## Summary

Sammie texts the group chat and tells them there is someone else in town messing with people's memories and explains what's going on. Bjorn asks her if he should investigate the 'missing person' angle more and Oliver passes along the information of the father he met at the Blackout Society meeting and his daughter that's missing. Henry is still in school, but he does read the messages during class. He says he'll ask around about the daughter.

Sammie and Oliver head to the Fish Bone bar on West that Oliver was at with his friends. Sammie tries to look around for any magical traces in the area but doesn't find anything. Oliver's memories aren't triggered by anything, but Oliver also admits that he was pretty drunk that night after having a good time with his friends. They head down a few blocks to a club near the beach. Oliver tells Sammie that the missing woman was kicked out of the club because she wouldn't pay for her drinks and that's the last time her friends saw her.

Oliver is feeling confused, saying she was kicked out around the same time he left the Fish Bone, so they should have been on the street at the same time. But he went back inside for some reason. He can't remember why or when. Sammie suggests he look at his Uber app to see what time he called for one. He says it arrived around 9:30 but says the driver couldn't find him, tried to call him, and then left. Oliver doesn't remember any of this. Sammie closes her eyes and goes backward in time. She sees the girl get kicked out of the club, stumble down the sidewalk, and then sees the same dark silver sedan roll up to her.

Sammie tries to get closer to see who's inside but there seems to be some kind of magical presence blocking her from seeing more. All she sees is a man's hand reach out and touch the girl on the arm. Sammie hears Jadis say she hasn't "seen those" in a while and Sammie asks what she means. Jadis points out the rings on the man's hand and says she hasn't seen them in a long time, but doesn't get any more out of her. Sammie can't see the man's face or any more of the event as there seems to be a magical haze protecting him from view. Sammie pulls back to the present and tells Oliver what she saw.

Sammie texts Bjorn to ask if he's found anything. When she looks up from her phone, she notices a man standing across the street from them. The man is tall, even taller than Oliver, with pale skin and appears to be in his late 20s. He's wearing a long sleeve shirt which hangs partially open in the front with dark washed jeans. He has long, black hair which hangs below his shoulders. The man seems to be taking photos and video of them and the area. He notices Sammie looking at him and quickly walks into a nearby alleyway.

Bjorn calls Holland to see if she has any information on the missing woman as it could be related to their kinds of cases. Holland says they currently only have one missing person case open, a girl reported missing by her father. Bjorn says that's the one and Holland admits they haven't really found much of anything - the girl is someone who has ended up in their drunk tank a lot and has disappeared for several days at a time in the past. Bjorn asks for basic information and finds out her name is Selena Juarez, she's a 22-year-old college student here on the island, has had a couple arrests for drunken disorderlies and a DUI, and has been missing for a few days. She also sends him a picture of Selena. Holland says her father has been hounding her for information but they haven't been able to find out much of anything. Bjorn tells Holland that he's still trying to figure out if this is one of their cases, but he'll let her know if he needs any information or assistance. Bjorn sends Selena's picture and information to the group chat.

Henry, still at school, decides to try and do some research on the mental weirdness Sammie reported to have found in Oliver's mind. He goes online to search through his internet forums for information. He makes a post asking what kind of creature would or could cause an effect like this. Someone replies and says that they don't know the creature, but the experience sounds exactly like when they were hypnotized to do something. Henry passes along this information to the group chat as well, saying what Oliver experienced sounds like hypnotism.

Sammie gives chase to the man she saw disappear into the alley. She doesn't spot him immediately, but hears a noise above her. The man is running up the fire escape on the side of a building, however with no ladder or stairs extended downward, she can't tell how he got up there in the first place. She uses magic to make herself stronger and jumps up onto the stairs. The man looks surprised and then continues running. When Sammie reaches the roof, she sees the man eyeing the gap between this building and the one next to it. Sammie runs toward him and the man jumps to the next building. He jumps much farther than a normal human could, landing on the middle of the next roof over, and continues to flee.

Sammie, once again, strengthens herself with magic and jumps across the rooftops behind the man. The man looks over his shoulder and looks shocked to see her chasing him. He stops to catch his breath and allows her to catch up to him. Sammie, also out of breath, asks him what he's doing watching the club. The man doesn't answer, asking why Sammie's following him. Sammie says it's because he was looking suspicious at the scene of a disappearance. The man seems to be distracted, running his hands through his hair, distressed about a girl going missing. He then turns his attention back to Sammie and asks her how she can jump like she can, Sammie asks how he can jump so far, and he says that he has his own reasons. Sammie brings the conversation back to the missing girl and asks him if he has anything to do with it. The man asks why he should tell her anything and Sammie flips out her fake FBI badge.

The man gives her an appraising look and says he didn't know the FBI had 'whatever she is.' He looks around, trying to plot an escape route, and then tells her he had nothing to do with the missing person, he just heard something was going on and wanted to look into it. He tells her that clearly she is something similar to what he is and that he doesn't want any trouble and to go on his way. Sammie presses him for more information but he doesn't want to answer. Finally, he says he'll tell Sammie what she wants to know if she tells him what she is, so he can make sure that she's not trying to kill him. Sammie crosses her arms and huffs before admitting she's a witch child.

The man seems appeased by this answer and then says that he's looking for someone. Sammie points out they could be looking for the same 'someone' and describes the man she saw in the dark silver colored car, that she couldn't see his face but just his hand covered in rings. The man goes pale and admits it's the same person. The man starts to nervously turn a large, bulky ring on his own hand. Sammie asks for a truce and holds a hand out to shake his. He doesn't take it at first, asking Sammie again if she's going to try and kill him. She assures him he's not. He asks about the man she was with down below, Oliver. And Sammie says he definitely won't kill him. The man agrees to a truce and shakes her hand. Sammie realizes his hand is oddly cold.

The man drops down onto the street to 'get out of the sun' and Sammie hears a startled cry from Oliver from the street below. She calls over that it's fine before dropping down to the street as well. She tells the man her name and Oliver's before asking for his. He introduces himself as Severin. Severin motions to the ice cream shop behind him and says he's starving before walking inside. Sammie and Oliver join him. Severin gets a bowl of ice cream before they all sit in a corner booth. Sammie asks him if he's going to tell her what he is and he says no. Sammie switches topics and asks him what he knows about the situation. Severin says that he's looking for a monster and corrects himself to man, the same man that Sammie saw in the car talking to both Oliver and the missing girl, Selena. Severin tells him that his name is Raul, he doesn't know a last name. He gestures for them to lean closer and Sammie and Oliver both do. Severin tells them that Raul is a vampire.

Sammie and Oliver both look surprised. Sammie tells Severin that Oliver had a run in with Raul and he seemed to mess with his head. Severin looks around to make sure no one is nearby and then looks at Oliver and blinks. When his eyes open again, they are fire-engine red. He blinks again and they return to a cool, blue-green. Severin nods and says he can tell Oliver has definitely been effected by Raul. Sammie explains that Raul seemed to have been driving around picking people up and Severin asks how long ago the last girl was taken. Sammie replies that it's been four days. Severin winces and says that the girl is definitely dead by now, unless Raul particularly liked her and decided to keep her around longer.

Severin continues that if she is dead, Raul will dump her somewhere near where he found her, which is why he was there and saw Sammie doing magic. Sammie asks how he knew she was doing magic and Severin's eyes flash red again for a moment as he tells her that he can see 'certain' things. Sammie and Severin agree that they need to find Raul and Severin adds that he's been looking for him for a long time. Sammie quickly texts Stanley, telling him to pull Henry out of school early. Henry receives a text from Stanley telling him he he has a 'dentist appointment' and to meet him outside. Sammie then texts the group chat one word - "vampire."
