He then brings it to Dushane’s flat. Dushane asks him why he still isn’t with his gang, to which Ra’Nell replies because he is smart.
Dushane goes to the club to meet Sully and he tells them about the weed Ra’Nell brought him. He says it’s good and Sully wants to rob him and get it for free but Dushane refuses, saying he likes Ra’Nell and wants to work with him. Sully is angered though and behind Dushane’s back requests Dris to follow Ra’Nell and find out where the farm is.
Ra’Nell visits Heather. Heather says she’ll call Vincent and get him to meet Ra’Nell with the money. However, he tells her that Dushane will pay twenty and Heather is angered, telling him he doesn’t know what he’s done. As he exits the hospital, he is followed by Dris.

She admits she has a cannabis farm, but then tells her about her getting Ra’Nell to help. Lisa slaps her and calls her a bitch, telling her she was supposed to be her friend. Lisa demands to know the location of it, and rings Leon to let him know, who says he’ll take care of it.
Sully meets Dris at the bottom of the flats. Ra’Nell makes his way downstairs as the two wait for him. Sully confronts him and tries to take the bag but Ra’Nell insists for Dushane. As this is happening, Leon arrives at the scene and fights with Sully, but in the scuffle Sully fires his gun, fatally wounding Leon.
Dushane goes to Taylor’s house, where Sully is, and tells him that he’s fucked up. The two argue before Dushane requests the gun so he can go get rid of it.

Dushane then tells him things are going to be run differently in Summerhouse before leaving with Dris.
