[Mike] What else do you see?

[Tess] I don't-
at least not much.

Solving cases
isn't always about what you see.

Hey, hey, hey, sis!

You don't want to hear crap
about my wedding.

Tell me everything.

It's going pretty great,
actually.

[Sunny] I feel like
I'm getting retraumatized

every night.

[gasps]

I think that's PTSD.

Tess, I'm so stuck.

Have you thought about therapy?

Talking to someone?

25% of our tenants
are therapists.

Maybe you could call one.

[???]

[???]

[???]

[???]

? There's something
in the shadows ?

[???]

[phone rings]

[voice assistant]
Unknown caller.

Hello?

[Lucas] Tess, I messed up.
I'm in trouble.

Lucas?

What is it, what happened?

I was trying
to do something good.

You know, I thought

if I could maybe make enough
for- for a honeymoon,

or a downpayment on a house
or something,

you know, maybe surprise Craig
for the wedding,

but then everything went wrong-

Okay, just slow down.

What- what did you do?

I lost it!

Everything!

They said it would double
in a week.

They even took my phone!

Okay. Lucas...

And now I can't go home.
I can't go home.

It's over.

Nothing is over.

Listen to me.

I want you to call Craig-

No! I can't talk to him.

I can't see him.

Hey, listen to me.

Tell me where you are.
I'm coming to get you.

It's over.
[call disconnects]

Lucas.

Lucas!

[fast busy signal]

[Sunny] Tess.

Tess!

Hey?

What's going on?
You okay?

Can you tell me a bit
about your daughter,

Mrs. Okeke?

She looks frightened.

We're here to help.

I promise.

I get nervous being here.

My community has had...

bad experiences.

You ask for help
and you don't get it.

Or you end up
being a suspect yourself.

I hear you...

...and if it makes
any difference,

I'm not an officer.

I'm just a consultant.

Why don't you tell me something
about your daughter?

What's her favourite food?

Cream of mushroom soup.

-Oof.
-I know.

My husband and I can't stand it.

Good. She's relaxing.

Aretha's in
her last year of college,

so she's busy.

Always on the go.

But...

she always makes time
to sing in our church's choir.

My husband's the pastor.

He teases the new members...

"Once you hear
our daughter sing-"

We'll need to speak
to your husband as well.

He doesn't know that I'm here.

He wants to keep the police
out of it.

When's the last time
you spoke to her?

Two days ago.

Um...

This is a video

from the church's
security camera.

It was taken the night
Aretha disappeared.

[Sunny] It's black and white
security footage of a woman.

She's wearing a hoodie.

She's trying
to get into the church,

but it's locked.

Mrs. Okeke,
do you have any idea

who your daughter
might be running from?

I don't know.

I don't...
I don't know.

We're going to find her.

I promise.

[Lucas] Hi. I'm super busy

and totally not screening
your call right now, I swear.

Leave a message.
[beep]

Lucas, I know
you don't have your phone,

but I hope
you're checking your messages.

What is going on?

Craig keeps calling me

and I don't know
what to tell him.

Look, I know you're scared,

but nothing is unfixable, okay,

so just let me help you.

Just... let me know you're okay.

[Sunny] Veer to your right,
five paces ahead.

[Nnamdi]
Despite what you think,

money cannot solve everything,
Stephen!

[Stephen]
But it can help, Nnamdi.

Life does not consist

in an abundance
of possessions-

-Dad, he doesn't want it-
-So why not?

Two older men are arguing.

The younger one's
trying to calm them down.

[Nnamdi] Have you forgotten

that "the love of money

is the root
of all kinds of evil"?

[Sunny] Wow, this must be
the pastor,

Dionne's husband, Nnamdi.

I am offering a reward
to help find your daughter.

I do not need your help
to take care of my family.

-Hey.
-[Sunny] It's getting physical.

[Tess] Pastor Okeke.

I understand you're upset,

but our best shot
at finding your daughter

is by working together.

Who are you?

I'm Tess Avery.

I'm a consultant
with the police.

Dionne spoke to you?

Sir, your wife is scared.

and she just wants
the same thing you want-

the same thing I want-

your daughter Aretha home,

safe and sound.

I protect my family.

Not you!

I'm sorry about this.

We're all very worried.

I'm Stephen,

the church's choir director.

And this is my son, Reggie.

How can we help?

? Holy, holy, holy... ?

[Sunny] Aretha's singing.

Stephen's playing piano.

She has a real talent.

? God in three persons... ?

? Blessed Trinity ?

When's the last time
you saw Aretha?

Four days ago.

We rehearsed together.

And did either of you
notice anything unusual

about her behaviour recently?

The last few months,

she'd been showing up
pretty late to choir,

and I noticed
she was kind of distracted-

Which was not like her.

I assumed
it was college-related.

She puts a lot of pressure
on herself to achieve-

something I pray
that Reggie learns one day.

The son has more to say.

After my wife died,

the Okekes were there for us.

Helped me take care of Reggie
while I worked.

? If you need ripe breadfruit ?

? A.S.A.P... ?

? Call us up at... ?

? S.T.P. ?

Okay, Dad, cut it out.

[phone rings]

[phone rings]

S.T.P. needs some TLC.

[phone rings]

We just finished a reno.

Pastor Nnamdi
insists on perfection, so...

[Sunny] Watch your left.

[Reggie]
...he did most of it himself.

Good, right?

[Tess] Yeah...

[Sunny] Reggie-
straight ahead.

[Reggie] This is where

Aretha keeps
all her music stuff.

She's always rehearsing
with my dad.

[Sunny] A notebook-

cool design-

sheet music...

Reggie, I got the sense

there was something else

that you wanted
to share earlier.

Aretha dropped out of school
three months ago,

but she told me
not to tell anyone.

Do you know why?

No, but it might have

something to do with the guy
she's been seeing secretly.

Why wouldn't she tell anyone
she had a boyfriend?

The pastor and his wife
are very strict.

You don't want to disobey them.

[Sunny] Parking lot's
30 feet ahead.

All clear.

Aretha dropped out
three months ago,

and there's
no sign of a boyfriend

on her socials,

although, apparently,
she's good at hiding things.

She kept posting selfies
from college

for three months

after she dropped out.

Anything else?

I found an old post
of a family photo.

I think Aretha might have
a brother.

He looks a couple years older.

-Left.
-Dionne never mentioned him.

Oh, there's Leo,
seven steps ahead.

-He's standing next to a car.
-Leo.

-Hey.
-Hey. This Aretha's?

Yeah.

Parking attendant found it

with the driver's door
wide open,

the key fob in the cup holder.

Any CCTV?

No.

But we do have signs
of a potential struggle.

The rearview mirror's banged up,

there's makeup
on the driver's seat-

and a whole lotta sequins.

Can I get a closer look?

Uncover your camera.

There's something
on the carseat.

Stop.

Red lipstick.

Glittery makeup.

Plus the sequins.

This is far more glamorous
than the Aretha I've seen.

On the security footage
at the church,

she was wearing
sweats and a hoodie.

-Thanks.
-[Leo] Tess?

[Tess] Yeah?

I also found this.

It's a guitar pick.

"For my #1 soloist,

love S.T.P."

And some kind of spiral sticker.

S.T.P. Importers-

that's Stephen's company
and his initials.

A gift from her choir director.

[Sunny] That's the same symbol

as the one
on Aretha's music book

at the church.

Okay, I'm doing an image search.

Redux Bar...

I think I might know

where Aretha's been wearing
that red lipstick.

? We are here in this world ?

? And we can't be
messin' around... ?

Wow. What am I listening to?

Aretha's band-

Coco and Dasheen.

I found them
on the bar's Instagram.

You know,
they've performed there

almost a dozen times
over the last three months.

Starting when
she dropped out of college.

Exactly.

Oh, and Tess,

she's wearing a pink wig,

heels, sequin dress,

and red lipstick.

This is definitely not
the Aretha her parents know.

We should talk
to her band mates.

And Stephen, again.

You know that personalized
guitar pick he gave her?

He might know
more than he's saying.

Maybe he's the reason

she was at the church
that night.

[Sunny] Yeah, maybe.

Maybe he's why she was scared.

Why is she running
in that video?

I mean, why run to the church

instead of going home?

Shame...

for dropping out...

or having a boyfriend,

or the assault.

It's hard
for first-generation kids.

The pressure to be perfect

can feel like life or death.

Or maybe
she's not running anymore.

Maybe whoever was chasing her
caught up.

Let's see how close
she and Stephen are.

[phone rings]

[voice assistant] Call from
Superintendent Bennett.

Hang on.

Sir?

Tess, Stephen Pearson
was attacked.

He was found in a pool of blood.

-When?
-Unclear.

We need you at the church, ASAP.

Okay, I'm coming in right now.

[Sunny] There's Leo,
11 o'clock.

[Tess] Leo, hey, what happened?

[Leo] Stephen Pearson,

the church's choir director,

was found stabbed
multiple times.

Ambulance just took him to VGH,

but he's gonna need a miracle.

He's in critical condition.

Your missing persons case

may have just turned into
a homicide.

l,'s so f,

but I can't place it.

I can't believe

we were just talking to him
earlier today.

[Leo] Tess, Forensics just got

the download
from the surgical team.

They found flecks

of a white substance
in the wound

and a couple strands
of pink hair on Stephen's body.

Entry wound was jagged,

suggesting a serrated blade.

Anything else from FIS?

His phone and wallet
are missing as well.

The church
has had break-ins before,

but never a violent attack
like this.

Whoever it was

ripped the security cameras
right out of the wall.

Tess, the wig.

Aretha Okeke-

she wears a pink wig on stage.

Where is he?

-Where is he?
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

You need to calm down.

[Sunny] It's Reggie.
With Aretha's parents.

Hey, Reggie, hey.

Look, I am sorry,

but until we've had
the chance to talk to him,

nobody is going in there.

This is an attempted homicide
investigation.

Investigation?

This boy
is talking about his father.

Sweetheart, please.

I understand
everyone is upset...

...but the best thing
you can do right now

is help us find who did this.

Help you?

You were supposed to help us!

Now look at what's happened!

I am done talking to you people.

I thought you were different.

Are you still
searching for my daughter?

Or is a missing Black girl

not as exciting
as Stephen's attack?

Did you know that your daughter

dropped out of school
three months ago?

[Sunny] Gonna say he didn't.

That is impossible.

We also have information

indicating that she might have
a boyfriend.

Do you have any idea
who that could be?

I do not.

You and the choir director

don't seem to get along
too well.

I have known Stephen
for over 20 years.

He is like a brother to me,

and like brothers,

we...

we sometimes disagree.

Yes, I witnessed
one of those disagreements.

I think I'd call it
more of a fight.

[Sunny] Tess, there's a bandage
on his right hand.

What happened to your hand?

I cut myself.

Installing drywall.

[Leo] Do you know anyone

who would want to hurt
your father?

He runs a successful business.

Clients or competitors?

Disgruntled employees?

No.

Everybody loves my dad.

He gives a lot
to the community.

He gives everything
to the community.

I mean, he's barely home.

Where were you

when your father
was attacked, Reggie?

I was at a pastor's meeting.

I came home
after my wife was asleep.

Was she home all night?

Yes.

She had a zoom with her sister.

You have a son, correct?

His name is Fraser?

Does Aretha have contact
with him?

[Sunny] He does not look happy.

No.

None of us do.

He got involved with drugs.

He has not been
part of our family

for a long time now.

[Tess] Do you recognize this?

"Love, S.T.P."

Those are Stephen's initials.

Does he often give Aretha gifts?

[Sunny]
You caught him off-guard.

[Leo] The missing girl-

she remains a person of interest
in the attempted homicide.

The gift from Stephen,

the pink hair that could
place her at the scene,

her continued disappearance-

it adds up.

Let's see what comes back
on the hair.

What about Stephen's son?

Reggie has an alibi.

We're checking it.

We should check
the pastor and his wife, too.

If Aretha and Stephen
do have a relationship,

I can't imagine him reacting
with a cool head.

And he has a cut on his hand.

Have you spoken
with Aretha's band?

Their alibis all check out.

But no one was aware
of a boyfriend.

Nnamdi was refusing
Stephen's offer

of a reward
to help find Aretha.

You think he'd be happy
to have a reward posted.

Well, definitely
not from Stephen.

Well, maybe Nnamdi knows

something about
Stephen's business

that we don't.

His company's financials
just came in.

I know somebody
who can help check them out.

I don't want to know.

So you still haven't heard
from Lucas either?

Not since
the day before yesterday,

but he sounded like
a million bucks.

Yeah, well, yesterday,

he sounded like
he'd lost it all,

and now...

I don't even know where he is.

You think he did this
on purpose?

To blow things up with Craig?

Felt the white picket fence
closing in on him.

[Tess] I don't know.

Maybe.

[Matt] In my experience,

if Lucas
doesn't want to be found,

you ain't gonna find him.

But he always comes back.

He's gonna be okay, Tess.

Trust me.

That's what I told
Aretha's mom.

Okay, so I created an algorithm

to flag anomalies
in Stephen's finances,

and we've got...

several small payments
made three months ago

to a Dionne Okeke.

[Sunny] Aretha's mother.

[Matt] Looks like
they total 10,000.

Tess,

that timing lines up

with when Aretha dropped out
and joined the band.

I'm starting to feel like

Dionne knows more
than she's letting on.

You're gonna have to eat
humble pie

to get back into her good books.

Want to drive me
to the pie shop?

You're buying.

Yup. Uh-huh.

[Bennett] Leo.

Thank you.

A uniform at the church

found a cell phone
in a garbage bin.

They think
it belongs to Stephen Pearson.

They're bringing it in now.

What did you learn?

Reggie's alibi holds.

He signed into
an editing suite at college

the night
his father was attacked.

And a zoom log confirms

Dionne and her sister
talked for two hours

that same night.

What about Nnamdi?

This is where
it gets interesting.

He never showed up
at his pastor's meeting.

Also,

someone fitting
Aretha's description

was caught on CCTV
near the church

the night
Stephen was attacked there.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking maybe Nnamdi
found his daughter with Stephen

and didn't like what he saw.

So Nnamdi could be
our attacker.

Can you talk to me

about the money
Stephen gave you?

That was for my son.

Fraser.

A way to make up for the time
he spent on his own.

He lives across the country now.
He's doing well.

He has student loans.

I was told
you weren't on speaking terms.

We reconnected
a few months ago.

Nnamdi doesn't know.

Or he pretends not to.

I called Fraser today

to see if he'd heard
from Aretha.

And...

to tell him the news
about Stephen.

And what did he say?

He hadn't heard from Aretha,

but he knew
she was playing in a band.

I was so upset
he hadn't told me,

or at least to tell me

that he and Aretha
were speaking again.

But then I realized...

I'm doing the same thing
with Fraser and Nnamdi.

[Sunny]
This family's got secrets.

Does your husband know
about the money from Stephen?

[Sunny]
You've hit on something.

I think so.

I think that's why
he's been so angry lately.

He just hated the fact

that I brought Stephen
into our private business.

That's why he was so upset
at the church.

Stephen's offer of a reward-

your husband thought

he was throwing money
at your family again.

Nnamdi is gentle.

Compassionate.

But he has a temper.
Always has.

He tries to fight it,

but...

it's always there...

inside him.

And when this temper
gets hold of him,

what do you think
he's capable of?

So Nnamdi hated that Stephen

got involved
in his family's affairs.

Add in Stephen's connection
to Aretha

and the fact
that she goes missing-

it could be
an explosive cocktail.

[Matt] My dad
would have kicked some ass

if he ever thought

one of his friends
was hitting up my sister.

Sounds like my mom.

The amount of fear

she would put into people
twice her size.

You know,
I remember one time...

...she was screaming
at my teacher

for giving me a B-minus.

Everyone at school
could hear her.

That's how she showed love.

She would have killed
for her kids.

[Tess]
You never talk about her.

Her name is Varneet.

It means calm.

She's anything but.

[Matt] Hang on.

We're just turning into
the hospital.

[???]

[Sunny] Reggie's seated
against the wall

and to the right, three paces.

Hi, Reggie.

They told me
your dad's still unconscious,

but he can have visitors now.

Don't you want to be
in there with him

in case he wakes up?

I can't go in there.

I can't see him like that.

My whole life,

my father's
always been invincible,

untouchable.

He was the strongest man I knew.

He's still strong.

He's alive.

You know, a lot of people

would never survive
what he's gone through.

You think he'll wake up?

[Tess] I don't know.

They're doing the best they can.

So have you guys
found Aretha, or?

No.

Did you know she was playing
in a band at night?

No,

but that makes sense
why she was always tired.

I wish she'd told me.

I thought you two were close.

We grew up together
like siblings,

but...

the last few months,
she's been really distant.

I've only seen her

when she was rehearsing
with Dad.

He seems to give her
a lot of his time.

That's because...

she reminds him of my mother.

Um...

she was a singer, too.

When it comes to me,

I think I just remind him
of everything he's lost.

Tell me about
Aretha's brother, Fraser?

Um...

he was older,

did his own thing.

I heard he got
really messed up with drugs.

Did you know your father
was helping him out?

[Sunny] He definitely didn't.

There's something
he's not telling us.

Tess, I think we'd better
look at that crime scene.

There are still
evidence markers in place.

You know, it's so strange,

growing up and realizing

that you don't know
as much about your parents

as you thought.

My mom kept her sight loss
a secret from us.

Who knows
what else she didn't tell us.

Some secrets
are better left hidden.

I'm guessing you haven't
picked a therapist yet?

Look, I'm not seeing
anything here.

The choir room
is down the hall to the left.

Let's go there.

And let's...

stay focused.

Find the wall on your left.

Follow it five paces.

Steps down.

Four...

three...

two...

Shelves to your right.

15 paces to the music room.

[Tess] Oh...

that's weird.

-What?
-This spot...

it feels different.

Well, Nnamdi was doing repairs.

Yeah, but all the other spots
he patched were smooth.

This one's rough and flaky.

The paint feels damp.

[Sunny] Stick your camera in.

I'll go to night vision.

[Tess] Do you see anything?

[Sunny] No. There's just
a bunch of wires and wall studs.

Wait, wait, wait. Stop.

I saw something shiny.

Twist your camera...

10 degrees right.

Oh, my God...

What? What is it?

I think we just found

the weapon
that was used in the attack.

Forensics confirmed,

the blood on the jab saw
is Stephen's.

And the debris in his wound
is drywall dust.

Nnamdi was doing renovations-

the tools were his.

But they didn't find
any prints on the saw?

Doesn't matter-

because we just pulled
this voicemail

off Stephen's phone,

left hours before the attack.

[Nnamdi] I told you

to stay away
from my family, Stephen.

I don't care
how much money you throw around,

you cannot buy my daughter
to replace your wife.

I know what you've been
doing to her,

so listen to me
and listen to me well-

if I catch you
with Aretha again,

I'll kill you.

Maybe Nnamdi's more than
just a man of God.

[door opening]

Thanks for coming in
voluntarily, Mr. Okeke.

If you think my story
will change,

you are mistaken.

I am still innocent.

[phone playing video
of Aretha's band]

[Aretha]
? We are here in this world ?

? And we can't be
messin' around ?

[Sunny] Oh, he's surprised.

He's definitely
never seen that before.

I take it you had no idea
your daughter was in a band?

I have not seen her
smile this big since-

You have found her?

[Bennett]
We're still searching.

And you still
haven't given us an alibi

for the night
of Stephen's attack.

He reminds me of my dad.

He would rather be
drenched in the rain

than admit that he should have
brought an umbrella.

You remind me of my father.

I just said that.

[Bennett]
He's a proud Jamaican man.

He could talk for hours about
his favourite cricket team,

but I can count on one hand

the number of times
that man told me he loved me.

It wasn't until my 20s

that I realized that...

he saw sentimentality
as weakness.

I had to learn to break
that cycle with my own kids.

Sometimes, the best way
to support our children

is to...

show them our vulnerabilities.

"My grace
is sufficient for you,

for my strength is made perfect
in weakness."

Second Corinthians 12.

Second Corinthians 12, right?

[Sunny] Oh, he liked that.

You're speaking his language.

[Tess] Mr. Okeke,

the best way for you
to help your daughter

is to tell us the truth.

What's the point in being strong
if it breaks your family apart?

Where were you
the night Stephen was attacked?

When I first came to Canada,

it was a bigger shock
than I expected.

I missed Nigeria.

I started drinking.

It helped dull the fear I felt.

And I did some things
I was not always proud of.

But when Fraser was born,
I stopped.

I found my faith again-

and I thought
I had finally beaten

that demon.

That is why I kicked Fraser out.

I found drugs in his room...

and I was terrified

he would make
the same mistakes I made.

But I didn't know
how to help him.

And then Aretha went missing.

I broke.

It was only two days,

but it was two days I...

I cannot remember.

The night Stephen was attacked,

I went to my first AA meeting
in 33 years.

I did not even tell Dionne.

I did not want her
to think less of me.

Seeking help isn't a weakness.

[Nnamdi] I know that,

but we demand
a lot of each other-

perhaps too much.

Like many,
our relationship is complicated.

I thought the evidence
would set me free,

but the police say

there's a recording
of me threatening Stephen.

It is not true.

You just said

you can't remember
the last two days.

No.

You must listen to me.

I would never
have done a thing like that.

I have no idea
where it came from.

Say that again?

I said you must listen to me.

I never-

[door opens]

What have you got?

The recording.

It's a fake.

What are you talking about?

It was on Stephen's phone,

he received it
hours before the attack.

You're saying someone
planned the murder

and framed Nnamdi?

Leo, pull it up.

I told you to stay away
from my family, Stephen.

Fast forward.

I don't care how much money
you throw around,

you cannot buy my-

...doing to her.

So, listen to me
and listen to me well-

See?

If I catch you
with Aretha again...

The way he
pronounces "listen".

When we were talking
to Nnamdi in there,

he emphasized the "T",

but in the recording,
he doesn't.

[Sunny] And the recording
shortens "I will" to "I'll".

Nnamdi is much more formal.

Wouldn't it take
a huge amount of time

to fake a recording like this?

Well, I mean, these days,

anybody can make
a convincing deepfake

in a matter of minutes.

We're going to need more than
one mispronounced word

to throw out
this piece of evidence.

Still nothing from Lucas?

Do you think

I would field a call
from your missing brother

and not tell you?

Lucas is like a stray dog.

He'll come home
when he's ready.

Okay, I'm gonna tell my brother
you called him a dog.

I call him a dog to his face
all the time.

Okay.

Audio file was
actually created at 22:37.

Wait, but that's after

we found Stephen at the church

and after we got the voicemail.

If you know what you're doing,
you can mess with that stuff-

reset the internal clock,

make it look like
it was sent earlier.

Any idea who's going
to all this trouble?

Someone who's trying
to get away with murder.

[Tess]
Someone close to the family.

Someone who knows
about the tension

between Stephen and Nnamdi.

[Sunny] So, basically,
anyone at their church.

I mean, their antagonism
was hardly a state secret.

[voice assistant]
Voice memo from Leo.

[Leo] Hey, Tess.

The scent
we found at the church

was a mixture of feldspar,

linear sodium dodecyl
benzene sulfonate

and oxalic acid.

[Sunny]
Okay, so the first result

is a cleaning product
called "Bar Blitz".

"Bar Blitz"?

What was the name of the bar
where Aretha performed?

[music throbbing]

[Sunny]
I think you're gonna need

a tetanus shot after this.

Okay. Waitress-
12 o'clock.

-That's it.
-What is it?

I know that smell.

I remember it
from the crime scene.

What can I get ya?

I'm Tess Avery.

I'm a consultant with Metro PD.

My answer's the same
as it was for the last cop-

I haven't seen Aretha
since she disappeared.

You know, this place smells

just like a guy I know

who was almost killed
last night.

A guy that was very close
to your friend, Aretha.

You can tell me where she is

or we can keep talking
somewhere less comfortable.

I told you already-

I haven't seen her.

All right,
less comfortable it is.

[Aretha] Who was hurt?

Was it Stephen?

Is he all right?

I can't hide anymore.

I'm Aretha.

She's playing with her water.

She won't meet your eye.

So, you've been hiding
at the bar this whole time.

Jade let me crash in the back.

I've been helping out.

Earning my keep.

That explains the Bar Blitz
on Stephen's jacket.

What happened
between you and Stephen?

Why did you run away?

I didn't mean
to cause so much trouble.

I just didn't know
what else to do.

[Sunny] She looks scared, Tess.

Like really scared.

Whatever happened to her...

I don't think it was good.

I get it.

I doubt that.

You know,

when I was a kid,

and things would get messy...

...sometimes,
I would just leave,

just pretend
that whole mess didn't exist.

Of course, it still did.

My brother still does that
sometimes.

[Sunny]
She's looking at you now.

Keep going,
you're getting through.

[Tess] This one time...

I was fighting with my mom.

I don't remember what about...

...but after she fell asleep,

I snuck out the window,

and, um...

What happened?

A house fire.

My brother managed to get out.
She didn't.

And I always wonder...

[exhales]

...would she still be here
if I had stuck around.

That's a heavy thing
to carry around.

Aretha, I have spent
the last two days

getting to know your family...

...and it seems like

you're all carrying
way more than your fair share.

Don't you think maybe it's time
to set some of that down?

[Sunny] Reggie's sitting

in the corner
of his father's hospital room.

Oh, Tess, the bed's empty.

[knocking]

[Reggie] The doctor just left.

He told me he passed
20 minutes ago.

I'm sorry.

Maybe that's not
why you're here.

We've talked to a lot of people
about your father, Reggie.

And about Aretha.

You think she had
something to do with this?

I mean...

I don't see it, but...

then again, it's not like

any of us knew
who she really was, right?

Were you ever jealous
of her and your father?

It was cool.

It gave me more time

to focus on the things
I actually cared about,

like school,

instead of spending my time

trying to be the son
he wanted me to be.

Right?
What did you study again?

Audio engineering.

Did you offer to help
Aretha and her band?

Coco And Dasheen
aren't exactly...

ready for recording yet.

They're still
figuring out their sound.

I thought you didn't know
Aretha was in a band.

He knows he's stepped in it.

No, she-
she told me.

I guess I'm so used to
keeping her secrets for her.

Look, aren't you supposed
to be here

to ask me about
Nnamdi killing my dad?

Is that the plan?

He's getting angry.
Careful, Tess.

You think I killed my father?

Just because
I was jealous of Aretha?

[Aretha] No.

Because I told him
you tried to rape me.

You tried to kiss me in my car,

and when I pushed you off,
you wouldn't stop.

[Reggie] That's a lie.
She's lying.

You said you were going
to tell my parents everything,

and they'd disown me,
just like my brother.

When I didn't give you
what you wanted,

you tried to take it.

That's not how it happened!

I didn't know what else to do.

I just wanted to hide.

I wanted to hide so bad,

but I didn't want you to win.

So I thought if I told Stephen,
he could help me,

maybe even help you,

but you killed him
before he got the chance.

Because he chose you over me!

Why?

I was his son.

Everything you touched
turned to gold-

and everything I touched-

You led me on for months

while I hid your secret life
from your parents.

And then the one time
I return your affection,

you run to my father
and you cry rape?

I didn't mean to hurt him.

He- he just
wouldn't listen to me-

and then he tried
calling the cops-

on his only son.

So you attacked him
with whatever you could find-

the drywall saw.

You made it look like a robbery.

You ripped out
the security cameras,

you took his wallet
and his phone...

But when you realized
we were interested in Nnamdi,

you saw an even better option.

You used AI
on a school computer

to create
the voicemail deepfake.

My father
always looked out for you.

Why you and not me?

He's moving towards Aretha.

Okay, take a step back, Reggie.

I took from you?

What about what I lost?

What about
what you took from me?

I said take a step back!

I didn't mean to hurt her,
okay? I swear.

You "didn't mean to"?

What, you just lost control,

and somehow it's my fault
and your father's?

I didn't mean to hurt anyone-

-Tess!
-You've got to believe me.

Get down!

Security!
Stay down.

Yeah, but...

now that everything
is out in the open,

maybe they can start to rebuild.

Yeah.

Maybe Lucas can do that
with Craig?

I don't know.

I just hope he's okay.

Do you really think

that laying it all out there

is the only way
to move forward?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm not exactly
an open book.

You were with Aretha.

Well, that was
a tactic for the case.

But what's that saying?

"The truth will set you free"?

[Sunny]
Well, if that's the case,

then that shirt
is at least three seasons old.

Okay, style guru...

...then how about this?

[Sunny] Better.

Complements your undertones.

Undertones...

Where do you get this stuff?

What if they tell me I'm crazy?

They who?

A therapist.

Look, Sunny...

...in my time on the force,

I worked with
a lot of really strong people,

so believe me when I say

you are one of the most
badass women I've ever known.

Maybe I could get,
like, a two-for-one discount,

and we can sort out
all of our issues together.

I don't have issues.

[laughs]

I forget how funny you are.

How does this look?

You look like you're going

to an Eastern European
grunge discotheque.

Perfect.

Perfect.

[music throbbing]

To sticky floors and
ringing ears tomorrow morning.

Yeah.

Hey, so where's Mia tonight?

Sorry, what?
I can't- I can't hear you.

It's too loud.

-You're spilling my drink.
-I'll buy you a new one.

Hey. Hey.

He's gonna be okay.

Your brother is a survivor.

[Aretha, over mic] Hello!

[cheering]

Hope you're all
having a good night.

We're Coco And Dasheen.

But before we start...

I want to thank my parents

for staying up
past their bedtime-

and going way outside
of their comfort zone

to come out here tonight.

[applause]

But just because they're here

doesn't mean
we can't have some fun.

[cheering]

Let's kick it.

[cheering]

[???]

? Hey! ?

? No, no, no, no, no ?

? We are out here
in this world ?

? And we can't be
messing around ?

? Take that fire you got
deep inside ?

? And burn this house
to the ground ?

? You're gonna know
my name ?

? You're gonna
know my name! ?

[???]

Whoo!

[???]

? Baby, baby... ?

? Let's set this world
on fire ?

? Baby, baby... ?

? Let's set this world
on fire ?

? Fire burning hot ?

? Fire burning hot... ?

? Fire burning hot... ?

? Fire burning hot ?

? Let it go! ?

? Mama, give this
warrior child a name ?

? To stand out in the crowd ?

? We all got 15 minutes
to do this sh- ?

? And I'm gonna do her proud ?

? You're gonna know my name ?

? From the Mississippi
to the Rhine ?

? You're gonna know my name... ?

? You're gonna know my name ?
