Ryan says Asa took Tillie, just as Asa appears behind Ryan with a gun. Asa is also threatening Ryan’s little sister and has men parked outside her house—he has threatened to kill them both unless Ryan takes him to Sloan and Luke. Once Asa is inside, Luke brings up his first time having sex with Sloan. He points his gun at Sloan and says he’ll kill her if Asa kills Ryan. Luke says Sloan is just like every other girl and that what turned Sloan on the most was knowing that Luke was there to put Asa in prison.
Sloan plays along and says Luke gave her the best orgasm she has ever had. Luke uses Asa’s distraction to shoot him in the arm. He then has to restrain himself from killing Asa once he’s down. Ryan hits Asa, who says that the threats against Tillie and his sister were false. They handcuff Asa to the mantel. Luke knows that Sloan will feel safer if Asa is in prison, but not “vindicated.”
Asa begs Sloan to stop letting Luke touch her. She says she hates him. In front of Asa, she tells Luke she loves him, and he says it back as Asa smashes his own head against the mantel.
