Lucky thinks that 'Laura' is playing a game with he and his dad. She lets you get close and then she pushes you away. He saw her with his dad, smiling and whispering to his father. Luke obviously doesn’t know what is hitting him. She must be doing this for money. She must be playing on Luke’s insecurities. She even has the same name as his mother.

Zander has some ideas on the subject but he doesn’t know exactly what is going on. Gia warns him to stay clear of Faith. She knows that Faith had him planting drugs in this place and that can’t be the act of someone that is good to be with. Zander is starting his life out and he would like to make some good money.
