It's time for King Silas to sign the peace treaty with Gath, but the Gathian leader refuses to sign until he gets to talk to David, since he's responsible for the peace in the first place. Little does David know that Silas just ordered him assassinated as soon as the treaty is signed. David drops everything and runs to a dinner with the Gathians, where of course he charms the pants off everyone. Despite all that, the Gathians declare that the written version of the treaty isn't what they agreed to, and they refuse to sign.
David has a talk with the Good Rev about portents and signs and realizes that he should never have jumped when the King called. The King finds out that CrossGen has pulled all their money from the treasury, so he goes to visit Abaddon, a the former king of a territory Silas conquered. Old Abaddon has been in prison since, and Silas told everyone he was dead, but Abaddon also knows where his former kingdom's gold is hidden. Silas tells Abaddon that one of his loved ones is still alive in order to get the treasure out of him, which apparently works. Meanwhile, Queen Rose goes to tell her brother to cut the shit.
Disenchanted with politics, David prepares to head home with his mom, but when he sees a sign that he should stay, he commandeers a taxi and rams the Gathian convoy as it leaves the city, which halts the procession. Silas shows up and negotiates a peace treaty by giving up a prosperous port city to the Gathians if the peace lasts for six months. Since it's Silas, you know there's some sort of ulterior motive, though it's yet to be revealed.
Jack gets pissy because he doesn't get invited to the peace treaty dinner, and the press wonders why. He takes a bunch of his military buddies out for a shopping spree on the King's dime except OOPS! His credit card is tied to the now bankrupt treasury, so it's denied.
Michelle helps Mrs. Shepherd, who is trying to get death benefits for David's brother from Veteran's Affairs. Later, Silas reminds his daughter of a mysterious vow that she took which he thinks will disrupt her burgeoning relationship with David. When David sees her after the signing of the peace treaty, she blows him off.
