One day Fee was adjusting Jimbo's Ginille Consigliere of the Pirelli organization suit when door jingle and Don Gino Timpone walked in. They thought that he wanted to start a fight with Jimbo, but he came in to inform them that he would be collecting protection money from them. Zip and Gino's father Antonio had made a deal that he wouldn't have to pay a fee. However, he told them that the deal was dead with his father and he started beating on Zip. Jimbo was upset and tell them that he was going to inform Don Angelo Pirelli Jr. Gino is known as a brutal, greedy, nasty, vicious and malicious Don. Gino threatens Perfezione bottom-line and her family's safety by wanting them to pay him twenty thousand dollars. Angelo decided to go to the shop and get measured for a suit and checked things out. He thought that he was going to see his old friend Zip but was shocked when he saw Fee behind the counter. He was smitten but the beautiful young woman and it was lust-at-first-sight for both of them. He had left shop when his driver told him that Gino had walked into the shop and when he came upon them he saw him have Fee pressed up on the wall and was even more upset after he saw what he did to her face.
Perfezione wasn't in Angelo's territory so when he threatened Gino he reminded him and told him that he would be back. Zip or Gino didn't know that they were
under is protection even though he's unaware of it. Angelo put off everything and spend the day with her at the shop just in case Gino comes back. He later took her and her family out dinner. The two spend the night together where they made passionate love. Angelo spent the night and was awaken to Fee screaming Jonah's in her sleep. She decided to open up and tell him about her past and instead of disgust and pity he was protective. His words was soothing and for the first time in years she felt liberating instead of the old pain an terrified. But she could say anything else she saw that Angelo's body went rigid then she smell the smoke and realized that the shop was on fire. Angelo believes that it was Gino Timpone's handiwork. It's his twisted idea of revenge for Fee not coughing up the protection money. Jonah saw Fee on the news and went to see her, and when he saw that she had a daughter he asked if she was his because she looked like his sister and tell her that he and his wife was getting a divorce because they wanted children and he wanted a DNA test. He was acting like he had amnesia about the rape like it was consensual.
