- "Ray Donovan" - "Twerk" - July 21, 2013
Ray drives looking at the fax of the dead priest. He arrives to a quiet home. He looks at Bridget's family tree on the table. She got a B-, told it was too vague. He sees a picture of Bridget with Mickey and hardens his face. Abby comes in and is angry that Ray's been gone for five days and won't even talk to her.
As he packs a bag of new clothes and drops his dirty laundry, she defends hanging out with Mickey as a good day, good for the kids. He hands her some money saying Ezra's party is tonight and he wants to see her there and to buy herself something nice. She yells that he's treating her like a whore and throws her shows at him as he leaves.
As he does he goes to the neighbor's house which is always pumping loud rap music. He kicks the door down and unplugs the guy's speakers. A kid in the living room informs him this is a bad idea. He's confronted by a guy with a sword who wants to know who he is. When he says he's Ray Donovan the guy freaks out and treats him like a celebrity saying De'onte told him all about him. Ray says De'Onte talks to much and leaves but the guy wants to hire him to emancipate the kid who can sing and rap. Ray tells him to call Lee Drexler and to keep the music down.
Mickey is mad Bunchy has no "real" porn. He says he's a sexual anorexic. Mickey says they'll fix that. Ray calls and says it's time for him to pick up his check and fix "that other thing." Ray overhears Mickey in the background. On Bunchy's fridge is the picture of Mickey and the actor John.
We go back to St. Josephine's Church in Boston. A man prays. Avi watches him. The man sees Avi watching him. He calls Ray and says he set up a meet with the guy. Ezra calls Ray and says they have a problem.
Lena is listening in to a bug of people sleeping with each other. A woman calls and says she's lonely and Lena tells her to buy a cat.
Daryll works out in the ring, still a little sore. Mickey asks after his mother and her sweet black ass. The boxing manager notes that Daryll can't punch, move, or think: a triple threat. Ray comes to pick up Bunchy he notes that Daryll is going too hard on Terry, who ends up getting injured.
Abby donates a bunch of Ray's clothes to St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop. He notes that they are expensive and new. As she leaves she sees a "Jesus Forgives" sign and hurries out.
Avi meets with the guy who drove Mickey from prison to the church to kill the priest to his motel after he picked him up from prison. Avi tells him Mickey killed a priest and should go to the cops. The guy notes he'd be an accomplice and wonders why he should take that risk. Avi writes down a number on a napkin. The guy puts the napkin in his pocket.
The nurse massages Terry's shoulder, she also brought him drugs. Mickey wants to know if he did this to Terry, by keeping him in the game too long. The nurse says no one knows why it happens, there are many reasons. Mickey notes it must make masturbating easier. She asks him to leave and asks Terry if he's for real. Terry apologizes for him. She tries to keep hitting on Terry but he's very abrupt with her instead of warm. She leaves and tells Ray that he'll be fine but is a stubborn bastard.
Ray and Bunchy talk about picking up his check. He calls it dirty money that's bankrupting the church. Mickey walks by them and tells Ray to stop taking himself seriously. Ray informs him that he killed the wrong priest, he killed the guy's brother. Mickey says he doesn't care, because if he didn't molest Bunchy he molested someone. Bunchy begs off going with Ray to pick up the check in favor of going to his support group with Mickey who says he's there to support his son. Bunchy notes that Ray has never gone with him even though he's asked him.
Ray arrives at Ezra's office, he's very agitated. Ezra says "the Golem has arrived," that Mickey has called three times. Lee enters, excited that Ray's neighbor, a famous rapper and his kid who will be the next Justin Bieber want to work with them but they have to emancipate the kid. (He calls it "buying" him.)
Mickey and Bunchy attend the support group. One man blames his family for letting it happen for being scared of the church. Mickey says its time to lighten things up and he tells a totally inappropriate pedophile joke but he does make a few guys laugh.
Ray goes to see the kid's mom in Compton. Lena calls and he tells her to check into the background of his neighbor the rapper "Recon" to see if he's ever hurt a kid. He also tells her to tell Avi to do what it takes to get the guy in Boston to play ball. He then talks to Terry and tells him he doesn't have to pay him back for the nurse but to ask her out instead since she likes him.
Abby melts down in yoga, saying she has been a terrible person and leaves.
Mickey continues to stir shit up at Bunchy's support group. Someone asks him to leave. Mickey leaves and wants Bunchy to go too. Bunchy stays and Mickey says he understands it's his "thing." Mickey leaves and invites them all to the gym to be toughened up. After he leaves the group asks Bunchy how he is. He says not good. He doesn't want to pick up his check.
Bridget calls Ray while he's driving and asks when he's coming home. He says soon and that he loves her. The young singer/rapper kid from across the street comes up to her in a golf cart and starts flirting with her. His name is Marvin Gaye Washington.
Ray talks to Marvin's mom. She protests that she needs to get her boy back. She's clearly a drug addict, as is the guy who lives with her. They have a nice room set up for Marvin. There was clearly a time when she was better. She used to snig back up for Aretha Franklin. She says asking someone to give up their kid for money, even a lot of money, she doesn't know how that gets arranged. He says a signature on a piece of paper. She admits she is deep in her addiction and wonders how she can raise a child. Ray leaves the paperwork.
Abby picks up Ray's suits and leaves the wad of cash he handed her that morning which the priest says is two or three thousand dollars. She leaves.
Mickey heads to the library and buys a kid off a computer. He looks at a twerk video. When a kid next to him looks at him, he says he's an ass man. A man in the distance looks at him disapprovingly.
Ezra is in a meeting when he gets a call from Mickey who taunts him by just playing the music from the twerk video.
Marvin reads his rap to Bridget and she's impressed. He says his life is inspiring. She says hers is boring. Abby comes home and is nervous about Marvin since he lives in the house where they play the loud music. Bridget asks after Ray and why he doesn't sleep there anymore. Marvin helps with the groceries and charms Abby.
Bunchy picks up his check for 1.4 million, the settlement from the church. Ray is his power of attorney and will look after the money. Bunchy asks the lawyer if he has to sign the power of attorney to Ray to get the check. The lawyer says no. Bunchy grabs the check. Ray asks the lawyer to leave and they fight about not being able to handle the money. Bunchy says he doesn't need Ray's help anymore. Ray says Mickey will not look after him. Bunchy says they owe him. Ray says they don't owe him anything. Bunchy asks if Ray beat up Daryll. Ray says he had someone else do it and to ask Mickey why. Ray begs him to let him help him and it's for his own good. Bunchy leaves.
Mickey reads Moby Dick-- aloud to himself-- in the library. The man looking at him from a distance comes to sit with him. Turns out he's the guy that got Mickey out of prison, he's an FBI agent. And it turns out that Mickey was a snitch. But the FBI wants more since Mickey didn't help them catch the main guy, Sully. The guy tells him that he knows what he's been up to and slides Mickey an envelope of money. Mickey says it's not enough and there should be more next time. The guy says he'll be in touch.
Avi calls Ray and tells him that their guy in Boston will ID Mickey for 50,000 dollars. Lena calls in and says Recon checked out, he's not a child molester.
Abby sit and smokes. Bridget arrives to tell her there's a limo waiting for her downstairs. She is not dressed for Ezra's party.
Ray enters the party, it's quite a gala affair. He goes out to meet Recon in his limo. Ray says they need to sort some things out to get the kid. Ray asks if he's ever been a father and he says no. Ray goes to leave. Ray asks what Recon wants. Ray tells him the kid has to stay in school and off drugs and that no one messes around with him. Recon seems happy that he's going to be a father.
Ray heads back into the party and sees Ezra's mistress. Ezra is looking at the mock up of the building, an ovarian cancer center he wants to build in honor of his late wife. Ezra is freaked that Mickey called him again. Ray tells Ezra to trust him.
Abby shows up in a beautiful red dress. He tells her she looks nice.
Ezra starts giving his speech about his late wife and his drunk mistress starts mouthing off. Abby goes to escort her out. Ezra starts getting flustered, we see that he sees Mickey out of the corner of his eye. He says he sees this building as his legacy and starts babbling about the bad things he's done. Ray takes off after Mickey as Lee saves Ezra. Mickey is gone. Ezra's mistress is puking at the side of the building and Abby is helping her. Mickey is gone.
Terry meets the nurse at a diner to tell her that he's going to pay Ray back and he takes care of himself. He's very brusque. She tries to soften him up. It's very difficult. She tries to explain he's doing it wrong he asks if she likes spaghetti and she says sure. He walks away with a big smile.
Avi calls Ray and tells him it's done, the guy is giving his statement and Mickey will go back to prison.

The FBI goes into abasement office somewhere and very meticulously lays out a beer his gun, and his laptop. He drinks the beer and looks at the pictures of criminals on his wall. Many have red X's through their faces on the left side nad on the right he has pictures of Mickey, Ezra, Ray, Avi, Lee and others as if they are suspects.
