So they changed A lot. Maybe to move the story along so they could do the timeskip? I don’t remember Malone choking Sixx? He does get really mad and they have an awkward ride home. Sixx leaves before anyone wakes up and leaves behind a flower (which comes back later).
When he goes back to the circus he finds out they need more money for Andy’s medical expenses and agrees to help the crew steal the safe from the ringleaders trailer. He took some precious jewelry from the crew like Leticias necklace and the other performers necklace, and they say it’s taking back what he should’ve paid them anyway. Sixx’s job is to protect Leticia in wolf form as she gets the ringleader to give her the code. The Crew start a fire when they have to buy more time. Sixx turns back into a human while Leticia steps away. The Ringleader tries to convince Sixx to turn against them by telling him he knows information about his Mom, and that he’ll buy him new clothes and a radio. Sixx gets upset because the ringleader revealed that he was sitting on information about his mom and never told him, and that the Radio wouldn’t mean the same because it wasn’t from Malone. Sixx basically put together that the Ringleader framed him for stealing the necklace just cause he didn’t like the attention he was getting from Malone and the ringleader tries to make excuses. It escalates and Sixx ends up shooting the ringleader in the leg. They escape with the money and Leticia gets her necklace back. She tells Andy, Corbin and Sixx to come live with her.
