In the last few moments of the previous episode of The Afterparty, Detective Danner was called to look into the killing of a young woman at a wedding afterparty. However, the case seemed to have brought back all of Danner's pain and shame because the victim was someone she had known in her past.
Danner started to second guess her decision to take up the case and doubted her own abilities. In the final moments, she came to the conclusion that while she could not escape her mistakes, she could grow from them. She also realized that she still possessed the aptitude and tenacity required to succeed as a detective.
The origin of Detective Danner and her decision to leave the LAPD will be at the center of the upcoming episode of the show. The episode will be narrated from her point of view and will examine the trauma and remorse that she had felt over her past actions. Viewers will also get to see how her decisions impacted her personal and professional life.

"Danner presents a scintillating story to Aniq like a steamy 1990s thriller, revealing the real reason why she left the police force."
The episode is set to be an interesting watch as it will bring to light Danner's determination to solve the murder of the young woman even if it requires her to confront her personal demons.
