The episode commences with Diana Williams (Hannah Onslow) being engulfed in a nostalgic reverie, finding herself in a bathroom stall as Lesley Williams (Leanne Best) frantically pounds on the door, her voice trembling with the solemn declaration that "he is gone." A kitchen knife lies abandoned in the sink, reflecting the turmoil within. Diana unlatches the door, her voice tinged with illness, as Lesley, visibly distressed, washes her hands and reassures her with a weary yet steadfast promise that everything will eventually be alright.
In the present moment, Diana unfolds a piece of paper, revealing a string of digits, and taps out a text to Lesley, politely requesting a callback. Later, immersed in her laptop's glow, Diana is interrupted by Michael Kavanagh (James Nelson-Joyce), who plants a kiss on her forehead and inquiries about her wellbeing. She confesses to feeling a shift within, harboring hopes of carrying her pregnancy to term. Michael's eyes light up with optimism. When she delves into his sentiments towards Ronnie Phelan (Sean Bean), he confesses his undying affection but laments that he had no choice but to let him go, already feeling his absence keenly. He reveals that Jamie Phelan (Jack McMullen) is eager to claim what rightfully belongs to them. Elaine Phelan (Julie Graham), concern etched on her face, inquires about the wellbeing of Jamie and Michael. Jamie assures her they are fine, urging her not to fret.
Melissa Sullivan (Darci Shaw) voices her desire to reside elsewhere while Ronnie's body still lays in their midst. Michael receives a call from Bonehead (Bobby Schofield), who informs him of an eager outsider willing to pay handsomely for ten units and urges a swift transaction. Jamie sanctions the sale but reminds Bonehead of another individual involved. Bonehead alerts him that Little Blink (Hebron Tedros) keeps a watchful eye on his abode. Michael asserts his desire to remove any obstacles, softly implying the necessity of eliminating 'soft lads,' and terminates the call. Melissa, curious, asks who the 'soft lad' is, to which Michael replies, "Michael." She cautions them against the immense stakes at risk, but he counters by painting a picture of millions in gains.
Elaine, lost in a nostalgic reverie to the tunes of "I've Gotta Be Me" by Sammy Davis Jr., reminisces about her shared memories with Ronnie. Meanwhile, Molly (Eva Morgan) peers through her flat's window, her gaze falling upon a battered Billy (Shane Walker). He opens the trunk of his vehicle, retrieving a brick of cocaine from a bag, and exhales deeply, a sigh laden with tension. Elsewhere, Bonehead enters a Laundromat, only to be greeted by Helen's (Polly Kemp) complaints about his weed-tinged scent. He defends it as medical marijuana but finds his stash missing upon returning to his flat. Helen mentions Billy's recent visit, hinting at his involvement.
Outside Billy's residence, Blink receives a directive from Bonehead to knock on doors. Obliging, Blink peers through the window but finds it empty. Frustration mounts in Bonehead's voice as he orders Blink to break in and search the premises. Inside, Blink calls Bonehead, confusion evident in his voice, asking what exactly he's supposed to be seeking. "Fifty kilos of cocaine," Bonehead replies, sending shockwaves through Blink. Blink reaches out to Banksey (Mike Noble), pleading for solitude after imparting the gravity of the situation.
Just as Billy arrives at Molly's flat with takeout, his phone buzzes with an incoming private call. Ignoring it, he casually mentions the drugs belong to him. Molly, her voice edged with fear, warns that their involvement could lead to their undoing and threatens to leave. The phone persists in its ringing, prompting her to insist he stay out of her life before exiting. He promises to return the drugs, a solemn vow hanging in the air.
Diana persists in her attempts to reach Lesley, but her efforts remain fruitless. The coroner, George Gallagher, delivers Ronnie's casket to the house, and Jamie directs them to its resting place. He ignores a call from Bonehead and proceeds to inform Rachel Duffy (Laura Aikman), Melissa, Elaine, (with a repetition omitted for clarity) and Bobby Duffy (Kevin Harvey) that Ronnie still resembles himself in death. Michael's arrival is met with an embrace from Elaine, who expresses gratitude for his presence.
Jamie eventually answers Bonehead's persistent call and learns of the missing cocaine. His abrupt departure from the room piques Michael's curiosity. Bonehead's revelation leaves Bobby clueless, while Rachel asserts that it's Jamie's affair to handle. Michael, however, insists that Jamie's troubles are shared by all. Bobby reassures him that Jamie is aware of this.
Outside, Jamie instructs Bonehead to create a disturbance. Elaine then leaves Jamie and Michael alone with Ronnie's body. Michael reflects that Ronnie shot Davy out of despair over Jamie's betrayal, a regret he felt instantly. He accuses Jamie of taking the lemo and demands his share. Jamie, swearing on Ronnie's body, vehemently denies possessing it. Michael suggests that Jamie may have broken Ronnie's heart instead. Jamie counters by wondering aloud if Michael, seeing their close bond last night, could have been driven to murder Ronnie. Michael demands that Jamie take responsibility.
Elaine asks Michael to deliver the eulogy, as Ronnie trusted him the most. Cheryl Crawford (Saoirse-Monica Jackson) arrives, voicing her concern about Davy's disappearance. Meanwhile, Banksey informs Michael that Blink believes Billy took Jamie's 50 kilos of lemo. Michael reminisces about the good times until Jamie and Ronnie's greed ruined everything. Banksey emphasizes the urgency of finding Billy before revealing that Freddie (Adam Abbou) is keeping watch on Michael's house.
Elsewhere, Cheryl offers Elaine reassurance that Davy would stand by her and Ronnie. Rachel suggests that Davy might have lost his phone and forgotten her number. Elaine remains hopeful that he will return and apologize for his abrupt disappearance. Jamie confides in Melissa that a man stole his drugs, valued at three million pounds, and asks her to discreetly discuss raising money with Rachel, ensuring not to mention it to Bobby. Melissa expresses her concern for their safety, but Jamie assures her they are secure.
In a phone conversation, Diana urges Lesley to let Michael know about her father, but Lesley discourages her. Outside Billy's house, Freddie witnesses a van arrive, with four masked men leaping out to break in. He alerts Banksey and Michael, who are immediately notified by the security alarm. Freddie updates them on Bonehead and Jamie's proximity.
The van speeds away from the scene as Molly steps out and walks towards the house. Michael and Banksey catch up with Billy, who accelerates in response to Michael's command to pull over. A high-speed chase ensues, culminating in a tunnel where Billy's car is side-swiped. Police arrive on the scene shortly after. Banksey and Michael drive past the wreckage, only to find Billy deceased, leaning against the steering wheel.
Elaine insists that Ronnie's demise was never meant to be. Bobby's phone buzzes with a text from Michael, inquiring about the total amount of money they can collectively scrape together. Rachel estimates roughly two million, while Bobby reminds her they owe about a million. She expresses her hesitation in handing over their hard-earned cash to Michael. He reassures her, reminding her of their debts for the equipment, emphasizing that the money belongs to them all. Rachel queries if Michael has taken over as the de facto leader. Bobby assures her that Michael and the Amigos are their best shot at resolving the situation.
Cheryl tries calling Davy once again, but to no avail. Diana confides in Michael that her father's family shunned her when she sided with Lesley. She reveals that her father's passing mirrored Ronnie's, asking if Ronnie's burial will mark the end of their turmoil. Michael hopes so, and she thanks him for his honesty.
Later, Elaine and her family arrive at the solemn church. Michael informs Jamie of Billy's untimely death, and the police issue a fine for their limo, citing a paperwork mix-up with the registration. Jamie, Michael, Banksey, and Bobby carefully carry Ronnie's casket into the sacred space. DS Barney Stiles (Shaun Fagan) introduces himself to Cheryl, who informs him that her criminal spouse is absent from the mournful gathering.
The priest (Charlie De’ Ath) addresses the gathered mourners, and Michael steps up to the podium to deliver a heartfelt eulogy. Memories of Ronnie's brutal murder haunt him, causing his nose to bleed. Following the funeral, Rachel confronts Michael, questioning his happiness and emphasizing her own desire to prevail. He ignores her and walks away.
Bobby, Banksey, Elaine, Rachel, and Michael dance to "The House of Bamboo" by Andy Williams, paying tribute to Ronnie's memory. Melissa asks Jamie if he'd like to join them, but he declines. Cheryl confesses to Diana that she's contemplating making a scene, but Diana cautions her, warning that people might chalk it up to grief-induced drinking. Melissa admits she doesn't understand the source of her anger. Jamie watches Elaine and Michael intently from the bar, prompting Melissa to order him to stop staring.
Elaine presses Michael for answers about Ronnie's killers. He admits that finding them will be the challenge. She insists that he find them and make them feel the pain they've caused. He solemnly promises to do so. Suddenly, Jamie grabs the microphone, demanding that Elaine stay away from Michael. He loudly accuses Michael of murdering Ronnie. Ronnie and Banksey swiftly intervene, escorting Jamie out of the church. Michael reassures Elaine that Jamie's accusations are baseless, refuses to acknowledge Jamie as a friend, and vows to keep his promise.
On their way home, Diana asks Michael if he'll need to deal with Jamie definitively. He remains silent. At the police station, Cheryl asks the desk sergeant (Saba Amini) to inform DS Stiles to contact her.
