The Ripple Effect

Karen und Mack haben ihre Nachbarn Val, Danny, Frank und Pat zum Abendessen eingeladen. Die ganze Gesellschaft ist äußerst nervös, denn sie alle lernen zum ersten Mal Vals neuen Ehemann Danny kennen. Währenddessen versucht Greg weiterhin, die Umstände der Ermordung seiner Tochter aufzuklären.

Greg discovers that Mary Francis had been part of a subversive group, and used his computer to look up shipments from Oakman Industries to "Monbasa" over the past two years. Val brings Danny to meet the neighbors. He charms them all except for Karen, who "knows" that Gary is right about him. Gary and Amanda sleep together and she moves to Phoenix to start her life over. Paige breaks up with Tom when he lies to her. Mac figures out that Tom is a "dirty" cop who works for Oakman. Oakman tells Tom he has one last job for him. Harold empties Olivia's bank account to pay his bookie and goes to Florida. He leaves a note telling her to apologize to Michael and for her to have a nice life. Greg is shot.
