Roxy struggles with the aftermath of kissing Diesel and seeing what he does for the Vipers, but she resolves to kill them by gaining their trust. The others are surprised she can still stomach dinner after the torture she witnessed. Ryder warns her to behave with Kenzo tomorrow, as he, Diesel, and Garrett will be visiting Donald, the man who runs the assassins within the country. When she returns to her room, she finds an array of new clothes, all in her size and style. The gesture makes her question if she’s experiencing Stockholm syndrome. She worries they’ll notice her desire for them, which quickly devolves into her fantasizing about what sex would be like with the four of them.
