## Summary

Miguel is upset that they've brought another person to the Fort. Sammie explains it's because they tried to mind wipe her but it seems she has some kind of curse on her that prevents that from happening. She asks Elise if she can try it again to show them and Miguel takes them to the med bay to look over her. On the way to the med bay, Bjorn catches Stanley up to speed on what happened. Henry holds up the bag he has the body of the Dream Weaver in to show Stanley who then passes it off to Miguel for examination.

Stanley and Bjorn discuss Oliver. Bjorn says he didn't feel right mind wiping him, while Stanley counters that he's dangerous with the knowledge that he has. Sammie adds in that he had magical points of energy on his body, probably to protect himself. Miguel is interested in the case that he had and they provide as much details as he can. Miguel agrees it must have to do with how he disappeared before.

After some debate, Miguel and Sammie agree that the best course of action to find out what Oliver did to Elise is for Sammie to look through Elise's memories. Sammie looks through Elise's memories and sees her at the coffee shop. She goes on her lunch break and walks outside to see a familiar man, Oliver, across the street on a bench. She sits beside him and chats with him. Suddenly she finds herself talking about Sammie before she snaps herself out of it, apologizes, and then turns to see Henry. The only time Oliver touched Elise was when he was apparently fixing something on his shoe.

Sammie passes off all that she saw to Miguel. Miguel starts patting down Elise and finds a small, golden emblem on a coin in Elise's pocket. Miguel hands it to Sammie and asks if she recognizes it. Sammie doesn't recognize the coin, but does recognize the symbol. It's a dove - her mom's symbol. Miguel takes the coin back and asks if Sammie can look at it with her Third Eye. Sammie confirms it is a magical object. Miguel seems to get lost in looking at the coin as he turns it over in his hand. Sammie takes it from him to look at and also gets lost in it. Bjorn takes it and puts it down on the table. They all agree this seems to be what distracted Elise and then prevented her from being mind wiped.

Elise snatches the coin back up and holds it, saying she doesn't want to lose her memories of what happened. She asks Sammie if they can talk alone. Sammie nods and takes Elise out into the kitchen so that the rest of the group can talk amongst themselves. Bjorn thinks they should mind wipe Elise, Henry argues they shouldn't do it without Sammie's permission. Bjorn agrees they should consult Sammie. Miguel calls out Stanley, who can't make eye contact with anyone. Stanley admits he thinks they should let Elise keep her memories because it seems like Sammie needs a friend right now.

Sammie and Elise talk in the kitchen while Sammie makes sandwiches. Sammie tries to tell Elise that her life will be on the line if she tells Elise the truth. Elise says she doesn't care, that she's her best friend and she wants to know. Sammie tells Elise about some of the monsters she's faced, trying to emphasize how deadly and scary the monsters are that they're facing. Elise emphasizes that she doesn't want to get involved with the monster-side of things, she wants to make sure Sammie is okay. She wants her to not lose touch with the 'normal' side of her life and take a break from the 'terrifying' side.

Sammie tells Elise about what she saw in the country club, watching Elise die. Sammie says that she can't lose her. Elise admits that sounds scary, but it's not real. That she's here and she doesn't want to lose her memories, she wants to help Sammie and still be her friend.

Back in the med bay, Bjorn agrees with Stanley. He says if they let her keep her memories, they'll need to make sure Elise knows what she is and, more importantly, isn't allowed to share. Henry suggests they need to keep tabs on Elise to make sure nothing happens to her. Sammie and Elise walk back into the med bay. Sammie announces that the only thing Elise knows about is her and she'd like to keep it that way. Miguel gives Elise a charm bracelet with an Eye of Horus charm on it. Miguel tells her that it's a tracking bracelet and that they'll know where she is at all times if she's ever in trouble. Elise puts it on and a golden energy glows from it for a moment. Henry also puts a tracking app on her phone for good measure.

Sammie then gets a text from Oliver, asking her to meet. They're all suspicious of Oliver and toss around some ideas on how to meet up with him and keep tabs on everything. They decide to have Miguel view another place or time to keep tabs on the date location. Sammie texts Oliver to meet her at 6 P.M. Oliver sends her a picture of a fancy restaurant on East Thornvale. Sammie drops Elise off at her apartment and then starts to get ready for her 'date.'
