At Sonny’s place, he meets with Anna, who relays the news that Faison is dead. Sonny feels something else has brought her there. She wants to know Sonny’s plans for Henrik. Sonny thinks Henrik purposely kept Jason alive and away from his family to use him, but Anna points out they owe him for not killing Jason as Faison ordered. Sonny asks why she’s defending Henrik. Anna only wants to debrief him without Sonny and Jason’s involvement, so she orders him to stay out of it. Sonny realizes this is personal to her, and that she’s hiding something. She claims Faison terrorized her for her whole life, so she feels for Henrik and wants to offer him a path to a normal life. Sonny disagrees and won’t let Henrik go after Jason again. She warns him not to harm Henrik or make an enemy of her. After Anna leaves, Sonny gets a call from someone from his old neighborhood about his father.
