Elijah references the recent string of break-ins in Nixon Falls and how they have affected the economy. The Caulfields admit they have been having money issues and Elijah offers to inject cash into their bar if he can buy the place as a silent partner. It will be theirs until they retire.
Lenny introduces Elijah to amnesiacSonny Corinthos (as "Mike") and Elijah is suspicious as to why "Mike" doesn't have a last name. "Mike" thinks Elijah is taking advantage of the Caulfields. Elijah says he owes Phyllis since she rented him a room upstairs when he had finished grad school and was buried in debt.
When Elijah leaves, "Mike" says he doesn't like him. "Mike" also leaves for a poker game but he tells the Caulfields not to make a decision before he returns. "Mike" is beaten up during the card game after revealing he has the winning hand.
When "Mike" walks back into the bar, Elijah is trying to get the Caulfields to sign the paperwork for The Tan-O. Elijah leaves after "Mike" gives the Caulfields enough money to save the bar and he even pays them extra for letting him stay with them for the last few months. Elijah calls someone outside the bar and tells them to find out everything they can on "Mike" including following him and doing whatever it takes.
On April 1, Elijah follows up on the phone with the person he had research "Mike" and is annoyed they found nothing. He explains that it is important because "Mike" is trouble. Elijah tells them to dig deeper and he will see if he can find out more.
Elijah walks into the bar and "Mike" introduces him to Nina Reeves who recently got to town. "Mike" tells Elijah about the article on the town he is trying to get Nina to write for Crimson Magazine. Elijah is familiar with the magazine. He offers to give Nina a tour of the town and she accepts to go on one the next day. Elijah goes outside to call the same person and asks them to research Nina.
Elijah goes to a Firehouse dance with Nina but he leaves before two robbers pull guns on Jasper "Jax" Jacks and "Mike". Jax is shot in the shoulder by one of the robbers before they are arrested.
On May 5, "Mike" overhears Elijah talk to one of the robbers in an alley. Elijah is mad that the robber texted him to meet in this place. Elijah says he paid the robber's bail and wants to be left alone. The robber says he needs more cash. Elijah says the robber should watch it as he doesn't like shakedowns. The robber asks which one of them has more to lose. Elijah reluctantly pays the robber.
On May 13 & 14, Elijah goes on a date one night with Nina at a local park in Nixon Falls. But Nina only agrees to this as a front for Sonny to break into one of his local businesses called Llantano Valley Commercial Properties, to find dirt on Elijah but Sonny only ends up stealing a few bucks and leaving right as the police zero in on the heist. Elijah shows up with Nina in tow only to find the place trashed with the the robber nowhere in sight. Elijah leaves to go to the police station to take a statement. Nina pretends to leave with him only to circle back to the building to pick up where Sonny left off when the police came. Nina was on the phone with "Mike" and she tells him she is printing out proof of Elijah's illegal activities. All while Sonny is pleading Nina to get out of there. Just as Nina is doing exactly this, Elijah returns from a back door and is surprised to find Nina in his office. When he questions her as to what she's doing there, Nina stuffs the papers into her purse and claims to have been looking for missing earrings she dropped when she was in his office the first time, which she "finds" on the floor. Nina collects the earrings and leaves, returning to the Tan-O to show Sonny the papers she printed proving Elijah's illegal activities in various surrounding towns, with Corinth being one of his victims. Meanwhile, Elijah investigates the print job history on his computer and learns the printer also had been used when Elijah was away at the police station giving them a statement and makes a phone call to one of his associates, mentioning Nina Reeves by name, saying he doesn't know how much she knows but she'd seen some of the accounts and that he might have to take care of her himself.
On May 18, a man named Walter, who'd previously attempted to rob the Tan-O at gunpoint, turns up in Corinth, Pennsylvania where Sonny and Nina travel to investigate the crime that'd taken place there to devalue the financial livelihood of the town. He is seen texting someone as he is stalking Sonny and Nina but Sonny spots him first and confronts him. Walter is most likely a criminal working for Elijah and attempted to rob the Tan-O on Elijah's orders.
On May 25, Nina goes out to the park with Elijah. He finds the papers Nina printed after they fall out of her purse. He starts to manhandle her until "Mike" hits him in the leg with a log. Elijah is taken away by cops when he is arrested.
