Plot summary
Willie Soke, out of prison and trying to kill himself, is interrupted by Thurman Merman, now 21 and working at a sandwich shop, who brings a package of cash from Marcus. Marcus, Willie's former partner, apologizes for their last job and offers him a score in Chicago worth millions. The target is a charity called Giving Way, and Marcus's contact is Sunny, Willie's estranged mother, who has early Parkinson's disease. Willie agrees to the job, though he and Marcus privately plan to shut Sunny out of the take. Forced into the Santa suit again, he collects donations for the charity.

- Shauna Cross said she only pictured Kathy Bates as Willie's mother once the idea to make the character the mom came up, and kept calling her "Kathy" while writing, before Bates was cast.
