New players will come onto the scene who try to help heal the family and quiet the commotion. Inroads are fashioned, but will their efforts provide success and security for the Simkovits clan? Will Johnny clean up his ways, becoming an upstanding husband, father, and businessman? Or will the family suffer more losses through Johnny’s unashamed shenanigans, hurtful ways, and blatant trickery? I think you might guess the answer.

More twists and turns, ups and downs, and ins and outs will emerge regarding Johnny's legacy, both onshore and offshore. See what happens as the family monarch gradually loses his faculties after surviving a serious hit to his health. Watch as Johnny undergoes a falling out with his third wife, and how he mismanages his money over his waning years. Can his sons reign in, mitigate, and overcome their father's flagrant falls and foolish failures?

Both soft landings and hard endings will culminate with different members of Harvy's family. Experience the conclusion of Johnny Simkovits's unabashed straying with sordid people, and learn about the disposition of his legitimate holdings and clandestine empire. Most importantly, will Harvy and his brother be able to put their dad's distasteful dealings behind them, transcend their father's legacy and family history, and come into their rightful own as sons of Johnny?
