Zade listens to ghostly footsteps in Parsons Manor, lamenting the fact that Claire destroyed all her devices after Zade’s broadcast. He believes that Claire is up to something, but he does not know what. Zade calls Jay and asks him to check on Adeline’s parents’ house. Jay confirms that someone broke into Serena’s house 30 minutes ago, and Zade springs to action. He tells Jay to send a drone to Serena’s house, wakes Adeline, and gets Sibby, telling everyone to bring weapons before piling into his car.
On the way, Jay spots men taking Adeline’s parents to a van, but he disables it with the drone. Zade, Adeline, and Sibby arrive, knowing that the men inside are aware of their presence. Adeline leads the group, and Zade finds her assertiveness attractive. They clear the first floor, killing two henchmen in the shadows. Upstairs, a sniper takes a shot at Zade, but Jay quickly dispatches him. Finding the second floor empty, Adeline suggests the basement. The basement is dark, and Sibby takes the lead, singing and dragging her knife on a wall.
