Kevin and Joey decide to go against Tommy's wishes and find a way to get Jimmy out of jail and rehab. They steal a bunch of tools for a plumber at a hardware store, but the two only stole carpenter tools so the plumber won't touch them.

As the driver plans to tell the cops about the assult to send Kevin to jail along with Jimmy, a bus hits him killing him. Jimmy is free because of this.
After Sean's lung becomes damaged, Tommy attacks the head of admissions and treatens to cut off his fingers if he doesn't move Sean. Tommy then has a change of heart and only cuts a piece of the skin, leaving the fingers intact and walking away. Dokey, Alo and Nicky come close to a confrontation.
