Dusty is settling into her adjusted life with the Expendables now that they know the truth about her parents and her relationship with Lee. Despite life taking a turn for the better, she still must battle her inner demons and try to find peace with the things she has done in the past. Barney thinks hard about his feelings and his role as a father-figure.

There's still loose ends to tie up and truths to learn about each other that are keeping everyone on edge. Sammy navigates the world of a mercenary through new eyes as they hunt to finally put an end to Conrad's control. Lee and Barney both struggle to fight alongside the people they care the most about. Gunner wants to be better, but he isn't sure how to unburn those bridges.

Growing up alongside the Shaws had its ups and downs. Nobody knew that better than Gemma Barkley, who spent the most formative parts of her life alongside the Shaw siblings. The older they all got, the more complicated they realized life was. Suddenly all their grifts became gambles, and one thing was for sure: the house always won.

Sammy is still adapting to life with the Expendables. Some news arrives one day and changes everything she thought was her new normal. She's going to have to make some compromises in order to make what she believes is the right decision. The only problem is that it might cost her everything. Barney has a lot on his mind, and his rocky past might be just what the team needs to help.

They didn't even want to take on a trainee, but Barney had been convincing, and it was his team, so they did. A couple years later left them with Dusty, a fiery twenty-something that was deadly with a bow and arrow and had an attitude that they all agreed would get her killed one day. Barney swore to protect her, but she's still recovering from his last failed attempt at that.
