'All The Queen's Men': Madam's Secret Basement - Where Gunshots and Informants Collide!
Madam is shocked when she barges into Nurse Johnson's home only to see that her father, James, whom Fernando killed, is alive and well. As it turns out, Nurse Johnson didn't deliver James to Fernando but worked with James by switching him with another patient. James is a pimp, and he made Nurse Johnson his "Bottom B", so she was willing to do whatever he wanted. James says there will still be a funeral, and he plans to escape the country and play dead forever.
Madam, Blue, and Tommy try to anticipate The Concierge's next move. She suspects the Concierge will strike at James's funeral.
They finally meet with Detective Davis in an abandoned house. Davis has been suspended but has information for Madam, at a price. She says Madam's sister Carla is filing charges for the stabbing and that Casanova is not only still alive but has an informant at Club Eden. Madam confronts Tommy over allowing himself to be tricked by Big D, the informant who pretended to shoot and kill Casanova.
Madam congratulates Big D for stepping up by "killing" Casanova and offers him a promotion, to be discussed later in her office. If you've been watching this show long enough, you know Madam is taking him to the basement.
When Champ gets an alert from his home alarm, he and Trouble rush to his crib to see that the money's gone. They think Rayshon took it, but we all know Rayshon isn't that devious or smart. Rayshon calls them and says he's on the run to Alabama, believing he killed Jack Watson. Trouble says Jack is still alive, but that's not enough to convince Rayshon to return to work.
Of course, Madam is the one who stole the bag of money, and she wants to return it to Tandy. She needs Tandy and Jack Watson to remain in her pocket of influence so she can run Atlanta. If you remember, Jack is running for mayor. Another L for Trouble!
Fuego comes home to find live footage of Big D being questioned by Tommy and Madam in her secret basement room on his computer. She asks to look at the gun Big D used to kill Casanova. He insists the gun has special bullets that don't leave blood, and she shoots him in the leg to challenge his lie. Big D admits he's an informant, although not a cop.
When cops arrive outside of Eden looking for Madam, they hear the gunshot that rips through Big D's leg. Midnight goes inside to warn her. Madam turns herself over peacefully, as the cops have a warrant on her for the attempted murder of Carla.
