- "Ray Donovan" - "Black Cadillac" - July 21, 2013
Ray is having a very bad dream. He's looking out a window and snow appears to falling in California. While behind him on his bed he sees Mickey having sex with one woman and then his wife. He wakes with a start. He looks out the window and sees Marvin Gaye riding his golf cart.
He gets a call that the guy he picked has picked Mickey out of a line-up and the cops will be coming to get him. He calls Avi and asks him to tail Mickey.
Mickey drags Bunchy and Daryll to Palm Springs to see Daryll's mother. On the drive Daryll plays some music he recorded as a teenager. It's terrible and Bunchy tells him, jealous that Mickey seems to favor Daryll and Daryll's mom over him.
It also turns out to be family day at a swanky private school, Bel Air Academy, Abby wants to get the kids into. Ray forgot and tries to beg off but Abby forces him. Avi informs Ray that Mickey's on the move with Bunchy and Daryll.
As they're leaving Marvin Gaye is at the door asking if Ray has bought him yet. Ray is annoyed. In the car Abby sings Marvin Gaye songs and jokes with the kids. She's nervous about the kids getting into the school.
Terry arrives at the gym and bickers with his manager who is sick of being broke because the boxers they sign or no good. He's got his spaghetti fixings and the manager points out that he won't get laid using sauce from a jar, he has to make it from stretch.
Mickey, Bunchy, and Daryll arrive at his mom's swanky pad. The FBI guy Van Miller calls Mickey and says he needs to call him when he leaves town. Mickey blows him off. Avi keeps watch on them and takes photos. Daryll's stepdad, a movie producer in the '80s answers the door and looks annoyed. Mickey thanks him for taking care of Daryll while he was in prison. His mom Claudette, however, looks happy to see Mickey.
The Donovans arrive at he academy and run into Stu shows son attends the school. He has his son Jamie come over and give them a tour. He pulls Ray aside and that he's still having sex with the actress and she's crazy and she broke into his house and left a note in the house and freaked out his wife. Stu wants him to take care of it but Ray says he's not working today.
They attend a super boring orientation. Abby is very excited. A man inside flips him off. Ray gets a message and Abby is annoyed. It's Avi who reports in about Mickey and the gang. Ray says they need Mickey back in L.A. to serve the arrest warrant.
In Palm Springs the boys bicker on the couch as Mickey chats with the snobby producer Alan. Mickey intercepts Bunchy's drink since he's sober. They toast to Mickey's new life and freedom. Claudette smiles at him.
Conor brags about knowing Tommy Wheeler in front of some other boys during orientation and shows him text messages they exchange and they dare him to call him. He calls him on speaker and shows off. Stu's son Jamie says Wheeler is a total perv who wants to sleep with him. The other boys laugh at him.
In a meeting about curriculum, Ray gets messages from Avi. Abby is annoyed.
Bridget hangs out with some bitchy girls to get her own orientation, they point out if she came there she could reinvent herself and be anyone.
Bunchy coaches some men at the gym and the manager gives him some of his homemade sauce to help him get laid. Bunchy says it's good but is grumpy about it.
Terry goofs around in Alan and Claudette's pool and splashes Daryll who gets angry. He pushes Daryll in the pool and they fight in the water. The fight turns playful.
Mickey and Alan circle each other. Mickey says he's got a great idea for a movie and tells him his story. Alan says he knows all about Boston, the money Mickey gave Claudette, and where he got it. He says he'll pay him back and he needs to move on. Mickey says he isn't there for the money. He clearly wants Claudette. He shows her a picture of Ray's family and puts his hand on her knee.
Lena listens into some folks having sex. They bang the wall so hard the wire recording them behind the painting falls out. The woman sees it and freaks. Lena hears that and calls Ray. His phone rings and Abby tells him to turn it off. They flirt in the lunch line at school like they're back in high school.
The guy who flipped him off comes over and calls him "errand boy for Ezra Goldman." He asks if he's bringing his kids around to extort the other kids. Abby yells at him and Ray tries to cool her down. Ray tries to tell the guy that he's being nice because they're in a nice place. The guy says it doesn't work like that here and you can't just threaten people. Ray takes a call and Stu comes over and says that his therapist says he should apologize to her. He tells her that Ray did not sleep with his girlfriend and he was acting out his issues and he apologizes Abby accepts his apology. He says he'll put in a good word for her kids to make sure things work out.
We cut to Ray in his car on the way to save the day for Lena. He arrives at the hotel. The guy she was sleeping with thinks he's security and is first surprised the whole room is wired and then that Ray knows where all the bugs are. Both the woman and the man try to attack him and Ray fights them both off. The woman confronts him in the hallway and scratches Ray's face until it's bloody, apologizes, and offers to pay.
Abby sits at the orientation alone, fuming.
Claudette takes Mickey to the garage and gives him his old black Cadillac. She kept it for him. It still runs and the trunk is full of black booty porn videos. They turn on the radio playing old soul music and start dancing in the garage. She tells him he saved her life and she owes him. He says he stole a half million for her and pisses off a lot of people and did what had to be done. He kisses her. She engages and then pulls back and says things have changed. He says alright, since she likes him and he's good to her. He slaps her butt. He thanks her for the car.
Conor is out kicking soccer balls with some boys when Jamie comes up and taunts him about Tom Wheeler. Conor sucker punches him from behind with a rock in his hand. Jamie calls over a teacher.
Ray enters the rest room and wipes off his scratched face. The guy who taunted him sees him and says he was just running his mouth and Ezra screwed him in his divorce. He's clearly scared of Ray now. Ray wifes off his wound and leaves. He still clearly has scratch marks on his face. The guy appears to think Abby did that to him.
Bridget plays a guitar in the music room. Ray walks in and hears her and admires it. He asks if she likes the place. She says she does. He won't explain what happens to his face. He then says it was a Bel Air cougar scratched him.
Stu and Jamie confront Conor and the Donovans. Conor claims he didn't do it. Ray says he's only asking once. Conor admits he did it and that Jamie is a jerk. They walk off.
Mickey, Bunchy, and Daryll have dinner and he says it means a lot to him that they came out with him. Terry produces a fancy bottle of cognac he stole from Alan. They all laugh and mock him and enjoy the cognac, including Bunchy. Mickey is tipsy and heads to the rest room. Van Miller is in the rest room and tells him he needs to cooperate. Van is actually flossing his teeth. Mickey blows him off again. He also confronts Mickey about killing the priest and asks if he wants to go back to prison. Van says he can take care of it but he has to work with him. Mickey asks what he wants. Van says he wants them "all"-- Ezra, Lee, and Ray.
On the way home Abby angrily asks what happened to his face. He says nothing. She can't believe he couldn't give her one freaking day. Conor asks if Tommy is really a pervert.
Terry and date eat their spaghetti.... in a corner of the gym. He apologizes for the smell. She says it doesn't bother her. She compliments how he looks and has to ask him to compliment her. She calls the food delicious and asks where he learned to cook. The manager drops a bucket in the back. Terry invites him, Potato Pie, to sit down. He admits to Frances that Potato Pie made the food. Potato Pie says Terry really likes her. He explains he got his name as a pie-loving kid. She compliments the food.
Mickey pulls up to a gay bar in his Cadillac. Terry and Daryll follow in their car and are now getting along famously and singing to his terrible music. They try to explain that they're not going in the bar and Mickey goes in by himself. Avi watches.
At home Abby asks Ray if he wants food. He does. His phone rings and everyone gets tense. He takes the call outside. The Boston cop who called him earlier tells him the case against Mickey has been shut down. (They don't know it but Van Miller took care of it.) He calls Avi and pulls the tail on Mickey.
Inside the bar Mickey dances alongside the many gay men and also does poppers on the dance floor. He's really getting down.
