In February, Kage sends Nat 100 red roses and a diamond necklace for her birthday. She also receives a phone call from Max, who has grown suspicious of Kage’s claims. Max had someone go to the West Coast to spy on Kage, and now he knows the truth about Kage’s involvement with Nat. Max claims that Kage has never been serious about a woman before this. Max threateningly asks about Nat’s parents in Arizona and predicts Nat’s death. Just then, she sees Bratva member Viktor in her kitchen.
Viktor asks about money, but Nat doesn’t know what he means. Viktor calls her derogatory names and then threatens to sexually assault her dead body and send the photos to Kage. Out of nowhere, Mojo attacks Viktor. During the scuffle, Kage suddenly appears and shoots Viktor in the head.
After Kage ensures that Nat is fine, he finally tells Nat the whole story.
David is still alive—he fled and disappeared after stealing $100 million from Max. Kage initially came to Lake Tahoe to retrieve the money; his original mission was to interrogate Nat for information.
The painful news makes Nat remember jumping off the highest platform at the swimming pool when she was 10.
