Tariq’s grandmother has lost all of her marbles. She got a DUI, and now Yaz has to go into the foster-care system.
When the police come knocking at Tariq’s door, he thinks they’re there for him. (Remember he killed his nosey professor?) What a relief to find out this time he isn’t under surveillance or wanted for questioning! But the relief is short-lived at the sight of Cooper Saxe.
Tariq continues to be haunted by his dreams, this time by the memory of his mother. His consciousness, along with the voice of Kanan, repeatedly tells him to grow up. And in Tariq’s case, growing up means letting go of his only connection to his mother: the burner phone.
