Jazz Fest takes center stage in New Orleans, giving Treme residents a welcome respite from a challenging year.
Davis gets a "job job;" Colson gets his transfer too little too late.

Toni's concerns about Creighton turn to anger; Albert and the Indians suit up for St. Joseph's night; Antoine gambles away a big payday; Davis tries to convince Janette to stay put; Annie weighs her future options. A funeral procession offers its mourners a chance to reflect on the events of the last year in New Orleans.
