During a training session, Mr. Vaughn praises his trainee's growth—physical strength and a new willingness to think rather than just use force. The trainee presses Vaughn about motive and points out the $200,000 he gave Dominic came from his own savings; Vaughn promises, "Once I'm out, I'll make it up to you." That calm is shattered when an associate bursts in with news: Wayne and his gang have been released from the hospital. The episode ends with Vaughn hearing that his girlfriend could be in danger, the warning forcing an immediate, unresolved choice about how to respond.
