The last thing viewers expected was to watch Cissy kill Teddy. However, most folks believe that Cissy commits the crime due to Teddy’s snarky remarks and disregard for her husband Alton’s (Kevin Carroll) life.
Initially, Cissy speaks to Teddy alone while he’s held hostage by Franklin. As he pleads with her to let him go, she asks about what happened to Alton. Teddy shares that he drugged Alton and put him in a Puerto Rican jail.

Teddy proceeds to drop a major bomb and says that Alton is not dead. As Franklin makes a deal with the CIA to retrieve his funds and deliver Teddy and the KGB operative Ruben (Alejandro Edda), Cissy tells Franklin that she wants them to walk away.
Cissy believes that Ruben should handle Teddy, and Franklin needs to let the money and the dream go. Franklin gets angry and says that he is going through with the plan.
Cissy decides to go with Franklin to make the exchange and retrieve the money. As Teddy gets on the phone with the bank to initiate the transfer, Cissy interjects and asks him which jail Alton is being held in.

Teddy scoffs at Cissy and says that he lied and admits to killing Alton in cold blood. Cissy is clearly shocked by his answer and proceeds to shoot him to death right before he makes the money transfer.
Instead of fleeing the scene with Franklin, she tells her son goodbye, drops the gun, and waits for the authorities to take her into custody.
