We see D'Angelo and Stacks hatch the plan to get Joe Coffey comfortable and then spring it into action, then Gallus shows up. A furious Joe Coffey calls Stacks and D'Angelo the lowest forms of life he has ever meet, and while D'Angelo may be a free man, he will make D'Angelo he was back in a prison cell.
