So, he tells them that there’s a man named Red Bull, who took that cocaine and is on the streets to sell them.
The duo gets to know about his whereabouts and reaches a party where Red Bull was going to give a portion of cocaine to some people. At the last moment, Stabler and Reggie reach their and threaten Red Bull’s partner to give the packet of cocaine she possesses or her friend will die. She reluctantly gives them the packet and it turns out that it is indeed their cocaine.
The Albanians are ready for the war and wanted to paint the streets with the blood of Marcie Killers, but suddenly, the plan changes when Jon Kosta (Michael Raymond-James) calls one of the leaders of the Albanian gangs and tells him to come home. As it turns out, he has also called the representatives of the Marcie Corporation at his home. One of them tells Kosta that Marcie doesn’t want to be against the Albanians instead, they want to work with them.
They join hands and announce a partnership. Meanwhile, Elliot is thinking of how to get out of there and give that information to his colleagues. Also, Kosta doesn’t like him. So, it seems all eyes will be on him.
