Hugh, 22, is bored of the work he does for Lance and Nevin. He meets a guy named Jimmie Crane, who convinces him to get into the weapons business. However, they need at least $10,000 to get started. To get the money, Jimmie and Hugh—with the help of a “stripper” named Sissy—start robbing small-town jewelry stores and pawn shops throughout the South. One job goes wrong, and the shop owner shoots Jimmie and Sissy dead. Hugh flees the scene and gets a job on a freighter bound for Europe; he stays away from Biloxi for six months. The FBI eventually comes through Biloxi with composite sketches of Jimmie, Sissy, and Hugh: The agents ask Fats if he knows any of the people depicted. Fats recognizes Hugh from one of the sketches but says nothing (out of loyalty to Lance).
It’s 1971, an election year. Jesse decides to pursue a second run for DA and announces his candidacy. Keith supports his father’s campaign. Jesse is more strategic with his campaign this time. He realizes that he’ll have a better chance of winning if he can get a third candidate to go up against Rex Dubisson, splitting the votes. Jesse convinces a woman named Egan Clement to run against him, telling her that he’ll appoint her as assistant DA if he wins.
