Are you aware that a body was found near Triplet Park?

Am I aware? It's all anyone's talking about.

Are you not on TikTok?

There's an entire hashtag, "tripletmassacre," which, come on,

one body does not a massacre make.

A few nights ago, police broke up a party at the same location.

See anything suspicious?

Noah and I were uber focused on each other.

Um, but, yes, now that I think of it, a few people were acting sus.

It was a gathering. A meetup with friends.

And why, exactly, were you there?

For the beer?

Shit. Um, do I need a lawyer now?

It wasn't my idea.

We found them.

- They suggested the bonfire. - Tell me their names again.

Noah Harrington and Phillipa Calhoun.

It's Lancaster's cute, little "it couple."

- And what time did you leave the party? - I'm sorry, am I being questioned?

- We're having a chat. - It was Juliette Fairmont.

She was hooking up with the new girl. I went to take a piss and I saw that.

Wait, don't write that. Uh, makes me sound like a creeper.

I'm an All-League, All-State basketball and track star who holds the school record

for the 100 and the 200.

Hooking up is not an issue for me, but I don't kiss and tell.

It's tacky.

Where I come from, police can't question a minor without an adult present.

But maybe the laws are different in Savannah.

I've got an AP English exam I'm late for.

Of course.

So you know, I don't think you had anything to do with the body we found.

The victim was exsanguinated.

- That means the body... - Was completely drained of blood.

I know what exsanguinated means.

You know he was killed by a vampire.

Or someone suffering from Clinical Vampirism.

- An obsession with drinking blood. - Good luck on your exam.

♪ Murder me ♪

- You saying I can't take my own kid? - You can.

All you'd have to do is sign here.

- I ain't signing nothing. - Seriously, Dad? What the hell!

Get your things, pipsy, I'm taking you out of this school for good!

They can't keep our kids safe.

The M.A.A.M.'s can!

We're taking back our schools and we're taking back our city.

The police won't do it? We will!

No more vamps, no more ghouls.

No more monsters in our schools!

No more vamps, no more ghouls,

- no more monsters in our schools. - How many of those have you had?

You look a little sweaty.

Oh. I'm sorry, you did not get Olivia Benson-ed for the last hour.

Y'all follow me on Facebook.

We're just getting started.

- Okay, you need to talk to Bunny. - I thought it was a phase.

She's making things dangerous.

Ben?

Ben! Ben!

Yes, yeah, I'll talk to her.

Because I'm an amazing ally and I love you.

I love you too.

Is it just me or is Mr. Myer extra annoying

for assigning group projects? I mean, read the room.

That detective told me they're looking for a vampire.

- What are you doing? - Calling my dad.

I don't think the cops are worried about justice.

Not with "Mothers Against All Monsters" calling for heads to roll.

If they find out I killed Cook...

Come home with me. My parents will know how to protect you.

You want me to show up to the Hunter family dinner,

tell them I'm wanted by the police, and, "Oh, can you please pass the salad?"

First of all, there's no salad.

My dad's cooking, not a single green on the table.

Okay, this is a fantasy, Cal.

- We don't have that kind of relationship. - Hey, listen to me.

I'm not doing any more severings.

Who cares if they think it worked? We're together.

Do you honestly think they're going to accept that?

To accept me?

It's time to find out.

Oh, you back to trying to create your own comic?

"Theo Man." Wasn't that it, Theo Man?

One, I was 12.

And two, I came down here for some alone time, so...

Okay, somebody didn't have their protein shake today.

What the hell?

Sit down.

And shut up.

I thought only Mom and Dad could open that door.

I really just need you to ride with me, okay?

Paolo, my friend. Everything all right?

When there is no darkness, everything is all right.

I'm sorry, I hate to bust up the reunion.

When did you learn Spanish, and who the hell is this?

Paolo, with the Guild Archives.

He's here to help me with research on Legacies.

Research? Okay.

What's with the cases?

They're Faraday cases.

They block wireless transmissions and keep the devices from being tracked.

Since you're here, you might as well help.

Where have you been?

School.

- I thought you were done. - Get your room packed?

Not yet, but, uh, there's something I need to tell you.

I need you to be cool. All right?

Cal, what is it?

I brought someone home.

- Oh, hell, no. - Stop. I told her she'd be safe here!

Well, you lied.

Cal, get out the way.

Mom, she's in trouble, she needs our help, okay?

Girl, I forbid you from entering this home, you understand?

Dad... it's too late for that.

- Late? Like, don't... She's saying that... - She's been here before.

Obviously... this is a lot for you to process.

I'll give you a chance to let it settle.

Whenever you're ready to talk, we'll be in my room.

- Okay. Okay. I'm gonna kill her. - Oh, my...

- We don't know how, remember? - I meant Cal.

Coming in my house, talking about this vampire's been here before. When? Why?

Telling me to calm down, I am calm.

She didn't actually say, "Calm down."

She did say that the girl was in trouble. We could use that, right?

So let's think about this carefully.

Well, you're still alive.

It's only been two minutes.

Calliope Antigone Burns, you have crossed my absolute limit.

Closing a door when a girl's in your room? It's not how it works in my house.

The cops think a vampire killed that man they found.

- And you know something about that. - Yes, sir.

The body...

It's Clayton Cook.

Oh, my God.

And how could you possibly know that, Cal?

Because...

I...

I killed him.

Of course you did.

Cal, you get away from that monster.

No, she killed him to protect me.

I wouldn't be here if Juliette hadn't stopped him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did he hurt you?

- Touch you in any way... - No.

He threatened to take me to The Guild. So I ran.

He caught me.

I tried to fight him, but he got the upper hand.

All of my training went out the window.

I know how to fight monsters but not how to fight my own.

He never should have laid a hand on you and you know that.

None of this is your fault, you hear me?

If he wasn't dead, I'd kill the son of a bitch myself.

I owe Juliette my life.

We're not gonna let the police come for her.

Please help us?

Baby, now I'm grateful as hell that you're okay, but we can't do that.

We don't help vampires, ever.

However, we don't want to make her situation worse.

The police won't learn who or what she is from us.

Mom, what are you doing?

I'm making stakes. The stabbier the better.

I meant, what are you doing for self-care?

You time? This M.A.A.M. thing doesn't seem very healthy.

Protecting my family sure feels healthy to me.

You weren't here the last time they took over.

Schools, churches, everything was closed.

We lived behind locked doors, because if we went out,

we could get taken right off the streets.

Brutalized, eaten alive.

Not every monster is a murderous menace.

Some are mild-mannered, productive members of society

- who maybe drink a little blood. - Oh.

I am proud that I have raised a sweet, considerate, accepting boy.

But like I said, you weren't there.

What if I was a monster?

- Would you sic your M.A.A.M. folk on me? - No, Ben, of course not.

I'd take you out myself.

You understand?

Mm-hm.

A shelter-in-place order. Advising to stay calm and stay home.

Like a sitting duck? The hell I will.

I bet this is Fairmont's idea.

Well, I will show him what he can do with his order.

Clearly, the severing didn't work.

And it didn't work because Cal is with her of her own free will.

That's why I wanted her out. And I wanted her out immediately.

For a girl whose had a lifetime of, "Yes, baby girl,"

"Anything you want, baby girl," from her girl dad of a father,

heh, of course she's gonna take as long as she wants.

- You expecting someone? - No, but I'll get it.

I'll check on Cal.

You brought friends.

We know Clayton Cook was killed by a vampire.

- Why are you bringing silver to my house? - Because we know it was Cal's vampire.

- What is that? - I don't know.

We got to get out of here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

First, Cal doesn't have a vampire, so you won't find one here.

Wherever Cal goes, the Legacy follows.

We're friends, Jack, but you're making it really hard to support you.

My word should be enough.

Please.

Let us look around.

You have nothing to lose but the Guild's trust if you don't.

Not exactly ride or die, Jo.

Cops only confirmed that Cook's body was drained.

Kind of a big leap to accuse us of harboring a vampire.

So don't state your theory, your hunch, as fact, then watch my pupils.

We were trained by the same Guild, remember?

Where's Cal?

Why don't you tell me, JoJo?

You're the one keeping close tabs on my family.

Good evening.

I'm Arch McQueen, and this pile of dust was a vampire,

which I summarily dispatched.

How did I do it?

I call this bad girl Saturday Night Fever.

Mmm.

This dipshit is so full of himself.

Glad we don't have anyone like that in our family.

I'm confident in my abilities with evidence I should be. Big difference.

What was that?

Theo?

I asked a question, what was that look?

You just need to focus, Apollo.

- You all right? - I will be,

once I figure out which Legacy killed my mother.

Whoa! You almost left the transmission back there.

Apollo would kill me if he knew I stole his car.

- I thought we were borrowing it. - We can't go back to my house.

The city's crawling with vigilante housewives,

and no offense, but your house is full of monsters.

So the only plan I've got is to drive to get out of town.

And go where?

I think we need help figuring that out.

♪ I couldn't move ♪

My favorite sister.

You finally ready to leave that bullshit life?

Not exactly.

I'm not even sure I want to be human.

- I wouldn't be any better off. - You wouldn't.

Look, I'm not trying to be an asshole, Jules, but I hate lies.

I hate liars.

Humans are like mades,

but only on this Earth because it's their time to be.

Oliver, Cal and I need somewhere to hide.

And, no, I'm still not helping you hurt Elinor.

But you're my brother and I need your help.

Come on over.

I'm here whenever you need me. I told you that.

Juliette's coming around?

My little sister's finally seeing the light.

♪ Open in love ♪

♪ In your eyes I see ♪

♪ My sweet demise My sweet demise ♪

I snatched this off the hand of a Legacy.

Theo, check this out.

The symbol is unique to each bloodline. Like a dazzling, deadly calling card.

More like an ugly ring.

If I figure out which bloodline that symbol belongs to,

I can find the Legacy that killed my mother.

Theo, Apollo.

Hey, JoJo, what's up?

She's looking for vampires.

But suddenly, I'm much more interested in what's going on here.

Faraday cases?

And I assume you're hiding in plain sight, Mr. Villanueva.

How long have you and your husband been in the Guild?

- I'll take that. - Let me answer that.

Too long for you and your boys to be up to unsanctioned bullshit.

You like to tell me why your sons are hacking into the Guild Library?

- We weren't. - You're stressing out

our whole family with your paranoid, finger-pointing show.

You have five minutes to get the hacker out of your house before I report you.

You have no idea what you've done.

Okay, left at the next light.

Sure this is a good idea?

Only met your brother once, but he gave off serious unstable vibes.

Yeah, he's a little nutty, but he's been through a lot.

I don't really even know the whole story.

What is that?

No, no, no.

Okay, chill.

There's a shelter-in-place in order.

- Your dad know you're out here? - Cal's just taking me home.

Good, you'll be safer there.

Hold up.

We got to test everyone.

Real silver. Cool.

Can never be too careful, right?

Hey!

Watch it.

Sorry, this is my brother's car. I'm learning how to drive stick.

But we better get going.

Where do you got to get going to? What are you hiding?

That she's a monster.

I'm taking her to meet my family. I want to see their shocked faces.

That's funny.

A joke only the DA's daughter can make while the town's got a real threat.

Yeah, we're all jokesters, the whole family.

Why don't I escort you home? Tell your dad how you kept me in stitches?

- You don't have to do that. - Sure I do.

I need to know since when we started lying to each other.

Mom, please do not put me in the middle of this.

Fine. Here's your brother.

You breached the security door, Theo?

I'm not even sure what to say.

We can get through anything.

Anything...

as long as we don't lie to each other.

Since the day you were born, I told you that...

- You weren't there the day I was born. - Theo.

She wasn't.

I am in this by myself.

I still don't know what killed my mother, and nobody in this house cares to know.

I misspoke.

- She didn't mean it and you know it. - No, it's okay.

Your brother has to deal with this the way he needs to.

Can you just leave me alone?

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

Okay.

I can do that.

Come here.

I can do that. Here.

Now...

I don't mean to be insensitive...

but what you did today, it doesn't just go away.

Come on, Apollo.

I didn't know you were feeling this way.

Or that you didn't think you could talk to me about it.

After the severing, I started having visions of my mother.

So I started searching the archives and I still don't know.

We're gonna find whatever did this to your mother and destroy it.

I got you, bro.

I think I know someone who can tell us about this symbol.

Officer Garvey.

Making sure these two got where they're going.

- Thanks, I was getting worried. - Figured as much.

You two, stay inside, stay safe.

I think I found our monster.

Elinor Fairmont.

Yo, it was complicated.

- We got a vibe going. - She won't give up information to us.

With that attitude, all you'll get in that bar is a beer.

I'm supposed to trust the plan of the dude who brought a Summoner into the house?

One day, you'll let that go, see who I'm trying to be,

instead of focusing on the mistake I made.

All right, let's go.

But she gives us a name, or she gets a stake in her heart.

It might not kill her, but I'll enjoy watching the pain.

I'm gonna make an executive decision. You stay here, I'll go in.

- No. No way, no. - You don't know Elinor like I do.

She's complicated, smart, sexy. We're actually a lot alike.

Here we go.

Look, all I'm saying is, I get her.

And if you trust me, I mean, really trust me,

let me do my thing. I'll get what we want.

All right.

I don't want to be here any more than you want me here.

Juliette, what possessed you to bring her into our home?

We'll go, as soon as the overly helpful officer leaves.

You are staying home. The police force is combing the streets.

They know that a vampire killed that guy.

We don't bury bodies. We're smarter than that.

It wasn't Cal's idea.

Please, don't tell me that that ridiculously asinine idea was yours.

- It was. - Well, it's dumb.

- Margot... - What?

Wow, you're awful.

Whoa.

Looks like I'm in time for déjà vu.

What are you doing here?

I'm supposed to wait to be invited in?

Don't be ridiculous.

Oliver, so sorry. I was on my way.

It's okay, I assumed.

You guys didn't show up, so I thought I'd better come and rescue you.

Help me understand why you were going to Oliver's.

She called me. She asked for my help.

Come on, Jules.

Invite yourself out.

Or what? You're gonna excommunicate me? You already played that card, Bash.

- Are they about to throw down? - Yup.

Stop it, both of you.

Relax, Dad just wants to roughhouse a little.

Didn't think you had it in you.

You don't want to play temptress to what I have in me now.

Grandmother made you a ghoul?

Oh, you always wanted that, but I can't believe she agreed to it.

Wow, Kim must have really puked when she went inside you.

Elinor's gonna be so disappointed if she's not here to see you kill me.

Let him go, sweetheart.

You still on that lie, huh?

At the point you take responsibility for your behavior, we can talk.

Until then, get out.

Tell Jules she knows where to find me.

And I know where to find you.

Bring her out.

Bring her out. Bring her out.

Bring her out. Bring her out.

Bring her out. Bring her out. Bring her out.

Bring her out. Bring her out.

- Bunny, what the hell are you doing? - I told you, I'm keeping you safe.

You're being a bigoted monster-phobe. That's not gonna keep me safe.

That's not gonna keep anybody in this town safe!

You know who it is.

Do you hear yourself? You're accusing your son?

You knew there was a vampire at your school and you never told me.

Because she's a good person.

So it is her. I knew it.

Anyone named Calliope would have to be a vampire.

I'll turn myself in.

It's the only way to fix this.

Stop.

Just wish I could go back.

Rewind this to the beginning.

To our first kiss.

We still would have ended up right here.

Bring her out.

Bring her out. Bring her out.

If you're looking for your mom, she's on the lawn out front.

I know. I just tried talking to her, but I don't even know, I...

- I just can't believe it. - She's making everything so much worse.

I know that.

She's my mom and I don't even recognize her.

- Can't even be in the same house anymore. - Maybe you can live here.

I already called my dad.

He saw Bunny on the news and he wants me to come stay with him.

Threatened to take her to court if she didn't let me go.

- This is crazy. You can't go. - It's crazy if you stay.

- They're putting up monster checkpoints. - We know.

- With silver tests and everything. - Oh, my God.

- Maybe you should come with me. - They'll just find me there.

No one's looking for you.

Those women are literally yelling, "Bring out the monster."

Yeah, but the monster they want is you.

I'm sorry to bother you at this hour,

but, uh, Bunny Wheeler and her Desperate Housewives are ruining my lawn.

Lights and sirens ought to do it.

Thing is, I'm off duty.

Hello, Sebastian.

- Bernice? - You know it, Bash.

Bunny, just a few weeks ago, I was grilling salmon that I had caught

and sweet corn that you had grown on that massive pit that Margot decided

I had to have last Father's Day.

Maybe all we need to do is sit down and share a meal to remember

who we really are.

I'll tell you who we are.

My husband will make a call and you are going to be arrested

for terrorist threats against the DA

because law and order still matter in this town.

My mama always told me to put on clean drawers every day

'cause you never know what might happen.

Well, I guess today what happens is, I'm going to jail.

You cannot eat her.

Call the chief and tell her to get that crazy woman off my lawn.

Fine.

But I liked my way better.

Here on East River Street.

As you can see behind me, traffic has now been backed up for miles.

That congestion is partially due to the fact that police

have now set up monster checkpoints.

My commute to work tomorrow will be a breeze.

You could always take a sick day.

Call in with "monster fever."

that I'll pass.

Then I suppose, they'll round up my family, search my house.

- Do you know what they'll find? - Mismatched furniture?

Weapons.

Silver.

And the plans to attack every Legacy vampire at your party.

How long do you think it'll take them to break down your door?

When this falls on me and my family, it falls on all of us.

Yeah. That's part of the job.

"Whoever fights monsters

should see to it that he doesn't become a monster."

Friedrich Nietzsche said that.

I know, but just hearing you say it...

Well, it doesn't matter. We still don't know how to kill Legacies.

it's possible that your actions make you a monster too.

I'll call Theo. He'll know what to do.
