Season 3 - Episode 26: Twitterpated

== Synopsis ==
Sammie finds both Oliver and Elise at the festival and then meets back up with Bjorn and Henry. They ask Oliver a series of questions about how he's feeling, but he doesn't seem to think anything is wrong and is very calm. He is also a bit overly affectionate with Sammie, keeping her close to him. They switch gears to try and find Samantha, realizing this fungus must be the 'distraction' Bjorn heard about in his vision. They find the hotel Samantha has been holed up in. Inside her room, they find a lot of information. They find out how to kill the fungus and the flower it's connected to and how to keep people alive who've been infected. They also find a list of targets that Samantha seems to be after. They recognize a few of the targets as members of the Blackout Society. As they start to formulate a plan to tell Holland to evacuate the festival and Sophia to gather the targets, a TV turns on in the room. It's a message from Samantha telling them to run. A few seconds later, Henry throws up a shield spell just as explosives behind the TV detonate.

== Summary ==
Sammie notices that Oliver has a dopey look on his face and his pupils are dilated after he kisses her. She swears to kill Samantha but Oliver doesn't seem to respond, only trying to be as close as possible to Sammie. Sammie looks around for Elise and eventually finds her. She leads them both out of the concert and then explains to Elise what is going on. 
Sammie finds Bjorn and Henry and tells them they have a problem, gesturing up to Oliver's painted face. Oliver doesn't seem to think anything is wrong. He nuzzles into Sammie and holds onto her tightly. Henry offers to punch him to knock him out since they don't want the fungus to kill him, but Sammie stops him swiftly. Bjorn asks Oliver how he's feeling and he says he feels fine. Sammie reaches up to check his pulse and it also seems normal. 
Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, Oliver, and Elise move to somewhere more private to talk about exactly what is going on. Bjorn tries to explain to Oliver that he's been contaminated through his face paint but Oliver doesn't seem to understand or feel off at all. Bjorn points out that he's a bit more affectionate than usual and Oliver just comments that it's Valentine's Day. Bjorn says it's clear Samantha did something but that she must have used something from a creature. Sammie holds up her phone to ask Oliver or Elise if they recognize the hotel in the photo Sammie found on the Blackout Society's murder boards. Elise recognizes it and tells them where it is. 
Bjorn suddenly remembers that in his vision, someone said that 'this would keep them busy for a while.' He wonders if this whole ordeal with the fungus is just a distraction from something else Samantha is doing. They try to come up with a strategy to figure out what Samantha's doing. They're at a bit of a loss and their only lead is the hotel in the photo. They're also worried about what might happen if Oliver loses contact with Sammie. Sammie manages to get Oliver to give her at least a bit of space to move by just holding her hand. 
They eventually reach the far end of downtown to a hotel that matches the one in the photo. Sammie is able to see trails of magical energy, strong ones. It looks like someone has come in and out of this building several times. She looks up and sees a concentration of magic in a window on the third floor. Sammie leads them to the correct door and tells them this is the right one. She asks if they should break in and Bjorn agrees. Bjorn and Henry tag team the door and break it open. Bjorn asks if they should check for traps as he's sure an alternate version of Sammie would want to protect her hiding spot. Sammie says she doesn't think Samantha seemed confident and doesn't think she'll expect them to be able to find where she's hiding. 
Bjorn heads to the bathroom, Sammie looks around the bed, and Henry looks in a closet. Bjorn and Sammie don't find anything, but Henry finds Samantha's personal murder board in the closet. Henry rolls the board out into the middle of the room. In the middle is a photo of a large flower, like a hibiscus but the size of a person. All around it are formulas written down and notes regarding effects and progress. Henry discovers through these notes that there is a specific hormone that is able to stop the progress of the fungus and kill it - oxytocin. There is also a section on the board labeled 'targets' with photos of different people, some of whom they recognize from the Blackout Society. 
Bjorn sees a map of the festival with a big red 'x' under the concert stage. This is labeled 'primary distraction.' He also realizes there seems to be a symbiotic relationship between the flower and its fungal network and that the fungus that's affecting people must come from this large flower. Sammie thinks that if they inject the flower with oxytocin, that will kill of the remaining fungus to keep it from spreading, then the flower can be destroyed as a normal flower. She also finds notes that make it seem as though someone was testing the fungus on people. These notes say the fungus reacts and grows more quickly when exposed to testosterone. Sammie takes this to mean they'll need to keep Oliver calm to keep him safe. The notes also say that those exposed to testosterone die very quickly while those that remain calm outlive the fungal infection as it only seems to be able to live 24 hours in a human host. 
Bjorn says they need to find the targets and keep them safe, assuming the alternates are working to replace these targets. He also theorizes that the giant flower is under the stage and at some point is set to release all of its spores. He says they should call Sophia to gather the specific group of targets and get them secured and meanwhile have Holland evacuate the festival. Sammie walks over to a telescope in the apartment and looks through it, finding it looks directly at the stage. 
As they're having this conversation, there is a click as the TV in the room turns on. Samantha smiles and says that she hopes they found out everything they hoped to find, but she suggests that they run. At the same time, Elise closes the apartment door and they all see a green sigil painted on the back of it. Henry is able to throw up a shield spell around them just in time as the television that was rigged to explode detonates.
