 | That Old Gang of Mine
Episode 1.11
Something has changed in the Janczyk crime family,
and the Director sends Mac to the Janczyk mansion to
find out what. Mac is caught inside by Jackie
Janczyk, who looks like a Barbie doll, talks like a
Valley girl, and is the new head of the Janczyk family
since her father went crazy. To stop her from killing
him, Mac tells Jackie he's from the Tangs.
With Mac missing, the Director sends Vic and Li Ann
out for information. Vic takes Li Ann to a peep show
where his former informant (and lover) Ivy works. Ivy
gives them some info, and then Mac shows up back at
the Agency with the same info. The Director is not
happy that Mac brought up the Tang name with Jackie;
she's afraid this will actually draw the Tangs into
the fray. Indeed, the Tangs show up, and find Mac at
the Janczyk mansion. A firefight ensues but Mac
escapes.
Meanwhile, Ivy's in trouble, and she agrees to betray
Vic. She shows up at his apartment saying she's in
trouble, and they reminisce about old times, and then
she lets hit men in. Vic gets away alive, with Ivy,
who he gives to the Director.
Then Jackie decides it would be fun to have a gang
war, so she captures the Tang godfather. Mac and Li
Ann follow them to the Santa Claus Parade warehouse,
hoping to save Mr. Tang. The Agency sends the Cleaners
in to take him out. Vic follows to help Mac and Li
Ann. Finally Jackie is captured, and Mac and Li Ann
let the godfather go.

The Last Temptation of Vic
Episode 1.12
During a mission, Vic gets sidetracked protecting two
young women from assailants, and he fails to provide
backup for Li Ann and Mac when they need it.
In
response, the Director gives Vic a three-day
suspension. Then Vic is surprised in his home by
several mobsters, who give him a new stereo and take
him to a meeting with Carmello Orsini, whose niece is
one of the women Vic rescued.
The Director gets wind
of this opportunity to infiltrate a local crime
syndicate, and she tells Vic to get in with Orsini;
Vic refuses, but the Director gets him in anyway.
Vic
gets along well with Orsini, and is uncomfortable in
his undercover role. Vic also discovers the Director
meeting with a strange set of three agents who
mysteriously resemble Mac, Vic and Li Ann.
Meanwhile,
Mac and Li Ann discover that Jackie Janczyk is walking
around free. Jackie shows up as another new recruit
of Orsini's.
Then internal mob politics motivate
Orsini to betray Vic to another mobster, Sonny, while
Orsini's nephew, Fausto, plans to betray him to
Sonny.
They all meet in a dark alley, where Li Ann
and Mac show up just in time to save Vic—with help
from Jackie, who has been recruited by the Director!

infatuated with Angie Rivers, the hostage. When he

of time-warped jewel thieves.

Mr. Smith pulls the strings.
Hoping to learn more

him help the Rivers steal a famous diamond. They
steal the diamond successfully, but Mr. Smith shows up
and captures Mac, Vic and the Rivers.

and plans to eliminate all of them. Luckily, the

(reluctantly) work together to rescue the boys and the
Rivers.

Li Ann's Choice

At the start of this episode, Vic and Mac are both in
danger, and Li Ann can rescue only one of them. She
chooses Vic. Mac, who survives anyway, is upset by
her choice. Li Ann herself is troubled. The Director
gives Li Ann time off to think about it, while she
assigns Mac and Vic to guard an informant named Harry
O'Boyle.
Harry is a longtime employee of a criminal
family called the Yorks, but he's unhappy with the
direction that family has taken since the patriarch,
Simon, died.
Meanwhile Simon's two surviving sons, Ed
and Fred, prepare to receive a shipment. Jackie
becomes Ed's personal trainer. Li Ann tortures
herself over her choice, and spends time with Nathan
trying to learn about the Yorks.
Vic and Mac fail to
get along well with Harry. Then they take Harry out
to a bar and end up his captives. Harry has
double-crossed the Agency; he actually intends to pass
the York fortune over to the Lancasters, Simon York's
other sons.
Vic and Mac are held at gunpoint by the
two Lancaster brothers. Li Ann once again finds
herself in a situation in which she can save only one
of the boys. The time she finds a third option; she
turns her back to the gunmen, confusing them

bar and shares an intense moment with Dobrinsky, who
had been playing the piano in the bar. The Director
