## Summary

Two witches start to walk toward them on the beach. Bjorn makes the first assault, hitting them both with his rifle. Sammie jumps in for backup and hits the witch with the force blast. The witch falls to the ground and the warlock hits Bjorn with a burst of energy. Henry fires a shot, but it goes wide. As the shot echoes around them, blue lights from a cop car flip on nearby. Bjorn quickly takes another shot and drops the warlock before he can act again.

Sammie falls to her knees in the sand, hit with a burst of pain. Bjorn hears footsteps behind them and turns to see two police officers. They have their guns drawn as they approach, telling them all to drop their weapons and get down on the ground. Sammie throws up an earth wall between them and the cops to buy them some time. Bjorn and Henry fly over the wall and swoop down to mind wipe both of the cops, planting a memory that they got to the beach and found the bodies here, making them forget they ever saw all of them there. Bjorn and Henry drag the cops back and put them in their police car. Sammie collapses the earth wall to remove traces of them.

As they get ready to leave for Oliver's apartment, Elise asks what's going on with everything that has just happened. All of the civilians with them seem scared to come with them now that they've seen them kill the witch and warlock and take down the cops. Sammie pulls down her shirt collar and reveals the Dream Weaver still connected to her and tells Elise that she reset time to save them. Seeing this creature seems to convince them and they all begin the trek on foot to Oliver's apartment.

On their way, Bjorn tries to listen in on the conversations of people in the streets to see if anyone spotted them flying above the Fort or island but he doesn't catch anything. The large group files into Oliver's apartment. Bjorn immediately goes into the most private room in the apartment, the bathroom, and calls the Council. He tells them that everyone on the island has seen the hydra and that there may have been video taken on cell phones of them flying around the Fort. The Council contact asks if he's contacted H.U.N.T.E.R. and advises that he files them in on everything - including that he's a Dragon Knight. He says he has permission to tell them everything, except about the Council's existence.

While Miguel is trying to tend to Sammie's wounds, Sammie uses magic to check in on her mom and see her condition. She sees Helena standing at the docks, holding her head where they've severed her ear. Helena can see the hydra destroying the Fort and looks devastated. A sharp pain brings Sammie back to herself and Miguel scolds her to stay still as he continues to work on her. Henry dozes off on a couch.

Bjorn walks back out into the living room after his call. He watches as the Dream Weaver detaches from Sammie's chest and starts to flee. Sammie pins it down while Bjorn rends it with his claws, then Sammie smashes it with her fist to finish it off. Oliver gripes about how expensive his carpet is before starting to pour some wine. Bjorn tells them he has something he needs to talk to them about privately. He has the civilians, other than Elise, go into another room. Someone wakes up Henry for the talk.

Bjorn tells them about his phone call with the Council. Henry presses him on what 'agency' he's talking about. Bjorn explains that his true allegiance is with the Council, but the Council decided it would be good for him to work for the government agency H.U.N.T.E.R. and they just permitted him to tell H.U.N.T.E.R. that he is a Dragon Knight to get them to help with the situation. Henry's conspiracy brain explodes. He knew there was some kind of agency stopping him from posting his conspiracy and monster theory channel, but never imagined Bjorn worked for them. Bjorn asks him if he has a conspiracy theory channel and Sammie admits that she follows him. Henry connects the dots of the screen name "pretty.in.ink" with Sammie. Bjorn assures Henry that they have no idea of his true identity and then Oliver brings them back on track to talking about reinforcements.

Bjorn asks the group if they should bring H.U.N.T.E.R. into the secret of their existence or not. Miguel expresses they need as much help as possible. Stanley, Sammie, and Henry agree. Oliver asks what they're going to do about the hydra when their backup arrives.
