Meanwhile, after exposing her Uncle Mac's (GregAlan Williams, "The Accountant") crimes, but failing to bring him to justice, Grace "Gigi" Greenleaf (Merle Dandridge, "The Night Shift") finds herself intrigued with someone new, Darius Nash (guest star Rick Fox, "Dope"), a local journalist who's been closely following the ongoing threats plaguing the Greenleaf empire.
