Previously on This Thing of Ours...
Part 1: The tension between Arthur & Eames increases. Eames reveals he experiences sometimes crippling pain due to his past injuries. He also reveals that he's been living without many household essentials in the manor because he doesn't have a car and there's nothing in walking distance. Arthur takes Eames shopping.
Dom and Arthur start working on a deal with another organized crime syndicate, the Yakuza, based out of Japan.
A new singer, Abilena, becomes a regular feature at Perle during the poker games. Mal meets her along with Eames, Ariadne, and Cho when she makes a surprise visit to a poker game. Things between her and Dom are tense.
Arthur's mother, Lydia, continues to decline mentally. She begins confusing Arthur with someone named 'Aaron'. Arthur discusses the possibility of putting her into a facility with round the clock care with Dom.
Arthur starts seeing Balal to blow off some steam.
Part 2 : Dom takes Arthur to visit some nursing homes together. They also pay a visit to Robert Fischer, a small business owner who has been missing his 'protection' payments. They break his hand as a warning to get his act together. Dom also charges Arthur with getting Eames a birthday gift on Dom's behalf. Arthur gets Eames a rescue dog named Dusty, who has an injured leg and limp.
Arthur gets a second apartment to stay in, closer to Eames' manor, partially because his first apartment is still being monitored by law enforcement. Balal gives him a cactus and some beer as housewarming presents. A week later, Arthur visits Balal at home and ends up running into Balal's daughter, Kat. Arthur lies and pretends to be an insurance salesman.
Arthur moves Lydia into White Tree, a high end nursing home.
Eames is slipping into a depression and drinking more frequently. Eames reveals that he'd been tortured and nearly killed thanks to his previous work as a forger. Arthur is not sympathetic, since he was stabbed as a teenager and almost died when Dom saved his life. He tells Eames to suck it up and focus on recovery, going so far as providing Eames a gun to practice shooting with.
Eames invites Arthur back to the manor for a drink after a poker night. Eames tries, unsucessfully, to seduce Arthur. Arthur leaves and is pulled over by a cop for intoxication. He's thrown into the Drunk Tank. Dom's cousin Reggie & uncle Tommy get him released.
Ariadne discovers some listening devices planted at Perle and shows them to Arthur. They're not the same types as the ones Arthur discovered in his home and at work.
Al's wife is pregnant.
Part 3 : Arthur gets a call from White Tree on the way to the poker game. He immediately drives there, bringing Eames with him. Lydia is having a confused, semi-violent episode where she once again confuseds Arthur with Aaron. It turns out that Aaron is Lydia's brother, Arthur's uncle. Arthur goes to Robert Fischer and pays him to track down Aaron.
Arthur attends Dom and Mal's Christmas party. He finds out from Sal that Dom was lobbying to become the new La Cosa Nostra boss, something Dom never shared with Arthur. Sal and the other leaders in the organization decided to pass on Dom, due to Dom's problems with 'discretion' and some of his sexual proclivities.
After a poker game, Arthur gets trapped at the manor due to storms and flooding. The sexual tension between Eames and him finally comes to a head. They agree to say nothing about what has happened between them.
As an end of the year gift to Arthur, Dom pays for the whole next year of Lydia's care at White Tree.
Part 4 : Arthur is alone for Christmas, and goes to Eames. He brings Eames to his apartment in Weston, and they spend the holiday up till New Year's together. Eames reveals that the man who tortured him is named Traiciona, and that when he escaped from Traiciona, he left all his identification behind as well.
Ariadne notifies Arthur that someone's been stealing from Perle. She also makes a pass at him, but Arthur turns her down.
Work is also hectic for Arthur. Some new laws and regulations have been passed that could impact La Cosa Nostra's business in various ways. Dom is in France for the holidays, leaving Arthur to man the fort in his stead.
