A villainous white man is threatening to feed them to his pet tiger. Oso uses his belt to jam the gate separating the predator from the prey, forcing the white man to climb on top of the enclosure. When he tries to pull the barrier up, Oso channels his inner wrestler, kicks the cage, and knocks the white man right into the tiger’s mouth. Then, while the white man’s leg is spewing blood, Franklin swipes the keys. 

They escape, only for the Bell Gardens gang to take them hostage. The men tie Franklin and Oso up and start to torture them. They want to know where is the money the two were carrying a few hours ago. 

In the meantime, at the club, Louie, Jerome, and Leon interrogate Diamond and Dallas. They desperately need to find Franklin and figure out who was behind the attack. The women don’t know anything. Jerome and Leon decide to head to Bell Gardens to look for Franklin. 

Cissy compliments Veronique on distracting the police with her crocodile tears at the restaurant shooting. Veronique reveals her mother was a con-woman, and sometimes she helped her run scams. At first, it was fun, but ultimately, “not so much.” Cissy has a revelation of her own to share. She warns Veronique although she loves her son, violence will follow him, whether it’s ‘the gangsters or the government.” 

Franklin offers to take his captors to the money. They agree to follow him but leave Oso with armed guards as insurance. In a brilliant move, Franklin actually leads the gang back to the house with the tiger. In a quick melee, the tiger kills two of the men. Franklin grabs a gun and runs off for a second time. 

He’s finally able to make contact with his uncle. Jerome and Leon pick up Franklin, and the trio, guns blazing, save Oso. They secure the money and return to safety.

Deterred by Cissy, Veronique decides she can no longer live with Franklin. So he returns to an empty house after a long day of tigers and traitors. Even though their romantic relationship is rocky, their baby is healthy. They hear the child’s heartbeat for the first time during a routine sonogram. It’s a beautiful moment marred by how precarious their lives have become.
