And a new story begins! When Sin City Season 8 opens in 2019, watch this blog for weekly updates... (better yet check out the show in person. There are only ten episodes and we're better live...) 

Here is how it all ended:
~ Libby was thrilled at the prospect of returning to Hollywood to act in a movie. She invited new husband Rudy to live with her in Beverly Hills, but he was reluctant to leave Virginia, who was surprised to learn of his newfound crush on her. Livid at being rejected, Libby tore up the wedding certificate and threatened to call the FBI to testify against Rudy; but Fiona warned her of the risk of incriminating herself.  Libby reluctantly changed her mind, and invited Fiona to move into her mansion and become her advisor and housekeeper.

~ Uncle Tony was keen to return to New York upon hearing news that his father had suffered a heart attack; if the patriarch passed, it would make Tony head of the Family. Tony invited Joey to be his consigliere if that happened, but until then, he gave Joey his old job back as manager of the Oasis. 

~  Peggy Sue was unsure of her romantic status with Tony.  She was relieved to find out he still wanted to marry her. Joey conducted an impromptu wedding ceremony, attended by Audrey and Virginia.

~ Roy Orbison and Johnny Taupe performed on the Camel’s Toe Show Lounge.  

~ Bobby revealed he had palmed one of Libby’s Pink Diamond of Tanzania earrings. Joey, Frankie and Vincent were all relieved to be out of danger, and along with Jonesy and Rudy, were content to carry on business as before at the Casino.   

~ Libby showed Vincent the case file given to her by the FBI Agent. She was astonished that her Talent Agent ‘Wink’ Winklestein - who had disappeared with client’s money - had been found dead in Mexico with her savings bonds, the deed to her home ...  and an offer for a movie.   
~ Uncle Tony gave Peggy Sue his mother’s ring, and she proposed. Tony told Joey and Bobby he was engaged, and reluctantly called his father to share the news.   Peggy Sue invited Audrey to help plan the wedding.
~ Virginia turned down Audrey’s overture of friendship; Vincent held a staff meeting. Johnny Taupe confided in Vincent.
~ Jonesy hinted at a fling with Fiona.  Frankie told Joey his arm has been broken walking into a barn. 
~ A frustrated Rudy told the men he had a romantic interest in Virginia; but Libby invited Rudy to consummate their marriage in the Penthouse and both enjoyed the encounter. Rudy did not know of her plans to return to Hollywood. Libby asked the Bellhop pack up her belongings and she checked out with Bobby before performing a Farewell song at the Late Show.
~ Joey wondered about his future.  Bobby was about to confide in Frankie.   

Much has happened over 33 episodes! If you are  a newcomer (better late than never!) or haven't been for a while - here is an an overview  - with a few plot points that may come into play: 
~ Angry over unpaid debts and a Casino losing money, crime boss Uncle Tony took over daily management of the Oasis, demoting Joey to card dealer and Frankie to custodian.    

~ Peggy Sue was hired as a chambermaid then became an apprentice to Bobby, Casino Accountant.  She stole his three sets of accounting books and showed Uncle Tony that his staff had been skimming profits. Tony was livid and ordered ex-pugilist Rudy to break Frankie’s arms. Vincent the Entertainment Director, Bobby, and Joey were all guilty and feared for their lives. There was a Life Insurance policy on cousin Rudy worth $2 million that would be paid to the Casino upon his demise, but if married would go to his widow.

~ FBI Agent Mac Ranker showed up to investigate the murders of two insurance men found buried in the desert. Lloyd Bentley had been killed by Rudy to protect movie star Libby Montgomery. She stole half a million in insurance money, which was later taken by Bobby. Both Bobby and Tony had beaten Groat, the other insurance man, to death. 
~ Libby agreed to marry Rudy to keep their secret; as a married couple, they could not testify against each other.
   
~ Meanwhile...Fiona had gotten lucky at the slots, and had a one-night fling with Joey, who had once been in love with long-departed Showgirl Veronica Starr. There was rivalry amongst the Showgirls Audrey and Virginia.
~ Bellhop Jonesy was crushed to learn that his former flame Peggy Sue was now engaged to Uncle Tony.   He tidied the Penthouse, unwittingly tossing the crooked set of books, as well as the FBI Agent’s evidence about the murders.

~ Movie star Libby Montgomery lost her earrings worth half a million. She found the earrings but did not stop the insurance claim she had initiated. Lloyd Bentley the Insurance Agent arrived with $500,000 in a briefcase, but then accosted Libby. Bouncer/former boxer Rudy Bellini defended her and beat the man to death; he buried the body in the desert. Libby kept the money and hid it in her suite.  Casino Accountant Bobby de Faro stole most of her cash, with plans to pay off the Casino’s large debt to Uncle Tony, head of the Family.

 ~ An Insurance Investigator named Orrin Groat arrived and began asking questions. In separate incidents, both Uncle Tony and Bobby beat the stranger - without knowing who he was or why he was there.  Rudy buried another body in the desert.
~ Libby had agreed to a long engagement to Rudy in order to keep their secret about Lloyd. Rudy surprised her with a wedding ceremony, but she stalled and did not sign the license. Rudy revealed the Casino had a Life Insurance policy on him that, in the event of his demise - would pay two million to the Casino, or to his widow if he was married.   

~ Demoting several people, crime boss Uncle Tony took over daily management of the Casino. He was unhappy to learn from his girlfriend Peggy Sue, the new accounting apprentice  - that staff had been skimming profits. Entertainment Director Vincent Martino, Casino Accountant Bobby de Faro, Former boss Joey Calligari and card dealer Frankie were all guilty of stealing cash or messing with the books - and feared for their lives. They were aware that cashing in cousin Rudy’s Life Insurance policy would more than repay the debt.

 ~ FBI Agent Mac Ranker recently arrived at the Hotel to investigate the murders of Groat and Bentley. Both bodies had both been found in the desert, with evidence leading to the Casino.      

~ FBI Agent Mac Ranker interrogated Libby, who confessed she had seen Rudy kill Lloyd Bentley. Ranker arrested Rudy and handcuffed him in the office, while he enjoyed the early show featuring Fiona Olaconacher telling tall tales and singing Irish melodies. When Libby found Rudy, she signed the wedding license learning she could inherit two million in life insurance if he was given the death penalty.  Rudy then informed her that spouses can not testify against each other. 

~ Frankie told everyone he broke his arm in a barn accident, but Vincent was suspicious. Peggy Sue revealed that Frankie’s broken arm was a lesson for stealing from Uncle Tony. She also told Vincent she had seen his falsified Entertainment budget.

~ Bobby assured Joey he had recreated plausible accounting books, laying the ground work to blame Peggy Sue.  They were taken aback when Uncle Tony revealed his plans to propose to her.  Tony forced Bobby and Joey to admit they had been skimming. But Tony offered a deal:  if they cut cards and Joey drew the high card, his debt would be forgiven. But if Tony drew high, Joey would give up his stake in the Casino and remain an employee.  Tony won.  

~ After reminiscing with Vincent about time in the Foxhole, and refusing to do the Early Show, Johnny Taupe performed a sizzling tribute to The Blarney Stone at the Late Show.  His Showgirl Shaniqua sparked rivalry amongst the Showgirls.

~ FBI Agent Mac Ranker told Frankie they had dug up two murdered men.  Mac also told Libby her signed photo was found in the briefcase owned by one of the deceased, Mr. Bentley of Bentley Insurance - the company that insured her earrings for half a million.

Fiona advised them to stall or create a diversion.   
~ Rudy had compliments for Virginia, but was unimpressed with Audrey when she failed to trick Libby into signing his marriage license.    
~ Unsure if her wedding to Rudy was legit and if so, what the terms were, Libby sought legal advice.

a~ Thinking it was a ‘skit’, Libby playfully said “I do”, but was shocked to learn the wedding ceremony was real. She frantically sought loopholes and advice from Fiona.
