Ryan and the Gang Task Force bring a Colombian snitch to Federal Court to testify, but are ambushed en route. Ryan is torn between his Task Force duties and giving up the snitch's location to help Javier and the Acosta family go legit.

The Gang Task Force discovers a sex-trafficking ring run by a Russian mafia family, which eventually leads them to a gruesome discovery. Ryan is faced with a difficult decision when he moves to put the gang's leader behind bars, but learns that doing so will significantly delay Javier's plans to get his family on a better track.

With Daniel held hostage and the clock ticking, Ryan engages in a dangerous heist to steal back the confiscated fishscale.

Trouble for the Task Force stems from a change in California's "Three Strikes" law. Meanwhile, Silvia's visit to Ryan is observed by Jessica; and Carlos reaches the point of no return in his plan to seize power from Javier as the leader of Los Angelicos.

Tio Gordo kills a Meta rival in retaliation after an explosion rocks a Los Angelicos festival, and the gang's leader demands "an eye for eye" from Javier to even the score. Meanwhile, Jessica shares information with Carter about the woman she saw at Ryan's home.
