Francesca says her father hasn’t been honest, he is broke. Her mom got drunk a few months back and told her that the well dried up. She can hear it in her father’s voice, Carmine Romano is a proud man and this is killing him.
Jamie does some digging around on Janko’s Fentanyl case.
Frank asks Sid what is going on with the immigration, he says it is a nightmare. Garrett is worried they are going to come off as anti-immigrant. Frank says it is not about that, it is about giving the immigrants the service and support that they deserve.

She is determined to help her build her suit.
The mayor is upset with Frank because he called the governor, he thinks state troopers should be called in to help. The mayor says another bus arrives tomorrow and he will be there to welcome it with open arms and he expects Frank’s people are there as well.
Jamie has the guy in an interrogation room when Janko asks if she can have a word with him. She tells him that if he cooperates she will put in a word with the DA, but he wants him to drop the charges against Delucci.

Janko is with Delucci, she tells him that the man who sold the Fentanyl to his grandson was arrested, and two other people. As well, a letter was written, and the charges against him are dropped. He tells her she did good police work. She says she doesn’t condone what he did, but his grandson would be real proud of him.
The mayor welcomes the immigrants, Frank arrives and says he is there to see his show live and in person. Frank hands him an envelope, he says it is a bill. The NYPD offers a uniformed police presence at private gatherings, sporting events, concerts for a price. So, if he wants his people at his show, he will pay for it like anyone else, personal cheques and credit cards accepted, payable in 30 days and that isn’t a request.
THE END!
