Noah Harrington was a star athlete at Lancaster Academy.

But last week, he was brutally murdered here.

And sources close to the investigation say,

"What happened in these hallways was, by all accounts, unnatural."

Do not say a word in this meeting. I'll do the talking.

Sit and look contrite because you're contrite, yes?

- Very. - Okay, be more contrite.

Sooner we get this over with, sooner we'll be done with this school.

What? It's middle of the semester.

And your semester's over. We're leaving Savannah.

Before you ask why, I can list 1000 reasons,

but the only one that matters is because I said so.

Don't you think it'll look suspicious if I leave after Noah's death?

No, that's why we're gonna wait a few weeks.

Your little fling with that vampire is absolutely over.

You so much as mention her name, I'll take you both out myself.

Talia.

- What are you doing here? - I assume we're about to find out.

Good morning, everyone.

Detectives, this way please.

Mrs. Fairmont.

Mrs. Burns.

Please.

Have a seat.

This angle shows Ms. Fairmont

and Ms. Burns in the hallway moments before Mr. Harrington was murdered.

Are you assuming my daughter did something?

Preposterous. I don't even know what I'm looking at.

Is that better?

We have questions.

Well, Juliette won't be answering any of them until her father is present.

- Sure you know him. - Ms. Fairmont. No one is under arrest.

Why am I feeling interrogated?

We wanna know if anyone saw or heard anything useful.

You have no idea who killed that boy.

What we know is Noah Harrington's spine was ripped from his body. And your girls...

Based on this footage, you obviously have no idea.

What is this, amateur hour? What is your badge number?

Mom.

Stop.

I heard screams.

I thought I could help.

When I got there, it was too late.

And you, Calliope?

What did you see or hear in that hallway?

Nothing.

Because I wasn't there.

- Mouth shut. - Not a word.

No way they believe we had something to do...

What part of "mouth shut" was unclear?

And just in case you need to be reminded, you are not to speak another word,

share another glance, take another breath in the direction of Juliette. You hear me?

I tried to let Noah in, but Mr. Porter stopped me

and now he's dead.

I didn't even get to say goodbye.

- You dropped your ring. - Thanks.

Wait in the car.

You too, Juliette.

- I'm done. - As am I.

Why can't you keep your child away from mine?

- Young love's a powerful thing. - Calliope's not in love.

- She's hooked like some kind of junkie. - Talia.

You're right.

We have issues.

Family issues.

Until our families can come to an agreement we can live or die with...

Yeah, agreed.

- Any suggestions for a location? Hmm. - My husband's office.

Public enough to be safe, private enough to...

Prevent everyone from knowing their DA's a bloodsucker.

- Sure. - Mm-hm.

Shall we say 1:00? And be a dear and leave those nasty spear guns at home.

Keep your fangs in your mouth, we won't have a problem.

Talia.

We will always have a problem.

I remember what it was like. Afraid to leave our homes,

- then we got rid of them and... - Yo, Theo, you seeing this?

These soccer moms are starting their own monster hunting crew.

What are they gonna do when they meet up with a zombie? Make it a meatloaf?

Plus, this makes me look bad to the Guild.

How am I gonna get promoted if I can't do what I came to do?

- Not everything is about you, bro. - Agree to disagree.

Dad said Cook's missing, but the Guild doesn't want us to look for him.

- Good. That guy was a dick. - They don't trust us anymore, Apollo.

We lost Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah.

We haven't done right by them. Or Tess.

- As long as Legacies are stan... - As long as they're standing,

we need to move smart, not fast.

Thanks to that vampire,

- your sister is now a murder suspect. - That's not true.

- Cal, sit. - Murder, huh? Wow.

I'm gonna shut up and listen.

Cal...

I've tried everything to convince you to stay away from that vamp.

I've forbidden you from seeing her.

I've explained the dangers to our family,

but you still won't stay away from her, which leads me to believe that you can't.

Mom, I will. Just don't make me move again.

Everything out of your mouth just proves my point.

Thank God your father's back.

Time for a severing.

We need to do it as a family.

The mayor and I are taking all necessary steps

to ensure the safety of our citizens.

I would just ask that people not make matters worse by panicking.

- I'll take a few questions. - Sir.

Are you going to reopen the Ashley Stanton case

to look for connections to Noah Harrington's murder?

I'm not. No reason to believe Ashley Stanton's death

was anything but a horrible accident.

Will you be implementing a monster task force?

I'm confident Savannah's law enforcement is capable of protecting our citizens.

How? What's your plan for protecting the city?

Two kids are dead.

That's a tragedy. Bunny, our kids are best friends.

You know that my daughter means everything to me.

- Her safety, the safety of... - Save our kids, kill those monsters.

Save our kids, kill those monsters!

Safety of all of our children is my number one priority.

Hey, hey, ho, ho, DA Fairmont's got to go!

Hey, hey, ho, ho, DA Fairmont's got to go!

Hey, hey, ho, ho, DA Fairmont's got to go!

- Hey, hey, ho, ho, - Thank you. Good afternoon.

DA Fairmont's got to go!

Hey, hey, ho, ho, DA Fairmont's got to go!

Well, that went well.

One day, I'm gonna eat that woman.

Hey, hey, ho, ho, DA Fairmont's got to go!

Dad, can we please not do this?

You were bitten by a Legacy. And we believe you're linked.

Severing is the only way to separate you.

I'm not linked to anything.

Theo, say something.

It'll be all right. It's just...

It's a ritual.

Kind of like a purification.

- This is crazy. I'm not doing it. - When a vampire bites a human,

it can create a psychic bond between them. A severing breaks the bond.

Baby girl...

please, sit and listen.

For me.

Hey. I underwent a severing after my mother was killed

to make sure I wasn't connected

- to the vampire who killed her. - The vampire who killed your mom

- bit you too? - We don't know for sure.

But he underwent a severing just to be safe.

Normally, it's performed under the Guild, but we can't get to them right now.

Your brother's been trained and he's gonna perform it.

I don't wanna be severed.

Their bites disappear, Cal.

Their blood paralyzes.

Who knows what is happening inside you?

Time to make sure you're no longer chained, baby sis.

Elinor, you're hovering.

I wanna talk about this ridiculous truce with the Burnses.

They tried to eradicate us. They nearly killed you.

I know. I was there.

Jack Burns put a spear through my Armani tux.

So how can you sit across a table from them?

- It's obscene. - I'm a politician.

- Obscene is 90% of the job. - Fair enough. But I can't promise

I won't fang out and drain one of those assholes.

And that is exactly why you are not invited.

You wanna help? Find Bunny Wheeler. Remind her that I'm not the enemy.

What a waste of my time.

On it.

We appreciate you finding the time to meet.

Every time we get together, a good time is had by all.

Oh, yeah, no argument here.

My husband impaling you is the highlight of my week.

Okay, let's just assume we're all exactly where we need to be.

Brass tacks. Twenty-five years of a monster-free Savannah

was good for us.

Actually, not monster-free.

You're Legacy vampires.

So we are.

We've existed for centuries because we hide in plain sight.

We live among humans better than they live among themselves.

Oh, you're impressive. Is that what you'd like to hear?

Brass tacks.

We're hunters.

Good ones. Last thing we need is hunters thinking we're soft

- because a raid went sideways. - Is that...?

We have no interest in that word traveling, either.

Monsters would think they're safe here

- and the more of them, the more of you. - More of us, huh?

Then we're on the same page. Which brings us back

to the elephant in the room. That high school incident was a shit show,

complete with video evidence of our daughters' involvement.

The memory card with the video from the school's camera

may have found its way into my hands.

Trust us with it.

Just a few hours, max.

Our son's a programming whiz.

He can make that video tell whatever story we need it to tell.

Without anyone realizing they aren't seeing what they thought they saw?

He's that good.

Huh.

Three hours.

And a commitment to keep Juliette away from Calliope.

Forever.

At a minimum.

We have a deal.

But we'll never forget the raid.

Neither will we.

To quiet in the town.

- Jack. - I'm right here.

We're all here, Cal.

Perfect.

Baby, it's gonna be fine.

I love you so much, Calliope.

I pray you can find your way to trust me, I know I'm doing what's best for you.

I'm scared.

The only thing to be scared of is what happens if we don't.

You don't want some fanger stuck in your brain and scrambling your eggs.

- Stop talking. - I'm just saying.

- Drink this. It's part sedative. - What's the other part?

Colloidal silver will enter your body through this tube,

counteract Juliette's venom.

Venom?

Legacies release venom when they bite, it's part of their binding process.

Since I've been severed, I have antibodies.

- They'll speed your recovery. - Will you be okay?

Big brother's always okay.

Ready?

Intra lux, tenebras relego.

It feels really warm.

Relax into it.

Darkness to light, tarnished to purity.

Puriati Studentibus.

Easy. Easy.

- I feel really weird. - It's okay.

It's okay.

Hang in there, Cal. You're doing great.

Darkness to light.

Tarnished to purity.

Puriati Studentibus.

Darkness to light.

Tarnished to purity.

Puriati Studentibus.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

- Therefore, we entreat... - Theo.

Theo!

Theo!

Mom?

Good day.

Who's the best?

Mommy.

I loved this book when I was little.

Me too. I was convinced the world was full of places to hide.

Behind every wall was a paradise.

- Lie back. - You're pushy, you know that?

Whenever I wanna get away, I lay here and imagine I'm somewhere else.

Where?

I don't know.

I always wanna be wherever I am.

Paris.

And Alaska. And Tokyo.

I know my family's there for a purpose. And as long as we're successful,

I'm happy.

The way you're confident...

about... who you are

and what your life is supposed to be,

I love that about you.

- I just wish... - I have to tell you something.

I'm listening.

This thing... between us...

it's over.

You don't wanna be with me?

I had to choose between you and my family.

I choose my family.

What about us?

Cal, I mean...

Maybe while you're here in Savannah, we're supposed to make you happy.

We're not supposed to be, Jules. That's the whole point.

Theo performed a ritual to... sever this hold you have on me.

Then why are you in my dream?

Where did you get those?

I thought they were from you.

Huh. Must be from Mother.

Now and then she does have taste. They're perfect for tonight.

- Tonight? - Out.

I'm suspended.

Exactly what gave me the idea.

No school tomorrow. Why waste the opportunity to have a good time?

You, dear sister, are in desperate need of an education.

You keep acting like being a Legacy is such a burden.

All inconvenient bloodlust and existential angst.

You haven't learned the important part.

- And what's that? - How fun it can be.

Be ready at 8:00.

- Where's Theo? - Went to lie down.

- Migraine? - Probably.

You okay?

Yeah. The severing was weird.

Like, at one point, it felt like I left my body.

Now that I'm back in it, I feel like crap.

- Could you get me some ice cream, please? - Can't. Busy.

- What are you all intense about? - These vigilante monster haters.

This is about to be a real shit show.

Not bigger than your mess at school, but still.

So you're catfishing bored, middle-aged hunter wannabes?

Yeah. If the Guild finds out that MAAM thinks

it could do our job better than we can, we've got a problem.

Can you please get me some ice cream? Come on, I told you I don't feel good.

Oh, my gosh.

- Do you want mint chocolate chip? - Please.

- We're out of mint. - Vanilla's fine.

I love you, but don't ask me for anything else.

Love you.

I'm in. They let me in the group.

The woman on the homepage is Bunny Wheeler, her son's in my class.

Questionnaire asked what's your favorite libation, I typed in hers. Rosé on ice.

Well, ladies, Apollo Burns is about to rock your rosé-drinking world.

- You're welcome. - Yeah.

Good morning.

Good morning, Benny.

- What do you think, son? - That idea should not be bedazzled.

I would rent a plane and write it in the sky if I could afford to.

Your first love was murdered by one of those things.

Think you'd be with the program.

He wasn't my first love. We don't even know if monsters are really back.

They're back. The lamestream media just won't cover it.

Not all monsters were violent. You taught me that.

Seriously. What if you can't tell the difference between me and like a...

nice vampire girl, for instance.

You get this through your thick skull, Benjamin.

Monsters are nothing like us.

They feed off our bodies, our fear.

And the members of MAAM refused to be scared anymore.

Now, how's that Gwyneth Paltrow smoothie?

It's not for me.

Here you go.

Cheers.

Let's dance.

You're gonna have to stop feeling guilty for doing what you need to do to survive.

You're right. Mom and Dad go out and feed.

Now, let's see what your psycho brother has to say.

"I know this decision won't come easy because you're like me."

Okay, never.

"But you fell for a human. You have the right to be human too."

What is he talking about?

Oliver says his witch girlfriend can make me human.

Oh. Fun.

There are witches now?

Apparently.

What if it's my only chance to be normal?

Can I be big spoon?

I want things to go back to the way they were.

Back to when being a vampire wasn't all there was to me.

Well... let's think.

If you're not a vampire, then my mom's group won't be trying to hunt you down.

Yeah, MAAMs.

MAAMs.

I'm thinking she should back off of the rosé.

Oh, elephant in the room.

The other thing you get if you go human is the hot human.

You two are still a thing, right?

I think we're more than a thing.

So yes.

Blame Juliette.

She insisted upon dancing the night away.

One party animal in the family is enough.

No more nights out for your sister.

Juliette was supposed to be on restriction.

Duly noted. She's kind of a killjoy, anyway.

What's that?

It's customary for the new Keeper of the Malkia

to present the new Keeper-in-Waiting with a gift.

Also customary to present said gift at a coronation ceremony.

Which we can't have since you, your father, and I are the only ones

who know that your grandmother is... on vacation.

About that. What's the plan

when Grandmother isn't appearing at parties and Dad is still molting?

Your grandmother's absence is only a problem if we allow it to be.

What did you whisper to Dad before Grandmother saved him?

I told him where he goes, I go.

Sorry...

that you don't get to enjoy your moment in front of all the other Legacy families.

Darling, real power isn't about flaunting it

to prove to others that you have it.

Now...

Sometimes real power is a piece of impressive jewelry.

Since the only goal is real power.

Thank you, Mother. I won't disappoint you.

Ready?

Snow angel.

Tree hug. Thrust.

And drop, stake.

Well, that was titillating.

We just started teaching the stake part at my gym.

Who's next?

Okay, ladies, we'll have more Apollo later.

For now, we've got business to attend to.

I've got it. Y'all have serious work here.

What are you doing here?

I'm on assignment, but apparently, so are you.

Exactly.

So if you could just step aside.

Ah. We were about to plan a trip to your father's office

and a couple of these ladies have guns.

I'm not saying you can't take them out before they take you out.

But if the goal is to prove there are no monsters in Savannah,

kind of hard for a roomful of MAAMs to suddenly be found dead.

You know I could get past you if I wanted to.

Yeah, maybe.

But without a plan, I'm not thinking you want to.

Apollo, who's at the door?

Until we meet again.

Grubhub.

Wrong address.

Fights and climbs.

Impressive.

How did you hear me?

I didn't. But I knew you were here.

Um... You have to invite me in.

You can come in.

- If I don't go down, he'll come up. - I'd better go.

No. Stay. I don't want you to go.

I won't be gone long. Okay?

Okay.

- Hey. - Hey, I need to talk to you.

What's up?

What? What's wrong?

Uh...

This is gonna sound weird, but during the severing, did you

see any flashes of my childhood?

Your childhood?

No, how could I see your past?

While we were connected, I kind of got rocked by a vision from my childhood.

- Thought you said it wouldn't affect you. - I know.

That's what makes it so weird.

Now I'm having dreams too.

About what?

My mom's murder.

They're so real. It's like I'm back there and I can see.

I can see her holding my hand.

And I could smell the grass.

And I could see bite marks on her neck.

They disappear, Cal.

A vampire bit my mom, and the bite marks disappeared.

And I remember squinting so that must mean that it was daylight.

No. No.

- No. - Yes.

If my mom was killed by a day-walking vampire, it was a Legacy.

You know how rare Legacies are, what if it's one of the ones here?

No, I'm sure it wasn't.

That's too coincidental.

But I'm really sorry.

- I hate that you're having these dreams. - Cal?

- I was looking for you in your bedroom. - Why were you looking for me there?

I'm here with Theo.

I can see that now.

Your brother said you wanted some ice cream, I was gonna get you some.

- Unless you wanna come. - No.

Thanks, Daddy.

Just bring me back some? Mint chocolate chip?

Got it.

- Hey. - You're still here?

I heard someone coming down, I jumped in the closet.

I'm just glad you didn't leave.

Sorry I took so long.

It's okay.

I actually had some time to think while I was in there...

and I just want to live my life.

I'm not really even sure what that means for me, but...

I know that I wanna figure it out for myself.

- What? - Nothing.

Nothing, I mean...

I love the way you're talking about your life.

Like it's your life.

Just makes me feel like I'm supposed to be with you.

I'm supposed to be with you too.

How are we ever going to just... be?

You know, if we really only have a little time left... I don't wanna sneak around.

Always worried about our families killing each other.

We've faced everyone.

Monster and human have tried to come between us.

Life is all about connections.

We got this.

If you nurture them, they get stronger.

But sometimes, severing connections is the only way for you to get stronger.

The only way to freedom.

We were just here for Ashley's memorial. Now my Noah is gone too.

Noah was an athlete,

a wicked chess player, and a really good friend.

Noah showed up late to my family's dinner, so he could wish his buddy a happy...

holiday.

I remember running out and buying Ben ear pods,
