"Aunt Marge, how do you think this is going to end? You kill me and everything goes back to normal? The Karnellis pass over all their own Family to make you the boss?"

Plot Summary

The Maggia have descended into an internal gang war. X-Force develops intelligence about a last ditch effort to avoid total war, with the five family heads meeting to try and resolve the issues. They also discover that both Madam Masque and Rushman have made plans to hit the meeting with third parties - Tomestone and his bikers for Rushman, and Silver Sable and her mercenaries for Madam Masque. Recognizing that a bloodbath would plunge the city into chaos, North, Natasha and Jubilee take on Tombstone and his bikers but things do not go to plan as North is captured by Hammerhead's men. Meanwhile, Kevin picks up Wanda to help him deal with Silver Sable International. Later, Natasha and Jubilee hit the Karnelli stronghold in order to give Sarah a way through, after which Sarah confronts her Aunt and kills her.

North is tortured by semi-drowning by Hammerhead. Kevin and Wanda assault on Hammerhead’s base in order to get to North. Felicia confronts the man who killed her father but she's forced to let him live in order to have any chance of learning who was ultimately responsible. North is finally rescued at the brink of death by Felicia, Kevin and Wanda. In the end, Madame Masque is able to take the head of a badly weakened Maggia, and it is revealed that her coup was engineered by another person, who is now possibly the most powerful organized crime figure in the city secretly.

The plot is named after the Alpachin Meeting, a summit of the U.S.'s top Mafia bosses in 1957 and which led to the arrest of over 60 of them after police became suspicious about the number of luxury cars gathering in a town of less than 5000 people.
