Walk on By
Carla meets Sean Daly at neutral ground and agrees to hand Boston backend access to Newark's campaign infrastructure, overruling Vincent and fracturing their alliance. Dominic, in Boston, is shown a non-prosecution framework that requires one name in exchange. Boston moves faster than anyone anticipated: consultants appear at City Hall, and men arrive at Vincent's bar to tell him his liquor distribution will be changing. Carla discovers her backend access has been expanded without her authorization, and then finds her name removed entirely as primary authorizer on the document. Elena and Maria identify Crowley's nonprofit as the one exploitable pressure point in the Boston structure. Dominic stops taking pills and sends a message on a burner. Sean calls Carla to thank her for her cooperation. She tells him this was not the deal. He tells her there was never one.
