## Episode Summary

After the group heard Jordan Winchester's screams, the guests then soon find the 1960s exhibition where Jordan woke up in earlier in the night. They then find a dead body, who Monica was able to identify after finding his ID, to be songwriter Gregory Charles. Shortly after, they then get caught by the FBI, who demand that they put their hands up, about to arrest the guests for the murder. However Arthur, due to his tenure with the FBI, is able to give the guests time to investigate and solve the murder themselves to prove their innocence. The head of the FBI agents then told them that the victim was a songwriter, who was going to attend a festival. Joshua and Silvano then inspected Gregory's body, which showed the man was nearly brutally decapitated, the splatter of blood on the wall suggesting the killer was right handed.

Meanwhile, Valeria, Monica, Jordan and Deklan find a quote that they were able to match to a bloodstained book that helped them confirm the killer reads the Syndicate. They were also able to find a poster that featured a rock star named Jake Coleman. In the festival, the others start talking to various people there about the victim, soon learning that the victim clashed with Matthew Moreau and got along with Velma Sinclaire, even questioning his boyfriend William Stark about the murder. Meanwhile, a socialite named Nancy Valentini starts flirting with Chris, even giving him a few kisses on the cheek and on the lips, causing Chris to flee the scene a bit disgusted.

Meanwhile, Valeria and Savannah questioned Jake about his rivalry with the victim as Monica asked Officer Barbara Goodwin about if she saw the victim, the latter telling her that he was looking forward to his contract with Campbell Records. As Monica, Tyler and Al find out about Grayson Campbell and the fact that Matthew's contract with the same company was rejected, they further question the two. As well, Valeria uses her intellectual con woman skills to interrogate suspects and collect clues about them, including meeting Detective Raymond Henderson and finding out more about the other suspects. Chris returned to question Barbara about the victim denting her army helmet. Monica then finally finds a bloodstained tie, which prompts the guests to analyse it with Josh's guidance.

Back in the murder scene, Joshua, Christopher and Silvano discover a snack bag and a bloodstained pocket knife. With their efforts, they determined that their killer ate granola and wore a psychedelic swirl pattern. Soon after, they then discovered that the others had found Gregory's bloodstained tie that was left in the festival. They then find foreign DNA that confirmed the killer's eye color to be blue, incriminating Raymond and Jake as the killers. They then discover that they had to vote two into the challenge of making the two suspected killers confess, until one of them confessed to the crime.

The guests then voted and Arthur drew the cards, due to Theodosia's mysterious disappearance, before he revealed that Charlie and Monica were the chosen two to face the suspected killers. Monica then successfully pulls off her interrogation, making Raymond confess to the crime, saying that Gregory was in a criminal syndicate that used and killed his only son. Raymond then attempted to shoot Charlie, before the FBI intervened and arrested the killer for his crime, before Jordan Winchester appeared, holding a key. The trio of friends from their party then fled the scene. After the guests celebrate their friends' survival, they then headed back to the lounge, where they discovered Theodosia there, waiting for them. Monica then puts in the next key, before they then stayed alert, wondering what was about to happen.

And then they heard the cackles of the Curator.
