In Order to Protect Brando, Sasha Tells Cyrus [Spoiler] Is the Father of Her Baby

Dante stops by Sam’s place and rolls one of his flat tires into her living room, asking if it looks familiar. Sam says it’s a good-looking tire, and whoever patched it up did a good job. He accuses her of slashing his tires and hands her the bill. He doesn’t understand why she’d risk her freedom to help Jason escape. However, Dante reveals she did him a favor and made him realize how close Jason was, and he found evidence that Jason and Britt were in a nearby barn. He then followed the trail to Canada and has alerted the Canadian authorities.

Sam suggests if he wants to build a real case then he should be looking for the actual killer. Dante doesn’t believe Jason is guilty but he was ordered to find him and that’s what he’s going to do. Sam wishes him luck and asks Dante how much she owes him. He indicates this is more than about the money. He says if it was any other cop then she would be arrested and headed back to Pentonville. He tells her if she pays for the tires and stays out of his way then they’ll call it even. Sam writes him a check, and he reminds her next time she goes rogue that she might not get a cop as nice and handsome as him. Dante heads out, and there is a knock at the door. She assumes it’s Dante back for more, but she finds nobody there and her check torn up on the ground.
