The Never List

Mirren comments on Pierce’s clear happiness after his month with Rylee. Rylee reflects that, though Pierce knows one of her secrets, he has not used this to gain advantage over her—something she contrasts with Turner’s coercive sexual violence. Mirren comments that she approves of Rylee, which flatters Rylee, slightly diminishing her nerves. They approach Jax’s daunting home, but Rylee reminds herself that she has lived through enough hardship to not fear Jax’s “nightmares.”

Rylee is disappointed when Jax isn’t there to meet her. She decides this is a test and seeks Jax out. As Mirren helps Rylee get ready, she implies that she knows about Rylee’s demi mark. She threatens to “end” Rylee if Rylee breaks the Legends’ hearts. Rylee respects this threat, detecting that it comes from a place of maternal love. She admits that she did not ever plan to be a real potential mate for the Legends, but she will not leave them now.

Rylee goes to Jax’s favorite club, Lust. She moves through the salacious dancing, growing jealous when she finds Jax watching a woman dancing suggestively.
