As episode 5 of Your Honor season 2 begins, Michael, in a dark alley, discards the phone Olivia had bestowed upon him with a decisive flick of his wrist. Monique rides alongside Eugene, her tone a mix of reproach and admiration. She chastises him for returning, yet acknowledges his bravery in facing the potential consequences.
Unbeknownst to Monique, Eugene has been staying with her sister Sheila in Houston. Meanwhile, Gina storms into the kitchen, her anger palpable. The chef hastily clears the space, allowing Gina to take over the preparation of cannoli, a traditional dessert that has been a fixture on Jimmy's birthdays. The entire family gathers to enjoy the dessert, with the notable absence of Fia. Gina's ire is further inflamed by Jimmy's announcement that Charlie will be the godfather of Rocco, Fia's child. She declares that anyone would be outraged by such a blatant betrayal.
Olivia visits the judge at his home, her excitement evident when she learns that Carmine has returned to town. She eagerly suggests that they will bring them all down under some provision of the RICO act. Over breakfast at the Baxter household, Carmine and Gina discuss the waterfront land deal with Jimmy. Carmine insists on swift action, warning that Charlie might open it up to other bidders if they hesitate. However, Gina holds a different opinion, voicing her concerns.
Carmine asserts that Baxter's business empire is built on the "Conti" name and threatens to secure a new mayor if Charlie doesn't concede the deal. Jimmy is startled by this revelation and rushes to inform Michael. Meanwhile, Zeke, Charlie's assistant in the Mayor's office, is disgruntled with his boss's decision to attend the party. He warns that they need to act swiftly to retain the trust of their constituents.
Charlie convenes a meeting with a group of investors, seeking funds for his election campaign. He proposes a public-private partnership, offering them the opportunity to develop the waterfront area. While the investors will contribute financially, the government will also provide funding support.
Nancy Costello's excitement is palpable as a suspect utters a revealing statement, though its exact contents remain unknown. Michael toils another day in the meat shop, obedient to his boss's orders. It is here that Jimmy breaks the news about Charlie and the waterfront deal to him. Just before Jimmy's arrival, Fia too arrives, seeking a connection with Michael. However, he brushes her off, mindful of Jimmy's warning from the previous episode.
Carmine and Gina share a tender moment, with Gina confiding in her father about the strains in her marriage to Jimmy. She reveals that a part of her died with Rocco's demise. Carmine soothes her concerns, urging her to persevere through the difficulties of her marriage, echoing his own experience with Gina's mother.
Carlo confides in Fia, declaring that she is the strongest member of the family. He compares himself to their parents, acknowledging that Fia possesses a unique resilience that will carry her through this trying time. Elsewhere, Little Mo learns that Eugene has returned with the money. Monique is furious with Little Mo, but her anger is overshadowed by the presence of Roderick, who has followed them and is now parked outside. Monique offers to repay the money and take the drugs off Roderick's hands, pleading for an advance and a loan to tide them over.
He hesitated, yet they were willing to embrace the terms of the agreement, contingent upon Monique's payment of a substantial interest. Little Mo admonished Eugene for his folly in joining them, but Eugene remained steadfast in his loyalty. Monique was prepared to forgive Eugene, but Little Mo was another matter. Janelle, Monique's singer girlfriend, was distraught to see Little Mo in handcuffs and confronted Monique. They reconciled, agreeing to keep their business dealings separate from their personal relationship.
Olivia encountered Nancy again, but the specific revelation remained a mystery. Michael met with Charlie, attempting to persuade him to award the deal to Jimmy. Charlie refused to budge, prompting Michael to reveal the truth about the federal investigation. Charlie felt betrayed, and Michael confessed further that he had confessed to Nancy the night of Adam's death, even revealing Charlie's involvement in disposing of the car. Charlie angrily dismissed Michael, ordering him to stay away.
At a family lunch, Jimmy and Gina expressed their desire for Rocco to be baptized, with Gina agreeing on the condition that Jimmy appoint Carlo as his godfather. Monique inquired about Eugene's life in Houston and, upon assessing his promising future there, arranged for him to be driven back the following morning. She dismissed Little Mo, declaring him no longer relevant, and ordered her men to beat him and abandon him in an alley.
Jimmy met with Charlie to discuss the deal, but the Mayor refused to accept it in its current form. He renegotiated the terms, introducing a welfare component that was a key promise during his election campaign. Jimmy acquiesced to the Mayor's demands, but was surprised when Charlie declared that he could never own the waterfront land. They shook hands, sealing the agreement. It then transpired that the Mayor had struck a deal with Olivia, and awarding the deal to Jimmy had been their plan all along.
The following morning, Olivia visited Michael. She announced another task for him, but Michael made it clear that he would not be involved. She summoned Nancy, who arrived to arrest Michael. The revelation was shocking: it concerned the murder of Michael's wife. Nancy grilled him about his whereabouts that fateful night, leaving the question hanging - could he have been involved in her death as well?
