## Plot

The episode begins at a street near the Seventh Day Redemption Church, and Richard Aldana is walking across the street, looking at Dave McKenzie's phone, while a car has stopped at a red light. Inside the car is Tomie Katana, who is speaking on her cellphone, trying to explain why she can’t participate in a musical. Suddenly, Bernard, her paranoid and possessive boyfriend, snatches her phone away and tells her that he doesn’t want her to be involved in the musical because he believes it is really about pornography. Tomie tries to explain that it is really a musical set on the beach and it could’ve been her first real performance. Bernard claims that the musical is an excuse for the director to have sex with Tomie and accuses her of giving him fellatio to get the part, much to her frustration. Bernard starts to threaten to kill Tomie, her lover, and even himself if he finds she is cheating on him. Before he can threaten anyone else, Richard suddenly appears and throws Bernard out of the vehicle and drives his car. He calls the police to ask for reinforcements to go to Wellington Boarding School, before stopping abruptly to avoid crashing into a passing truck. Tomie tries to warn Richard that her boyfriend will kill him, but Richard says he will have to “take a number”. Immediately, Bernard manages to catch up to his car and threatens Richard with a firearm.

Ten minutes earlier, back at the church, Richard covers Dave's corpse with a jacket while his phone rings. Richard leaves the church and walks across the street where Tomie and Bernard's car is stopped. Richard sadly looks at Dave's ringing phone as Siri is trying to call him. Richard finally answers her call and tries to tell her that her father was killed, but Siri quickly tells him that the mysterious organization found her location, as Rizel and his men arrive at the school in a van. Rizel's men quickly kill a nearby security guard with their machine guns. Siri informs Richard of her location before Rizel uses his electric powers to create an electromagnetic pulse that deactivates the school’s power and her phone. Richard quickly contacts the Paxtown police, before locating the vehicle driven by Bernard and Tomie at the beginning of the episode.

Meanwhile, at the boarding school, Rizel and his men murder all security personnel and even the young boarders, before Rizel sits down to rest. Creating the electromagnetic pulse appeared to have taken a toll on his body, so his men inject him with a drug called "ACD-A" to improve his condition. Rizel orders his men to find Siri and the group of masked men split up. One of the masked men spots a young girl with blonde hair and shoots at her. The man takes a closer look at the girl's face before realizing she isn't Siri and continuing his search. Eventually, he finds Siri's room and discovers that she escaped through her window.

At the same time, Bernard forces Richard drive him and Tomie to an unknown location with a gun to his head. Strongly suspecting Richard of being Tomie's lover, and not believing Tomie's claim that she never met him for a single second, Bernard proves to be increasingly aggressive and threatening against the two people housed in his car. Richard tries to explain that he needs to save his friend's daughter, but Bernard doesn't care and threatens to kill him. Fed up, Richard climbs to the back seat and beats up Bernard in an attempt to disarm him, while Tomie takes the wheel to avoid an unfortunate traffic accident. Before Richard could punch him again, Bernard revealed a grenade and already pulled the pin and threatened to kill them all unless Aldana gets off of him.

Back at the school, Siri hides in the nearby woods to escape from the masked men. She places a battery into her cellphone and the noise it makes nearly gives away her position. Once the masked men turn around, Siri immediately calls Richard, buts ends up speaking to Bernard on the other end. Bernard thinks that Siri is Richard's girlfriend and says that Richard has been cheating with his girlfriend, while forcing Aldana and Tomie to dig a hole at a construction site. While he is distracted, Richard uses a shovel to disarm Bernard of his gun, but Bernard responds by kicking him in the arm, causing Richard to drop the shovel. Bernard hangs up the phone and threatens to kill them all again with his grenade. Tomie begs Bernard to drop the explosive in exchange for quitting her acting career, but he says she's only saying that because he has a grenade. Richard grapples with Bernard and makes him hit himself before headbutting him and calling him an idoit. Bernard says that Richard is an idiot because if he lets go of his hand, the grenade will drop and they'll both die. However, Bernard loses his footing and falls into a pit filled with cement. Unfortunately, Bernard dropped his grenade in the cement and dies when it finally explodes. Richard then borrows his car and goes after Siri, while Tomie contacts the director again to take over the role.

The search for Siri is temporarily interrupted by the arrival of a police patrol Richard called arriving at the entrance to the boarding school. Thinking she was safe, Siri ran blindly towards them, but could only watch as Rizel's bodyguard sniped the two officers. Unable to escape the sniper, Siri was finally be captured by Rizel's men. Afterwards, Richard finally arrived at the boarding school, only to find the police dead. Fortunately, Richard finds some of Bernard's grenades in the back seat of the car.

Finally face to face with Siri, Rizel reveals that he killed Dave and asks Siri in a demonic voice what is her name. Siri mouths the word "Chorum", which makes Rizel smile. At the same time, Rizel's sniper informs him that Richard is at the gate and begins shooting at him. Richard quickly takes cover in the police car and uses it to ram the gate, while the masked men shoot at the car. It is revealed that Richard, who wasn't in the car, used a police baton to make the car accelerate right into the room Rizel and Siri occupied. The crash caused the police car to explode and started a fire that consumed the room. Rizel continued chanting an incantation that causes him and Siri to levitate and their eyes glow. Richard entered the building and defeated Rizel's remaining guards before accidentally throwing a guard at Rizel, which causes his ritual to stop. Richard takes Siri and escapes the burning school through a window, but not before leaving one Bernard's grenades behind to kill Rizel. Richard and Siri quickly leave in Bernard's car.

As they drive off, Siri asks if Dave really died and Richard confirms it. Richard asks Siri if she has mother he can take her to, but Siri says that doesn't have a mother. The episode ends with Richard unsure how to handle the new situation that has just happened in his life since Dave's abduction and death.
