[edit] Plot synopsis
Duncan decides to take his baby and run, not only making trouble for Veronica, but bringing in the FBI as well. Veronica seems to help with the search, but she's really helping Duncan to cross the border. When Keith finds this out, he says he can no longer trust her. And Weevil and Logan are having some trust issues, too, as they can't figure out which PCHer is in league with the Fitzpatricks.
[edit] Arc significance
- Duncan kidnaps Meg's baby (her parents named her Faith, but Duncan later names her Lilly) and hides. Veronica plants evidence on a boat for the FBI to find and has a fake conversation with a recording of Duncan so that the FBI will go to Big Bear. Then Astrid, who is working with Veronica and Duncan, uses Veronica's credit card in Mexico, so Lamb will go there. Duncan hides in Lamb's trunk and successfully crosses the border, where he finds Vinnie Vanlowe, Astrid, and baby Lilly.
- Weevil and Logan are working together. They think one of the PCHers must have killed Felix and be in league with the Fitzpatricks, so they set up a scenario to find out who it is, but it doesn't work. However, Weevil finds out that Felix was dating Molly Fitzpatrick.
- Wallace left Chicago because he was in the car when his teammate Rashard Rucker accidentally ran over a wino. A reporter for the Chicago Statesman finds Wallace though.
