Joanna was first shown busting down an apartment of drug dealers. The scene then cuts to Will Moreno, who was visiting Joanna's apartment. When Joanna asked for the reason of Will's visit, he announced to her about Vivian's death. Will explained to Joanna that it'd be a good idea going undercover in the Bower's family knowing her past with them. Disagreeing at first, she changed her mind. Entering the wake, Joanna spoke with Robert, and he asked Joanna to stay for dinner. When dinner approached, Joanna sat with the family and was finally offered to sleep at the Bowers' house. That same night, Joanna heard quarreling and sneaked outside to see Edward and his wife, Samantha, arguing. She heard both speaking about Vivian's death and how Samantha was tired of the lies. The next day, Joanna searched the house for clues and found a thumb drive Vivian hid. Joanna also spoke with Mia revealing that Vivian was going to rehab for her drug addictions.
Eventually, Joanna watched a sex video recorded on the thumb drive. In the video, her partner spoke of having a baby and stated that "it will be on her terms". While making a call about it, Joanna ran into Remy Colville, a photographer who was seen earlier arguing with Mia. After he discovered that Joanna was a cop. The two traded information and made a truce to help each other out. After that, things started sailing smoothly for Joanna and was offered a job position as Robert's assistant.
