Tasha meets Silver to order Tariq’s birthday cake for the dinner. Silver is still trying to charm Tasha out of the hotel and into his house, but Tasha resists. During the dinner, Ghost is a no-show and doesn’t pick-up the cake while Tariq and Tasha text their problematic confidants: Kanan and Silver. Small talk about Tariq’s Choate experience lead Tommy to let Tariq drive his car as a birthday present. During the ride, Tommy compels Tariq to confess to snitching in order to save Dre’s life. Tommy explains the reasons why they wanted him dead, while Tariq saved his life because Dre delivered Ray Ray. With no Cake, Silver capes to the rescue and brings the cake to the party. The NYPD also crashes the party to ask for Tasha’s gun as part of the “ongoing investigation”. Silver goes into lawyer mode to protect Tasha, while Tasha informs Detective Leary she reported the gun as stolen. Silver doesn’t believe Tasha and wants the truth. Tasha lies and “admits” to killing Ray Ray, but Silver doesn’t believe her. Silver advises her to pick a side and let him know because if she protects Ghost, she’s headed to prison. Tariq tries to console his mom with no luck, which makes him wonder out loud whether Tasha would’ve preferred to lose him over Raina that night.

So she decides to make a deal with her personal devils. Angela organizes a meeting between herself, Proctor and Tommy to reveal the tracer on his car and offer him immunity in exchange for toppling the Jimenez cartel. Tommy won’t admit to being the Jimenez distributor (because he’s not, for a change) Tommy isn’t playing ball at first, but after a conversation with Teresi about the true definition of “ratting”, he decides to pay Angela a visit at her apartment.
