Plot[]

Eileen flies back to Los Angeles. Eileen tells the group that she has warned the Ghosts, a.k.a. the other triads, about the threat they face from the Boxers. The Ghosts take the warning seriously, and order their hidden assassins to kill off the Boxers, who have come to attack. When the Ghosts arrive in LA, Eileen admits that she wants to be the Dragon Head, in order to be in charge of all of the Triads. Charles supports his mother. However, Charles and his mother both wonder how the Boxers knew about the remaining Ghosts, and Bruce, for his part, is worried.

TK wants to join the Jade Dragon family and be a gangster, but Bruce insults him, so he can be spared from being harmed again. Meanwhile, Eileen and Charles both are planning the meeting at a restaurant, but are interrupted by Charles’s friends, the Wang Brothers, visiting from Taipei. Eileen is surprised to see her husband, Big Sun, and she is frightened. Big Sun gifts Bruce his dream car, and spoils him. It turns out that Xing knew about Big Sun’s fake coma, and was sent to LA to keep an eye on the family.

Alexis gets information about the Triad Heads' meeting in LA, and she is tracking down Charles’ movements. Big Sun confronts his wife, and tells her that she will not be running for the Dragon Head, but that it instead, should be Charles. Charles, however, does not want to do it. Unfortunately, Charles does not want disobey his father. Bruce tries to talk to Eileen and Charles, who don’t give into his requests. Bruce takes a big decision, and he meets Grace.

Bruce informs Grace about the Triads' meeting, and expresses that he really wants his family out of this mess. At first, Grace does not trust Bruce, but she gives in and agrees to attack the Triads at the meeting. Big Sun insults Eileen for wanting to take the lead. Big Sun tells Eileen to admit that she has lost and move on. Big Sun also tells Eileen that he has sent her to LA to serve his purpose and nothing else beyond that. Eileen is upset, but she agrees that she has lost.

When the day of the meeting arrives, Charles is prepared. Eileen and Bruce are both not allowed to be at the meeting. Naturally, Bruce is scared, and calls June to help him out. Bruce tells June the truth about Grace being the Boxers’ leader, and what he had done. June agrees to help him for two reasons: Grace had killed May Song, and Bruce's family has been the closest thing to family she has had after her sister died. As the duo are leaving, TK stops them.

TK tells Bruce that he knows why he pushed him away, but he still wants to help. The duo let TK in, and the trio sneak into the meeting. Elsewhere, the FBI is tracking down Charles’s movements. Alexis’ understanding of the Chinese belief system helps them keep track of the Triads. Big Sun nominates Charles to be the Dragon Head, but is interrupted when Eileen shows up. Eileen comes prepared, and starts to address the group, but Bruce stops her. Unfortunately, a Boxer member has planted a bomb in the dessert cart, but Bruce takes it away to toss it in the laundry shoot.

The bomb that Bruce throws in the laundry shoot, blows up in front of the FBI. There is chaos when FBI and Boxer members walk in. Fighting ensues. Bruce and Eileen both manage to escape, thanks to June and TK. June and Grace both duel each other, and June kills Grace in the scuffle. Grace, for her part, doesn’t mind that things ended up this way, as the Triads are dead. TK sits on an FBI officer, and helps them escape. Charles gets an opportunity to bring the Chairleg Sun out. Charles and Big Sun both also escape. The FBI and Alexis count the bodies, and watch the bloodbath unfold. Alexis seems to be worried about Charles. Big Sun is humiliated, feels betrayed, and wants to punish Eileen. Charles, however, refuses to kill his mother. Big Sun does not want her to die, but instead, suffer every minute of her life. Instead, Big Sun asks Charles to kill Bruce, which shocks him to the core.
