In Mexico, Lucy and Marco take Pope to meet a guy who got himself busted south of the border. The inmate reveals some “a rich white lady” had ordered a hit on the son who’d stolen from her. Pope suspects Lucy had paid the snitch to throw him off her scent. After all, if Smurf wanted anyone dead, she would’ve come to Pope.

While Lucy argues with Pope, Smurf shows up in the prison sporting a black eye. Smurf is offered to do three years in a minimum-security prison. All she has to do is give up her boys.

After stealing a getaway SUV with Billy, Craig finds himself flirting with Frankie (Dichen Lachman). Just when Billy takes a walk and leaves, Craig locks lips with Frankie. She’s not with Billy; he’s just a ride.

After treating to abandon Smurf, J ends up having sex with Mia once again. Deran and J get their oxygen masks as their next heist is underway. Elsewhere, Smurf is sprung from prison because the charges are being dropped.
