The whole time, Joey was screaming for his mom, slowly progressing from anger to desperation.
This horrible revelation switches up the dynamic between Preston and Ashe.
The Beck family gets a scare that night when one of the boys hears something moving outside.
Would the department have stood up for him the way they presumably would have one of the white deputies?
Platt doesnt seem to have an answer.
After chewing out Preston at breakfast, Ashe goes to investigate Jesse Carrs weed connection.
In a pretty hilarious moment, she catches the frats dealer in a college library.
Hes using his federal authority to stick up for himself in a way that other Gates Station residents cant.
Platts response is to take Preston on a ride-along.
He pulls over a van full of white guys, bearing a Confederate flag bumper sticker.
The situation is resolved without incident, but the tension is palpable.
Platt tells Preston that same tension is what his deputies feel when theyre patrolling the houses.
On Pastor Janaes advice, Gov.
Eamons has decided to do something about the inequality of education for black and white residents of their state.
As it turns out later, her daughter agrees with this and challenges her mom to live her values.
Well see where that goes.
If theres rot in the Gates Station police department, then Lieutenant Breeland is probably involved.
Preston and Ashe start following up with people who have filed complaints against him.
Needless to say, nothing was done about her complaint.
Cory and his family did get protection after all.
Nevertheless, Im thinking we havent seen the last of this guy.
Preston and Ashe finally confront Breeland himself.
He isnt scared of them, and he tells them to leave town.
After the town hall, Sean Campbell doesnt want to take the bus to school.
Preston and Ashe, meanwhile, make a big breakthrough thanks to some helpful weed.
Here it is: the first major connection between the two cases.
But the tension is felt, and their relationship has leveled up a notch.
Theyll need each other watching their backs, especially now that Breeland is looking into Ashes file.
