Barry is practicing with Sally when Gene informs the class about Ryan Madison's death, devastating them. Gene tells them that they should use their grief for their acting methods, letting them take the day off. Instead, the class decides to plan an on-stage memorial for Ryan, with each one acting a scene that makes them remember him. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating Ryan's death, discovering the lipstick camera. However, they fail to get a lead as they don't know how it works, which frustrates Detective Janice Moss.
Barry visits Fuches in his hotel room, where Fuches is mad about the Chechens' attempt to kill Barry. Barry wants Fuches out of town but Fuches wants both of them to go to war against them. Barry partly leaves to answer a call from Sally, who asks him to act with her a scene from Doubt, which he accepts. However, while Barry was on the phone, Chechen henchmen arrived and brutally attack Fuches and then kidnap both of them.
Barry and Fuches are brought before Hank and Pazar, who is mad that Barry killed one of his men and wants him to kill an informant for him. Barry refuses, even when the Chechens start torturing Fuches by tooth-filing. Barry reluctantly accepts, but the Chechens will keep Fuches until he completes the job. That night at the memorial, Barry and Sally prepare for their scene, where Barry realizes that their piece was the last one that Sally and Ryan performed together in class.
At the memorial, Barry is informed that his target is named Paco Zambrana and is given his address. Before their performance, Ryan's father, George, delivers a speech where he tearfully thanks them for their commitment and breaking down by questioning who would do this to his son. The speech heavily impacts Barry, who storms out as he feels affected by realizing the damage he inflicted on Ryan's father. Sally consoles him and decide to cancel their performance. The bar then places an "In Memoriam" plaque of Ryan to honor him. Barry then accompanies Sally home, who suddenly says they should have sex but Barry declines, which surprises her. As Barry leaves, a Chechen is seen taking pictures of Sally.
