Ask Your Own Question
What is the plot?
Back in Liverpool, Michael begins acting as if he is the one in charge, and the atmosphere around him turns tense as the people around the gang register that a shift in power is happening.
At the same time, Michael and Diana's IVF treatment is successful, and the news gives their relationship a private, hopeful turn amid the growing instability in Michael's criminal life.
The episode's available synopsis does not provide a more detailed beat-by-beat account of the rest of the story, so I can only confirm these two main developments from the sources available.
What is the ending?
In the ending of episode 4, Michael comes back to Liverpool still shaken from what happened on the ferry, and the tension around him gets worse as he moves into a more central position. At the same time, Diana's IVF is successful, which gives her and Michael a deeply personal moment of hope in the middle of all the criminal chaos.
The episode ends with the power struggle still hanging in the air. Ronnie is still weighing whether to hand control of his empire to Jamie or to Michael, while Michael and Jamie remain locked in suspicion and conflict over the missing drugs and the ferry incident.
Michael's fate at the end of the episode is that he is alive, active, and increasingly in control, but under pressure. Jamie's fate is that he is still in the fight, still denying involvement, and still trying to protect his position in the family power struggle. Ronnie's fate is that he is still alive and still undecided about succession. Diana's fate is that her IVF has succeeded, leaving her and Michael with the possibility of a child together.
Scene by scene, the ending moves in this order: the ferry fallout is still in play, Michael returns to Liverpool, and the suspicion around Jamie intensifies. Michael tells Bobby that Jamie spiked his drink on the ferry, and Jamie later arrives and denies it, keeping the accusation alive rather than resolving it. From there, the episode settles into the larger conflict again: Ronnie reflects on retirement and who should inherit his position, while Michael's personal life is lifted by the success of the IVF treatment.
The final stretch leaves the main characters in place for the next part of the story: Michael pushing forward, Jamie pushing back, Ronnie still choosing between them, and Diana tied to the one clear sign of hope inside the episode's violence and betrayal.
Is there a post-credit scene?

If you want, I can also give you a detailed scene-by-scene summary of Episode 4 itself.

Potentially upsetting or objectionable elements for children or sensitive viewers include:

- Strong crime-drama tension: betrayal, organized crime, and empire conflict may be stressful or upsetting even without graphic detail.
If you want, I can also give a stricter "safe for kids?" recommendation by age group.
Does the dog die?
No--there is no indication that a dog dies in Episode 4 of This City Is Ours, Season 1. The available recaps say a police dog is sent into a van to search it, but it does not find anything and the vehicle is cleared; the dog is not harmed in that scene.
If you meant a different animal or a different episode, I can check that too.
