Tonight’s episode of “Animal Kingdom” begins with Pope in jail while Baz goes on a joyride with Nicky’s father.

Ending their joy ride, Baz keeps a close eye on the briefcase that Nicky’s father never lets out of his sight, sensing that a potential job opportunity could be near. At school, J and Nicky discuss J coming over for dinner.
