Character History
One Giant Leap
After burying Linderman's thugs, Niki and Micah go to Micah's grandmother's home. Paulette runs to meet them. She hugs Micah and tells Niki that she looks thin. Inside, Paulette and Niki tensely discuss Micah, his incarcerated father, and Niki's parenting. Paulette says she can give her grandson a better home environment than Niki, but Niki counters by pointing out that Paulette's son ended up in jail. Paulette insists that D.L. is a good man, and Niki shows Paulette the skull ring, asking her mother-in-law if she recognizes it. Niki tells her that it belonged to one of the men that D.L. murdered. She says that all of D.L.'s crew wore these rings, but Grandma just says that D.L. wouldn't murder anyone. Niki theorizes that D.L. robbed Mr. Linderman of two million dollars, then killed his crew. Paulette believes he was framed. "He'd be rotting in some prison if he hadn't escaped," she says. Niki, upset, tells her mother-in-law that she wants her out of Micah's life. When Paulette refuses, Niki says, "You have no idea what I am capable of." Micah and Niki leave.
