The Harrigan’s story takes an extreme, unfortunate turn. They find themselves ensnared in a net of cunning and double-dealing when violence breaks out in Antwerp. Recent policy developments have illustrated a complicated web of friends and foes. Personal ambitions come into play, and they threaten to upend the family legacy for good. The ongoing drama involves Eugene Conrad Harrigan, Sr. and his daughter Gina. She is equally hell-bent on getting away from the angry, drug addicted whirlpool of darkness that overtakes their household.
Conrad Harrigan (HONK) tries to reach out and relate with Gina in the chaos, understanding that even family matters need to be mended as tensions grow dangerously high. Maeve Harrigan may be the Harrigan family’s most potent weapon. She informs Richie that she’s ready to engage him to take out Seraphina, her estranged daughter-in-law. She draws the line when it comes to Brendan Harrigan, refusing for Richie to be able to do any harm to him. How the new directive further complicates a tenuous situation. This new directive only serves to further muddy an already complicated ecosystem.
With tempers rising, Harry Da Souza contacts Lorenzo, saying he wants to talk to Seraphina. Harry’s plans start to become a bit less obscure when he tells his brother, Jan Da Souza, that he is indeed going to Antwerp. This journey represents what will be a landmark face-off that may lead to profound consequences for families on both sides of the case. In a moment of shared despair, Jan and Bella Harrigan find solace in each other’s company as they lament their unfortunate lives, highlighting the emotional toll of their circumstances.
In Antwerp, Seraphina and Brendan Harrigan have carved out a rich life of comfort. Seraphina is not happy to sit on her previous success.

This move signals her resilience, her willingness to fight back into the family’s leadership contest power struggle.
Meanwhile, back at home, Eddie Harrigan is forced to bear the weight of his violent actions as he begins to tell everyone the truth about Tommy’s murder. His frank admission lays bare the emotional cost of guilt that has plagued him. This will only make his stand within the domestic fabric more problematic. Richie takes a big step by agreeing to Maeve’s plan to kill Seraphina. This action reflects his willingness to stop at nothing to obtain power and eliminate any potential threats.
Just as things start getting interesting, Kevin Harrigan shares his growing suspicions and fears with Harry Da Souza. He is convinced that Maeve is behind a shocking recent car-bombing attack. This allegation further highlights the oppressive climate of suspicion that characterized the Harrigan household, exploring themes of loyalty and treachery.
As things come to a head, Conrad Harrigan is left with a decision to make. He seems to insulate Maeve by taking the fall for ordering a hit on Vron. This recent move is intended to distract from her role in the increased violence. Conrad’s protective action demonstrates the great lengths to which he is willing to go to protect his wife. It shows you how far he’s willing to fight for their family togetherness even when he’s put in difficult moral decisions.
In Antwerp, Harry Da Souza disembarking from Conrad Harrigan’s private helicopter. Though this ostentatious entrance emphasizes an elitist paradisiacal way of life, there are sharp contradictions underneath the veneer. In this journey of self-discovery, his presence represents more than that. His presence means that Seraphina’s hard-won stability is under threat. As tensions mount, family members must navigate a treacherous landscape where alliances can shift overnight and trust is a rare commodity.
“Please, Mama…” Gina begs her mother, Maeve, revealing that she wants to escape. This heartfelt plea illustrates Gina’s growing despair over her family’s escalating legacy of violence.

Old grudges are coming back with a vengeance, and new threats are scary as hell. As the stakes are raised higher than ever, the future of the Harrigan family now hangs in the balance.
