One of the first major characters killed in season three is Bash, the man who helped Tariq fund his Course Correct drug scheme (which eventually caught the attention of law enforcement). The investor comes after Tariq in the first episode, "Your Perception, Your Reality," after Brayden confessed to creating the college tutoring cover-up in court. Knowing Tariq was the real mastermind behind the app, and unaware of its true purpose, Bash blackmails Tariq for almost jeopardizing his reputation. Later on, during a meeting in his hotel room, Bash gets mouthy and threatens Tariq again until the latter takes a steak knife and stabs him in the stomach. Bash bleeds out on the floor until Tariq's partners, Cane and Brayden, show up to help him dump the body.
