Jess and Michael arrive at Anna's gravestone to a bitter surprise. But, their heroine is one step ahead. In the season finale of Mob Queens, Anna Genovese proves she had the last word.

Anna's husband makes it to the top of the American Mafia, but only just in time for it all to come crashing down. As Vito's kingdom burns, Anna's words from 1953 continue to stoke the flames. Now the question remains: how much of it did Anna intend to destroy?

After her day in court, everyone knows Anna Genovese has a real story to tell. But now, she's going underground – literally. As she waits for the judge to decide on her separate maintenance claim, she opens a new nightclub and earns a new reputation that lives on today.

Anna does what no mob wife has done before or since. Her Vito exit strategy looks like a death wish, but the Queen's sacrifice may be her most calculated chess move yet.

A special agent for the US captures Vito in Italy. A Senate Committee in New York makes things uncomfortable for the mob. And tensions reach a boiling point between Anna and her husband, until something has to give.

Jessica and Michael's private investigation tactics pay off, and a new source brings Anna Genovese into sharp focus. What they thought was a story about The Family, turns out to be just as much about family.

Gay prohibition. Sexual segregation. A time when being gay was not okay. But leave it to the mob and Anna Genovese to cash in on these forbidden fruits.
