They also learn through Mary that the Attorney General is also after Jimmy. Although Mary offers some protection specifically from the Attorney General, Jimmy still feels he needs to protect himself and moves Francine and Stella into Ronnie's apartment at the club.

7A Sweetheart Deal with the Devil
Jimmy is facing increasing pressure on all sides. He does end up selling many of his illegal businesses to Dante, placing all his eggs into the one basket called the Irish National Bank Bahamas Branch. Jimmy figures that if he needs to leave the country, all the other players in town will be gunning for such business anyway putting Ronnie in the middle, hence the reason for going more legitimate with the bank. The DEA is closing in on Jimmy, and Mary is unable to guarantee safety for him as the Attorney General, who is proceeding on extradition charges, is not answering her calls. Jimmy, who originally was thinking about a quick departure out of the country if either the DEA or the Attorney General were going to force him out, changes his mind and decides that no one is going to push him out of his homeland. However Mary manages to strike an eleventh hour deal with the Attorney General based on new information, namely that Evans is meeting with the Blackmire Group to arrange for money laundering services through Jimmy's bank. The deal Mary negotiates is that Jimmy will become a registered informant - which means that his identity will still remain confidential but he may be required to testify in the future - if he agrees to report all money movements of the Blackmire Group through the bank. Otherwise, Jimmy will face extradition. However Mary can't get through to Jimmy since a pissed-off Jimmy is not taking her calls. Mary decides the only way to get to Jimmy is to arrest him. The timing of the arrest coincides with the DEA ready to nab Jimmy. Desjardins learns however that the people purporting to be DEA are just bounty hunters who are trying to get Jimmy across the border for the DEA. Regardless, Mary and the police get to Jimmy first. Although not totally happy with the Attorney General's deal, Jimmy agrees. Thus the bounty hunters are left empty handed. Meanwhile, Julianna successfully infiltrates the Blackmire Group, and requires legitimate papers, including a Canadian passport, to continue with her ruse at Blackmire. Although Mary and Kiniski think that Julianna will run if given a passport, they also figure that her relationship with Browne at Blackmire is short term and that she will ultimately need her connections with CSIS again; therefore, Mary decides to issue her requested passport. And Hogarty comes back to talk to Jimmy about what he sees now as an unfair deal.
8Flipping the Script
The bounty hunters are still trying to nab Jimmy to take him to the US. They aren't actually bounty hunters as there is no longer any bounty on Jimmy's head. All Desjardins can find out is that they are working on a private contract. This coincides with rumors among the underworld and among the police/CSIS that Americans are moving in on the local drug trade. To stabilize the trade, Mary and Altman try and maneuver it so that Jimmy will sell his drug trade to both the Disciples and the Vietnamese, 50/50, which will be no easy task seeing as to the bad blood between the two. Based on surveillance however, Jimmy finds out that the "bounty hunters" aren't part of the American drug trade, but are somehow connected to the DEA, the nature of the connection he is yet unsure. Julianna gets deeper in with George Browne at Blackmire, almost as a renegade as she tells little to Mary before taking any action. She is trying to get the best deal for herself, playing Mary off Katarina. Mary and Kiniski decide they need to exert more control over Julianna, and Mary ultimately decides the best way is to have her on staff. With Blackmire, the FBI has been sharing intel with the CIA who asks Mary to cease her investigation since they are conducting one of their own, the nature of which they refuse to divulge to Mary. This information, although irksome to her, concerns Mary specifically for Julianna's safety. The deal between Blackmire and Jimmy's bank proceeds, this without Hogarty who has been permanently removed. Francine confronts Jimmy about Lorna, Francine's actions reflecting the depression she feels about the situation. Bob tells a dejected Lorna what's going on, Lorna who needs to leave for good.
9A Woman Inside
Duncan, one of Dante's men, is executed in a drive-by shooting. All indications point to the killers being the Americans who want to infiltrate the drug trade in Vancouver. Because of this killing and the possible instability in the drug trade otherwise, Mary urges Jimmy to broker the deal to sell his drug trade quickly to Dante and Phan, which will be no easy task seeing as to the bad blood between the two buyers. Jimmy manages to manipulate both buyers to accepting a deal. Francine walks out on Jimmy for good, taking Stella with her. She decides to enroll Stella at a boarding school under an assumed name. Because Francine has left Jimmy, Lorna reignites her relationship with Jimmy. But Francine doesn't go as far away as she says. Mary is receiving mounting pressure from Mallaby and the CIA to desist in her investigation of Blackmire. Although she tells both they she will desist, she continues the investigation due to the big payoff of information of Blackmire's money laundering through Jimmy. Jimmy is initially wary of working with the CIA but agrees if Mary can guarantee immunity from all prosecution for the rest of his life. Mary and Kiniski are also concerned about Julianna's safety from a security conscious Browne, who has fallen head over heels for Julianna. Unlike their knowledge of Jimmy, Mary and her gang are uncertain if Julianna is up for a long term game with Blackmire and if they do include her, they will need to build a tighter back story for her life.
10The Heat Is On
The turf war is elevating as one of Phan's men is found dead. Everybody suspects it is the Americans - fronted by Jordan and Raymond - who want to stir up the trade in Vancouver. Mary wants Jimmy to take quick action to calm things. He gets together with Phan and Dante to discuss strategy. Jimmy convinces them that retaliation is not the preferred action. Jimmy decides to bring the Americans, specifically one of their head men in the actual drug trade, Pete, in for a frank discussion. Altman learns from MI5 that Jordan specifically has done similar work before in Britain with seeming connections to the American military. Lorna is unnerved by Francine's visit, Francine who later tells Jimmy that she will not allow all she's worked for go to whoever Jimmy's latest bed partner. Julianna seems to relish her role as Mary's inside person with Blackmire and she provides valuable information regarding the company and Browne. However she is becoming reckless in her approach, which frightens both Mary and Kiniski. Browne wants to buy her contract from Katarina, marry her and provide her with a new identity. The CIA discovers the existence of Julianna in Browne's life and asks Mary to arrange for Julianna to become an informant for the CIA. Not telling the CIA that Julianna is already their informant, Mary decides to stage the recruiting of Julianna, telling her to say that she will do it but report only to Mary and CSIS. In doing so, Mary can control what information goes to the CIA. Julianna's willingness to do the job takes a 180 degree turn after Browne beats her up following an argument. Mary and Katarina need to talk her into continuing her mission despite her fragile state of mind. Jimmy learns more about Blackmire's banking through Evans. On the business side, Ronnie is worried that the bank may become a problem if they deal with a nefarious group such as Blackmire. Jimmy decides to send Coombs to the Bahamas to to oversee his interests in the bank.
11A Dark Alliance
Under surveillance, Browne admits to Julianna that Blackmire is a front for the CIA. Kiniski convinces Mary that it best to keep this information under wraps for the time being, but they decide to bring in Julianna for her safety. Julianna has other ideas as she tries to run when Mary's team attempts to bring her in. After they manage to bring her in, Julianna admits she just needed some down time alone without having to lie to anyone. After Mary determines that Julianna can continue with her job, they proceed with Katarina selling Julianna's contract to Browne. Mary does decide to tell Cleary about what she knows about Blackmire including involvement by individuals within the government, but does not divulge Julianna's identity. Altman learns of Desjardins' connection to Jimmy and turns Desjardins into working for the OCU against Jimmy. Jimmy brings in other big weed dealers in Vancouver to strategize on how to deal with the Americans. To show some muscle, they decide to freeze out the Americans. When Jimmy learns that the Americans are definitely connected to Jordan and the DEA, Jimmy escalates the conflict to an all out war. On personal fronts, Jimmy and Francine argue about Stella's schooling situation. And Ronnie drops an informational bombshell on Sweet.
12We Were Here Now We Disappear
Based on Mary's information regarding Blackmire, the Prime Minister's Office shows interest in the case, but Cleary wants to meet with Mary's informant - Julianna - to verify her credibility. Although Mary and Kiniski are wary about setting up such a meeting, they do so regardless, but do not make it face to face, and coach Julianna not to divulge the entire truth, especially her relationship with Browne. Following this meeting, Julianna can tell that Browne knows something and she needs to quickly get away. Mary realizes that she talked to the wrong people or person. Ronnie's cousin, Freddy - Jimmy's distributor in the east - is in Vancouver meeting with Dante and Phan about them taking over Jimmy's weed business. Because Jimmy has frozen out the Americans on the weed trade, the Americans have moved onto pushing high quality and cheap coke. The alliance of weed dealers decide to continue with this approach, thinking that it will either send the Americans packing or push the problem of their existence onto the local coke dealers. Jordan does not back down but rather brings reinforcements for some major action. Jordan does strike back, killing several men working within Jimmy's alliance. The alliance goes into lock-down mode - with the exception of Ronnie, who has to support Sweet in some issue with her pregnancy - while Jimmy tries to work things out with the Americans. He does come to an agreement with Pete. And although the OCU does manage to pick up Jordan, this does not stop a hit on one of the Vancouver weed kingpins.
