Ben did not receive a police motorcade due to the corruption charges against him, so Vic took it upon himself to arrange the funeral. Curtis Lemansky, Ronnie Gardocki, Monica Rawling, Corrine Mackey, along with friends, loved ones, and police officers in blue were in attendance. Nancy thanked Vic for doing so since it meant a lot to Ben and Nancy's daughters. She did not feel the same, as she said that she hoped that Ben was scared, alone, and in a lot of pain during his time in Mexico. Vic tells her that Ben had his demons, but Nancy was heartbroken as she stated that he was also a womanizer who threw away 20 years of his police career and had disgraced his own family.
Season 6[]
Shane Vendrell asks Nancy for the money contacts she used to wire money to Ben when he was on the run in Mexico. Later it emerges that this was a ruse to get Nancy to ask Vic for protection; Vic then waits for Shane at Nancy's house, where Shane delivers a package to Vic.
Captain Claudette Wyms also pays Nancy a visit that same day. Nancy tells Claudette that both Vic and Shane had asked her for her Mexican money contacts.
