He is a notorious assassin and co-conspirator of a woman named Demir. The intel about Aksoy comes from Erica Shepherd who befriended her in prison. Shepherd was able to gain Demir's trust since they had something in common: they both betrayed their country.

The FBI eventually get a hit on Aksoy's location. They tail him there. Despite their best efforts, Aksoy escapes with some Spider-Man agility, clambering over shipping containers to book it.

Reunited, Erica wants to know everything she can about what she's missed in Hannah's life. Attempting to catch her up on grades and extracurricular activities, a sticky topic emerges when Hannah gets cagey about why she quit volleyball.
The other teams found out about Erica's criminal background and the implication is Hannah was bullied for it. Her father decided it was best to take her off the team for a while. It must suck for Erica to know she can't do much to make her own kid feel better.
She makes it clear she understands all the questions Hannah must have. "I need my mom more." Hannah responds. We see the glimmer of what the relationship between them used to be.
