| Danny Rayburn, the family's oldest son, buses home from Miami for his parents' celebration of their 45th anniversary running Rayburn House, a beachside inn in the Florida Keys, and the scheduled dedication of a pier in their names. He disembarks at an earlier stop to avoid his brother John, a detective and deputy sheriff in the Monroe County Sheriff's Department. Instead of going to the party, Danny visits a bar, where he meets an old friend: a parolee named Eric O'Bannon. Eric offers Danny an opportunity to make money. After the party, Danny asks John to talk to Robert about Danny's staying home for good and working in the family business. Robert initially does not want Danny to return home, but leaves the choice to the three siblings. Though John, Kevin, and Meg fear Danny may ultimately break Sally's heart, they decide Danny should stay. However, John lies to Danny, telling him Robert did not want him to stay. Danny becomes upset and decides to cut his visit short. John asks him to stay until after the pier dedication, and when Danny declines, drives him back to the Islamorada bus stop. Earlier, John is called by his partner, Meg's boyfriend Marco, to investigate an unidentified female corpse floating in the channel. | ||||||

| Danny does not take the bus home and instead climbs into Eric's van. Eric and Danny paint gas canisters black and steal gasoline from a local dock. Eric lets Danny in on his illegal business dealings. He tells Danny that they are dealing with dangerous people, but the money is easy. Eric lets Danny stay at the house of his sister, Chelsea. John and Marco meet with the coroner, who determines that the unidentified woman died from drowning despite the burns on her body. Danny is standing on an empty beach when Robert paddles up in his kayak. Robert tells Danny he thought he'd left, but Danny says he wanted to tell him goodbye, with no hard feelings, before Robert dies. Robert laughs it off, gets back in his kayak, and paddles off. Soon after paddling away Robert falls over in his kayak. Danny saves his life and, in the process, reinjures his shoulder. At the hospital the family is skeptical of what actually happened to Robert; Kevin accuses Danny of harming Robert. Sally questions Danny about why he didn't say goodbye prior to leaving, to which Danny replies that Robert wanted him to leave. Sally retorts: "You didn't want to face me." A doctor tells Danny that an improperly healed shoulder fracture is causing his chronic pain and asks how it happened. Danny claims it's from a car accident in his youth. Danny becomes agitated and aggressively presses for a refill for his pain medication. Afterward, Danny quickly leaves the hospital to finish the job with Eric. When John tries to check in on Danny, the doctor alerts John that Danny has left and says she believes he has a prescription pill problem. John immediately becomes suspicious of Danny and asks his colleague Chuck to investigate Eric. Chuck reports Eric had called in sick at work. Danny and Eric have used the Rayburn family boat to move the gasoline they'd stolen to the mangroves. Kevin, still suspicious of Danny, pays a fisherman who'd witnessed Robert's fall to tell him what happened. The fisherman takes Kevin's money but offers no new revelations. As Danny returns to Rayburn House, he is confronted by both John and Kevin. Kevin attacks Danny, and John protects Danny after having a flashback of Robert beating Danny when they were children. | ||||||

| Meg cheats on Marco with her client, Alec. Alec and his attorneys have hired Meg as a consultant to a luxury real estate project in Monroe County. Meg explains to Alec that after law school Robert put her in charge of his estate planning, and she did not do the one thing Robert wanted: take Danny out of the will. Later, Meg tells Alec and his team that the project will be very difficult, if not impossible, to complete due to local politics. At Sally's prompting, John asks Danny to stay home for good, despite what he'd told him days before. However, John imposes one condition: Danny cannot hang out with Eric O'Bannon. Eric gives Danny an envelope of cash and offers him another job. Danny declines, as he wants to continue working with his family. Danny mails the cash to an unknown address. Due to Robert's condition, the siblings discuss who will fulfill his duties at the inn. Sally, despite the concerns of John, Kevin, and Meg, determines that Danny will start work at the inn; he is given several of Robert's duties, including boat charters. Kevin tells Meg over drinks that he and his wife, Belle, have separated, in part due to a miscarriage and Belle's belief that Kevin is unsuited to be a father. Before visiting the hospital, Meg revisits her father's will. She takes Danny out of it and brings Robert a new copy to sign. At the hospital Robert wakes up. The doctors determine that he had mini strokes, but they cannot locate the main clot. Robert exhibits disorientation, including calling Meg "Sarah". Meg determines he should not sign the will. John's son Ben is making a video compilation for the pier dedication. Ben later shows John an old video that is misdated. Ben asks John if the other girl in the film is Sarah, which John confirms. Sarah is the late sister of Danny, John, Kevin, and Meg. Danny arrives back at the hospital to find Meg and Sally, who leave Danny in the waiting room to bid goodbye to Robert. While they are gone Danny looks through Meg's purse and finds a key card to the Sunset Palms motel, which he takes. He later confronts Meg about the card and tries to use it to blackmail her. | ||||||

| John and Marco find the charred hull of a boat and believe it's related to the dead girl's case. Further investigation leads them to suspect that their Jane Doe may be the victim of an illegal immigration ring. In the hospital, Robert is about to be discharged and has an argument with Meg about the filing of his will and testament. Meg asks him again if he has changed his mind about keeping Danny out of his will. After a moment of frustration, Robert tells her he'll think about it. Danny continues working diligently at the inn and begins winning his mother's trust. Meg continues to cheat on Marco with Alec, but in a more secretive manner after Danny's blackmail. Kevin watches a few investors talking to the marina's owner and thinks the marina might soon be sold to an outside party. Danny bonds with his brothers and father at John's son's baseball game, and at the inn, in front of Sally, Belle continues the pretense of being happily married to Kevin. Meg receives an offer to work in a New York firm but declines, citing a personal commitment to her family's business. Marco discovers the place where Danny and Eric stole the gas from and find a working security camera. John and Marco get the security footage, but the video is too dark to positively identify the thieves. Kevin confronts the marina owner's son, Nicholas Widmark, and learns the marina is on the market for sale. Desperate not to lose his livelihood, Kevin says that he will make an offer to buy the marina. Danny and Kevin repair Robert's old pick-up truck. Meanwhile, another girl's body is discovered in the water with burns similar to the firsts, confirming John's suspicion that they both were the victims of an immigration run gone bad. Eric lines up another illegal gas run. Robert observes Danny around the inn and begins giving serious thought to Danny's future with the family. Meg confronts Alec about the offer to work in New York and asks if he arranged it for her. Alec convinces Meg that she impressed the people from New York with her work and got the offer on her own merits. Robert and his sons take a drive in the old pick-up truck which Danny and Kevin fixed. Robert later calls Danny aside for a private conversation and tells him he wants Danny to leave, and never come back. Robert offers him a check to help him start afresh. Danny refuses it and tells Robert that he will leave for "the right price". | ||||||
| 5 | 5 | "Part 5" | Jean de Segonzac | Jonathan Glatzer | March 20, 2015 | |
| Danny wakes up the day after his conversation with Robert. He begins packing and plans on leaving. Robert returns from his morning kayak trip, collapses on the beach, and dies. The Rayburn family starts making arrangements for a small funeral service, and Sally asks John to speak a few words on everyone's behalf. John and Sally have a late night drink and talk about Robert's childhood. Sally tells John that Robert never spoke about his childhood because he didn't want anyone feeling sorry for him. When John presses her, she reveals that Robert had a very abusive childhood, and she clarifies that he never finished high school because he left home after stabbing his father with a grilling fork after his father had abused Robert's stepmother. Robert didn't kill his father, but he was sure he would if he continued to stay in the house. Tensions run high between Kevin and Belle at the funeral service, and Robert's friend Detective Lenny Potts makes an appearance. Detective Potts was with the local Sheriff's department during John's childhood but had since then moved on. John delivers the eulogy to great praise. Kevin and Belle argue, and Belle leaves soon afterward. Things come to a head between Meg and Alec on the phone, and Meg tells him never to call her again. Kevin, Meg, and Marco go to a bar and run into Danny, Eric, and Chelsea. John sits down with Detective Potts to discuss the case of the two dead girls. Potts points him towards an old case he worked on which had similar elements. John asks Potts why he and his father fell out years before. Kevin makes his way to Belle's house from the bar, to apologize. The two share an understanding embrace. John visits the archives and retrieves the findings of the old case Potts spoke of. In the process, he decides to review the files related to Danny's injury during their childhood. Detective Potts meets up with Danny at the inn and apologizes to him for not doing his job when Danny got injured as a child. He tells Danny that he knew Robert had assaulted him, but he couldn't prove it. He also reveals to Danny that he interviewed the Rayburns in an effort to find the truth about his "accident". John discovers transcripts of the interviews Potts conducted with Danny's siblings as children. However, the audio cassettes of the interviews are not in their cases. Potts hands over the interview tapes to Danny before leaving. | ||||||
| 6 | 6 | "Part 6" | Alex Graves | Jeff Shakoor | March 20, 2015 | |
| John wrestles with the prospect of talking to Danny about the interviews everyone gave to Detective Potts. Danny's mental condition begins to gradually deteriorate, and his anger towards his siblings mounts. Sally receives Robert's will and testament in the mail and is disappointed to see that Danny has been left out. Danny asks for a few days off from the inn to go down to Key West, and he picks up a substantial amount of drugs from Eric along the way. Kevin discovers that Belle has begun seeing men she met on dating websites. Sally and Meg have a confrontation about Danny's exclusion from the will, and Sally makes it clear that she wants Meg to "make things right". Manny, the inn's valet, asks if Meg can help his cousin with some legal problems. Kevin talks to Susie, the marina owner, and proposes buying the marina from her at a lower price than what her son's customers are offering. However, Kevin agrees to come up with the money in a month, in cash. John meets up with Potts to discuss what happened during the investigation into Danny's injuries. Potts reveals that he did a poor job of interrogating Robert and Danny; he interrogated them together and let Robert feed Danny the false story. When he pressed Danny for details, Danny said he couldn't remember any, and that is why Potts decided to interview the other siblings. He then said that while interviewing John, Meg, and Kevin, he never pressed them about who fed them the same story, and he did not pursue the matter further out of his friendship with Robert and to let the family grieve the loss of a child. When Potts confronted Robert about this later, Robert continued to deny it, and that disagreement led to their falling out. John begins to understand some of the reasons why Danny resented the family. Meanwhile, Manny introduces Meg to his cousin Carlos, who is currently embroiled in an assault and battery case. Meg talks to her friend in the prosecutor's office and tries to convince the attorney to reduce Carlos' sentence. She bumps into Alec and decides to make amends for her behavior. Danny begins doing drugs with a young woman and her male friend at a party. John, Meg, and Kevin debate whether or not they should cut Danny back into the will. John stands up for Danny and declares that if Danny is out of the will, then so is he. After his drugs run out, Danny is abandoned by the girl and her friend. Danny makes it back to town and instigates a bar fight. Chelsea tries to take Danny back home, but he verbally abuses her and walks away. John finds Danny's truck and finds the interview tapes inside. Danny is picked up by a stranger on the highway and taken to a drug den, where he smokes more drugs and has a hallucination. Meg tells Marco that she wants to marry him, but Marco questions the sudden change in attitude and says he doesn't think she's ready. Chelsea and Kevin talk and drink together at a bar. When Danny returns home, John approaches him and tells him he found his truck. When Danny refuses to say anything, John apologizes for their father's beating Danny and for lying to Potts in the interview, because John "just wanted to get things over with". Danny suggests that John and he take a previously scrapped fishing trip and, on the surface, things appear to be getting better. | ||||||

Kevin also tells Danny about his hook-up with Chelsea. Eric tells Danny that the docks are being watched and that they can no longer run gasoline; Danny then meets with Eric's boss, a man named Wayne Lowry. Danny returns to Chelsea and tells her that he knows about Kevin and forgives them. At the same time, Kevin is assaulted and beaten by a masked assailant. When Kevin is unconscious, the assailant removes his mask and it is revealed that he is Eric O'Bannon.

| Danny meets Lowry's associate Quintana at a bar, where he offers Danny and Eric more work. Eric hands Danny an envelope of money stolen from Kevin, and it is revealed that Danny was behind Kevin's assault. John and Marco follow the tip about the Jane Doe, and meet her father. He is an undocumented worker who arranged for his daughter to be brought to Florida illegally for $6000, but she never arrived. At another bar, Quintana threatens the witness in the case against Carlos, and the witness drops out. Danny suggests that the Rayburn family hire Carlos part-time. Danny asks Carlos to watch while he unloads some fish into a shed on the Rayburn property; hidden in the boxes are packets of cocaine. Marco proposes to Meg; the family celebrates. Kevin refuses to report the assault and burglary because it will affect his loan with the bank. John brings him to Sally's house, where the family is informed about what happened. The bank's loan officer comes to Kevin's house and informs him she has heard about the burglary; they need to take 90 days to assess the damage. Kevin, knowing that he cannot wait 90 days to purchase the marina, is furious. Danny takes John out to a bar, and John gets very drunk. When they return home, Diana is angry at Danny, who speaks to her threateningly before leaving. The next morning, Danny confronts Meg about being cut out of the will. Meg says that everything is fixed and she just needs to file the appropriate paperwork. Marco learns that Quintana was in charge of bringing Jane Doe to America. Quintana and Lowry meet Danny and Eric, confirming that Quintana intimidated the witness in Carlos's case. Danny and Eric try to deliver the drugs they have been keeping in the shed, only to discover that they are sugar; it has been a test. Wayne Lowry says he will keep in touch. The show flashes forward to a scene of John with a gun, and John's voiceover implies that Danny has made a huge mistake. | ||||||

While she is working at a plant nursery, Danny approaches Diana and apologizes half-heartedly. He also tells her not to get between him and John, and Diana feels threatened. She calls the cooking school and finds that Danny only attended for a few months. Danny receives another envelope full of cash, which he mails away, unaware that John is watching. John looks up Danny's information in the criminal justice system, and finds an arrest record and a business address in Miami. Danny confronts Meg about her disagreement with his plan to expand the inn, acting aggressively. Nicky confronts Kevin about his car and threatens him with a restraining order. John drives to Miami, where he discovers that Danny had been managing a restaurant which burned down several months ago. At the inn, Meg and Kevin talk about Danny's accident. She is too young to remember, but Kevin tells her that they lied to the police about who hurt Danny. The scene moves to Danny, who is listening to the tapes of his siblings' interviews with the police. John learns that Danny borrowed money for the restaurant and was in financial trouble; his associates burned down the restaurant when Danny couldn't pay. Danny and Chelsea show up at the inn while Marco, Meg, and Sally are planning the wedding. Danny asks Marco if Meg is keeping any secrets; Meg tells Danny that she will tell Marco about her affair rather than allow herself to be blackmailed.

Sally implies that she got pregnant, then moved to be closer to his base so she and Robert could get married. John lets himself into Danny's Miami apartment, where he finds several large envelopes full of cash. Sally has a flashback to the scene on the bus.

| 10 | 10 | "Part 10" | Michael Morris | Carter Harris | March 20, 2015 | |
| At the pier dedication, John's voiceover tells us that he doesn't know what happened to Danny and that he hopes to find out. This voiceover contrasts with a flash forward where John pulls Danny's body out of a truck and through the rain. Back in the jail, John continues to question Eric. The police find gas cans in Eric's car. John and Marco watch the security footage of the stolen gasoline again. Marco wonders who the other man in the footage is; John suspects it is Danny.

At home, John tells Diana that Danny will be arrested and that he wants Danny out of his life. Danny and Chelsea arrive at Sally's house to find Kevin there. Chelsea leaves, and Danny threatens Kevin. Sally apologizes to John for her outburst; she tells him that she was planning on leaving Robert the day Sarah died. When Sarah knocked on her door, Sally told Danny to take care of Sarah instead of Sally comforting her. Since she is the reason that Danny took Sarah on the boat, Sally feels responsible for Sarah's death. John confronts Danny about Lowry and Quintana and offers to help him reach a deal with the DEA. Danny denies everything, so John throws the pictures of the dead burn victims at him and leaves. Danny asks Quintana if the drug ring also does human trafficking, and Quintana says they don't do it anymore because of some "trouble" in the past. In a flashback, Lowry orders Quintana to torch a boat full of illegal immigrants. Sally asks Meg about the ownership documents for the business, and Meg admits she hasn't added Danny yet. Meg watches Carlos load boxes into the inn's storage shed. Quintana uses his cell phone to start the drug run, alerting the DEA. Danny comes to John and tells him everything, saying that he needed money and didn't know what he was involved in. Danny tells John he has tipped off Quintana about the drug bust. Quintana avoids capture and the drugs remain in the shed. Lowry tells Quintana to go away for a few weeks until things calm down. As Quintana gets onto a boat to leave the Keys, he is murdered by another one of Lowry's associates. Danny says he will continue to work for Lowry; if John continues to oppose him, Danny threatens to tell the DEA that John leaked information about the drug run. Meg discovers the drugs. | ||||||

John decides to keep Nolan's existence a secret from his mother but tells his siblings that he believes Nolan truly is Danny's son. Sally, who has learned about Nolan from Detective Potts, gives John a chance to tell her what he is hiding; he refuses and she leaves angrily. John investigates Evangeline but cannot locate her. His department continues the investigation of Wayne Lowry, and they realize that many low-level members of Lowry's crew are missing or dead. Marco, suspecting that something about Danny's disappearance does not add up, questions John. Kevin, who has been using the leftover stash of Danny's cocaine, almost breaks down to confess to his wife. Marco brings Kevin to see the burned-out boat in which Danny's body was found, and Kevin mistakenly admits that it is possible that the boat was burned purposefully. John questions Nolan further about his father, and Nolan tells John that he and Danny used to hang out at Danny's Miami apartment, to which Danny would send envelopes full of money for Nolan.
