Not till Maybelle's right ear shows up in his mail does he finally believe that she was really kidnapped and that she's not doping him. Hollis has a brief bonding moment with Quinn Perkins when he shows that "the devil" can have a soft side. He pays the ransom; but shortly after getting Maybelle back the OPA team learns that Maybelle did in fact trick them all. Hollis, crushed by what his daughter did gives her an ultimatum... family or money (12 million) but if she chooses money she can never come back to the family. Sadly she chooses the money.
