Sofia begged Mayfair to leave the country before it was too late but she denied due to her responsibilities with the FBI.

Tom Carter died under mysterious circumstances, his body was never found and Mayfair discovered that his car was ditched by an unknown man; following the evidence, Mayfair asked Reade to investigate the case but he was threatened, putting the Carter case on hold.
