He is later recognized around town by many admirers of his rant. Delmond's manager convinces him to play a New Orleans-focused tour, despite Delmond's reluctance. Toni finally gets official DNA test results that prove the prisoner using the name Daymo Brooks is not Daymo, but an accused murderer named Keevon White.

When Toni confronts the police lieutenant about his officers pawning Antoine’s trombone, he tells her about the huge issues he's facing with officer morale and says he can’t get upset about a trombone. Albert presses a city council member, Ron Singleton, about why the projects have been closed since Katrina despite incurring no serious damage, but Singleton says that reopening the projects isn't up to him. Davis enlists an all-star roster of local musicians to play for free on a recording of his anti-government anthem, "Shame, Shame, Shame."

New Year's Eve. Frustrated after a gig is cancelled, Davis reminisces about the old days in New Orleans with Janette, whose restaurant is having a quiet night due to her lack of supplies. The following morning they wake up together, Janette seemingly happy with this. Later, Davis discusses the legal possibilities of revitalizing the Rampart Street clubs with Toni. Albert continues to work on his costume, telling LaDonna he will have it finished for Mardi Gras, but as Delmond watches his father's health deteriorate he is not so certain he will be in a fit state to lead his tribe. Antoine is hired to coach an actor in how to pretend to play the trombone for a movie project, and questions the authenticity of this. Later, he runs into his missing pupil, Jennifer, on Bourbon Street, where he helps her see some music, and encourages her to continue playing. Terry Colson's precinct is investigated by the FBI, and he confronts his chief, telling him he will testify if he is called. The following day his car has been vandalized. Meanwhile, Annie, back in New Orleans continues to enjoy playing with local musicians.
