Summary
JJ becomes a cop to escape his unstable home life and finally get his act together. He’s also determined to take down Ward and Rafe, since the police is bribed. During his search for evidence, JJ begins to see the parallels between his and Rafe’s struggles with their fathers. His mission shifts: get Ward behind bars and help Rafe.
Things aren’t simple. JJ juggles getting his own place, a job he’s not fully committed to, keeping secrets, and staying connected with the Pogues despite the distance.
Meanwhile, Ward’s demands on Rafe grow more dangerous. Rafe starts spiraling: drugs, violence, and impulsive decisions fueled by hatred for his father. Without Sarah to ground him nor his friends to distract him, he begins to fall apart. After another brutal fight and being kicked out of the Cameron house, Rafe sets out on foot to find Sarah.
JJ being the only one of the Pogues to be able to take him in, they live together and are forced to face their pasts. Repressing the growing feelings that they have for each other is even harder when they live together now.
