"If that's what you want, I told you I wouldn't fight you," Jason says. Liz thanks him and leaves.

She has come to say that Michael would like to come to the funeral and she thinks it would be a good thing for all involved.

Jax has arranged for Mayor Floyd and Ric to meet him at the PCPD. He tells them both that they will be out of a job if they don't drop Molly's custody fight and the drug charges against Alexis.
