Mayor Tom Kane uses his police contacts to set up Chicago Sentinel editor Sam Miller, filming him paying cash for information from Detective DiNovo. Kane waits until Miller publishes a piece suggesting that Kane was behind the death of Ezra Stone before leaking the footage. Kane has his operative the Grey Haired Man murdered to take the fall for the botched assassination attempt, which he did indeed carry out. He also makes sure a gun found in his apartment is a match for Stone's murder, making Miller's storyb seem ridiculous. Miller is fired from the Chicago Sentinel and asks his colleague Jackie Shope to feed the information he has gathered about the Mayor's illness to a reliable TV reporter. Miller bitterly warns Kitty O'Neill about his actions when confronting her about their failed relationship. State's Attorney Jeff Doyle uses the arrest for self promotion and forms a private alliance with now presumptive governor Ben Zajac against Kane. Doyle pushes O'Neill to realign herself with Kane. Kane is wary of rehiring her until she reveals that she is wearing a wire for Doyle. Kane then accepts her back as his chief of staff, seeing her as a useful double agent. Kitty warns him about Miller's awareness of his illness and he prepares to respond to the news going public. Meredith Kane is appointed to the city council and begins an affair with Vacarro, the shady entrepreneur backing the Gardens Casino project. Tom is furious when she is nowhere to be found. Ian Todd is frustrated by not being awarded the chief of staff job or the city council seat and more so when he is kept out of the loop during the crisis. Darius begins using heroin. Emma Kane gets let in to Ian's apartment and discovers that he is Kane's son, and her half-brother. Jackie backs out of breaking the story, fearing for her job and her life. Sam is devastated while Kane is relieved. He withholds Meredith's oxygen when she is having difficulty breathing and berates her for giving Vacarro access and power, he tells her that her mortality will always be tied to his after finally giving her the breathing aid.
