With things appearing to be ramping up for the worse, the Mayor's luck may be turning for the better when the Coroner's Office discovers evidence that points towards the fire notice having been planted at the grow-op site.

Dominic also looks for help on Roger Woo's racetrack, and confronts Manning over his potential lawsuit with Pacific Com.
