It's pretty clear Sonny is bored. He went legit but worries he'll become "Mr. Kate Howard." Enter a blonde attorney who asks Sonny to lunch with her boss, Andre Karpov -- as in, the Russian mob boss. Max, who now works for Sonny, is a little apprehensive as Sonny's like, sure, why not, I'll meet with Karpov.
At lunch, Karpov tempts Sonny with re-entry into the business. Sonny will consider the offer on one condition: Their dealings will not interfere with his old organization (aka Jason's). They shake hands as Claudia watches. Later, Claudia visits Sonny to warn him about Karpov.
Speaking of which ... Claudia agrees to have lunch with Carly, who has a business proposition: Buy out Jax's shares in Crimson. Claudia laughs: What's the incentive for her? Jax, however, isn't laughing when he learns of Carly's plan. He puts her in her place, reminding her that any business with Claudia will put him under investigation, especially since he pleaded "no contest" to RICO charges to save his dad and Jerry.
Jax goes to Kate to tell her about Carly's latest plan. Kate's fed up and threatens to sue Jax for breach of contract if he sells. Jax is also fed up and warns Kate to back off. Later, Kate tells Clarice to schedule a distribution meeting, but don't tell Jax about it. She plans to pin the blame on Carly.
