Dwight delves into the intricacies of his daughter Cristina's life on a digital platform at the dawn of Tulsa King's second episode.

His subsequent attempt to dispatch a package to the bustling metropolis of New York, ostensibly a mafia transaction, falters when the cashier coldly rejects his offer of "cash."
At a quaint coffee shop, Dwight encounters another sign of the times; the barista has forsaken the tradition of serving in glass, and the once-affordable brew now commands a price fivefold its former self. Stacy, intrigued, delves into Dwight's past, uncovering a sordid tale of two murders—one committed outside the prison walls, the other within, a claim of self-defense. Despite the opportunity to cooperate with authorities, he chose the path of solitude, earning Stacy's grudging admiration amidst warnings to tread cautiously around him.
Dwight's wanderings lead him to a mystical discovery: "the center of the universe," a locale whispered by a mysterious woman. She weaves a tale of inaudibility, where one standing within its circle is shrouded from the ears of those without. Dwight, ever curious, tests the veracity of this claim and finds himself enveloped in silence.
Meanwhile, Vince's fury simmers at Chickie's inaction against Dwight's affront, citing the unbreakable code of the organization: a strike against a Capo necessitates the perpetrator's demise. Chickie, the voice of reason, seeks to quell the tension and broker a truce.
Dwight's quest for connectivity with his daughter propels him to a bank, where he confronts yet another obstacle—an expired ID. Determined, he navigates the labyrinthine bureaucracy of the Department of Public Service, cunningly acing a driver's test and slipping a bribe to secure an expedited appointment.
News of Dwight's—now known as Ike's—return sends Manny into a paranoid spiral, convinced that his rival has returned to settle scores. Chickie, acting as mediator, informs Dwight of the price he must pay to Vince to quell the conflict: a hefty sum of one hundred thousand dollars. Dwight's initial indignation gives way to resignation, realizing it's a necessary evil.
Stacy, armed with the truth about her identity, makes a bold move to confront Dwight. Her revelation, however, falls on deaf ears as Dwight unleashes a torrent of frustration about his tumultuous life. His harsh words chase Stacy from the hotel, leaving her unfazed but Dwight instantly consumed by regret.
