The episode starts with Kevin reluctantly agreeing to help Duffy, who thinks he has a lead on the gang's leader, Vincent.

Kevin initially wants nothing to do with the operation but relents after Donna convinces him that it might help their family's financial situation.
The first step of the plan involves Kevin attending a Kings of Queens meeting, posing as a potential recruit. He meets with a member named Chale, who Kevin describes as a "young Tony Soprano" and is taken aback by the gang's violent nature. Chale takes Kevin to meet Vincent, but Kevin's cover is quickly blown, and he is forced to leave the gang's lair.
Meanwhile, Donna has her own storyline in the episode, dealing with a burglar who has been targeting their neighborhood.
