Gabi suggests that she call him so she does but gets his voicemail.

Chad is with Melanie at the Town Square. Melanie asks why Chad didn't answer the phone. Chad says he's a terrible liar and if he answered it then she would've known something was going on. Chad thanks Melanie for coming and keeping it between them as a man arrives in the distance with a gun in his pocket.

Sonny tells Arty that they have his back if he's in trouble. He tells Sonny that it's all of them not just him and ask about Chad. He tells Will to call Chad then grabs him and tells him if he doesn't find Chad, he could end up dead.

Chad states that the necklace is perfect. Melanie takes it off and gives it back to him as the man walks by and bumps Chad from behind.

Will tells Arty that he and Sonny are fine and nothing bad as happened. Sonny adds in that the gamblers are not just betting but fixing the games. Arty thinks shutting down their site may cost them their lives and thinks they already have Chad. He tells Will to try calling Chad so he does and Chad doesn't answer. Will says he's got their attention and asks Arty how bad it is.
