A brief recap of Dope Thief Season 1 Episode 2
Episode 2 from the Dope Thief Season 1 premiere was a wake-up call for Manny and Ray. Titled Bat Out of Hell, the duo realized that they can't simply run away and have to finish what they started, especially with what they have going on at home. Ray, with the help of his contact, found out that the Aloe Vera bottles he stole contained liquid meth, which was dissolved to make it easier to smuggle it in bulk.
The previous episode also made them realize the mess that they've put themselves in after they found a massacre. They saw a body in the bath and another dead body outside the Loebsack residence. Whoever did it is serious and as Manny calls Sherrie to tell her to get out of the house, a shootout happens.
While it initially looked like they wouldn't make it, Manny and Ray thankfully got out in one piece–blood-soaked, but mostly okay. However, the person they are dealing with knows all about them now and the duo realizes that giving the stolen drugs and money will not be enough to spare their lives. Before the episode closed, Ray was trying to get a hold of Manny, but he wasn't picking up.
What to expect in Dope Thief Season 1 Episode 3
Dope Thief Season 1 Episode 3 promises to be as eventful as the previous episode. Titled Run, Die, or Relapse, it's expected to see Ray and Manny try to evade the police as well as the people they have stolen the drugs and money from. However, with Manny still not answering his phone, Ray will have to find him one way or the other, hoping that nothing bad happened to him.
Here's what the audiences can expect from the episode, per its synopsis from Apple TV:
"Ray combs the streets looking for Manny as the biker gang closes in. DEA agents search for new leads in their hunt for Ray."
