Reading Palms. Tina sits with her 14-year-old granddaughter Amanda. "You're 14," she tells her. "Two years from now, you're gonna get married. It's our custom." Along with marrying young, it's expected that Romani women work as psychic healers. "You're gonna help others. Like a doctor. So I want you to learn this. I demand it."

Nicky confronts Bobby about raising his youngest daughters outside of the family's traditional ways. "No, let me finish, then I'll let you finish. Our father ain't here. He's not feeling good. And I'm letting you know right now, what you're trying to do ain't happening."
During the family anniversary party, Bobby reflects on his parenting over the years. "I was very young when I had Sable. I was only 17. I never gave her any options to be anything but Rom. I feel... I feel that was a mistake. And I'm not sure I want to do that for Amanda and Vivian."
It's Poker Night for the Johns brothers, when, according to Bobby, "we put our differences aside and come together as brothers." Still, when you get these five brothers together at the card table, tensions inevitably flare.
