Rattus Rattus sees the Donovan family coming out on top, and perhaps more in-tune and powerful than ever.
The road to that conclusion is by no means easy though.
A dream sequence at the start of the episode essentially promises death and destruction.

The whole Donovan family sits in a church at a funeral.
Is this a foreshadowing of things to come in the season finale?
Is Ray doomed to be surrounded by death?
Things arent even looking good for Ray outside of the dream sequence.
In the real world, the FBI has cleared out his office and obtained all of his files.
Barnes calls it a Lollapalooza of celebrity scandals and cover-ups.
Plus, you know, Rays facing a long time in prison.
Of course theres an out though.
Barnes wants Sonia and Ray to work together to get back in Dmitris good graces.
At least thats the idea.
Surprisingly, Dmitri is very open to Sonia coming back to work for him.
But, we know hes not a warm and forgiving man, and Ray knows this, too.
That may be conflict on the horizon, but theres also some good going around in Rattus Rattus.
For one, Bridget finds out that shes been accepted to NYU.
A college education is great, but getting away from her disastrous, dysfunctional family is even better.
Dont waste this opportunity, Bridget!
Then theres Terry, who continues to be the only truly likable member of the Donovan family.
Thats the good stuff, so you know the bad is right around the corner.
Abby doesnt have that kind of money, but the promise of some security for her kids is tempting.
The man examines the painting and offers up $10,000 for it.
Mickey wants $60,000.
When the man opens up the back of the painting, he bumps his offer up to $50,000.
Because theres all sorts of drugs stashed behind the painting.
Their contact in the morgue has called them in.
Sonia Kovitsky is dead, her body showing two bullet holes in her head.
Ray heads back home and is confronted by Mickey and the painting full of drugs.
He has an idea.
Still, its hard not to chuckle at the scene where the whole family listens to Rays plan.
Of course, Barnes has no choice but to let Ray do his thing.
So, the Donovans go out on top yet again, but this time things are a bit different.
Are we seeing the rise of a criminal family?
Are the Donovans about to get more power hungry?
Will they work together again in the future?
