Eventually they pull into a parking lot shared by a bank and a sub shop.

Before long, both men have the customers and employees locked in a supply room.

Mickey is kind of old school like that.

For Bunchy, that means suppressing his reservations and taking a shot on the storage unit deal.

Hes crippled with doubt after failing his Lucha audition, and now hes scrambling to prove himself.

Hes hoping a million-dollar deal will do just that.

Terrys distraction comes in the form of Damon.

Whatever does happen, its good to seeRay Donovantrying to flesh out some stories for Terry and Bunchy.

Theyve been relegated to the sidelines before, given stories that really only involve their romantic troubles.

Now theyre being pushed in different directions, and that should create meaningful conflict down the road.

A flashback tells us that Ray has been like this for a long time.

When he and Abby got the worst possible news from the oncologist, Ray refused to believe it.

Surprisingly enough, though, Sold isnt really about Ray.

His opportunity comes when Darryl is called to an emergency at Jay Whites house.

The Japanese mans head lies on the floor while Darryl pukes and Jay cries.

Then, he takes Jay out onto the water and gets him to dump the body parts overboard.

Mickey wants Jay to attach himself to the movie and get it made.

Ray Donovan: always hitting new moral lows.

Then theres Mickey, who gets a visit from a livid FBI Agent Frank.

Frank tells him that Mickey must kill Avi or everybody is going down for the murders of the Russians.

Ray has sold the house and is ready to move on.

How long that closure lasts, though, is a question that will linger in the weeks to come.
