One day, upon finishing a dance class, Dani notices Finch looking a little upset. She walks over to the girl and asks her if anything is wrong or if she just needed someone to talk to. Finch accepts, and the two girls decide to go and get coffee at a local diner. Over the coffee, Finch explains why she’s in New York. Her story is quite similar to Dani’s in that she also moved to the city to pursue dancing further. She also Reveals that she was broke when she came to the city and ended up meeting a guy. The guy, named ” Rock“, quickly became Finch’s boyfriend. She also Tells Dani that she’s currently broke again and “Rock” wants to pimp her out. His idea was for her to work in a brothel just for a little while so that they could make enough money to live a little better.

Finch feels as if her boyfriend has done it before and explains all of that to Dani. Dani is shocked when she hears what Finch tells her and promises to help her out in anyway that she possibly can. A moment passes between the two of them and Finch rushes up and puts her lips against Dani’s. Dani is shocked and asks her why she did that. Finch, embarrassed, takes off running out of the coffee shop, leaving Miss Baptiste to think about what just happened.

Sometime later on, Dani and Finch both confront Rock on what he wants Finch to become. Dani grabs him by the throat and then becomes taken over by the Witchblade. Soon her entire body is completely covered and Rock is choking beneath her clutch as Finch watches in horror. The man standing near Finch at the time grabs her and points a gun to her head. He demands that Dani release Rock, but before she can, the man shoots at Dani. The bullet misses her and instead hits Rock square in the temple, killing him instantly. The man and Finch both run in fear, Leaving Dani with the body and Finch with knowledge of the Witchblade. Dani then rushes to Sara Pezzini for help and what to do next about Finch. The conversation leads to a heated argument with ill words exchanged between Dani and Sara.
