Her grandmother's care giver, Mrs. Saladino, recommends Meg a waitress job in a family-run Italian restaurant called 'Santalino's'. There, Meg meets Raychel and Kate and becomes... fast friends with the two. Not long after starting, Meg discovers exactly what kind of clientele she is serving, the Mob. Meg becomes an adored fixture and valued asset due to her medical training, offering medical advice to several of the mobsters. One night she becomes the focus of anger from one of the mob men, who slaps her. This led to Frankie and Mr. Santalino to kill the man. Frankie forcifily orders Meg to chop up the body. Now realizing what she has gotten into she decides she needs to get out as fast as possible.
