However, there are times when they connect their properties in a way that subtly fleshes out the universe.
And Suckas Need Bodyguards is an example of the latter.

Its only a voiceover cameo, but I really liked it because it feels natural.
Earlier that day, he met with Detective Scarfe, who demanded more money for the guns.
Meanwhile, Claire finally manages to track Luke down at her mothers diner.
Obviously, Luke doesnt remember her at first because he spent most of the time in her care unconscious.
In exchange for Lukes help, Scarfe says hell come through with evidence to take Cottonmouth down.
The Captain pairs Misty with Lieutenant Perez, who is working for Cottonmouth, to find Scarfe.
But, before he died, he gave Luke all the evidence he had to take down Cottonmouth.
Midway through the interview, Thembi brings up Mariahs connection to Cottonmouth and the Crispus Attucks center.
I loved that scene because Alfre Woodards eyes go from warm to cold in an instant.
I still may not completely understand Mariah, but I love watching Woodards performance.
All in all, its a pretty bad day for the Stokes family.
With Scarfes evidence, Misty and the rest of the police are able to arrest Cottonmouth.
But, something tells me he wont be behind bars for too long.
The Captain complains to Misty about the city timidity about going hard on Cottonmouth.
