Jane and Lisbon visit Moss and Jane devises a plan to bring Sue Overton (of the Overtons) and Beltran (of the Lo Ryders) to the gym for a sit down and they realise that the misunderstanding and Huff's killing was due to Moss who wanted the two gangs to kill each other. Moss makes a run for it and Rigsby chases him and is forced to shoot him dead. LaRoche concludes that Rigsby acted appropriately but it was because of Jane's plan to hold the meeting in a remote place.
