- Assuming the involvement of the Campbell brothers at the Copeland territory shootout, Jackie confronts Grace, who can no longer sidestep her sons' criminal activity. She is forced to make a terrible compromise. Resenting the outcome of a negotiation that he could not take part in, Decourcy finds comfort in the strength of Siobhan, who keeps her head even after tragedy strikes. Jenny insists on helping Maeve, whether or not that means defying Jackie.—SHOWTIME

Title card: "The rivalry between the Braxton Boys and Copeland Crew leads to more bloodshed." Repeat of Anton shooting Junior Senegal and the rest of the Copeland Crew, but not before Junior shoots Anton's brother, Kelvin Campbell.
Jackie Rohr inspects Kelvin's blood trail in the Copeland Crew's apartment building. He emerges from the building and opines to Det. Sgt. Chris Caysen that it's one of the Campbell brothers' blood. Jackie gets into a car where ADA Decourcy Ward waits, and tells him there are three Copeland Crew dead and a report of one black male dragging another black male away from the scene. There are no relevant reports of gunshot wounds at the local hospitals, so Jackie and Decourcy surmise that Grace must be harboring her sons.
At his apartment, Afram Mensah, a Nigerian doctor who works as an orderly in Boston, tells Grace that he has successfully removed the bullet from Kelvin, but that the blood loss has been severe. Grace says she's blood type O-negative, and asks him to use her as a blood donor. She goes out to buy do-it-yourself transfusion supplies.
In their empty church, Jenny approaches Maeve to lend moral support. Maeve says she's embarrassed to have involved Jenny in her mess. Maeve encourages Jenny to sing the solo in the choir next Sunday.
Cathy retrieves some of the drugs she hid in the tampon box and stuffs them into her headband. She puts the kids on their best behavior and leaves the apartment.
Jackie uses a skeleton key to enter the locked Campbell apartment and confronts Grace with what he knows about the shootings at Copeland Park. Despite her denying him permission to enter, he strolls about and finds blood on the soles of a pair of shoes she has taken off. He arrests her.
Decourcy muses about how it's not really Grace that he wants rotting in a cell, but Jackie's just fine with Grace stewing in custody.
Back at the Rohr home, Jenny tells Jackie she's decided to sing the choir solo, and also tells him that their daughter, Benny Rohr, has invited her friend Faust Aquino over for dinner. Jackie mostly behaves himself during dinner, but out in front of the house afterwards, he tests Faust's ability to protect Benny by punching him in the stomach. Faust responds by punching Jackie back, so evidently he passed the test.
Siobhan awakens in the middle of the night with pain in her midsection. She tells Decourcy that she needs to go to the hospital. He agrees, and spies spots of blood on the floor.
At the hospital, Siobhan gets an ultrasound. She breaks down and cries in Decourcy's arms.
In an alleyway, Cathy makes a drug sale to one of Jimmy Ryan's burned-out old buyers.
While Cathy's out, Kick searches her mom's bedroom. She finds the tampon box with the drugs and finds the death certificate of her father, Francis Ryan, who died of trauma to the head and other causes at Walpole State Prison. She hides the drugs and the death certificate behind an extension in the window air conditioning unit.
In the morning, Jackie tells Jenny he approves of Faust. Jenny asks Jackie for money to help Maeve, and tells him it's to escape the IRA. Jackie is upset about the IRA connection and tells her to stay away from Maeve.
At Decourcy and Siobhan's home, they're each blaming themselves for the miscarriage. Siobhan's mother, Prof. Eloise Hastings, arrives to comfort the couple. Decourcy takes the baby carriage out to the curbside trash to keep Siobhan from having to see it, and ends up taking his frustrations out on the carriage.
Decourcy's boss, Guy Dan, tells Jackie he doesn't want to let Decourcy have a crack at Grace in the interrogation room, and also tries to convince Jackie to be diplomatic because Grace has a lot of influence in Boston.
Eloise confesses to Siobhan that she had had two miscarriages herself before getting pregnant with Siobhan. Siobhan tells Decourcy he should go in to work, and then goes to take a shower. Once Siobhan is out of earshot, Eloise tells Decourcy to bury the whole Campbell family.
Guy and Jackie question Grace with her lawyer, Kamal Kalil, present. Grace has a laundry list of demands that the cops are mostly prepared to accede to, such as getting Kelvin medical help and getting Grace straight with the law (e.g., expunging her phony alibi for Anton from the record), but they want her to give up Anton in exchange. Jackie says Siobhan's baby died.
Cathy asks Kick if she has been in her closet. Kick lets Cathy know that she knows her dad is dead.
Decourcy confronts Guy about having made a deal with Grace. Decourcy says Grace probably can't even produce Anton. Guy says Decourcy is biased and to go home.
While Father Diarmuid Doyle looks on from a window, Maeve encourages Jenny not to give up on searching for her abusive father. Jenny hands Maeve $5,000.
In a circumscribed manner, Father Doyle tells Jackie that he thinks Maeve is going to use some newfound money to buy guns.
Jackie confronts Jenny, telling her that the money she gave Maeve from Jackie's emergency slush fund was all in service of a con. Jenny counters that she didn't touch Jackie's ill-gotten gains, but took the money out of their joint bank account instead, and that she did a good deed.
Anton is waiting back at Dr. Mensah's apartment. Grace gives him a tongue-lashing. She says once they manage to get Kelvin to a hospital, preferably out of state, she's done with Anton.
Sunday morning, Benny makes breakfast for Jenny on her big day of singing the solo.
At church, Jenny sings the solo and hits the right notes. Benny and Faust are present, but Jackie is not.
Anton buys some food, and rendezvouses with Grace. They walk ostensibly towards her car, but police cars ambush them from two sides. When Jackie and Sgt. Caysen draw guns, Anton shoots and breaks into a house. Officer Tony Suferin and Officer Russ Wallace are positioned behind the house. Despite orders not to engage, Officer Suferin is determined to do so anyway, and Officer Wallace follows him into the back of the house. Jackie shouts at Anton that Grace told them where to find him. Suferin shoots and kills Anton. Grace needs to be restrained. Sgt. Caysen chews out Officer Suferin. Suferin claims that Anton wheeled around on him. Officer Wallace doesn't look so sure about that, but claims he was outside the whole time and didn't see anything.
Decourcy saunters up the sidewalk to the scene of the shootout. He pauses at Grace, who's perched on the side of a cop car seat, and says he's sorry. She says he's not, and that he wasn't trapped like they were (presumably meaning project folks) and could have walked away from the mess back at the beginning. Despite the fact that forensics does not appear to have cleared the scene, Decourcy is able to walk up close and view the dead Anton.
Back at Guy's office, Guy is pissed off. Caysen takes responsibility for Suferin because Suferin was under Caysen's command. Decourcy is pissed because he wants a full investigation into the deadly shooting. Jackie is willing to do anything to make the fuss go away.
At a bar, Decourcy says that he expected satisfaction from Anton's death, but instead he feels like shit. Jackie doesn't understand why. Jackie says the world boils down to Us and Them. This doesn't improve Decourcy's mood.
Grace has been sitting at Kelvin's bedside in a hospital. She hasn't awakened him to tell him about Anton. A uniformed policeman coaxes her to let him take her home.
Decourcy goes home, but before entering, he notices a blood stain on his cuff. He takes the shirt off in the hallway, stuffs it in a waste basket, and then goes inside.
