In episode 9 of season 2, titled "Flustercluck," Frank is faced with several obstacles as he tries to finally bring Pilgrim to justice.

The episode starts with Frank and Amy (Giorgia Whigham) trying to track down Rev. Rosen (Russell Hornsby), who has been helping Pilgrim and his family. They narrowly escape an ambush by Pilgrim's men and make their way to Rosen's church. However, they find that Rosen has gone into hiding and left behind a group of his followers who are fiercely loyal to him. Frank and Amy must convince the group to help them find Pilgrim before it's too late.

Meanwhile, Madani (Amber Rose Revah) and Krista (Floriana Lima) have a tense confrontation at the hospital. Krista is still reeling from the events of the previous episodes and is desperate to escape her situation. Madani tries to reason with her and convince her to turn on Pilgrim, but Krista is fearful for her life and refuses to cooperate.

As Frank and Amy continue their search for Pilgrim, they come across a group of neo-Nazis who are also after Pilgrim for their own reasons. Frank is forced to team up with the group to take down Pilgrim's men, but their alliance is short-lived when the neo-Nazis turn on Frank and Amy.

Back at the hospital, Madani receives a surprise visitor in the form of Billy Russo (Ben Barnes), the former friend turned enemy of Frank who has been slowly recovering from his injuries. Billy is still struggling to remember his past and is haunted by his previous actions as a criminal. Madani sees an opportunity to use Billy as a pawn in her quest for justice and offers him a deal to help take down Pilgrim.
