Ray Donovan

Just as Ray Donovan's life begins to return to normal, the head of the Los Angeles FBI, Ed Cochran, learns that Ray and Mickey were part of the killing of Sully Sullivan and demands that Ray bring Mickey back from Mexico, where he is setting up a fight for Ray's half-brother, Daryll.

With her investigation in full swing, Kate zeroes in on Mickey. The appearance of Tiny, a former member of Sully's gang, jeopardizes Cochran's promising career.

It's Conor's birthday, and Abby and Ray both forgot. Conor demands a family party with Terry, Bunchy, and Mickey all in attendance, and tensions run high when the whole family comes together at the Donovan house. Meanwhile, Ashley's stalker is back, and her new love interest Steve Knight - a self-help guru whose psychological runarounds get under Ray's skin - orders Ray to get rid of him. Ray comes face-to-face with Cookie Brown when he shows up to take Bridget for a night out.

Peggy Shaughnessy plants a seed of doubt in Kate's mind about the story that she published; Kate reopens her investigation but is threatened by two Southie thugs on the street.
