Wren arrives at the Salem hospital and meets up with Corinne. Richard waits in the car to avoid a parking ticket. Corinne takes Wren to the morgue to examine the body of the victim, a woman named Andrea. Wren determines that Andrea was strangled to death with a garotte, but not by Jeremy. Andrea was sexually assaulted and has a black eye, injuries that are not consistent with Jeremy’s methods. Wren tells Corinne about Leroux’s imminent arrival and the two bodies in western Massachusetts.

Jeremy leads Charlie into the abandoned fairgrounds. The darkness makes her nervous, so she asks him for a flashlight. He takes out his flashlight but then suddenly strikes her in the face with it and pushes her down to the ground. Charlie, confused and in pain, reaches for her mace, but Jeremy has stolen it and sprays it in her face. He then drags her up and demands that she stay quiet or else he’ll kill her. She agrees. Jeremy drags her through the fairgrounds toward a building with graffiti about living forever. He asks Charlie if she’d want to live forever, and she says no because she wouldn’t want to watch her loved ones die.
