BROTHERHOODS1, E9
Ecclesiastes 7:2
A bus loaded with people from The Hill crashes while returning from a Patriots' game. The accident is caused by a suicide jumper leaping from a highway overpass. The jumper was Freddie Cork’s oldest son Ricky. Freddie enlists Tommy in his effort to get Ricky a proper Catholic funeral. Michael discovers that Ricky was in the closet. He uses this information to manipulate Freddie, who in a rage kills Ricky’s gay lover. Among the dead is Carl Hobbs, Eileen’s erstwhile lover, and Leanne Trio, Marty Trio’s wife. Carl’s death makes Eileen want to atone for her sins. Leanne’s death convinces Marty that he should turn state’s evidence.
