## Summary

The hunt for the missing teens turns up a severed arm, which leads Allie Ann to do her own investigating, and a warning when she gets too close.

## Plot

In the woods, a policewoman named Robin finds a severed arm on the ground. She calls dispatch on her phone, telling them she found something.

In a coffee shop later that day, Allie Ann is telling her friends about the arm her mother found in the woods, and that she believes it could be from one of the missing kids. Tris remarks on how cool Allie Ann's mom is, and asks if they have any leads, which Allie Ann denies. Jaina comes into the shop and orders two coffees, and notices Allie Ann and her friends sitting there, staring at her. Jaina takes her coffees and leaves. Hannah tells Allie Ann that Jaina has "such a girl crush" on her, and they laugh.

Outside, Jaina sits down with Taylor, saying that the bitch brigade is inside if she wants to go say hello, and asks her how she's doing. Taylor shrugs, and Jaina says that's better than her banging down her door in the middle of the night, crying and hysterical. Taylor says that she doesn't remember anything, and Jaina tells her that she said that she and her father got into a fight and he slapped her. Taylor asks her if she's heard from Lance, and Jaina says that he ghosted her, saying something about not feeling well. Allie Ann and her friends watch them from inside the shop, and she says that Taylor and Jaina probably killed the kids before laughing with her friends again.

That night, Allie Ann's mother is immersed in her work, and Allie Ann asks her if there's any new information. Allie's mother, worn out from the day's work, tells her daughter that she's not interested in feeding her gossip circle, and she needs to let her work.

The next day, Jaina and Taylor are taking a walk in the woods, debating who caused the death of the missing students. When they reach the crime scene, they are greeted by Allie Ann, who has come to investigate as well. Jaina asks Allie Ann if she's playing junior detective, to which Allie Ann asks if they're playing secret lesbians. Jaina replies that all she hears is projection, and she and Taylor leave. Allie Ann starts to leave as well, and the cult member from the previous episode comes out from the woods and hacks her in the shoulder with an axe. Allie Ann starts to run, and manages to evade the killer until she falls down a hill. She sees a dead body belonging to one of the teenagers, and starts screaming for help. The cult member comes up behind her and hacks her in the back. Allie Ann turns over, and as she pleads for mercy, the cult member brings the axe down, narrowly missing her head and leaves her alone.

In the coffee shop, Jaina is visited by Roger, who tells her that they need to talk. At her home, Taylor writes about how people with power only care about violence, and that power corrupts because it empowers people regardless of their own influence. She can feel herself starting to "see the levity in the disorder", in letting go, and in her true potential. As Taylor narrates her journal entry, Roger is shown talking to Jaina, and Allie Ann is in the shower washing the wound in her back.
