## Summary

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Oliver go to the holding cell to talk to the wife of the man that was killed. Bjorn asks her to tell them what happened. The woman says it was after midnight. She says her husband was out somewhere. She was inisde the house the whole time. When he got home, she heard him get out of the car she heard a huge crash. She ran outside and found him crushed between the car and garage door.

Bjorn points out that she doesn't seem exactly upset that her husband is dead and she replies that she knew her husband was cheating on her and isn't unhappy that he's gone. She also explains that when she came outside, the car was still running and then turned itself off even though no one was inside. Sammie asks if there is anyone else that would want to hurt her husband, maybe someone else involved in the affair. The woman says that she doesn't think the woman her husband was cheating on her with, Ali, was with anyone else. She says her husband and Ali worked together down at the water treatment plant.

The woman tells them it wasn't her and that she didn't notice anything strange other than the car turning itself off, that they should check her car and see if there are any weird defects. The crew heads over to the evidence garage. They find a sedan, the hood of which is covered in blood, and start to examine it. The car appears perfectly normal other than the blood and damage to the front. Henry gets in the car and briefly turns it on. It runs normally except that the 'check engine' light pops on. He turns it off again.

Sammie pops the hood to take a look at the engine and soon notices a concentration of green, Rift energy that seems to be traveling around within the engine. She can tell that whatever is in the engine has noticed that she's seen it. Sammie tells everyone to back away from the car and tells them what she's seen. The car's engine turns on. Bjorn shouts at everyone to get behind something solid. Sammie throws up a shield in front of them, but the car doesn't go for them. It slowly starts to leave the garage and through the parking lot toward the exit. Bjorn and the crew run to catch up with it. Bjorn runs ahead of it to block the exit. The car turns around and heads toward the other exit. Sammie blocks the other exit. The car stops in front of her and then begins to rev its engine. Bjorn runs over to help.

Sammie puts up a force wall to keep the car contained. The car slams into the wall and Sammie manages to hold it back. Henry runs over to slash the back tires. He slashes one, but the back door opens and clocks him in the face. Sammie starts to struggle to hold the car back. Oliver runs up to try and slash another tire. Bjorn ices the remaining two tires that are intact so they can't move. Just then, an older man arrives on scene and begins to record them with his phone. Henry snatches the phone from the man's hands and he begins to shout for the police.

The car stops revving its engine. It's still running with its lights on but seems to stop trying to escape. Sammie tries to pull the Rift energy from the engine, but something goes wrong. Her nose begins to bleed and her head explodes with a migraine. She falls to her knees and sees green energy rise out of the engine and float above the car. The car alarms begin to go off and the green energy escapes into the police station. Onlookers begin to crowd onto the scene as well as several police officers from inside the station.

Henry, who's snatched the man's phone, tries to delete the video footage but the man is insistent that it's illegal for Henry to take his phone. Bjorn steps in and pulls out his badge. He tells him he took footage without permission and they're allowed to remove it. Henry deletes the video from the man's phone while Bjorn defuses the situation. A cop steps in and tells the man that he'll take his phone for now and he can get it back after he files an official complaint inside. Henry hands the phone over and the cop takes it before leading the man inside the station.

Sammie is on her knees with blood pouring from her nose. Oliver is kneeling down beside her, making sure she's okay. He pulls some tissues from his jacket to give to her and Sammie says the energy that was in the car went into the police station. Oliver passes this on to Bjorn and Henry. It becomes clear that Sammie is the only one who saw the green energy floating above the car. They all head into the station to try and figure out where it went.

As Sammie walks into the station, she can see the energy darting through the space, seeming like it's looking for something. She realizes this must be a creature that possesses objects. She tracks it down to a specific office and puts her hand on the doorknob before Holland quickly stops her. Holland tells her she can't go in there because it's her boss's office - Chief Hanson. Sammie tells Holland that a creature is inside and Bjorn says he'll take care of it. Holland nervously agrees.

Bjorn knocks on the door. It's not too long before it swings open and Chief Hanson is standing in front of them. The Chief asks what's going on and Bjorn says he's there to introduce himself as the 'fed' that's been working with Holland. He asks if he and his team can come inside and Chief Hanson agrees. He tells Holland to go stop the yelling coming from the lobby and she quickly leaves. As they are about to step into the office, the Chief notices that Sammie's nose is bleeding. He says that he can take her to Judson for some medical attention, grabs her by the arm, and leads her out.

Sammie gets a last look at the office and sees the green energy concentrated around the Chief's computer. She gives the crew a hint as the Chief leads her off. Henry goes and sits down at the computer. He wiggles the mouse to wake it up and the screen goes completely white. Then, text appears that says, "You have made a mistake."
