Events of Small Crimes
Joe Denton first meets Charlotte Boyd at Manny Vassey's house, as she was the latter's nurse due to his declining health. Their first encounter occurs while Joe is smothering Manny with a pillow, which she interrupts by walking into the room. Joe manages to stop just before she enters and plays it off.

Later on, Joe and Charlotte encounter each other in a diner. After some conversation, the two seem to be romantically inclined towards each other. After a dance at a mexican restaurant, the two begin dating.

As Joe and Boyd grow closer, it is revealed that she is in fact aware of who Joe truly is and his past, but does not seem to care for it and the relationship continues to grow. However, eventually, Denton's situation spirals out of control.

Surprisingly, Charlotte eventually kills Manny as a means to help her lover's situation, but is caught in the act by Junior. Immediately after this, Joe wakes up in her bed and finds a note she left him nearby reading "Second Chance. XO". Before he can even leave the house, Junior's thugs ambush him at the porch and kidnap him.As they drive him to a remote rural location, Junior implies that he has killed Charlotte.

As they prepare to kill Joe, Scotty arrives and opens fire upon Junior and his thugs, killing Junior and one of his thugs, while Denton kils the second thug. Joe goes to a hatch in the floor where Charlotte presumably is, and opens it. What is inside the hatch however, is never revealed, leaving Charlotte Boyd's fate unknown.
