Max, bloodied from his murderous fight with Terrence, stumbles back to Donny's motel room. A hospital is out of the question so Jayne stitches him up in front of Donny and his damaged ex-wife Pam, who is a mixture of toughness and emotional frailty. Pam, now living with Jayne, has never understood why Donny's job has emptied him the way it has. She chooses to help Donny bury Terrance's body and cover up the murder. Things heat up for Carlos. Warring drug suppliers Andre and Eddie both threaten to kill him unless he remains loyal. Carlos's dilemma is that remaining loyal to both won't be possible. Retribution for Carlos' disloyalty comes in a sudden and un-expected manner when his brother Giles is shot and killed in a drive-by.
