Episode 8: Parricide
Ready to strike back, Shane enlists Mara to support his alibi before heading out to ambush Vic and sending Two-Man after Ronnie. However, Ronnie narrowly escapes being shot and Shane's risks of being exposed after a witness identifies Two-Man. Unaware of how close Shane came to killing him, Vic tries leveraging his connection to Pezuela into an undercover job with the Federal task force.
After Pezuela orders him to persuade a Catholic priest to close a church that is threatening his new low-income housing project, Vic gets reassigned to work with Olivia for his final week on the job. But when Father Morton refuses to shut down despite being shown evidence that proves he is allowing the E-Park Johnnies to deal drugs out of his parish, Vic turns to gang leader Damon Leeks to find out why. And while Leeks won't reveal anything, Morton admits to covering up the affair and child he had with Damon's sister, Keisha.
Though both Vic and Ronnie want a shot at questioning him, Claudette assigns Dutch and Billings to interrogate Two-Man. But, knowing that finding the weapon is critical to their getting a confession, Shane quietly convinces his partner-in-crime to tell him where it's hidden. Meanwhile, after Pezuela guarantees to make him the next Mayor of Los Angeles, Aceveda is asked to keep the corrupt developer on the hook.
Unaware that Shane has already recovered the gun, Dutch and Billings take a chance by telling Two-Man that it's been found. But it's only after Vic makes it look like he is about to be charged for assaulting a pair of prostitutes that Two-Man reveals how Shane blackmailed him into becoming an accomplice. Finally, as Mara asks Corrine to be a conduit for information while she and Shane are on the run, Vic safely relocates Keisha and her son before shutting down Damon and his crew. And after making one last pitch for a job with the Task Force, Vic turns in his badge and gun to Claudette so that he can go after Shane on his own.
