Episode 41 – The Queen of Spades
She Came Back. So Did the Kill Order.
In his sickroom, sutures tight, Jack watches the woman he buried step through the door—Katie, now Nancy, wearing their old ring and a new name. Hope sparks where scar tissue lives. But her connections run straight to Ace and Solitaire’s bloodline. His dog approves; his instincts don’t.
Minutes later, a hitter confesses a contract—signed, he swears, by Nancy. Sharks and piranha: another syndicate circling. Jack sets bait, plays loyalties he doesn’t believe in, and cracks a card cipher: crazy eight king. Thirteen days to a party full of faces and knives. Heal fast. Decide faster.
Episode 40 – The King of Spades
Alec’s luck has always come with strings attached—and this time, they might just tie him to his own downfall.
With a mangled hand and a debt to his past, Alec needs two things before Ace’s big party: a clean bill of health and a trustworthy ally. But in a city where loyalty is bought and sold faster than a hand of cards, trust is a luxury he can’t afford.
Enter Fredrick—a bruised, broad-shouldered ex-linebacker with secrets of his own. Together, they form an uneasy alliance, gambling on each other’s strength and the promise of a treasure that could change everything.
When a shady doctor and his too-perfect nurse blur the line between help and hustle, Alec realizes every deal has a catch—and every favor, a cost. As the countdown to Ace’s party ticks away, Alec must decide whether to play it safe or go all in on the riskiest hand of his life.
Because in this game, even the King of Spades can lose his crown.

New Men speak in hushed tones of treasures concealed within Boris's vest—a card and a ring—symbols pregnant with mystery and danger. To them, he's just a dog; to Jack, he's salvation.
