Episode 9: Moving Day
Now that he's resigned, legal roadblocks stand in the way of Vic finding Shane and Mara. After discovering that they left without taking their son's antibiotics, he looks for evidence that they tried to get a new prescription or false passports, anything that might provide a clue to their whereabouts. But when he and Mara call and find Vic at Corrine's, Shane warns him to steer clear. Meanwhile, as Dutch dates Lloyd Denton's mum, Rita, simply to further his efforts to stop the teenaged serial killer, Billings's ex-wife and teenage daughter demand that he do something about a registered sex offender who has moved into their neighbourhood.
Although Aceveda is bristling at the demands Pezuela is making in exchange for supporting his mayoral candidacy, Olivia wants him to maintain the relationship so they can investigate the real estate baron's new partner, Guillermo Diaz. Given a lead that puts them onto Shane and Mara, Ronnie worries that Vic won't hesitate to kill both of them if given the chance. When Shane and Mara have to take their son to the ER, Vic confronts them in the hospital car park. But in the ensuing confusion, he's the one who's arrested by the police as the fugitive couple escapes.
As identifying Diaz as Diego Beltran, a major player from Mexico, proves that Pezuela is now under the thumb of the drug cartels, an angry Rita realizes that Dutch was using her in order to learn more about her son. And after Dutch refuses to bend the rules in order to harass Irving Heap, Billings gets some other friends on the force to concoct a child pornography charge that sends the paroled sex offender back to prison. Finally, when threatened by Claudette, Ronnie tells how Lem's murder set Vic on his quest for revenge. Now that they have some breathing room, Shane and Mara seek refuge in a vacant suburban house where, after telling Corrine about how Vic tried to kill them and their son, they plan their next move.
