And it all starts with the return to Daniel and his struggles.
Trust, Patty says.
Its how you get people to let their guard down.

And people trust those who look like them more than they trust those who do not.
Patty wants Cato to help her wrangle up slaves in exchange for his and Devis freedom.
Thats the story for victim No.
1, at least.
Once Devi learns what Cato did, shes not on board, calling this horrible country his excuse.
Yes, what Cato is doingisawful, but at the same time…
He kind of told you that hes a bad man, Devi.
You just insisted on believing you could get to him to reveal his innerbeautiful soul.
The same goes for the Clara/Ernestine story line, as Claras transformation from meek slave to mastermind feelsveryrushed.
So, the first order of business for Miss Clara?
If youre thinking, I hope Ernestine doesnt go through withdrawal, (1) dont worry about that.
She knows how to hide her stuff.
(2) Dont worry about that.
Its actually Hicks who gets caught, completely beaten down, and stuck with a cage over his head.
Now Hicks is a pariah, and Clara is on top of the world.
And boy does she ensure everyone knows it, especially Ernestine.
Apparently Matthew did talk to Clara like Ernestine asked, but shes still not deterred.
Ernestines momma didnt raise no fool though, and of course she didnt make a real poison.
But you cant have mine, Ernestine tells her.
So Clara totally takes the loss like a mature adult, right?
No, because shes not.
To freedom… which is short lived, as she bumps into August almost immediately.
Thanks again, Cato.
Obviously, everything that came before this is evidence that nothing will go right in this mission.
But all of that flies right out the window as soon as she realizes things done changed.
Through, he tells her.
For all of Rosalees ingenuity this season, this episode, all of that comes crashing down.
She also tells them she wants to go with them, because shes not built for working the field.
At the very least, they now know they need a new plan ASAP.
With the latter, Rosalee and Noah learn that overseer Bill is still very much alive.
Yeah, things are all a mess.
But they have a plan.
The book, the boy, then we wait.
But they still go on with the plan.
Things fail, however, when Rosalee makes it to James bedroom and wakes him up.
To screams of HELP!
Rosalee is caught, and Bill gets to punish her.
Then he brands her face, and thats how we leave things.
