## Summary

While Bjorn and Henry talk to Melody, Sammie talks to Mrs. Salt. She asks about Miles experience with sailing and Mrs. Salt says that he used to be a professional sailor and that it's totally normal for Miles and Melody to go out sailing together. They'd go every weekend. Sammie asks Mrs. Salt if he would have left behind some kind of map of where they were going and Mrs. Salt goes into Miles' office and finds the float plan he left behind. It lists all of the places they were planning on sailing to and an approximate time for when they'd be there. Mrs. Salt rips the page out of the journal and gives it to Sammie. Satisfied with the information they've learned, the trio goes to Bjorn's car to discuss.

Sammie shows Bjorn and Henry the float plan and Henry reaches out to examine it. He recognizes Sharp Tooth Island, where they'd met Oliver while hunting for the wendigo. There are a few other islands listed: Bear Mouth, Christmas Tree, and Anchors Ahoy Island. Henry picks out Christmas Tree Island, connecting it with the star drawn by Melody. Bjorn agrees its a solid lead and they should head there to investigate. Henry points nervously at the music notes Melody has drawn and says they should stock up on ear plugs before they go. Bjorn asks if he thinks its sirens and Henry says it must be something with music or sound. Bjorn agrees it seems like he's on the right track with sirens and that they'll need to be cautious.

Bjorn starts to drive down to the marina on east. They call Stanley and Miguel to let them know about their plan. They're going to follow Miles Salt's float plan, which will take them directly past the Fort. They'll stop at the Fort to get the ear plugs they had crafted while they were fighting the banshee and also do some research on sirens while they're there. They soon notice that there is a storm on the horizon and consider whether or not they need a bigger boat.

Bjorn calls Holland to ask if she has a larger boat they can use. Holland says they're more than welcome to get on one of the boats that are leaving soon. They realize if they go with the search party, there will be a lot of innocent civilians with them that would be at risk.

Their plan rapidly changes. They arrive at the marina on East Thornvale, jump on their boat, and head over to the docks on West Thornvale where the search party is leaving from. On the way over, Bjorn calls H.U.N.T.E.R. to see how they can help. Indigo tells Bjorn that he can't help him with the acquisition of a boat. Henry does some research on his phone and finds that the sirens keep the men they've lured under their control as an army of sorts.

At the docks on West Thornvale, the docks are a cacophony of noise and activity. Several boats are leaving to try and do some searching before the storm rolls in. Henry runs to a store to buy them ear plugs. Bjorn talks to Captain Holland to try and see about getting a private boat. Holland says she's not sure if they'll be able to find something like that down here, no one is going to just give him their boat. Bjorn asks Holland if she can try to keep the official search short and away from Christmas Tree Island. Holland says that she'll try her best, but she doesn't have any control over people who aren't police.

Holland then takes a moment to ask Bjorn if he's okay, that she hasn't seen him in a while. Bjorn brushes it off as he just needed some alone time. Someone runs up to Holland and tells her that there are two more missing, she tells Bjorn she has to go and quickly leaves the scene. Henry arrives back and tells the group he's managed to get 6 pairs of ear plugs, enough for a main and back up set for each of them. Bjorn says they might end up sharing because he wasn't able to get a boat to themselves.

Henry notices a boat that is starting to leave the docks. He sees two fishermen on deck and then another person he recognizes - Oliver Allen Evans.
