Piggy Cried All the Way Home

Frank continues to disappear from his job at random moments so he can go chase down Katia. He finally finds her on the good, old internet, working as a webcam sexpot out of a place in Canada. He tries contacting her online, but she freaks out and cuts him off. He takes this as a sign to keep pushing, so he has some techie nerd track down where the cams are hosted. He finds her while she's in the middle of a tampon run, and promises to take her back to Detroit and pay off the people she owes for her hooker visa. That's when she finally breaks it to him that their whole relationship was just a sham, that she was stringing him along for the money, and that her name isn't even Katia. He's so depressed about this that he heads straight back to Detroit and into Dani's bed.

Meanwhile, the investigation into Billy's death is drawing closer to Damon, who is already kind of falling apart after Michael's death. When Nick takes it upon himself to kill Poppa T, Damon realizes it's time to negotiate. He goes to Skelos and confesses everything he's done, from stealing the coke to killing Billy, and asks for protection for when Reverend Lowdown inevitably retaliates. Skelos more or less laughs in his face, so Damon blackmails him with info about the murder of a United Auto Worker rep. The end result is a sit-down with the interested parties, with Reverend Lowdown claiming ownership of the blind pig and Skelos taking over the International. So now Damon has no friend, no bar, no pig – no nothing. Lowdown even takes his deep fryers.

In the subplots, Dani continues to pursue the case because nobody is making a damned bit of sense, and Joe forks over a big wad of money so his sulky daughter can attend private school. The latter is almost certainly a seed planted to later grow into a big "you must be taking dirty money" tree to be harvested before season's end. Stay tuned for the full recap.
