Hank wants to handle the matter on his own but Boris isn't about to butt out of Hank's business, just like Hank hasn't let the issue of Boris's mysterious illness go. Boris puts his cadre of lawyers on the case despite Hank's wishes because he has a vested interest in Hank keeping his medical license. Boris wants Hank to help him with his potentially terminal genetic disease that killed his father and his grandfather. Hank agrees as long as there are no more secrets between them. Unfortunately for Hank, Boris isn't exactly a 'tell-all' kind of guy.

That is, until the massive yacht they're on reaches the even bigger boat where their mystery client is located. Divya is highly suspicious of the situation. But the sheer number of zeros on the retainer check they were paid in advance has made Evan determined to see this through. They soon find out that their new client is a notorious Wall Street swindler who bilked billions from innocent investors. He is currently hiding from the authorities in the safety of international waters, and Evan has second thoughts. Too bad they can't turn the boat around, because the captain of the sailboat literally just had the wind knocked out of him by a falling sail and is in need of emergency medical attention.
