Preston freaks, but both Breeland and Ashe are unfazed.
She agrees to ask around.
As weve been told in earlier episodes, Gov.
Shes not the only one who wants to turn this story into a political tool, apparently.
Before they leave, Alicia asks Ashe about Jesses car, which was impounded and hasnt been returned.
It was Jesses high school graduation gift, so Ashe agrees to look into it.
That doesnt satisfy Alicia, who thinks the investigators are now targeting her family instead of the police.
She films an ad for Moder and endorses his proposed legislation.
Meanwhile, theres more political talk when Gov.
Eamons meets with Pastor Janae at Prestons favorite local restaurant.
To prove her good intentions, Eamons accompanies Janae on a visit to Shameeka Campbell.
Thats an even thornier issue, but Eamons agrees to look into it.
Preston and Ashe take their investigation to Jesses college.
Another friend confirms as much and also explains something about Jesses drinking incident.
In response, this friend (who is black) beat Jesse up.
Ashe, for her part, has located the other witness to Joeys death.
She didnt exactly do it legally, though, so Preston declines to be part of the follow-up.
Unbeknownst to either, they are being recorded by a mysterious man in a car outside.
Preston decides to use his expertise to interview Jesses frat brothers.
Hes not the only one reevaluating the white people in his life.
Similarly, Kerry has now been asked to withdraw as a bridesmaid from her friends wedding.
While thats happening, she gets a call from her daughter Kai after a delay earlier in the day.
Kai starts crying, and her father Javier steps in to end the call.
Luckily, shes still good at her profession.
After following Coreys dad all the way home, she breaks in and finds Corey himself.
This episode was a good development for a lot of the characters.
As the investigations continue without a solution in sight, people are turning to more desperate and unconventional decisions.
My guess is it wont lead anywhere good.
