Chance: “The Unflinching Spark” sees everything fall apart for Eldon. The episode picks up right after the accident. Not only does Chance find out that Jaclyn has been playing him, but his daughter seems to have inherited some of his mental issues.
Raymond did not die from the knife wound and he is in hospital recovering from the knife that D put in his chest. Eldon learns that the other man killed by D was not a cop.
At the home front, Chance questions his daughter about the boy she is supposed to be stalking. Nicole downplays the incident and says her former boyfriend’s parents are over protective.
Eldon is let go from his recent job as psychiatric expert when the file containing information about his breakdown is delivered to his employer. Raymond is obviously behind the gesture.
Jaclyn arrives at Eldon’s office and they talk. She tells him that the black knight chess piece was found at a thrift store. “It reminded me of you,” she says. Later Chance will find another black knight at Raymond’s place.
The two go to his apartment and have sex. Jaclyn tells Eldon that they should not see each other again. Later he learns that Nicole lied to him about what she was doing with her ex boyfriend.
D and Eldon enter Raymond’s apartment. D plants some evidence to thrown the cop off the trail. He spray paints the symbol for vengeance on a painting. It is here that Chance finds the other chess piece.
After the break-in, he and his ex meet with the parents of the lad that Nicole is stalking. It turns out that she was obsessively sending him texts. After being blocked off his account, she then created false names so she could continue her smear campaign.
After D killed the goon outside Raymond’s bordello and then threw the knife into Jaclyn’s husband, things have spiraled out of control. Nicky apparently takes after her father with obsessive behavior and Raymond is clearly moving against Eldon.
Chance goes home and hears men’s voices in his apartment. He heads back downstairs and finds two more men waiting outside his building. Eldon hides in a neighbor’s apartment as the men in his flat leave.
He goes to D’s and finds the door open. As he cautiously enters the room, he stumbles over D laying on the floor. It appears that the big man is dead, killed by the same men who were waiting for Chance in his apartment.
If that is the case, then Raymond, who is in the hospital with a collapsed lung, is orchestrating the retaliation from his bed. It looks like Jaclyn has been playing both men off one another.
The appearance of the other black knight chess piece seems to indicate, at the very least, that she lied about the thing. Chance’s reaction to finding the piece suggests he had no idea she is not genuine.
Eldon is clearly obsessed with Jaclyn so it may not matter in the end if she is not as she appears. What will matter is D’s death, if he is indeed dead. After helping Chance escalate things against Blackstone, the doctor will be hopelessly out of his depth if D is gone.

I think its called a karambit.
It sounds like he called it a “sunk-it” but I haven’t been able to find anything that resembles it.
Good question! Haven’t got a Scooby myself. Anyone out there know what blade wound up in said goon’s chest?
What was the knife called that D used to kill the goon?
