Unable to remove it, she explores the hotel floor, until she meets Nate, who is in the same situation, except he needs help to get free. After unsuccessfully checking the rest of the rooms for others, Elia joins them from another floor. After a short confrontation between Nest and Elia, the three go down, closer towards the presumed exit. However, they are prevented from leaving by Kylian, the mastermind behind the incident. He convinces them to stay at the facility for his experiments, and the four go to his office. Here, the episode ends.

## Plot

The episode begins with Nest waking up in a hotel bed, shocked and hyperventilating. She tries to stand up, but her left arm gets held back. Without issue, she frees herself. She is unable to use her powers, which she correctly guesses to be caused by the weird bracelet that was placed on her left wrist. After inspecting it, failing to find a way to remove it, she stands up, looking at herself in the mirror. When she reaches out to touch it, sudden visions shoot into her head. She then attempts to break the bracelet on a cabinet, but just hurts herself in the process.

Not long afterwards, Nest leaves her room, walking across the hotel corridor, checking if anyone else is there. Suddenly, she hears something from one of the rooms, and, upon entering, sees Nate, who is stuck in the same way she was when she woke up, though he needs help being freed. She wants him to give her information in exchange for her freeing him, but he wants her to free him first. She insists he tells her something, and Nate cheekily tells her that they're in a hotel. After a sarcastic comment from Nest, Nate asks her what she expected him to say, and she finally frees him, reasoning that two people can search for the exit faster.

Once he is freed, Nate introduces himself, asking Nest for her name. She says that not only does she not care about Nate's name, but there is also no reason to tell him hers, because she expects to be outside and away again very soon. Scolding her for her bad manners, Nate says that trusting each other is the first step to getting back outside. Nest gives in and introduces herself, with the two shaking hands. Nate asks Nest what to do next, with her wanting to check the other rooms. He recommends splitting up, and although she agrees, they end up going together.

After checking every other room on the floor, they return to one of their rooms, brainstorming on what to do next. Nate despairs, asking if they'll stay here until they starve to death, to which Nest brags about her inability to starve. Understandably confused, Nate asks her to elaborate, and Nest repeats that she doesn't need food to survive. Though, she still eats it, because she likes the taste. When Nate asks Nest what she is, she falls silent for a moment, when suddenly, Elia enters the room. Nate is flabbergasted, asking her where she was hiding. She annoyedly explains that hotels tend to have multiple floors. He then says Nest and him had searched the whole floor, which makes Elia and Nest notice each other, leading to an intense staredown between the two.

After Nest walks away from the confrontation, saying it's meaningless without their powers, the other two follow her, ending up on a different floor. They arrive at a long, dark, ominous hallway, but, before they can explore it further, a man in a white labcoat approaches them from behind, introducing himself as none other than Kylian, the lead researcher of the facility, and the one behind their abduction. Naturally, he becomes their top priority, with Nest immediately demanding being released. Kylian, however, has other plans; in his research, he noticed the rare blood of the nests, which he states could save millions of lives if they worked together. Self-centered as Nest is, she refuses to cooperate, saying that all she wants is to go back and forget.

    As Nest walks away, Kylian takes this as an opportunity to win her over, assuring her that he can make her forget her past if she so desires. And she halts. Before Nest can think of what to say, Elia takes her turn to talk, requesting that Kylian explains everything to the three. Simply put, he says, both the kidnapping and bracelets were for the safety of Kylian and his personnel. With people as volatile as Nest running around on the loose, this was a necessary precaution. Kylian again asks for cooperation, saying that he can make Elia's wish come true. Naturally, she is surprised to hear him say this, implying that he already knows her wish.

Kylian assures them that they will be returned home safely once experiments conclude, and, upon Nest asking him to elaborate on what they have to do, tells them that Kylian's team will take a sample of their blood to experiment. Meanwhile, the subjects will remain within the facility, so that, in case Kylian runs out of blood, he can get more. During their stay at the facility, so Kylian says, they will receive anything that they require for a comfortable stay, which finally convinces Nest. After all, to get what she wants, all she has to do is wait. Elia agrees to the terms as well, although she still wants more questions answered. Kylian offers to discuss these in his office.

As they all pass by Kylian to get to his office, he turns his head and nods to Nate, who winks back. Just when they are about to leave, Nest turns back around to Nate, who hadn't walked with them, asking him if he was coming or staying there. A bit hesitantly, he follows them, smiling at Kylian as he goes past him. Here, the episode ends.

## Trivia

* Nest displays unsually good hearing twice in this episode. The first time was when she heard something in Nate's room without the audience being able to, and the second time was that she was the first to hear Kylian approaching. This is likely due to her large fox ears.
