Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Kosmo begins to think Sue has been playing her. Sue gets upset and severs her relationship. Because everything ties to the East Indians and not Brian, Kurtz suggest she drops the file and reconsider keeping her informant.

• Going over the fact that Carla was scared of Brian, but called him first anyway causes Kosmo to ask if she believes Curtis killed her and she says yes. Kosmo tells her from here on it's an unofficial investigation and to tell Curtis it's dead.

• Sue goes to Curtis and tells him Kosmo's been asking questions about her and Danny's murder. This causes him to tell Suki that he's changing his story about Carla asking her for protection and suggests Internal may get involved due to the money he paid her and to back him up.

• Maitland runs into Kurtz at the Ovaltine and hovers around as she talks with Councillor Pierce. This leads Kurtz to confront her to leave them be, which Maitland takes personally. She later shows up at her place to apologise and to tell her that she's afraid to sleep at her place and asks if she can sleep on her couch. Kurtz obliges.

• Curtis asks Rick for a key to Pierce's home.

Characters

• Rose's mother helps find Leo a new place for Lana.

• Leo urges Mick to talk to Sunny. He does and apologises to her for being distant. She tells him he still is and unless that changes, they should let it go, ending their relationship.
