Season 1[]
In third episode, Dante reached out to McCall because he was a do-gooder who wouldn’t rest as long as an innocent man was behind bars. McCall also called him because she knew they could trade information and so she told him about the evidence that Cooley buried. He also told her the name of the former detective on Aldridge’s case. Dante couldn’t reach out to the detective because they got a call from Aldridge’s son and the police were later able to arrest him. Aldridge was back behind bars. He escaped prison wanting to clear his name because his son was struggling with being a murderer’s son and yet it was his son who turned him in.
