‘The Arrangement’ Season 1 Finale Spoilers: Terence, DeAnn Threaten Colton In New Sneak Peek

No one messes with the Institute for the Higher Mind.

In a sneak peek from Season 1 finale of “The Arrangement,” Terence (Michael Vartan) and DeAnn (Lexa Doig) meet up with Megan’s (Christine Evangelista) blackmailer, Colton (Jeremy Schuetze), not only to keep the actress’ decent public image, but also to protect the name of the Institute.

“I’ll tell you how this is gonna work first,” Terence tells Colton in a restaurant. “You’re not getting 5 million dollars today. But there’s a hundred grand in the bag. And 60 days from now if you’ve kept quiet, there will be another hundred thousand, and every 60 days after that. And five years from now if things go well, we’ll have 3 million dollars.”

Unsurprisingly, Colton isn’t okay with the arrangement. “I lost six years of my life because of Megan,” Colton tells Terence and DeAnn. “I’m not gonna let myself be played over by anybody. I get paid what I wanna get paid.”

DeAnn isn’t also onboard with Terence’s proposal, but not because of the same reason as Colton. “Jesus Christ, Terence!” an agitated DeAnn tells her husband. “This is not the way to handle this. Why don’t we just eliminate the problem? … Why are you clearly wasting your time?”

Terence tells DeAnn that he doesn’t want things to get messy, but the latter argues that it’s too late for that. Upset with how things are going down, the film producer stands up from her seat and starts making her way out of the restaurant.

Scared for his life, Colton follows DeAnn and stops her from exiting the establishment. “This isn’t right … this isn’t the way it works,” Colton tells DeAnn.

“Stop talking,” DeAnn replies. “You don’t get to have to say any more. I have spent a lifetime building what I have and I’m not gonna let you or anyone else destroy it.”

When Colton tries to argue once again, DeAnn cuts him short and threatens him. “I will put you in the ground,” DeAnn tells the extortionist. “So here’s what going on: you are gonna take the hundred thousand dollars and go away. That is all you get, and do count your blessings because you’ve messed with forces larger than you can possibly comprehend. Our organization is everywhere. If we see you, if we heard one word from you, I promise you there will be nowhere for you to run.”

As revealed in Season 1, episode 9, Megan killed her stepbrother Evan (Pavel Romano) for sleeping with her when they were younger, and Colton was the one who took the blame for the murder. After his stay in prison, Colton tracked Megan down and ultimately demanded $5 million from her. If he didn’t get the money, Colton told Megan that the public would know in no time that she’s a killer.

Elsewhere in the Season 1 finale, Megan starts her treatment at the Institute’s facility for Individual Transformation.

“The Arrangement” Season 1 finale, titled “The New Narrative,” airs on Sunday, May 7 at 10 p.m. EDT on E!
