Suggested by phoenix88

All storylines consolidate in L.A., as the city enters a pre-war state. The Puppeteer brings in a dangerous assassin named Hugo, who starts targeting the city's administration; the police are pushed to start focusing on the Angels more, now that both Julian and Alexandra are dead; and Vasily arrives to the city, revealing he has created a cabal to destroy the Puppeteer, as well as anyone who stands in his way. Vasily's team is consisted of: Seymour Tarranova, the former kingpin of crime of L.A., Sonya Summers, the founder of the Angels and Claire's archnemesis, as well as Peter, who seems very eager to see Claire fall. The issue arises when Vasily finds out that Ellis is actually his cousin Aleksander, who was presumed dead, leading to a fiery confrontation between Vasily and the Angels. Meanwhile, with the assistance of TT, Tapp and Tracy are able to find clues which could take them directly to the Puppeteer, but with Hugo on the loose, it becomes increasingly difficult, even with the assistance from Theo, who has returned from Turkey. Sergei tracks down Ducky and presses him for information, Patar starts a secret sexual affair, much to Konstantin's dismay, and Randy's ramblings start seeming more and more real, as TT meets another patient at Parson's.
