A late-night crime sheds unfavorable light on the Knick, forcing Robertson (Grainger Hines) to come up with hush money. Lucy goes to extremes to get drugs for an increasingly desperate Thackery, whose plea for an advance from a seller of patent medicines falls on deaf ears. Gallinger despairs as Eleanor's behavior becomes more erratic; Cornelia and Edwards (Andr� Holland) proffer different solutions to a shared dilemma.
