When "Ray Donovan" season 4 continues with episode 6, titled "Fish and Bird," Ray (Liev Schreiber) wrestles with the consequences of freeing Belikov (Pasha D. Lychnikoff) back to the streets.

As Ray continues to ponder on how to prevent Belikov from doing any more monkey business when he is out of prison, the pimp has already made it out.

Ray seems to have done nothing to make that happen, so first on Belikov's list is to make Ray "useful" to him as he expected him to be. This is what he sought out to do in the "Ray Donovan" season 4, episode 6 promo.

From the looks of it, Belikov has some sinister things planned for Ray as he wasted his time and failed to help. Some fans predict that Ray might end up working for the Russian mob.

It appears that Ray is really bothered by what Belikov plans for him. In the trailer for "Ray Donovan" season 4, episode 6, he has turned to his trusty confidante – alcohol.

Daryll (Pooch Hall) knows his brother is going through something tough, because why else would he drink as hard as he is in the upcoming episode if he is not in the face of a huge problem.

In the trailer for "Ray Donovan" season 4, episode, Ray can be seen with blood splatters on his face. He was also shown hitting someone unseen who he proceeds to shoot.

It is unknown who is at the receiving end, but the upcoming episode is looking extremely intense for everyone. Mickey (Jon Voight) even ended up joining Belikov in his cell when the latter was behind bars.

This might explain why Ray was the one present at the baptism of Abby's (Paula Malcomson) baby. It remains to be seen what Mickey's situation is following his incarceration.

"Ray Donovan" season 4, episode 6 "Fish and Bird" premieres Sunday, July 31 at 9 p.m. ET on Showtime.
