Isaiah watches a traumatized Bryce through a one-way mirror in the 33rd’s holding center, recalling how Hunt stapled her torn thigh in the alley and then hunted the attacker. Reviewing her thin file, he tells Hunt the Pack of Devils and Danika are dead. Hunt found no demonic trace. Isaiah notes Naomi has arrested Philip Briggs and that the murders are being kept quiet for now.

Sabine Fendyr storms in, vowing to kill Bryce and claiming Danika’s family sword is missing. Isaiah and Hunt block her. Viktoria arrives to interview Bryce, while Isaiah reflects on the rebels’ halos and their bound power. Viktoria confirms Bryce’s heavy intoxication.

Viktoria reads Bryce’s phone messages with Danika and plays hallway audio of the attack. Danika’s prolonged screams send Hunt charging into the room as Bryce erupts, flipping the table, smashing a chair, then vomiting and collapsing. Hunt kneels beside her, and Isaiah explains she can’t return home to the active crime scene.

Naomi calls Isaiah: release Bryce immediately due to Ruhn Danaan asserting Fae jurisdiction. Bryce leaves. Ruhn arrives moments later, declares Bryce his cousin, trades barbs with Hunt, and demands Briggs. He warns them to stay away from Bryce and departs to find her.

Isaiah and Hunt confirm a three-day tracker in Bryce’s intake water. They assess that Danika, powerful even pre-Drop, died begging; the demon leaves no trace and may have vanished back to Hel. Isaiah readies patrols for potential pattern attacks, and Hunt prepares to eliminate the threat while Isaiah advises that Bryce lie low.
