But he knows about it on the day he gets out of gaol, and he tells Sasha the
exact details of the deal then (304.31-5).

Sure she does: Zoyd tells her.

I disagree. The conversation between Zoyd and Sasha (305-6) tells us that
Brock had gloated that Sasha is a "push-button lefty, ideology before
family" and that she would "never let her [Frenesi] near Prairie", but it's
not the case at all. As we saw at the airport when Frenesi and then Zoyd
flew off to Hawaii, Sasha knew all about Brock and Frenesi but she held her
tongue (56-8). This episode happens *before* the marijuana monolith set up
and deal (in fact, Zoyd stalking and abusing Frenesi in Hawaii is probably a
primary cause in her decision to go back to Brock, leading eventually to the
"deal" she orchestrates to ensure that Prairie is looked after.)
