In 1984, Smurf begins making plans to move into what will one day become the Cody family home and reveals that she is pregnant. In the present, the Codys rob the port, but they are discovered and are forced to flee both the man that they are robbing and the police; however, the heist is successful. After getting her cut of the money, Frankie leaves the country while Ren, continuing to ignore Craig and living with her cousins, attempts to send a friend to collect both her and Nick's things only to have Craig refuse. Enraged at Pete's lies about the cocaine, Pope confronts him with J and rips one of Pete's eyes out as a punishment for his actions, threatening to do worse if he doesn't give them their cut within a week. The Codys share a family dinner where J and Deran, finally working together as the leaders of the family, outline their plan to sell off Smurf's apartment buildings and buy a series of businesses to launder their money through like J's bowling alley and to everyone's surprise, Deran decides to start laundering money through his bar which had previously been just his legitimate side business. As they celebrate, the police discover Catherine's body buried at a new housing development.
