| “ | You're not gonna do that. You see, I never touched that body, Betty. Or the car. Or went through his phone, or called his contacts. I didn't go through the sewer pipe. It's not my fingerprints or hair they're gonna find. You know, maybe I should call the police, tell them what sort of things my sister's capable of doing. You know, I don't think I am comfortable being in the same room as someone who's done those sorts of things. It scares me, Betty. You scare me. Can't you see that? You're scaring me, Betty! You're scaring me! | „ |

Biography[]
Season Two[]
At some point, Chic and Charles Smith became friends. However due to his anger issues, Chic killed Charles in a fight (though it is later revealed that Charles is alive).

Betty, however, becomes less and less convinced that Chic is her brother, especially through his suspicious behavior.
Ultimately, Betty figures out who Chic really is and what he did, so she decides to tie up Chic. She then takes him to the woods and forces him to admit to killing Charles and impersonating him. Chic confesses to the crimes before claiming that he didn't mean to kill Charles. Betty delivers Chic to the Black Hood, and it is unknown whether the Black Hood was able to kill him or not.
