11"Do You Know What It Means"Agnieszka HollandDavid Simon & Eric OvermyerApril 11, 2010 (2010-04-11)1.13[2]
Three months after Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans neighborhood of Tremé holds its first "second-line parade" since the storm. Albert Lambreaux returns to his home to find it ravaged by the flood but begins cleaning up the damage instead of heeding his daughter's pleas to return to Houston. She calls her brother Delmond, who comes down to argue with their father but has no more success. A British television crew interviews Creighton Bernette, who becomes so outraged by their implication that the city isn't worth rebuilding that he throws their microphone into a canal. LaDonna Batiste-Williams finds out from a friend that her brother Daymo, who has been missing since the storm, was in police custody when Katrina hit the city; Toni Bernette is unable to find Daymo on official records of prisoners in custody but she does uncover two newspaper photographs that appear to show him among a group of prisoners being taken across the overpass.

Suffering from a mouth injury incurred during his run-in with the police, Antoine accepts LaDonna's request that he go to Baton Rouge, where her husband Larry performs dental work and Antoine has a rare visit with his sons. Darius is fired from the job Albert found him with his neighbor Robinette's hauling company; later, Darius stumbles on Albert's tribe's Mardi Gras practice. When his aunt discovers him there late that evening, she invites Albert to dinner. Davis' car is crippled by a pothole left by a utility company; when he comes back to retrieve it, he sees the car has been ransacked. Davis is inspired to run for public office on a campaign platform of raising money for city improvements through legalizing and taxing marijuana ("Pot for potholes!"). Creighton films a YouTube video, responding to those who have questioned whether New Orleans is worth saving and signs off with, "Fuck you, you fucking fucks". He is later recognized around town by many admirers of his rant. Delmond's manager convinces him to play a New Orleans-focused tour, despite Delmond's reluctance. Toni finally gets official DNA test results that prove the prisoner using the name Daymo Brooks is not Daymo but an accused murderer named Keevon White. Off-the-record, Keevon admits to switching bracelets with Daymo after the storm, claiming that Daymo agreed to swap in exchange for Keevon's protection in jail but says he doesn’t know where Daymo went after that. Toni has been unsuccessful in finding Antoine's confiscated trombone. Sonny's friends convince him to come to Houston to play at a roadhouse and he makes Annie promise not to play with any other pianists while he's gone.

The roadhouse bouncer, Arnie, is staying with Annie and Sonny and confirms Annie's suspicions that Sonny bought drugs while in Houston. Still searching for Antoine's trombone, Toni gives him a connection to a group of wealthy Japanese jazz fans seeking to help New Orleans musicians. One of these fans comes to meet Antoine, buys him a brand-new trombone and gives him a wad of cash. Antoine then discovers his own instrument in a pawn shop. When Toni confronts the police lieutenant about his officers' having pawned Antoine’s trombone, he tells her about the huge issues he's facing with officer morale and says he can’t get upset about a trombone. Albert presses a city council member, Ron Singleton, about why the projects have been closed since Katrina despite incurring no serious damage but Singleton says that reopening the projects isn't up to him. Davis enlists an all-star roster of local musicians to play for free on a recording of his anti-government anthem, "Shame, Shame, Shame". Creighton records another angry YouTube rant but brushes off a query from Toni about getting back to work on his novel, saying he has to focus on planning the upcoming Krewe du Vieux parade for Carnival. Working to prove to the courts that Daymo was in police custody during the storm, Toni discovers that he had been working at Janette's restaurant, Desautel's. Janette tells her that she talked to Daymo the morning Katrina hit but hasn’t heard from him since.

In the midst of arguing about whether Annie should accept a solo gig Sonny strikes her and she flees their home; they later reconcile despite Annie's misgivings about his drug use. An aide from Councilman Singleton's office comes to see Albert but instead of bringing news about reopening the projects, all he has to offer is a single FEMA trailer, prompting Albert to throw him out. Toni tracks down the former New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officer who arrested Daymo for an outstanding warrant on the day Katrina hit; in his abandoned police car, she is thrilled to find the citation that proves Daymo was arrested that day. When she meets with the Assistant District Attorney to request a joint motion for an emergency hearing to locate Daymo in the prison system, the ADA tells her they have a new policy against filing joint motions on emergency hearings.

Having finally proven that the NOPD had Daymo in custody during the storm, Toni wins a court motion giving the Department of Corrections 72 hours to locate him among their prisoners.

Creighton fails to resume work on his novel and ultimately drafts and films a new YouTube rant about "Katrina fatigue".

After Davis finds out that she's closed Desautel's, he helps her serve food at an outdoor festival. Albert takes up residence inside the Calliope Projects, hoping the publicity from his arrest will pressure the government into reopening the buildings. When the police come for him, he refuses to kneel to be handcuffed and is viciously beaten for resisting arrest.
