Seeing difficulty in getting Nicholas to Papua New Guinea, he is sent to spend the summer in Brooklyn, New York City, with his paternal grandmother Tutti and his uncle Frankie, both of whom he's never met.
Besides, he does not dare to ask his uncle about his job, since his father had persuaded him to stay away from Frankie, since he would not fit into the family.
Tommy backs out but Nicholas goes to talk to Eggs, injuring him in a series of unintentional accidents.
Due to the debt collection job, he gains some recognition within the gangster ring, which brings him further orders.
Nicky, Donna and Tommy are discovering that the Mafia is cheating on horse racing gambling by conditioning their own racehorses through hypnosis and launching them as outsiders.
