As Suzanne and Mark are on their way home it is revealed that the couple aren't so happy after all.
Howard is caught by an undercover female agent for using and dealing cocaine, and reveals many issues involving Mark. Mark is then arrested, and Suzanne faces charges for supporting him in his actions.
