At Company:
Teresa is yelling at Danny and Michelle. Theresa wants to know why they lied to her uncle about running the family business. Michelle tells Theresa to be quiet because Drew doesn't know anything about this. She says why did you say you were going legit. Michelle starts yelling at her and Theresa says I'll tell you when I want you to talk to me. Michelle tells her now that Carmen is gone she outranks Theresa. Theresa asks Danny is he going to let Michelle talk to her that way and he doesn't respond. Theresa storms off. Drew and Jesse want to know what's going on. Danny says that Theresa and Carlos think they are going to use Millennium as a cover for the mob. Jesse says it's hard as hell to get out of Mob business. Michelle says it will be different this time. Danny wants to get dinner. Jesse says things will never change. If anything happens, he will hold Danny personally responsible. Drew apologizes to them and they leave Michelle and Danny. Michelle says this is a nightmare. Danny says he's mad at himself not her. This will be over in a few days when his mother and everyone else are out of the picture. And then they will be free. Michelle really wishes they didn't have to tell Jesse. She says if Carmen backs out they will have to run the family business. He says she won't back out. The first thing they want to do when this is over is have a ground-breaking party for their house. She can invite everyone she knows. She says does that include Carlos and Theresa. She knows Theresa will have to be involved with some of this and she can handle that as long as she respects the fact that he is the most important person in her life.

At the Jail:
Carmen tells Claire that she's been thinking about her offer and the answer is no. The offer is tempting but she doesn't see how Claire can accomplish it. She doesn't trust her. Carmen says to get things done right you have to do them yourself. Claire says there's no way she can accomplish that being in the Witness Protection program. Carmen says she will always have connections. She can get it done. Claire says she loves her daughter and threats against her daughter don't sit well with her. Carmen laughs calling her a mama bear, says she likes to take care of things her own way. Claire says if she messes with her she will be sorry. She has connections too. She's a doctor with access to drugs and people trust her. That's why the guard let her back. She talks about the tray of food Carmen was eating. Claire asks her if she is enjoying that pudding. Does it taste a little funny? Carmen laughs. It doesn't make sense for Claire to poison her when she was coming there to see if she had accepted her proposal. Claire says there is always next time and she doesn't want her daughter threatened. Carmen says there may be a way for them to work together after all. Carmen says she has to give Claire some credit. She's more devious than she thought. Claire says she can do this and break them up but won't do a thing until she has her word that Michelle will not be hurt. Carmen says she won't do anything to Michelle. Claire says it goes without saying that they will not breathe a word of this to another living soul. Carmen says they have nothing to feel guilty about. They are just two mothers doing whatever it takes to keep their children safe.
