A brief recap of The Chi season 7 episode 8
Damien's gambling habit is a core plot in The Chi season 7 episode 8, but unlike previous instances, this time, he owed money to the wrong guy. He owed Reg $5,000, and when he only managed to get $4,000, Reg beat him up to a bloody pulp.
Seeing his brother return home with a bloody face, Emmett inquired about who dared hit Damien. It's how he knew that Reg was alive, which was, at this point, still a secret to many. He went to confront Reg in Jake's apartment, but Emmett ended up getting shot.
Meanwhile, Detective Toussaint proposed a deal with Nuck. She can protect him if he helps her do one thing: bring Reg in alive. Nuck ended up agreeing to the deal for various reasons: for his son's safety and because of Reg's threat to his leadership in the mob.
