Later, Harlee reveals to Wozniak that she has decided to take a plea deal in regards to her corrupt actions. Even though he warns her that she'll lose her badge and will never be able to work as a cop again on top of going to prison, Harlee has accepted this, citing the one thing Stahl was right about: the only way to conquer her demons is to face them, and that only then can she truly be the good woman and mother she has desired so long to be. She tearfully urges Wozniak and her team to look after Cristina while she is incarcerated, and the two embrace. Sometime afterward, as Ramsey is being transferred to Rikers, Wozniak pulls some strings to infiltrate the transport and strangles the corrupt captain to death in revenge for forcing Harlee to bring him down by incriminating herself.

Two months later, after getting her affairs in order, Harlee allows Wozniak to escort her to prison to begin her three-year sentence. Cristina moves in with the Wozniaks and settles into their late daughter's room; she later finds a letter from her mother explaining her actions. At the 64th, the team celebrates as Tess and Tufo are restored to Detective status, but Loman misses Harlee's presence. As Harlee is processed into prison and gets settled into her cell, an expression of peace comes over her face.
