Cane tells Chance that this dagger was from his collection of knives that he had displayed in the club car. Cane tells Chance the collection of knives wasn’t locked in a cabinet so anyone could have taken the antique dagger.

Nick is trying to find Sharon, but nobody has seen her.

EJ thanked him and brushed of his warning. Belle and Jada reviewed the evidence in the case. They found out that Roman’s gun was the attempted murder weapon. The evidence didn’t help Johnny look innocent. Jada couldn’t believe the judge didn’t recuse Belle from the case. Belle promised to give Johnny a fair trial.

Jada called Paulina so she could watch the new evidence. Belle called EJ to tell him about the footage they saw. She wanted him to see it for himself.

They knew that Malone had $500,000 the same night Martin came home acting strange. Vernon offered to testify at Malone’s trial. They realized they were getting closer to the truth. Jacob was confused because he remembered running into his father after he passed his detective exam that night. He realized that his father was too busy to congratulate him. After Jacob and Smitty finished talking, he approached Elon. Jacob reminded his father about the oath they took to uphold the law. He asked him one more time what happened that night. Elon told him that things don’t add up. He tried to gaslight Jacob. Jacob felt that his father didn’t want him to chase a crime that didn’t exist. He made it seem like he was done investigating it. Martin was at the house and held a baseball bat. He wanted to be prepared for Kenneth to walk in the door. He fell asleep and had nightmares until Smitty woke him up. Smitty assured him that he would be okay. Martin begged him to drop the story, but he refused to do it. Smitty begged Martin to tell him what happened that night. He told Martin that he needed to tell him if he did something. Martin couldn’t do it because he needed to protect his family.

Malone handed Randy over to Joey. He read Randy the riot act for stealing from him. Malone was more suspicious of Randy since he saw him with a ticket to Bali. Joey thought Randy was dressed for warm weather, but it would be cold where he was going. Randy told Joey that his gun jammed when he tried to kill Kenneth. He thought he killed him. Joey wanted Randy to admit that he was useless. He asked Malone what he should do with people who are no longer useful. Doug and Vanessa arrived at the casino, and Randy told them to get out of there. Vanessa refused to listen to Randy. She wanted to know what the police department would think of Malone moonlighting with Joey. Vanessa pushed her luck with Joey by telling him that she and Doug were going to take Randy with them. Joey warned her to stop pushing her luck with him. He told her to go where she belonged. She didn’t back down to him. Vanessa threatened to blow up their arrangement. Joey would lose a lot if he hurt Randy. She was willing to keep working with Joey, but Randy had to be set free. Joey let Randy go free to thank him for exposing his wife’s affair years ago. He wanted Vanessa to stay because he wanted to reprimand her. Things took a different turn when they flirted with each other. Ashley noticed Dani was staring at her and Andre all night. Dani approached their table. She apologized for interrupting their wholesome night. Ashley let her know that she and Andre were in the middle of something. Dani wondered if they were a new pair. Andre and Ashley gave her different answers. Dani mentioned how Andre was a ladykiller. She wondered if Ashley was another notch on Andre’s bedpost. Andre told Dani that there was someone, but she couldn’t move on from her past. He told her that the woman was a lot like her and that she acts like she’s the only one who matters. Ashley felt like any woman who had a shot with Andre and blew it must be crazy. Dani agreed that the woman needed her head examined. Andre defended the woman and said she was stuck in the past. He said that the woman denied having feelings for her ex even though everyone told her to move on. Dani thought he couldn’t please the woman. Ashley went to the bathroom leaving Andre and Dani alone. Dani assured Andre that she wasn’t jealous of Ashley. She was embarrassed about the way Andre described their relationship. She thought he couldn’t handle life when it was complicated and that’s why he went after someone bland like Ashley. Ashley came back to the table as Dani was putting him down. Ashley wanted to end the night with Andre.
