Walking After Midnight
Nina Valera systematically absorbs Carmine's routes and begins moving Bellotti-held territory into Valera Holdings. She stages a confrontation by sending a Valera truck deliberately into Bellotti territory, triggering a warehouse shootout that kills two and wounds Mick. Carla contacts Elena, who is raiding a Valera facility right now, and anonymously points her to Valera Logistics. Vincent and Nina meet for coffee where she proposes a truce, but Carla realizes the meeting was an inventory of what the Bellottis still hold rather than a genuine offer. Vincent calls Mick and tells him Valera is going to have Tara killed. Mick urgently calls Tara and tells her to wait at the apartment. He speeds toward the house. Tara is found shot dead in her apartment, with one clean wound, by Mick, who finds her on the floor and holds her. Elena arrives and they have a devastating argument before he breaks down and she pulls him in.
