Dominic, Stringfellow Hawke, Caitlin O'Shannessy and Cecil Jr. land and Dominic and Cecil Sr. hug and Cecil Sr. asks Cecil Jr. what he is doing off the job early. Things are awkward at dinner when Cecil Sr. and Jr. continue to not get along. Cecil Jr. offers to take Hawke and Caitlin into town and Cecil Sr. tells him not to go to the bar and to be home by midnight. Dominic gets upset with Cecil Sr. over the way he treats Cecil Jr. and Cecil Sr. tells him he and Cecil Jr. don't get along, because Cecil Jr. blames Cecil Sr. for his mother's death. Dominic recalls Cecil Sr. wrote letters to his wife all the time during the Korean War and Cecil Sr. blames Cecil Jr. for not pulling Evelyn out of the burning vehicle. During the night, Dominic is woken up by a noise and finds Cecil Sr. up and Cecil Sr. tells him Cecil Jr. was kicked out of college for selling drugs. Cecil Sr. then asks Dominic if he can take Cecil Jr. with him to California to set him straight.

Dominic lands at Cecil Sr.'s house to pick him up. Cecil Sr. grabs a handful of letters and as he, Dominic and Cecil Jr. are about to leave, Alvin and Carlos drive up and start shooting at them. As Dominic and Cecil Sr. are about to go to the oilfield, Alvin and Carlos break into their hotel room and Cecil Jr. appears to have left them. Dominic and Cecil Sr. manage to knock them unconscious. Dominic tells Cecil Sr., he and Cecil Jr. read the letters he wrote. Dominic and Cecil Sr. see the oilfield on fire and Dominic calls Hawke for help. Cecil Sr. asks First Worker what happened and First Worker says the pipe went off like a bomb. While Cecil Sr. helps to put out the fire, Dominic finds Cecil Jr. and unties him. Cecil Sr. goes into the dynamite shack and Cecil Jr. chases after him. Cecil Jr. manages to get Cecil Sr. out right as the shack explodes. Cecil Jr. helps the other workers try and get the fire at the refinery out. Airwolf arrives to the exclamation of Hand 1 and uses its munitions to dig a trench for the fire to follow away from the refinery. At the hospital, Cecil Sr. shows Caitlin, Hawke, Dominic and Cecil Jr. all the get well cards he received. Hawke tells Cecil Jr. the prosecutor said he can fulfill his probation in California, but Cecil Sr. says Cecil Jr. will stay in Texas where he can teach him how to fly.
