## Plot

Kurt leans into his locker when he is interrupted by Sadie asking him about the events of yesterday and if he is okay. Kurt brushes her off and leaves, slamming his locker in her face. Kurt leaves into his routinely session with his therapist, Dr. Wilkerson. Wilkerson asks Kurt what's on his mind, so Kurt asks him if he's ever been blackmailed. Wilkerson tells him that he hasn't and that if Kurt or anyone is, they should report it. Kurt asks him how, to which Wilkerson tells him that there's always a way if he is innocent. Kurt gets the idea to collect evidence against Alfred so he can report him.

the Lead detective, Seth, his assistant, Mireina, and the police force all surround a dead body discovered in a field. They state that it's the 19ths they've found and that all of them have been New Wardwell students, showing the culprit has a target. Seth takes Mireina to the Ann Noveu Library to further investigate the history of the schools. They find that the past schools were mysteriously demolished for an unknown reason, with every article saying something different. From shootings to cults and fires. They call it quits for the day and begin to leave, although an assistant librarian was listening in to their conversation and appeared to be texting someone about it.

Klavdii wakes up and walks downstairs to Wolfe and Velvet, who are excited to see him. They question him about his whereabouts yesterday, taking his silence as confirmation that he was with the culprit last night. Velvet reminds Klavdii of his state when they found him, having almost died, and how he shouldn't be out on his own, let alone with the one who did it to him. Klavdii simply nervously cracks his fingers. Velvet and Wolfe further discuss Klavdii's situation while they prepare food in the back kitchen. Wolfe suggests talking Klavdii "upstairs", saying that he's not really one of them until he's been in there. Velvet disagrees, out of fear that Klavdii could destroy their evidence in defense of the culprit, but tells him that it's up to him in the end.

Wolfe takes Klavdii upstairs as he planned, revealing the base of T.R.U.T.H. Wolfe explains that T.R.U.T.H. stands for Truth, Retribution, Union, Trust, and Hope, He further explains to him how useful Klavdii could be since he knows the culprit personally and how he hopes he's come around eventually.

The next day, Velvet asks Wolfe if he invited him into the base last night. Wolfe tells her he did and that it went well, further claiming he just needs time to warm up. However, they are interrupted by Erin, who aggressively walks past them both to Klavdii's table. She slams her hand against the table to get his attention and tells him that even if he's one of them now, she still doesn't like him, nor does she trust him. Klavdii nods and tells her that he understands. Erin's entire demeanor changes, and she nervously says good.

Seth and Mireina enter the doors of New Wardwell to continue their investigation. Kurt sees them and asks what they're doing here. Mireina gets excited to see him and pats his head. Seth interrupts both of them, reminding Mireina why they're there. After they both leave, Kurt thinks that this must be connected to the Alfred situation. He hesitantly called Alfred, informing him about the investigation and asking him for advice on what to do to keep them off their trail. Alfred tells Kurt to ask to help with the investigation, and he'll lead him from there. Kurt asks Alfred why he's targeting New Wardwell. Alfred tells him that he can't tell him why but that New Wardwell is damned and that it always was. When Kurt tries to ask for an explanation, Alfred hangs up.

Kurt follows Seth and Mireina and does as Alfred told him to do, asking if he can help with the investigation.
