Don Vanetti's mansion hosting a wedding between the Don's daughter Fio and a man named Ronaldo. But behind the scenes of this grand party, the family feels uneasy. Relations with the Orco family have been getting worse, and Vanno, in particular, can't restrain his anger after the death of his friend. Nero decides to form a plan to strike back at Fango - and he's recruiting Avilio to play the central role.

Avilio and Nero shake off the Orco family's assassin and continue to lie low, until Nero's regular call to Barbero reveals a new development in the conflict: Orco wants peace with the Vanetti family. Still, Barbero suggests that it might not be best for Nero to return to Lawless immediately, and tells Nero and Avilio to meet him at "the Lodge" in two days.

The Fango family has taken the place of the Orco family. Fango is grateful to Nero and Avilio for their hard work, and asks them to continue to work with him. But Nero is worried that Fango is going to use him and then kill him. It's then that Frate declares war on his brother, and things get to where there's no turning back. Nevertheless, Fio asks Ronaldo to make peace with Nero.

A hard-nosed prohibition agent, Delphy, is installed in Lawless. He claims he will cut out the mafia's power in the city, and begins clamping down on bars that sell bootleg liquor. Naturally, the Vanetti family considers him an unwelcome presence. While keeping one eye on Fango, Nero comes down hard against Defphy, and Avilio stands with him. But another man watches them with complicated feelings about the situation.
