Trouble is the order of the day when one ranch graduate dies, another is kidnapped and someone threatens to slit Kevin's throat. Elsewhere, Michael puts himself in harm's way to find out who's peddling uncut heroin and making porno films with underage starlets. Michael is deeply affected when a ranch graduate dies. Kevin is stabbed for refusing to give up a girls location, but when they find and abduct her, Michael holds little hope the police will help, and he puts his own life in serious danger to rescue her.

The ranch prepares to hold a wedding for a former ranch kid. Michael's dream resembles a 1940s movie.

"Rosey" is back and not doing so well. After the guys at 11-17 get her busted and released, an unwell Walt spends the night with her while she detoxes, and he himself becomes sicker. Michael gets a tempting offer to move and expand the ranch program so he could help 10 times the kids.
