Toni composes a letter for Barbara, intending to send it to Webb Sutherland in Memphis. Vito stops by Martha's house and returns Mike's ring that Toni left in his apartment. Martha gives Vito an icy reception. John returns home, learns about the robbery, and criticizes Althea for letting Nick phone the police. After Althea goes to bed, John pays a visit to Nick's apartment and apologizes for Althea involving him in their problems. He further admits that Nick was right about it being uncomfortable with them all living in the same building. John says he's determined to do something to get them out of Nick's hair. Vito phones Nick and requests a meeting tomorrow at Hope Memorial. Martha advises Toni that she can close the door on Vito and her past now that she has Mike's ring again.
