Plot Overview

Torello frets about the safety of a fellow Federal agent who's posing as a high roller to infiltrate Luca's casino. The bigger problem for him, though, is in his personal life...the new lady in his life is Lisa Altman, ex-wife of Abrams's assistant. While he insists that he's OK with Mike dating his former wife, he's really very upset about it inside. Steve Altman really goes out of control when Lisa reveals to Mike something in her daughter's diary--Steve has been raping the girl for the past five years. This creates friction between Torello and Altman, ultimately leading to a situation where Torello's friend Claymore almost has his cover blown, and also pushes the two men closer to a showdown.
