Mayor Tom Kane prepares the family residence for Emma's release on home monitoring. He asks Mona to invite open bids for the Lennox Gardens Housing Project redevelopment, ostracizing his contractor ally Gerald "Babe" McGantry. Mona Fredericks grates at working with the inexperienced Ian Todd but Todd continues to satisfy Kane's demands. Kane experiences hallucinations of Ezra Stone and the murder plagues him on other fronts as Sam Miller continues to investigate. Kitty O'Neill rejects re-conciliatory overtures from Ben Zajac in the form of a campaign manager position. Instead she signs up with his rival Senator Catherine Walsh.
Mayor Tom Kane prepares his family home for the release of his daughter Emma Kane on home monitoring. He goes to place a vase of flowers in her room but is troubled by a hallucination of Emma as a young girl, and imagines himself dropping the vase. Kane is picked up and driven to work. Across town State's Attorney Jeff Doyle attends morning mass at his church.
Kane arrives at work and is briefed by Ian Todd. He learns that Doyle, rather than the police superintendent, is leading the investigation into the shooting of Meredith Kane. Tom is dismissive of Doyle's request that they meet at his office and tells Ian to demand that he come to City Hall in ten minutes. Doyle attends as expected and questions Kane about his enemies. Kane is disappointed that Doyle has not developed a viable suspect and lays into him.
Meredith continues to recover from her injuries in hospital, undergoing physiotherapy to restore her mobility. Tom visits Meredith in the hospital and she warns him not to expect too much from Emma's return home, given their estrangement and his role in triggering her incarceration. Her warning, and his hallucinations, are prescient; Emma ignores Tom when she returns home, searches her room for monitoring devices, and throws the vase of flowers against the door when he tries to talk to her.
Ben and Maggie Zajac prepare for a television interview in their home about Ben's actions during the shooting incident, where his first instinct was to protect his wife. Maggie talks up Ben's heroism during the piece.
Ben meets Kitty O'Neill for lunch. He tells her that he has fired his campaign manager Rick Mathers for incompetence and offers her the job. He also makes a pass at her, trying to restart their sexual relationship. She is disinterested, having just had an abortion for the unwanted pregnancy that resulted from their affair, but does not reveal why. She returns home and channel surfs, despondent, until she gets an unexpected phone call from Senator Catherine Walsh.
Kitty meets Walsh on her campaign bus. Walsh explains that she is focusing her campaign on Cook County and is sending Gwendie back to manage her senate seat. She asks Kitty to cross the aisle and act as her campaign manager. Kitty is surprised but accepts the job offer. Later Kitty meets with Sam Miller. He tells her about Kane seeing Dr. Harris and she reacts with genuine surprise. She reveals that she is now working for Walsh. He asks if he can call her and she responds flirtatiously, telling him that he can, but not about Kane.
