## Summary

Sammie tells everyone what she witnessed at the police station. Bjorn, frustrated that their effort to mind wipe Holland and lock up the shop seems to have failed, says they need to get down to the station to deal with the problem. The crew discusses the problem and decides to go to the station first, check out the middle school, and then potentially go into the sewers themselves.

On their way to the station, Bjorn tells them that their best strategy is to 'play stupid' and pretend as though they don't know about anything that's going on. As they arrive, Bjorn notices a Hummer pulled up to the curb. Angelina is sitting in the driver's seat with the window rolled down. Bjorn tells Sammie and Henry to go take a look around while he talks to her. Bjorn catches Angelina up to speed on the situation. Angelina isn't happy to hear that news about the man that's turned to stone has spread. She tells 'Knudtson' to deal with it and then leaves the scene.

Sammie and Henry have a chat while Bjorn is busy with Angelina. Sammie asks Henry if something is wrong, given he's been acting strange recently. Henry says that he started school and he's having a hard time pretending he's 'just like everyone else' while he's there. Sammie says that she understands, that she went through exactly the same thing, and he can talk to her about it. Henry then switches the conversation around and says that even if he did 'take a ship in the back' for Oliver, he doesn't mind her dating him too much. Sammie blushes, saying it's not "official" and they've only gone on one date, and then quickly leaves the conversation to investigate the scene.

Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie walk into the station and to the front desk. The receptionist says that only Bjorn is allowed back to see her, leaving Sammie and Henry in the lobby. Henry decides to pretend that he wants to job shadow a police officer for school and asks the receptionist if she can go on a tour of the station. The receptionist tells him no, saying no one is allowed back into the station right now and to come back in a few days for a tour.

Bjorn finds Captain Holland in the morgue. Holland, Judson Stone, and a few officers are gathered around the petrified body of John Wright. Bjorn pretends as though he doesn't know what's going on and Holland and Judson tell him that there is bone in the center of the stone and that the statue 'bleeds' when a part is broken from it. Bjorn tells them he isn't sure this isn't just some elaborate prank to try and throw them off the trail. Bjorn takes a closer look at the body and notices a set of puncture marks on the man's leg. There also seems to be a piece of broken pottery in the man's stone hand. Bjorn points out the piece and Judson pulls it out of the man's grip. It's a piece of orange and black pottery that seems to have the nose of a rodent painted onto it.

Suddenly, Bjorn hears a grating noise behind him. He turns to see the grate pop up and out of the floor. Two bright red eyes stare at him from underneath.
