Ten months after the riot, Em City is reopened.

Having been told by O'Reily that Adebisi was responsible for his father's death, Peter Schibetta takes over the kitchen by cashing in a favor Glynn owes the family. Schillinger returns to Em City and he learns from his Dad that his junkie kids have run away. As Schillinger's parole hearing nears, Beecher taunts his nemesis mercilessly in an attempt to ruin Schillinger's quest for freedom. McManus confronts Wittlesey about the death of Scott Ross.
