SYNOPSIS:

The Family Business Series Bible THE BULLY: Lisa unknowingly sets up bond for a thug who used to torture Tony when he was younger. Now Tony must track down Vincent Demarco through the old neighborhood, giving Eddie a tour of his life prior to Lisa. It turns out Tony wasn’t always so tough and because of his very Catholic mother he refused to get involved in any of the illegal activity going on around him. In the meantime Frank has been complaining of stomach pain and trouble going to the bathroom and Lisa after checking the symptoms online has convinced herself that Frank has cancer and is trying to get him to submit to a colonoscopy. DEAL BREAKER: Tony and Eddie have to track down a wealthy ponsi scheme artist who’s bail was set at half a million dollars. Frank and Lisa have always fought over the danger of posting higher bonds they can’t afford to lose and Lisa posted this bond in secret. It’s up to Tony and Eddie to save the office before time runs out. Eddie is dealing with a new girlfriend who is intent on exploring more of Eddie sexually then he is comfortable with. He has to figure out a way to get her to stop trying to stick her finger in his ass or break up with her before she succeeds. OPEN SEASON: Tony and Eddie are in a race against two other teams of bounty hunters as the defendant they are looking for is wanted in several states. One team is technologically savvy while the other is two neo Nazi, psychopathic brothers in a van full of weapons and sex toys that they sell on the side to make extra money. Lisa feels insecure about not having any girlfriends and tries making friends with the woman who cuts her hair. The woman takes it the wrong way and thinks Lisa is interested in her and wants to hook up. This blows up in Lisa’s face when the woman and her live in girlfriend show up at the office ready to fight in what they think is a lover’s triangle. ROAD TRIP: Tony and Eddie have to go to Vegas, where they track down a defendant who skipped out on his bail. They actually catch him on the first day but Eddie convinces Tony to stay an additional day so they can enjoy Vegas. They cuff him in the room and go out for the night and when they return he is gone. This makes for a night of panicked searching as they try and find him before he can leave the city. Frank has a reunion with the guys he used to run around with when he was younger. They party hard all night and on the way home notice the oldest one of the bunch has actually died in the back seat of the car. They decide the best thing to do is drive him home and pretend he died in his sleep. It turns out he was living in an assisted living facility and they have to sneak past security and other residents to make the plan work.
