Mercifully, things work out. Ellie goes into labor early but survives, as does the baby, a girl named Isabella. But the threat of Yancy’s ex-wife looms large. Sideny has not been found by police, so she could attack again.
Yancy gets a text from an unknown number asking him to meet up. He goes to an abandoned warehouse, and it’s not Sidney, but Freddie (Kenneth Miller), who Yancy owes $80,000as part of the grift he and Sidney worked on Staten’s father to get him to buy an old plot of land, lying about oil reserves underneath them. Turns out, Freddie doesn’t want the money, and the old land actually does have oil underneath it. Instead of a mere 80 grand, they could make millions. It puts Yancy in an extremely precarious position, continuing to work with a dangerous con man, something Ellie deeply disapproves of. Will working with Freddie be the start of a slippery slope in Ellie and Yancy’s relationship, another example of Yancy working against the law like he did with Sidney?
