Sally Bates

**Sally Bates** is a minor character in Season One of ***Claws***. Protrayed by Gina Torres, she is an old friend to Heather.

## Biography

Sally met Polly (under the name Heather). The two spent some time with each other for a while. How they parted ways is never revealed.

She visits Nail Artisan and finds Polly working on a cilent's nails. The two have a gleeful embrace and converse over lost time. The women spoke on their one time spent in a hotel room with twins, engaging in sex.

Eventually, Sally and Polly agree to a match of tennis the next day. The two, then, talk about their times spent with their conned men and Sally's partner. When Polly mentioned that she is unable to return home due to some maintanence, she is offered to stay in the guesthouse. They embraced and went their separate ways.

Sally is greeted by Polly carrying a plate of cookies. She allows her inside and reintroduced her to Ed, whom uttered "mama" at her friend. The two relaxed outside and began to have massages while conversing about catching up some more. Soon, they hear a beeping, Sally assuming it was a monitor until one of the masseurs mentioned it originating from Polly's left boot. Struggling to remove it, she discovered that she was wearing an ankle monitor and started questioning everything about Polly. Upset, she asked for Polly to leave or that the police would be phoned.

Sally is later seen engaged in erotic roleplay with her masked partner. She teases him for a moment until cheers and applause is heard from the floor above. When she sees Polly, she asks what they were doing in her place and what they wanted. After hearing their request for $15,000, she is appalled before she gives them what they have asked.

## Plot

In a state of panic, Desna and Virginia loom over Roller's body as it bleeds into the pool. The two decide to pull him out of the pool and contemplate what to do, deciding to wrap it in a tarp and dump it. They drag it down steps that lead to the dock, Desna telling Virginia to ditch the heels so that they could move faster. Reaching the boat, they find a wrapped corpse of an unknown victim, startling Virginia. After getting Roller's body into the boat, the women search for lighter fluid and use it to burn the bodies. Virginia leaves Roller's grill charms inside and starts the engine. Lighting a match, they set the boat ablaze, untie the ropes from the dock, and watch as it drifts further out into the ocean.

Returning to the house, Desna and Virginia attempt to stage the scene to appear like a struggle. While Virginia gathered some of her belongings, Desna tries to reload the pistol, failing before Virginia reloads for her. Both are shakened when Desna's finger accidentally pulls the trigger. Pointing it at a glass window, Desna lets out one more shot to complete the stage. Desna informs Virginia that she wants her to return home and that she would be picked up in the morning.
