Enter Killian Hampton

## Plot

### *Prologue*

The episode begins with Killian Hampton in a dark hallway as a grandfather clock chimes loudly. Killian then enters a dark basement. He gets more and more scared, the closer to the basement he gets. Just then, the darkness fades away to reveal Killian's art studio. Killian approaches a desk with paintings, and many other wooden figurines, including a wooden figurine of a balloon, just the exact same as Sebastian's.

Suddenly, a loud groaning sound is heard, as Killian turns around covering his ears, screaming to be left alone. Killian crouches down, covers his ears, and begins crying in fear. A gray hand suddenly grabs Killian by the neck, as the gray undead figure crawls up to him, begging for help. The undead figure tightens it's grip around Killian's throat. Luckily, the middle aged man gets free and tries to run away, before looking back at the undead figure, who has stopped moving. Killian approaches it, and it is revealed to be a petrified version of himself, much to the man's horror.

Suddenly, Killian wakes up from his horrible nightmare, laying next to his sleeping Wife, Miranda. Killian then silently cries. Far outside the Hampton Residence, on the other side of the street, the Purple Man is revealed to be standing in the woods, watching and waiting.

Watching.

Waiting.

### *October 6th, 2040*

Killian is at therapy, discussing with the Therapist his recent dream. The therapist asks Killian why he's been having these dreams, but Killian mentions that he's told her a million times that he doesn't know. Killian cries silently, while fidgeting his fingers. The therapist then asks about Killian's heart, and the man says that he had one before he arrived, much to the lady's shock, as she asks him if he went to the hospital, but Killian says that he doesn't like hospitals. The therapist then tells Killian to just think of positive things, saying that maybe the recent events of people going missing are troubling him, and reassures him that the Police Force are doing everything they can to find the missing citizens, but Killian is skeptical of that. The therapist questions Killian's skepticism, but he abruptly asks to leave. Killian then leaves.

Out in the town, Celestia and Archie are searching for Sniffy. Archie then mentions Sebastian, and Celestia asks about him. Archie then tells Celestia about Sebastian's heart attack, which was his first one ever. Archie explains to Celestia that one time during a trip on a cruise, Sebastian had fainted and fell off the boat, much to her shock. Archie tears up, and Celestia feels very bad for Sebastian. Archie and Celestia continue looking for Sniffy, for the sake of Sebastian.

At the Bonner Supermarket, the Stranger is purchasing some rope, gasoline, and a phone. The clerk is suspicious, but quietly rings up the items. As the Stranger leaves, Hoover is in her car spying on her. Hoover then drives away.

Back inside the supermarket, Killian is going grocery shopping with his Mother, Bridgette Hampton. Bridgette asks Killian about a watermelon, but the man's mind is elsewhere, until Bridgette snaps him back to reality. Bridgette asks Killian if he skipped out on therapy, but the man says he went. Just then, Valerie and Trixie show up, as Valerie greets Killian, who ignores her and walks away. Bridgette flashes a reassuring smile at Valerie before following after her Son. Valerie thinks for a moment, before returning to shopping. Trixie asks what that was about, but Valerie brushes it off.

At the Diaz Residence, Celestia, Archie, Josiah, and Mariposa, are all in the living room, making fliers for Sniffy. Josiah begins having second thoughts about trying to find Sniffy, but when everyone else just stares at him in response, he goes off to the kitchen to make some drinks. Archie reassures everyone not to worry about Josiah, since he's always like that. Mariposa is certain they'll find Sniffy, and even mentions that she used to have a pet fish but he died a day later, and Celestia says that the fish's name was Kennedy.

Josiah then returns with the drinks, asking when Priscilla is supposed to arrive, Celestia answers when everyone else arrives. With that, the four friends continue with the fliers.

At the Lynn Motel, the Stranger is at a vending machine, struggling to get a soda. Someone then offers to help, that someone being none other than Hoover, much to the Stranger's shock, as if she's seen a ghost. Hoover hands the Stranger the soda, but not before keeping a tight grip on it, leaning in and Whispering that she knows who the Stranger really is, and that she isn't fooling anyone. Hoover then let's go of the soda can and heads out in an optimistic way, as the Stranger throws the soda away and heads back to her room.

At the Hampton Residence, Killian is in his art studio, painting a red balloon. Up in the living room, Priscilla, Damien, and Luigio, are all waiting for Stella, who Damien says is probably freshening up, while Luigio doesn't understand why someone would need to freshen up just for a dog.

However, it's revealed that Stella is actually at the Bennett Residence with Sebastian, both looking at the recliner chair Phineas usually sits in, which is empty again. Axel appears, explaining to the two kids that Phineas always does this; leaves for a whole day, and doesn't return until midnight, but says that he's used to it by now. Sebastian asks his Dad if the missing citizens are going to get found, and his Dad reassures him that they will. But Stella thinks that even Axel isn't certain about that. The two kids then leave, as Axel looks at Phineas's recliner.

At the Chill Spot, the gang split up in groups of two to go and hand out the fliers about Sniffy. Celestia and Sebastian head out into town to hand out fliers, but none of the people take one from Celestia. Upon failing to give out fliers, Celestia sulks, knowing they won't take any from her just because she's a magical person. Sebastian reassures her, and even gives her a hug. It is a sweet moment, that is interrupted by the appearance of the Purple Man. Sebastian quietly flees, while the Purple Man takes a poster from Celestia, promising to keep a look out. Celestia is ecstatic that someone finally took a poster, but upon noticing that Sebastian is nowhere to be seen, she gathers the fliers and heads off to go look for him.

Elsewhere, in the residential area, the Stranger is heading somewhere, when she notices Sebastian. She follows him, but keeps a safe distance away. Sebastian arrives at the Hampton Residence, but notices the door slightly left opened. He fidgets his fingers, becoming nervous, but upon taking a few deep breaths, he calms down, and heads inside.

Once inside the house, Sebastian hears yelling come from the basement. He heads inside, entering Killian's art studio. Sebastian sees the painting of the red balloon, many other paintings, wooden figurines and even a wooden figurine of a balloon. Sebastian takes out his own wooden balloon figurine, when Killian appears, looking a tad bit beaten up, while mentioning to Sebastian that their are only one of those in existence, referring to the wooden balloon figurine.

Sebastian then tries to leave, but Killian stops him, kneels down, looks into Seb's eyes, and cries, much to the young boy's confusion. Killian hugs Sebastian, who hugs back, despite still feeling confused. Suddenly, the Purple Man appears out of a dark corner, telling Killian that his time is up. Killian and Sebastian both look at the man and then look at each other with panic in their eyes, as they begin fidgeting with their fingers at the same time.

Sebastian panics, asking Killian what's happening, but the man tells Sebastian to be strong for "Mom and Dad", much to Sebastian's confusion. The Purple Man tosses Sebastian to the side, and begins attacking Killian. Sebastian suddenly has a heart attack and collapses, as Killian has one as well. During this, both Valerie and Bridgette begin having uneasy feelings.

As for the Stranger, she arrives at the Bennett Residence, and tosses a brick through the window, shattering it. In the backyard, Axel has just finished cutting down Sebastian's tree and then he discovers the broken window and the brick, much to his shock.

Back at the art studio in the Hampton Residence, Killian and Sebastian regain consciousness, as the Purple Man takes out a crystal, and jams into Killian's throat. Killian dies and is turned to stone, shocking Sebastian to the point that he faints. The Purple Man burns the red balloon painting, destroys Killian's wooden balloon figurine, places a sheet over Killian's body, splashes red paint on the ground, and tosses a pipe beside it. The Purple Man then grabs Sebastian and leaves the house. Shortly after, the Stranger arrives and is distraught that she was too late to save Killian and Sebastian. Suddenly, she hears a noise, and escapes through a dimension portal.

As for Sebastian, he awakens in the room with the chair and the old fashioned tv. A ball of light is formed, as Sebastian faints into the Purple Man's arms. The Purple Man carries Sebastian into the ball of light, and it disappears with them in it, leaving their fates unknown for now.

Meanwhile, the Stranger is at her motel room, as she cries. Celestia returns to the Diaz Residence, where her friends, Axel, and the Police Force are there waiting for her. At the Hampton Residence, Killian's body is discovered by some Patrol-Bots, as he is wheeled out to an ambulance. Nearby, Hoover is in her car watching this, before smiling and driving away.

At the Morgue, the Hamptons see Killian's body, and are deeply distraught. Bridgette gets comforted by Gavin. As this happens, Celestia is meditating in her room, when her star marks glow, causing everything in the room to start levitating, including the locket.

### *Epilogue*

At midnight, Hoover is driving. She smiles at the recent events of Killian's death. Suddenly, she swerves out of a pedestrians way, and crashes head on into a tree, knocking her unconscious. The pedestrian is revealed to be Phineas, who notices Hoover, and suddenly runs off.

As Hoover left behind in the crashed car, the credits roll, as the blinker continues beeping.
