After Lucious was taken to the police station for interrogations, Lucious swears he is a woman trapped in a man's body.

"You are not a woman, you are not Cookie Lyon" the police officer said clicking on the computer and taking his finger prints.
"Do you know is a federal crime to lie under oath?"
"And you could be in a lot of trouble for that Pal!" Another detective said.
"Well I don't see an OATH here, are you an oath, is oath you?" Lucious asked pointing at both the detectives.

"Say no more!" Thirsty said marching Inside. "don't speak." Thirsty said and tossed an envelope on the table. "You can't bribe us" one detective said. Thirsty opened the envelope and pulled pictures of Maya in New Jersey, wearing black and hiding herself. "This is who you presumed dead. She's very much alive and roaming around the streets of New Jersey and here you are arresting my client for the crime he didn't commit, you need to find her and arrest her for faking her own death. Uncuff my client now" thirsty said.

The detectives laughed first then looked on the pictures and the date it was taken. They looked at each other.

"if you don't let my client go I'm going to sue each one of you and the whole department and you will never work again" said thirsty.

"Unfortunately we can't let your client go. He committed another crime. He is not who he claimed to be" the detective said. "oh shut up. Uncuff him" thirsty said. They looked at each other and uncuffed Lucious.

On their way out of the department.
"Miss thing is really not dead?" Lucious asked. "At least not yet, we both know that when Cookie finds out that she was framed she's not gonna hesitate to kill her" thirsty said. "She's not fit to live, I spent a night in jail because of her stupid ass" Lucious said.

"Well I found out she is leaving to Mexico tonight with a fake passport" thirsty said. Lucious laughed. "Let's go to New Jersey" he said getting in the back of his car.

They drove away ... To New Jersey!

In New Jersey.
Maya is coming from shopping before she fly to Mexico tonight. She opens her door and shut it. Then started packing as quickly as possible. After packing she called a cab and headed out. She got in a cab. The driver drove away.

After about 30 minutes she realized that the vehicle was not moving to her direction. "Sir. Uh.. where you going?" Maya asked. "to the airport, I'm just using a quicker route, there is traffic" the cabbie said..

Few minutes later
The cab pulled over. Maya looked outside and realized she was at Lucious' mansion. "Wha-what's happening? Why are we here?" Maya asked shaking out of her boots. One guard opened the door and pulled her out.

She screamed at the top of her lungs. "Help.. somebody help" they cuffed her and taped her mouth.

They took her inside. While Lucious and Thirty follow suit.

Inside
Cookie heard a door bell and jogged to the door and swing it open. Her jaw dropped. The guard pushed Maya inside. "Well well well!" Cookie said. Lucious walked in with thirty and shut the door.

"Baby!" Cookie screamed hugging Lucious tight.
Hakeem and Tiana made their way to the passage. they were busy giggling about something. "What in the hell!" Tiana expressed. "Baby take care of that I need a shower" Lucious said and exited the passage. "Bitch ain't dead?" Hakeem asked.

"Yet! She ain't dead YET!" Cookie said. "Thirsty talk to me, what's happening?" Cookie asked.
"Little pound cake here tried to fake her own death and wanted you to go down for it!" Thirty said. Cookie was starting to fume, she started pacing one hand rubbing her temples the other on her waist. She let out a short snort. Then took off the tape from Maya's mouth. Maya started catching her breath through her mouth.
