At trial, Davis testifies against Fredo, and Robinette and Stone cut a deal with Silky - who is prepared to tell the jury that Fredo planted the gun and then intimidated him into keeping quiet. But Fredo commits suicide before Silky can be called as a witness. Stone thinks that if Fredo had just admitted he wrongly thought Tommy was armed, instead of planing the gun, no jury would have convicted him. Greevey apologizes that the case was rough on Stone but says he had to do his best to keep other cops from making the same mistake as Fredo.

Officer Fredo Parisi and his partner Davis interrupt a drug deal between a group of young Black men. The suspects run and one of them, Tommy Richardson,
is accused of planting a gun on an unarmed African-American youth who shot and killed by Fredo. Fredo insists it was beloved by self-defense because Tommy pulled out a gun. But Tommy was popular in his community but evidence suggests and by all appearances a model citizen; no one who knew him can believe he'd try to shoot someone.

* AteHisGun: Mentioned by Schiff as Fredo's method of suicide.
* DrivenToSuicide: Fredo ultimately does this rather than be exposed at trial.
* DrugsAreEvil: The pastor of Tommy's church gives a sermon about this at the funeral.
* JustLikeRobinHood: Stone makes this comparison after learning that Tommy was selling drugs to help others in the impoverished local community.
* OutOfTheFryingPan: Tommy had a friend who wanted to quit sex work, so he hired her as a drug runner, but this just exposed her to a different set of risks.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Fredo is very racist against African-Americans.
* RhymesOnADime: The detectives try to question two girls who respond in rhyming freestyle rap.
* ScaryBlackMan: Fredo tries to portray Tommy as this. It doesn't hold up well since Tommy, a clean-cut, respectable honors student, was about as far from the trope as one gets.
