The demonically possessed Walters was expecting them and reveals that Walters ' cancer is in its final stages, rendering her useless to the conspiracy. The demon tries to implore Devin to take it in, having always preferred him over Walters. When the demon refuses to provide any useful info, Mouse replaces its IV with one full of holy water, torturing it. At this point the demon begins speaking in Marcus ' voice, hinting at dark secrets Mouse has been keeping from Devin. The demon also infers that its peers have plans for Tomas who is vulnerable to possession after letting Cindy 's demon into his mind during his exorcism attempts. As Devin presses the demon for more answers, Mouse kills Walters with a shot to the head. The demon 's expulsion is violent enough to damage the room, badly injuring Devin with debris. Andy questions whether Nicole is really there with him. She tells him that nothing will ever separate them again and that he needs to get his house in order. Andy and Rose visit Truck who is miserable and kept medicated to prevent his sleepwalking. He speaks of a force which influenced him to hurt Verity, but Rose seems skeptical.

Harper and Marcus talk and she mentions that she heard a voice in the woods. Tomas visits Rose to ask about any strange events in the house, but she does n't confirm anything. Rose invites Tomas and Marcus over for dinner which Andy begrudgingly allows. During a tense dinner, Harper reveals that the priests are exorcists which leads to a discussion about religion versus science. Andy, a psychologist, pointedly mentions that Tomas and Marcus ' religion treated Verity 's homosexuality as a sin and tried to cure her of it. Tomas apologizes for the church 's actions and the three agree to leave Verity out of any further discussion. After dinner, the three men continue to talk, with Marcus attempting to bait the demon into revealing itself. To that end, he questions Andy 's inability to prevent his wife 's death, but Nicole keeps Andy from overreacting.

Tomas and Marcus reluctantly leave, planning to watch the house from outside and even to abduct Andy when the time is right.

Harper is awoken by a strange noise and discovers her psychotic mother in her room. Harper 's mother attempts to abduct her and threatens to hurt Verity when Harper refuses to leave. As Harper leaves with her mother, they encounter Marcus and Tomas. The priests fight to prevent Harper from being abducted. Nicole unleashes enough power to send all of the adults flying. Andy, possessed, begins strangling a downed Rose. Verity 's screams seem to snap Andy out of it and he leaves the bedroom and encounters Harper 's mother.
