Meanwhile, down in Mexico, a drunk/high Carter saunters over to join Hearn & Hugo (Chris Young).

KC meets with her boss & fills him in on the situation.
Patterson meets with his bosson & it doesn't go well!

Patterson (aka Brophy) & Williams are at the compound, undercover. Slaney manages to get Patterson to one side & the detective fills him in on the new developments.
Hearn & Ada have a little chat about Slaney ( spoilers...so again, I'll just leave it at that)
Patterson confesses his part in Slaneys escape to Agent Williams, who is less than pleased at this revelation!
High & drunk, a 'careless' Carter lets Hearn know how unhappy he is with his welcoming of Slaney back into the fold. Hearn starts to update the man on his plans, but when Carter asks him if he's going to take Ada away from him, Hearn loses it, slaps him & demands that Cyril 'get your shit together......'
Carter looks panicked & scared. The coke fueled paranoia has a strong grip on him.
Hearn fills Slaney in on the next stage of the plan.
At Hearns request, Carter makes drinks, for he & Brophy, but something about that request seems 'off'......
Carter tries to bait Slaney, but fails. He then calls Ada out on her recent behaviour but she soon wins him over & placates him.
As Ada plays the piano, Brophy ( aka Patterson) begins to hallucinate & collapses.....
Unconcerned with this development, Hearn leads Slaney away from the room.
