Meanwhile, a furious Pete kidnaps Jo’s best friend (MILAN) and heads after them. Milan, however, turns out to be more than he bargained for and his mission takes a turn of its own. Waiting for Izzy’s Instagram breadcrumbs to lead them to the cash, this unlikely pair hole up in a seedy Motel.

Will Pete find them before he’s forced to find himself? Will Tom’s past effect this family’s future? And can Izzy make sense of what she’s done and what’s been done to her?
