The emergence of an evident and growing mafia control in the city is brought to light by the bloody episode of Frank's shooting. During a robbery ordered by Pete, in fact, police chief Frank Lewis is wounded by a bullet wound near his heart. The news puts the whole city in shock and blows up a real media case. Stuart himself, returning from London for a brief visit to Genoa City, decides to return to write an editorial on the Genoa City Chronicle to highlight the dangerous and bloody escalation. The investigation that follows the media case brings to light, in a short time, numerous episodes now linked to drug trafficking and the prostitution ring carried out by the criminal gangs of the city. Pete, who is furious with the perpetrators of the robbery for Frank's wounding, certainly does not like to have the spotlight turned against him; and the situation also makes Paul more and more stressed and anxious. Paul, though briefly, visits Frank secretly in the hospital, where he cries desperately. Frank, followed by Dr. David Edgeworth and in a coma for several days now, struggles tenaciously and continuously between life and death until he wakes up. A very happy Paul is thus able to visit a convalescent Frank, who is encouraging him not to give up. The situation seems to slowly improve, but soon a heart attack due to the worsening of the man makes him fall back into a coma. Paul is desperate, realizing that he is increasingly alone in his struggle. A new editorial by Stuart, which highlights Paul's connections with the underworld, makes the man furious, aware that he can certainly not respond to the accusations. Paul is afraid of dying or being left without witnesses who can one day make his family understand that he is on the side of justice; Cindy understands that Paul, without his family next door, is increasingly lonely and proposes to confess everything, even though he firmly refuses, as this could jeopardize his entire investigation.
