Plot Overview

The Montecito has a new owner as it prepares to re-open, Monica Mancuso, the wife of a billionaire who recently died. Monica goes to Danny to try and convince him to come back to work, but he is more interested in maintaining his father's construction company. Instead Ed goes to Danny himself and convinces him to come back. From there Danny is in charge of bringing the rest of the team together. This proves to be much more difficult. Delinda doesn't want to come back because of her strained relationship with her father, and Mary is starting her new life of marriage. Sam is convinced to rejoin the team when Monica steals her customers away.

Ed has been reading in the paper about casino robberies and thinks the Montecito is next on the list. The others think he's crazy, the casinos that had been hit were small-time indian casinos, none had the security system of the Montecito.
