The eleventh episode of "Bloodline" begins with Danny (Ben Mendelsohn) at a bar. A man we haven't met yet approaches him on behalf of Wayne Lowry and gives him a cell phone. This will be Danny's new contact, now that Rafi has been killed. Later – Eric (Jamie McShane) confides in Danny that he's horrified about how deep things have gotten. 

At home, Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz) confronts Danny, asking if he planned the attack with Eric. Danny indirectly admits that it was him, saying that "if it was me, I'm sorry," mocking Kevin for thinking that an apology was enough to smooth over his night with Chelsea (Chloë Sevigny).

John (Kyle Chandler) intercepts Carlos on his way to an AA meeting, demanding to know about everything that's been going on between him and Danny. Carlos leads John to the cocaine in the shed, and then John kicks him, threatening to kill him if he returns.

Kevin and Meg (Linda Cardellini) meet with John, and he fills them in on the entire Danny case. Meg rightly points out that even with John's connections, if they report everything, their business and family will be ruined, figuratively killing their mother. John reports most of what he knows to Clay (Bill Kelly), the DEA agent leading the case. However – he denies having ever talked to Danny about it.

Back at the hotel, John's daughter Jane (Taylor Rouviere) hangs out with Danny, after being forbidden to spend time with him. They even smoke cigarettes together for a while. Soon after, DEA agents take Danny away, while others investigate the shed. The cocaine is totally gone. 

Clay questions Meg about what she saw in the shed, so she explains that she saw what she assumed was cocaine, called her brother John, and had nothing else to do with it. At the same time – Kevin is shown loading all of the cocaine onto a boat in luggage bags. He finds a gun in one of the pockets.

The DEA release Danny, since they have nothing to technically hold him for. John leaves the station and calls Kevin. He tells him that everything is going according to plan and to just stay put and not do anything. Meg joins Kevin and they wait for John to arrive.

John stops by the shed first, where he finds Danny. With all of the cocaine missing, Danny is in huge trouble with not just the DEA but also with Wayne Lowry and his people. John suggests he skip town and, they have a brief, emotional conversation about Sarah, where blame is mutually placed, before John takes Danny to the bus station.

Then, John goes to the boatyard where Kevin and Meg are waiting. He tells them to just go, and he gets on the boat with all of the cocaine and drives away. When he gets home, he tells Diana that Danny is gone now, and that's all she needs to know. All the while – Lowry and Danny's new connection are waiting for him to turn up.

Danny leaves Eric a voicemail from the bus to tell him that he's gone "for real" and to say goodbye to Chelsea. He hallucinates a conversation with Sarah on the bus about his regrets. He says that he just wants his family to feel what he feels – "to know what it's like."

Some time later, everything seems back to normal with all of the Rayburns. Belle (Katie Finneran) visits Kevin to tell him that she's planning to move and get a new job. Marco (Enrique Diaz) confronts John about the case, knowing that there's more to the story. He understands why John would want to protect his family but thinks they need to do more to solve the Lowry case. 

Sally (Sissy Spacek), Meg, and Diana (Jacinda Barrett) go dress shopping, and Meg tells Diana that there might not even be a wedding. Jane is supposed to be there as well – but John forgot to pick her up. When Diana calls to remind him, he rushes to get her. One of her friends tells him that Jane has already been picked up by Danny and is currently smoking a cigarette on his boat. 

On the boat, Danny remembers how Sarah died; her arm got stuck between some coral when she was reaching for her dropped seahorse necklace, holding her down until she drowned. He and Jane hop into the water and goof around, dunking each other. 

John and Marco get on a boat themselves and search for Danny's boat but do not find it. They eventually get a call the boat has been found. Danny was spotted, but Jane was not. John goes home and gets a phone call from Danny.

On the phone, John asks Danny what he wants. He replies that he wants "just to be home." John storms through the house, searching for Jane and shouting at Danny. He burst outside to find Jane sitting happily on the back porch.

Danny says to John, "I bought her a present." Jane is wearing a seahorse necklace.
