close to changing the fate and fortune of their bloodlines for generations to come. He then reminded Cissy how she could have wound up dead near her ex-bosses old buildings, asking how it'd be possible to pay for the funeral. Cissy then asked Franklin how the current life bests that. Franklin couldn't answer and he pleads for his mother to do as he asked. He then kissed her on the forehead and took off.

Teddy is in his vehicle. He opens his glove compartment and inside there was a case and within the case, 3 syringes, in which he collected one. As Oso pulled up, Teddy concealed the syringe and exited his vehicle. As they met on the bridge, Oso told him that he and Xiamara had a fight after they returned from Costa Rica and came clean about being approached by Rubén at a bar, unaware of how he found him and knew of his work with Teddy. Oso also states that he and his family were threatened if he didn't help him. Teddy then asked what he wanted and Oso stated Rubén wanted proof that he was selling cocaine to finance the Contra War. Oso then tells Teddy they need to get the drugs and coke out of the warehouse immediately and as Teddy states it was fine, Gustavo hesitantly tells Teddy they could be watching them. Teddy then states the KGB illegals work alone. Teddy then stated the coke was already moved, and Oso asked what that happened. Teddy then stated he moved it the night prior, lying about following Rubén. Relieved that the KGB hasn't turned Oso, Teddy stated it was a good thing he was informed.

Veronique is posing as a daughter who is admitting her mother in Glenway and talking it up with the manager, Janis, as they pass up Robert who is playing chess and approached Cassandra, who is under the alias, Penny Cooper. Janis asks to borrow her daughter to do paperwork and to mingle with some of the tenants. As they left, Cassandra saw that Robert was no longer at the chess table and walked down the hall where the tenants rooms were at. She then found Colonel McDonald's room and knocked on the door, only to find it empty. She looked around the room and looked out the window to find Robert sitting on a bench outside.

### Tony

Agent Marino is gearing up at the safehouse for the raid along with Amanda and Oscar. He then gets a call and when he answers, it was Oso telling him to call off the raid. When asked why, Oso told Tony that Teddy moved the product. Tony then asked why that happened and Oso stated that Teddy was worried the KGB was onto them as he ended the call, curtailing Tony operation.

### Ricky

Ricky is at the equestrian center and enters the back of a vehicle, telling his guys, Ant and Indiana, that according to one of the stable workers, Louie frequents the place twice a week. When asked what days, Ricky couldn't provide the days but makes it clear they'll be scouting the place from sun-up to sun-down. Indiana didn't like the sound of that and Ant stated if Louie did appear, she wouldn't be alone. Ricky then makes it clear to the 2 men that Kane wanted Louie alive and they're to make sure that happens.

### Cassandra

Back over to Glenway Meadows, Cassandra approached the bench that Robert was sitting on. She sat down and pulled out a cigarette, asking Robert if he didn't mind the smoke. Robert then stated that smoking was against the rules. Cassandra, still playing the elderly lady being admitted, offered Robert a cigarette and Robert then requested her to ask why he was there. Cassandra obliged him by asking said question and Robert stated he had lung cancer. Cassandra then stated that she didn't believe one cigarette would kill him and Robert asked if it was Cassandra's first day there. Cassandra stated that if it were up to her, it would be her first and last day, claiming this was her daughters idea, while claiming she didn't deserve any mercy from her. Robert then asked why that was and Cassandra asked if he had kids. Robert stated that he had 2 sons and Cassandra asked if they were close. Robert shook his head and looking upon Cassandra, he claimed that she looked a bit young to wind up in Glenway Meadows. Cassandra then asked the Colonel how many black folks he knew as she suggested that they age like fine wine. Cassandra then apologized for not properly introducing herself and called herself 'Penny'. The Colonel introduces himself as 'Mac'. Cassandra then laments the idea of spending her final days holed up in a retirement home and asked Robert how bad it was in Glenway. Robert then told her he was a POW for 3 months in the Korean War in freezing weather while naked and stated he would rather do another month there than a day in Glenway. Cassandra then suggested making a bolt for it, and Robert stated they wouldn't get far on foot. Cassandra then pulled out a set of car keys, stating her daughter would notice them gone shortly and wouldn't want to be there. She then asked Robert once more.

### Veronique

As Cassandra and Robert jumped in the car, Veronique is in the office finishing up the paperwork, giving her mother the needed time to extract the Colonel.

### Jerome

Over at Louie's, Jerome and Louie are meeting with Big Deon, who is bruised up and frustrated after losing his spot as the head of the Projects, clarifying that Leon would get what's coming to him. Deon stated he was still running the PJ Watts and demanded that they starve Leon out. Louie stated they're running a business and would sell to whoever was buying. Deon stated he wasn't talking to Louie as he reminded Jerome he helped set up Black Diamond and Dallas and expected a return in the favor. Jerome showed no interest in the scheme and Deon then asked where the loyalty was at. He then asked if it was Louie calling the shots, referring to her as a bitch. Louie then got offended. Jerome then kissed Louie, requesting a minute and sent the security away. He then pulled out 2 shot glasses and poured whiskey in each of them. He grabs his glass and stated that the feud between Deon and Leon is not their problem. Deon then stated that Leon would be gone when he is finished. Jerome then asked what about afterwards, and Deon stated they'd return to business back to normal. Jerome then stated the business they're in isn't normal. He then told Deon it's getting much worse and it's not the police he was speaking of, but the young bloods who no nothing about respect, code, or honor. Jerome then stated that the OG's are a dying breed. Deon then drinks from his glass, stating he isn't part of some dying breed. Deon then takes off and Louie returns asking Jerome if everything was alright.

She then told Robert how their paths were different and how she kept looking for men to replace Veronique's father. Veronique is still listening in, knowing there was some truth to what Cassandra was telling the Colonel. She stated how much of her life was easy, raising a girl wasn't and stated that after figuring out how to raise her child, it was already too late and her daughter didn't need her anymore.

Clyde then stated they're almost finished with the vehicle and Jerome stated he recalled Clyde claiming he'd never settle down after already fathering 3 kids. Clyde stated that was way back when and Jerome asked if his kids knew what he did back in the day and how he got the Body Shop. Clyde stated his kids wouldn't care and then Jerome stated he earned his keep and thanked him for helping him jumpstart Jammin' Jerome's. Clyde stated he was obliged to do so as he once again saw the silver sedan pass by. Clyde pointed out that it was the second time he saw that car and Jerome asked what that meant.

### Rubén

Rubén is at his safehouse getting ready for the day and collected his pack of cigarettes from his bedroom. As he closed his closet door, he reopened it to crack it at 2 finger lengths for security measures. He then grabbed his jacket and keys and exited his place.

### Teddy

Upon Rubén leaving his place, Havemeyer gave Teddy the greenlight to infiltrate the spy's home. As Teddy entered the safehouse, he removed his shoes and informed Stephen he was in the apartment. Teddy began searching everywhere from the living room to the bathroom, searching every nook and cranny he could find. He even opened the bedroom closet and cracked the door, not realizing Rubén had the door cracked at 2 finger lengths. About the give up, Teddy soon spotted a hidden compartment on the shelf in the living room. He then grabbed a chair and used his knofe to open the compartment. Instead of finding any secrets documents, the only thing Teddy found hidden in the compartment was Rubén's gay porn stash.

### Jerome

Jerome just exited the liquor store and sat on the hood of his car with a whiskey bottle in hand. Reeling from his meltdown with Clyde, a bystander passed him up and Jerome snarled at him and took a shot of his whiskey. Jerome then received a page, but chose to ignore it as he tossed it in a trash can and drank some more of his whiskey.

### Cassandra

Later that night, Cassandra and Robert are still at farmhouse as Robert talked about his military days and his uncle being an Army Ranger, in which men feared him. Cassandra stated how strange it was to want something like that and Robert stated it was much more than that, there was the respect that came along with it. Robert then speaks how a man could fight so hard one day and the next someone would have to take care of them. Robert then hears a vehicle approach and Cassandra kisses him on the lips, telling him he felt like a man to her. Robert then hears someone entering the home, claiming it was Cassandra's daughter, and Cassandra stated her son-in-law was with her as well, and their fun has just concluded. Franklin and Veronique then entered the living room.

### Mac

Franklin, playing the part of the son-in-law, started bringing up how some folks have been looking for both Robert and 'Penny'. Robert then came to Cassandra's defense and took the fall for the escape, lying about how the running was his idea. Veronique, playing the good daughter, just stated how they're glad to see them OK and sent Franklin to make a call to 'the home'. As Franklin headed towards the kitchen, Robert then compared Franklin to Teddy in a way.

### Rubén

Rubén is back in his safehouse later that night. He flipped the light on in the kitchen as he was eating his apple. He grabbed a glass from the counter and opened the refrigerator to collect some ice for the glass. He then went to the sink to fill his glass with water. Sometime afterward, he entered his bedroom and placed the apple on the nightstand and as he was unbuttoning his shirt, he noticed the closet door was still open. He did the finger length test to discover that it was more than 2 to 3 finger lengths, meaning his safehouse may have been compromised.

### Teddy

Teddy and Havemeyer are back at the warehouse discussing their KGB spy, discovering he was a homosexual, which was a dangerous secret. Teddy then pointed out the spy was a dangerous man with a secret and must have another place to work out of and requested a 24 hour surveillance on Rubén. Oso then appears and Teddy give Gustavo the details on the spy. When Teddy asked Gustavo if he heard from him, Oso said he heard nothing. Teddy then gets a page and upon reading it, he stated it was out of Kansas City. Havemeyer then asked if Teddy had father in Kansas City and Teddy decided to answer the page. As he dialed the number, Franklin picked up, seeing how the area code got Teddy's attention. Teddy soon realized it was Franklin and tried to play the friendly guy to see what he was up to. Franklin told him he took the trip to Kansas City and made a statement about treating his father to some dinner, but pointed out the stolen money in the process. Teddy then asked if Franklin really had his father. Franklin then stated he did and suggested that Teddy should call Glenway Meadows to find out if his father was there, and the fact that he left with a black woman. Upon learning that, Teddy was feeling uneased, but playing dumb as last time, he accused Franklin of holding his father for ransom. As Stephen and Oso listened on the conversation, Teddy stated that Franklin should have done his homework, how he cold care less about his father and the fact that Franklin should think twice before murdering the father of a CIA agent. Teddy then requested to speak to his father to get Franklin out of the mess, instead, Franklin tells Teddy his bank accounts remained the same when he robbed him. Franklin then demanded Teddy to get a hold of William and tell him to transfer every penny back and he'll let his father go. Teddy soon realized that Franklin wasn't as dumb as he thought, as he urged him to reconsider his next move. Franklin then gave Teddy one final warning to return his money immediately. Teddy then told Franklin that it didn't work that way, and as he was making more excuses, Franklin, now impatient, told Teddy he made the wrong choice as he grabbed a knife from the kitchen countertop and walked toward the living with a knife and phone in hand. As Robert was living it up with the ladies, Franklin walked in and jammed the knife in the Colonel's throat and pulled. Cassandra and Veronique panicked as Robert got up and blood was splattering everywhere, then he collapsed on the ground. Teddy, hearing the commotion on the ground, demanded to know what Franklin just did to him. As Mac is dying on the floor, Franklin then asked Teddy if he still wanted to speak with his father. Franklin then lowered the phone to the dying Colonel and as Robert was gasping for air, Teddy was in shock as he asked his father if he could hear him. Robert already succumbed to the knife wound as Franklin got back on the phone. Cassandra was stunned to witness the kill as her Veronique, broke in tears while Franklin, who was fondling with the murder, made it clear that if Teddy didn't return his money, he would go after Julia and Paul and anyone he cared about. He then made it clear he would make them bleed out the way he did his father and slammed the phone down and threw it on the coffee table. Teddy, feeling completely blindsided, informed Stephen and Oso that Franklin may have killed his father. Oso then retrieved the phone from a now distraught Teddy.

### Franklin

Back in Tonganoxie, Franklin ordered the ladies out of the house and they did just that. Franklin then got off the recliner and picked up a bottle of whiskey, pouring it all over Mac and on the floor. He then tossed the bottle into the fireplace, causing the fire to roar up in flames. He then casually exited the house as the farmhouse ignited in flames and approached his rental vehicle while Veronique and Cassandra started theirs. They took off as Franklin entered the driver seat and as he drove down the driveway, the house began to engulf in flames. Smoke filled the air from the embers as Franklin rode off.
