The next morning, Cecelia and Roman discuss issues at the plant. She shows him her pay stubs as proof that he’s been shorting his employees. He argues that he has thousands of people working for him and isn’t in charge of all the financial aspects of the business. Cecelia gets upset and insists that she’s the best person “to inform [him] of [his] wrongdoings” because she’s his biggest mistake (191). When she moves to leave, Roman promises to look into the matter.

Cecelia is confused when Dominic shows up in his Camaro to give her a ride to Sean’s. On the road, Cecelia is impressed by Dominic’s reckless driving. Then they take a route Cecelia doesn’t recognize and end up outside an unfamiliar facility. Dominic gets out and has an exchange with a few men, referring to someone called Friar in the conversation. When Cecelia notices he has a gun, she confronts him about dealing drugs. Back on the road, Dominic insists that she wasn’t in danger, that he doesn’t have anything to do with drugs, and that he isn’t planning on using the gun.

Dominic pulls up at a medical facility, enters, and comes back out with a frail woman—Dominic’s aunt Delphine, who has cancer.
