Jim is rushed to hospital by ambulance with the mob-inflicted head wound meant for Fearless. Joe Connelly's divorce is announced in the press. A month later, Robbie is too furious the police are making no progress for Tina's divorce decree to stir rampant joy, but realizes a cat left the shooting day without valid contact address is probably the killer's alibi; alas his set-up with a waiter's roommate's tip only attracts cops, who arrest him and Heather. Joanie proves an ingrate again when Elliot can return to Chicago now his ma bankrolls another catering business for him. Jim is returned home, but is moody and may never regain full memory, doesn't recognize Fearless but mourns for Buddy, his first (stray) dog, practically thrown in front of a car by his laid-off dad, then disappears during a party thrown in his honor. Yet that dog's grave is where he and Robbie, who can't handle seeing him confused, bond back.
