Synopsis[]

When a mobster jeopardizes the casino bill, Marty enlists Buddy's help. Wendy resorts to dirty tactics to get votes. Cade reminds Ruth of her roots.

Plot[]

The Kansas City Mafia sends Mercer an unsubtle message, causing state senate support for the casino bill to waver. Marty capitalizes on Buddy's prior relationship with Mafia head Frank Cosgrove to reach agreement that the casino will be unionized, which keeps the project viable.

Cade is paroled and rebuffs the job Ruth persuaded Marty to offer. Marty gives Ruth more responsibilities, including entrusting her with the cash to pay for acquiring and moving the riverboat that will house the casino. She is a fierce negotiator when the seller tries to fleece her.

Darlene looks for someone to love and nurture in Ash's place and asks Jacob if they can adopt a baby.

Wendy sees Mason preaching on the streets of Jefferson City, baby Zeke at his side.

Wendy attends a prayer breakfast to woo faltering senators, but later resorts to blackmail. She hires a stripper, Lulu, from Lickety Splitz to seduce Senator Foreman's husband. Wendy then enters the hotel room, snapping photos and recording him in a cross-dressing bondage arrangement.

Wilkes makes a play for Wendy as the price for obtaining the vote of the last senate holdout, Blake, but Wendy rebuffs him. When she gets home and tells Marty about the encounter, he asks whether she did it or not, offending her. She returns to Wilkes' house in the morning, where she tells him that Senator Blake "had a family emergency and had to go out of town," thus missing the vote, tilting the balance in the casino's favor.

Cade robs a diner to show Ruth that he has not changed, then demands her help in locating Marty's money.

Rachel's drug-and-drinking binge causes her to wreck her car, leading Roy to turn her into an informant against Marty and send her back to the Blue Cat.
