Nick tells Victor that he feels badly about accidentally killing Ashland and also lying to the police about what happened that night. Chance tells Kevin that he decided to close the case and say that Ashland died in a car crash because he didn’t have enough evidence to prove Victor moved the body after Ashland was punched by Nick and died. Kevin tells Chance that he did have the evidence and if the truth comes out they could accuse them both of coveting up a crime. Chance tells Kevin that won’t happen because everything is in the police report but some details are redacted so nobody will ever find out the second theory of Ashland’s death. Adam is listening to Chance and Kevin’s conversation and when Chance leaves Adam tells Kevin that if the truth comes out Chance is going to hang him out to dry unless he gets in front of the situation now.
