While searching for evidences, Jason and the player goes to the dressing room to find the empty can of Energy Beast energy drink writing on it, said "One day, you are soon to die like Kathryn!". Before they known about Kliment's relation with Kathryn three years ago, E.B. Butcher strikes again and attempt to poisoning Jason with energy drink.

After admitting to the murder, Calvin said he was sick of Kliment having a high reputation despite him working just as much for the community. Because of his grudge, he laced Kliment's tea with sleeping pills, freed the giant python in his dressing room, and then locked them in. Judge Westley sentenced him to 25 years in prison.

They talked to Genevieve Duckworth, who overheard that Shawn was going to the ballet theater, where the team found a lighter with fingerprints belonging to the park ranger Emil Bessette. Upon interrogation, Emil admitted that he broke Shawn out because the gang had made him the new leader of the Mexican gang.
