Neveah visits Lawrence, the man her mother was kissing the night before she disappeared, at a senior living center. Lawrence explains they were close friends, not lovers, and that the night in question was the only time anything physical happened. Bonita had been crying about Keith loving the crematory more than her. When Keith caught them, Lawrence describes a heartbroken, terrifying look on his face, and notes Bonita slipped her heart-shaped diamond ring back on. Lawrence admits he has long suspected Keith killed her.

Driving away, Neveah wrestles with confirmation bias versus her gut feeling that her father murdered her mother. She acknowledges that even if true, Keith's incapacitation in the hospital is the only justice she'll ever get, and questions what she's doing with her life.

Meanwhile, Roman uses hackers to track Lil Glock's partner who absconded with four million dollars, recognizing that if the funds are in Bitcoin they may be unrecoverable. He reflects uneasily on how he is now contemplating violent interrogation methods through Khalil, becoming the maker of messes rather than the cleaner.

Detective Chauncey Mansfield arrives, looking disheveled, and presents Roman with surveillance photographs linking him to the BBB, Jae, Dante, and Neveah. Chauncey lays out his theory connecting Roman to the BBB's recent violence and the disappearances of Yellaboy and the snitches. He demands $25,000 and for Roman to become his confidential informant, threatening to expose him to Torrent as a snitch otherwise, framing the fee as payback for Neveah's role in his marriage troubles.

Roman refuses, mocks Chauncey's deteriorated state, invokes his father's connection to the mayor, and threatens harassment charges. The confrontation nearly turns violent when Chauncey reaches for his gun; Roman makes clear he will not back down. Chauncey leaves with a warning. Roman immediately calls Khalil, signaling that Chauncey has become a problem to be solved. Khalil mentions plans to drop stolen guns in GTC territory.
