== Summary ==
Henry goes to visit Judson at the morgue and examine the body. Henry tells Judson that they know the cause of the contamination is from the face paint. Judson says that it's going to take a few hours to do an in-depth autopsy. While he's waiting, Henry does some research on his phone to narrow down what could have done this. 
Bjorn and Sammie find the Festipaint truck that holds the supplies for the face-painting tent. Sammie senses some traces of Rift magic, but isn't able to narrow down where it's coming from. Bjorn notices a lock that's been cut on the back of one of the Festipaint trucks. Bjorn and Sammie look inside the truck. There are boxes full of paint, a large cooler chest, and extra tent supplies. Sammie looks around again for Rift magic and finds some leftover traces from where the contaminated paint was, but realizes that all the paint is gone that was infused with Rift magic. She points out some splatters left behind where the paint was mixed with something. 
Sammie texts Henry for an update, but he doesn't have anything as Judson hasn't made much progress. Bjorn calls Holland to tell her to shut down all the face-painting tents at the festival. Bjorn updates her on the situation and gives her as much detail as he can. Sammie uses magic to scroll backward through time to see who contaminated the paint. She sees a person with blue hair and a glitched-out face wearing a pink and blue uniform. The person flips Sammie off and then flicks her out of the vision. Sammie flies backward into the back of the truck, hitting the wall hard and falling onto the cooler. Bjorn is finishing his conversation as this happens and Sammie tells him what she saw. 
Bjorn and Sammie try to figure out how to find Samantha and stop her from contaminating anything else. Bjorn asks what Samantha is wearing to try and help them identify her more easily. Sammie isn't sure as Samantha's protections against her blurred her vision. She looks down at herself and realizes there is blood on her hand and opens up the cooler she landed on. Inside the cooler is the naked body of a woman. Bjorn and Sammie immediately realize that Samantha has killed this girl, stolen her uniform, and is now disguised as a Festipaint worker. Bjorn updates Holland with this information. 
Bjorn and Sammie head to the morgue to meet up with Henry. They see more people seemingly affected by this contaminated paint on the way - two people with pink face paint are trying to kiss each other as police pull them away from each other. Sammie texts Elise and Oliver to tell them not to get their face painted. They arrive at the station and meet up with Henry and Judson. Judson asks them to lock the door behind them on their way in. Bjorn and Sammie catch Henry up to speed on the situation. Judson then shows them the inside of the man's chest. 
The man's heart seems to have burst. Around the area where is heart should be, there are lines of a pink-colored mold growing outward from the heart and into the man's lungs. Henry realizes that this is a magical fungus that is still alive. He tells everyone to back away from the body and warns the fungus is still alive. He explains that the fungus is using people as a host and to kill it they need to find a specific fungicide it reacts to. They all help Judson to get the corpse in a body bag and put it in a mortuary fridge to keep it contained for now. On their way out of the morgue, Judson asks them to lock the door again on their way out. Sammie asks him if he's okay and Judson insists that he is, though his cheeks flush. 
Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie head downtown to try and stop the spread of the fungus. Most of the tents have already been shut down by the police force by the time they reach them. Henry walks up to some of the Festipaint workers and asks when they last saw the person supplying them with paint. They say about an hour ago but don't know where she went. Sammie looks around for Oliver or Elise at the festival. She spots Oliver first and approaches him, only to find he has a pink flamingo painted on the side of his face. Oliver immediately wraps Sammie up in a hug and begins to try and kiss her.
