At first glance, both crews questioned the authenticity of the product.

There is no glow.

Tommy is eager to expand with the new version ready to hit the streets and the distros on board.

Walter finally receives a diagnosis: he has cancer.

Tommy learns more about JPs financial woes while helping JP remodel their grandmothers old home.

The club is under foreclosure and his fathers medical expenses are costly.

The insurance doesnt cover the stint he needs in his heart.

His new role will be working in the lab with Liliana and Lauryn.

Over at the barbershop, Diamond and Jenard spend some quality time.

Jenard tells him that he would expand and invest in the new drug.

Although he speaks about these two strategies as hypotheticals, he has already activated both plans without Diamonds knowledge.

In their conversation, he tells Diamond that CBI started with and will end with him.

The cryptic messaging feels like both a lie and the truth.

Vic tasks Benniganwith finding out.

Meanwhile, Jenard puts up $20K for whoever could bring him back information on the drugs origins.

This episode should be called Nosey-ass Drug Dealers because everybody wants to know everything.

Walter asks Vic once again to find out what Claudia has been up to.

Vic pushes back and tells his father he has no desire to spy on his sister.

His father, however, scolds him about the responsibilities of his role in their family business.

Apparently, spying on his sister is included in the job description.

While the Flynn family continues to have internal and external conflicts, Tommy and JP mourn their grandmother.

She died at the hospital moments after a visit from JP.

When JP shares the news with Tommy, he pushes him to call Kate.

Now, what would Walter Flynn want with Mr. Tommy Eagan?

Walter offers Tommy a rather odd proposal.

He invites Tommy to join the Flynn organization.

Tommy doesnt take his gesture as flattering and rudely declines.

Feeling a bit salty, Walter questions Tommy about his relationship with Gloria.

His deep racist beliefs wont allow him to let go of trying to break Vic and Gloria up.

Tommy schools him a bit.

He defends Gloria and Vics romantic union and points out to Walter that he is the only problem.

The conversation ends with Walter threatening to end Glorias life.

Walters erratic behavior and tumultuous relationship with his kids appear to directly result from grief.

After Tommy leaves the mansion, Pauly and Walter have a heartfelt conversation.

He points out to Walter that hes pushing his kids further away rather than closer together.

Walter is concerned about the future of the organization.

He doesnt think that Vic is ready and refuses to appoint Claudia as the head of the organization.

Pauly now knows that Walter doesnt have much time left because of his illness.

After realizing Walters hatred for Gloria, Tommy decides to give Vic a heads up to protect Gloria.

He sets up the perfect getaway plan for Vic and demands that he keeps Gloria safe.

Vic is quite skeptical about Tommys motives but presents the plan to Gloria anyway.

He sold the land and paid off her debt.

The two now have an opportunity to leave Chicago and go somewhere forever.

Dismissing Tommys directions, Claudia visits Diamond and offers him a 10% deal.

She doesnt give him the specifics of the deal yet.

But Diamond is wise and has a feeling it is Dahlia.

He also realizes that Claudias pitch is rooted in bad business practices, so he calls her bluff.

If she can only offer 10%, she must be in business with others who arent present.

He quickly declines her deal.

Diamonds wisdom also allows him to smell Adrians bullshit from a mile away.

He questions her motives after finding out who she is through a Google search.

She tells him the truth and admits that shes fallen for him.

The loss of his grandmother causes Tommy to think about Kate more.

He spends a few moments looking at old family photos and video footage.

The reminiscing is interrupted by work.

Tommy packs his bag and heads to Claudia to distribute their profits.

Claudia tells him she no longer wants to hide in the shadows anymore.

Shes pretty shocked that Tommy supports her decision.

The two realize that the decision to let go of their anonymity puts them in danger.

However, Tommy reassures her that hes ready for whatever, even going to war with her father.

JP also auditions for Liliana and Tommy for the role of a cook.

So far, things are going well, but I hope it remains that way.

On his way to visit his drug-addicted son, Paulie stops to visit Vic.

They catch up on family happenings, including Vic and Walters relationship.

Within that conversation, Paulie drops a slight bomb on Vic.

Vic receives this news as Tommy having ulterior motives and delays leaving town.

Almost immediately after exchanging a passionate kiss, they were ambushed by the Serbs.

Vics truck is left riddled with bullets one deadly bullet struck Gloria in the face, leaving Vic heartbroken.

He takes the drug to cousin Buddy in Gary.

Kate appears back on Tommys mind again.
