When the thorn stake cuts
a halfling, their blood bubbles.

If the prince or princess were
to procreate with a halfling

the child resulting from
such a union would undo

the original spells
creating the doorways.

Holy shit, it’s like
the apocalypse baby.

Our job, the Elites,

is not just to hunt down
the ancients.

We’re also given the duty
of hunting down the halflings.

As in killing them.

Why didn’t you tell me?

I didn’t think it would ever
come to this.

Well, it did come to this.
Like, right now.

We had no idea there
was a second gate.

We believed that there
was no chance of any

of the royal court
coming through.

- It was a non-issue.
- Guess what, Tink.

It’s not a non-issue.

It’s a huge,
Godzilla-sized issue.

I can see that now.

I never meant to lie to you.

If you don’t mean
to lie to someone,

you simply don’t lie to them.

I knooooooooow...

Did you know what I was
when you first saw me?

Yes, but I didn’t know
until you got near

and I sensed the weak
fae blood in you.

I should’ve told
you, Ivy-divy...

but I was afraid
you’d do something rash!

What could I have done?

You could’ve, I don’t know,
hurt yourself.

I wouldn’t hurt myself, Tink.

But you would try to leave.

You’re thinking about it now.

You’re forgetting two very
important things.

Come to think of it,
you’re forgetting a lot,

because you got
your head knocked.

You have to consent.

Sex. Consent to sex
with the prince.

As a halfling, that’s the only
way a child can be conceived.

No glamour.

No magic or compulsion.

- You have to actually...
- I know what consent means.

He can’t make you do it.

Well, he could,
and that’s just wrong,

but a child won’t be conceived.

Great, so he could
force himself on me

but hey, at least
there’s no apocalypse baby.

That’s not what I meant.

But there’s a bigger
problem, Ivy.

Worse than me being a...

Halfling?

You said the prince tasted
your blood, right?

Yeah.

Then there is nowhere you can
go that he cannot find you.

Come again?

He’ll be able to sense you.

It doesn’t matter if you
went to Zimbabwe.

I’m not even sure where Zimbabwe
is, but I just like

saying Zimbabwe,
but he’d find you.

When an ancient takes a part
of someone into them,

he is forever connected
to that person.

Do you know how to kill him?

You cut off his head.

But that’s not the most
important thing...

You cannot let anyone
know what you are.

What’s stopping the fae
from outing me?

Well, the prince won’t
want to risk that.

He won’t want to risk
the time it would take

to find another female halfling.

I guess that’s one good thing.

You can’t even tell Ren...

I know he’s an Elite, and
while I think that is as lame

of a name as the Order,
I have heard of them.

How have you heard of them?

I’m omnipresent.

I think you mean
omniscient, and...

You’re... you’re not
omniscient are you?

No.

I need to be able to trust you,
and I’m not sure I do right now.

I deserve that.

Many fae have fallen
to the Elite

before the gateways were closed.

Though I don’t think Ren
is smart or cool enough

for that level of badassery.

Ren is a total badass.

Whatever...
You cannot tell him.

It is his duty to end you.

You have to pull
it together, Ivy.

I think I’m owed a pity party
for the next couple minutes.

You need to let Ren go.

- Break up with him.
- No.

- Ivy...
- No.

End of discussion.

Fine.

I need to shower.

Thank Queen Mab.

I know you probably want
to slice and dice me, Ivy.

I’m sorry.

No, but I kind of want to flush
you down the toilet.

I’m not a goldfish.

You might not believe this,
but I didn’t stay with you

because of what you are...

I stayed
because I care about you.

I also stayed because
you have the magical

and wonderful Amazon Prime.

I need a snack.

Really?

Ren.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah.

You have sugar and crumbs
all over you.

I was, um, hungry and tired.

Did that ass save you
any of the Beignets?

One.

Mm. Looks like your chest
ate most of it.

Thanks.

What time is it?

A little after two.

The streets were dead.

There was no sign of the prince

or the warrior knights.

I don’t understand why they’d
be laying low like this.

They’re probably focused
on finding the halfling.

Did I hurt you?

No.

Did you see David tonight?

Only for a bit.

He said he’s trying to pull in
more members in from Georgia.

He asked about you.

Really?

Wants to know if you’re still
planning to come in.

I told him I thought you could
use a few more days.

Yeah, I don’t-I don’t know
if I’ll be... ready.

Well, I don’t want you on the
street until you’re

at a hundred percent.

You sure you’re okay?

Yeah, just tired.

I like you watching me.

Why are you clutching the
blanket like it’s going

to run away from you?

Oh...
I don’t know.

You’re weird tonight.

No, I’m not.

You moving like that is going
to drive me crazy.

Well, we could, you know,
do something about it.

Ivy, we’ve got to take things
easy for a little while.

Babe, I want nothing more than
to get between those legs,

but I’m not going to risk
hurting you.

Did David say anything
about Val?

Order members are out
looking for her.

David isn’t too keen on the fact
she’s probably shared

a shitload of secrets.

And I still want to kill her.

David’s not questioning
the whole

halfling shit anymore either.

You think Val is the halfling?

Yeah. It’s what I’ve been
thinking for some time.

Maybe a fae got to her
and found out.

Her parents are denying it.

I mean, who would
fess up to that?

Where are her parents now?

Don’t know.
Don’t really care.

What about that crystal
she took?

David doesn’t know what it is,
or he’s not saying.

I put some feelers out
to see if anyone

in the Elite has an idea.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Val! No!

Ivy.

Why?

I wish it hadn’t been you
that chased after me.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Okay. I guess I can
reregister for classes

in the spring.

Yeah, thanks for
letting me know. Bye.

Oh, so pretty. In the cart!

I can’t believe
I have to drop out.

- Jo Ann’s gonna kill me.
- It’s for the best.

If the prince can sense me, why
hasn’t he showed up here yet?

If I were the prince,
I’d be buying time.

Buying time for what?

He’s got to win you over...

if he wants to impregnate you.

Please don’t use the word
impregnate ever again.

Why? That’s what
he wants to do.

He’s probably trying
to learn how not to be

a sexed-up dickhead.

I saw the prince getting it on
with three females once.

He’s totes sexed up
and he’s a dickhead.

In other words, no humanity.

Like most fae.

Yeah, but the agents are worse.

He’s going to have
to work on wooing you.

Or he’s plotting something
major and any moment

he’s going to knock down
the door and storm the place.

Wow. That’s a relaxing thought.

Don’t worry.
I’m here to protect you.

Oh.

Mm...

Mm... hmm...

Mm...

Hey.

I didn’t want to wake you.

But you were making
these sounds.

I was?

These soft,
little, breathy moans.

I was?

I wouldn’t lie about something
that was so sexy.

Mm.

I want to kiss you.

You don’t need my permission.

Just assume it’s always granted.

But your lip.

My lips are fine.

Actually, they’re not.

They feel lonely and abandoned.

God damn.
You’re so sweet.

I want to touch you.

That’s another thing
you don’t need permission for.

Christ.

I can’t even...

I can’t either.

I’ll be right back.

Okay.

Hmm.

Hey, sweetness.
You’re okay? Did I...

I’m okay.

Promise.

- How’s your ribs?
- Fine.

They barely ached all day.

I just realized
I didn’t even make it to these.

You can make up for it
next time.

Oh, I will.

I’m going to shower them
with so much attention,

I might have
to take them out to dinner.

So I was thinking...

- That’s what I smell.
- Oh, Jeez.

You and Tink to have more in
common than you want to admit.

I might have to kick you out
of bed for that.

Oh, yeah, you can’t kick me
out of my own bed.

Sorry.

What are...

What were you thinking about?

I was going to go out tomorrow.

Not to work.

Just get back out there.

Sounds good.

I got the evening shift again.

I kind of just wanted to go out
and do my own thing.

And you have to do that alone?

Yeah.

It’s nothing personal.

- I just...
- I know, Ivy.

You got to prove you’re still
the badass that you are.

No one has seen a fae in days.

Has nothing to do with the fae.

You need a damn babysitter

because you want to get out
there and find Belle.

Think I don’t know you
that well?

You don’t.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

Sorry.

I know you need to find her,

but whatever questions
you might have, it’s...

not going to change
what happened.

Look, I’m going to be
honest with you.

You were strong
and you were brave.

But you were seriously injured
a few days ago.

It was more than a few days ago.

Does that really
make a difference?

Look, it’s late.

Can you turn off the
light so we can go to bed?

You almost died, Ivy.

So could you try to use some
common sense and just say...

I don’t need your permission.

Will you just think
about what I said? Okay?

Ivy.

Okay.

You shouldn’t go out.

Am I supposed to stay
here forever?

Yes.

Amazon does same-day
delivery now

and you can use man-boy
to get us beignets

since it’s the only thing
he’s good at.

I’ll be careful, I promise.

You shouldn’t do that.

I know you want to,
but that would be

very unwise of you, Ivy.

Your friend
has been very helpful.

Speaking of, Val...
Happen to know where she is?

Why don’t we talk?

That’s not going to happen.

I think it is.

What exactly can you do?

Refuse me?

I can.

I beg to differ.

You see, we are surrounded
by humans.

So many of them.

And I have an extraordinary
appetite,

a rather impressive
appetite for so many things.

First off, eww.

And second, I don’t want to
hear about your appetites.

And you should know that
I could kill these humans

in less than five seconds,
leading them to believe

that this little...
redheaded girl murdered

all of these innocent people.

Deny me this,

and their blood will be on
your hands, little bird.

Stop.

You must be really useful
on a crowded bus.

- Sit.
- I prefer to stand.

- Sit, little bird.
- Don’t call me that.

Sit. Or I will make sure
his insides are on his outside.

He’s about to jump!

Oh my God!

Oh my God.

The mortal realm has changed.

Last time I was here,

horses carried people
where they needed to go.

It’s taken me a few days
to... adjust.

My world is dying, little bird.

Nothing new is reborn.

The only way I can save it is
to permanently open the gates.

You killed your own world.

You’re not going to do
the same to ours.

What do you know of
my world, little bird?

What do you know at all?

I know I want to stab you
in the eyeball

every time you call me
little bird.

- You do not like me.
- No shit.

Perhaps if we met
under better circumstances.

One where didn’t kill me within
an inch of my life?

I would have ended your life if
I hadn’t realized what you are.

Wow.

But now that
I know how important you are,

you will open the gates for me.

Yeah... no.

Let me impregnate you and
you shall want it for nothing.

That is probably the most
unappealing offer

in the history of mankind.

Mmm.

I smell fear on you

and yet you speak to me
as if you have no concern

for your own well-being.

Did you just smell me?

You can come with me now
and make this easy, or...

Or I can make it hard?

Yeah, I know how this works.

You can’t force me
to be with you.

You can make me
do a lot of things,

but not that... ever.

Is this because you love
your human male?

- What?
- Tell me.

How much do you value his life?

Don’t threaten him.

Are you insane?

There’s literally nothing
you can do or say

that would make...♪

You can fight this all you want.

But trust me,
you will be consenting

sooner than later.

Hey, Dylan, why is
the gift shop closed?

Jerome came down with a cold.

So what are you doing out here?

Fae know our location now,

since that traitor led
the Prince here.

David moved operations
down into the secure area.

Got it.

Sorry about this shit with Val.

I know you was close with her.

Thanks.

Haven’t used this place
for a while.

I haven’t needed to.

I thought you going to think
about what you said, Ivy.

I did.

Yet you’re here.

Are you going to let me pass?

What have you been up to?

Nothing, really.

Went to get beignets, but...

What?

The place was packed.

Am I interrupting?

You gonna get pissed
if I say yes, Miles?

You’re watching Val’s
parents’ house?

Yes.

Have been for the last week.

How are things going?

Her parents are
no longer a concern.

What does that mean?

You know what it means.

Did they confess to anything?

Not like either of them was
gonna admit to fucking a fae.

Doesn’t matter.

They’re compromised
and the sooner we find

their daughter, the better.

If we’re lucky, the traitor
isn’t knocked up yet.

You okay?

Did you know they’d
taken out her parents?

Pretty sure
everyone in the Order

knew that was going to happen.

Do we have irrefutable proof
that Val was a halfling?

- No.
- What if we’re wrong?

What if she’s just a traitor

and the Order flat out
murdered her parents?

They were good people,

dedicated their entire
lives, to this place.

I get why you feel
you need to find Val.

I don’t want you out there

because if you do find her,
it’s going to be too hard.

I don’t mean
you can’t handle yourself.

It’s just...

It’ll be rough on you, Ivy.

I know.

You don’t need to live
with the kind of shit

that’s going to be left behind.

I can shoulder that for you.

You’re too good.

Yeah, I am pretty awesome.

Oh...
And so modest, too.

I really am sorry for
what she’s done.

You going home?

In a little bit.

Just remember what I said.

If you find her, call me.

I’ll make sure
she’s brought in alive.

Are you coming over
after you get off?

Well, I was planning on it.

Ivy...

I’ll miss you.

Hey, Brighton.

Hey, can you come over?

My mom’s gone.

Yeah, I’ll be right over.

I didn’t know who else to call.

I don’t really trust
the other Order members.

What’s going on?

Mom hasn’t been acting right
since the gate opened.

She hasn’t been sleeping.

She started talking

about these places
where the fair folk lived.

Well, was she talking about
the Otherworld?

No, she was talking
about our world.

She told me it’s no longer safe.

That the Order couldn’t
defeat the prince.

Only the fae could.

And that the Order
already knew that.

Should have followed her
when she went outside.

But I didn’t.

And when I went out to check
on her, she was just...

gone.

When I came back in,
I... I saw these journals.

So I started reading.

Oh, my God.

This can’t be.

No, I know. That’s
what I thought at first, too.

But my Mom isn’t that crazy.

There are good fae,

fae who came into our world and
decided not to feed on humans.

They lived normal lifespans.

They worked alongside
Order members.

This book was all
the members of the Order

during that time.

Some are still alive
but have moved away.

But there is one
who’s still around.

Jerome.

Holy...

Do we know where these
good fae are living?

This one has maps of the city.

Places marked where hunts
have been carried out,

locations of kills.

Are there any more like that?

None that I found.

Oh, and Ivy...

Before she left,

she told me
Ren would know what to do.

Why are you wearing shorts
and knee socks?

Why not just wear pants?

First off,
these are sleep shorts,

and secondly,
the socks are fuzzy,

which makes them
better than pants.

I’m going to love
pulling them off you later

with my teeth.

We need to talk
about something first.

Aren’t we going to talk about
how these are feeling abandoned

and I’ve been planning all day
to rectify that?

Mmm...

- Merle’s missing.
- Mm-hmm.

She left behind
all these journals,

some dating back decades.

They detail how the Order
used to work alongside the fae.

Come again?

Yeah, she talks about
how there are actually good fae;

fae that don’t feed on humans.

Are you high?

I wish.

But if you let go of me
I can show you.

You’re being serious.

Merle is missing?

And she told Brighton
it wasn’t safe anymore.

I think it’s real.

I’m not trying to be rude
or anything,

but Merle struggles with...

Yes, she struggles

but this was chronicled

before she was taken
by the fae and fed on.

List of Order members

who apparently co-hunted
with the fae.

Most of the members
have either retired

or didn’t make it to retirement,

but there’s one
who’s still kicking.

Jerome.

And there’s something else...

Merle told Brighton
to contact you...

that you would know what to do.

What?

So you didn’t know about this?

I’ve honestly
never heard of this.

And as a member
of the Elite, we...

know everything.

If this is true, then
we need to find one of these

good natured,
non-human-eating fae

and quickly.

Yeah, you make that sound like
it’s something easy.

Hell, I think we’ve learned
that nothing’s easy.

Ren, please.

You don’t have
to ask, sweetness.

Is this okay?

I could keep you right here.

Right like this.

I seriously
doubt that’s Amazon delivery.

You just busted
into the wrong house.

Ah!

That was funny?

What the hell?

What kind of tomfoolery is this?

A knight.

Thou shall not pass!

Shit. That worked
in "The Lord of the Rings."

This needs to stop!

- I got this.
- Tink, no!

Holy shit.

What in the actual fuck...

There are none of your
kind in this realm.

- You’re not to be...
- No.

It’s the middle of the night.

Yeah, knights and ancients
don’t go poof.

We’re going to have to do
something about the body

because they tend
to decompose fast.

There’s going to be a lot more

than just blood
seeping through the floorboards.

A good day to you, sir.

- How in the...
- What?

Big things come in
small packages.

That explains nothing.

I’m kind of like a house elf.

This isn’t the Wizarding World
of fucked up.

I’m going to pretend you did not

speak of the Wizarding World
in such a tone.

Anyway, I’m a brownie.

We have the remarkable ability
that allows

us to shrink ourselves
just like opossums playing dead.

That’s nothing like an opossum
playing dead.

But it’s the same idea.

Are you telling me this
entire time you’ve actually been

pretending to be small?

Not exactly pretending.

Being small
is the same as being large.

That makes no sense.

I warned you, Ivy.

I even asked if you knew what
you had living in your house.

Did you know
he was actually six feet tall

- and anatomically correct?
- No.

Then shut the hell up.

Why would you think it wasn’t
anatomically correct?

Well, where are
your goddamn wings?

Oh, I have them hidden.

In this form they’re pretty big

and would be knocking shit over

and considering
how unstable you are...

I’m unstable because you’re not
the size of a Barbie doll.

Well, I’m actually more useful
this way.

You don’t have to carry
my deliveries...

Oh, my God.

I’m going to kill you.

Well, that’s a little drastic.

I can get behind that
thought process.

I saved your life.
How dare you?

I had it handled.

It looked like
the only thing you had handled

was the art of getting
your ass kicked.

Can you put
some damn clothes on?

You have a problem
with male nudity?

I have a problem with your
dick hanging out.

My, my, how the tables
have turned.

I think you’re
intimidated by my size.

Yeah, I’m not intimidated.

This is a nightmare.

I’m going to wake up
in a few minutes,

the knight will have
never been here,

Tink will go back to being
a foot small

playing with troll dolls.

Oh, I’ll still play with them.

If it makes you feel better
I can return

to your approved size.

That’s not going
to make me feel better.

While this shit-show
is a pretty big deal,

I’m going to have to ask
one more question.

That knight
was gunning for my ass.

He didn’t want anything
to do with Ivy. Why?

Probably because the knight
went after the one

he viewed as more of a threat.

Take out the one
that’s stronger first.

If knights are coming to Order
members houses in the middle

of the night
and this changes everything.

I’m going to buy a deadbolt.
I’ll be right back.

- I’m sorry, Ivy-divy...
- Stop with the cute shit.

Oh, I never said
anything because you...

Let me guess.

You never thought
it would be an issue.

Oh, it’s just
when we enter the human realm,

we always take this form,
it’s a protective measure.

- And you found me in that form...
- You’re cleaning that up.

I’ll clean it up, Ivy,
but I don’t like

when you’re mad at me.

Well, then how about being
completely honest with me?

Oh.

If you knew that I could be
this size, you wouldn’t

have been comfortable
with me staying here.

You probably would
have tried to kill me.

There’s nothing else, Ivy.

You know everything about me.

Please don’t be mad.

I can cut back on
ordering from Amazon

like maybe down to three...

I saw the prince earlier.

And you just now say something?

How in the world did
your towel stay on?

Magic.

Seriously, what the hell,
Ivy, what happened?

He didn’t try to take me.

He was wooing you, like I said.

The prince knows about Ren

and the knight had no intention
of fighting me.

He kept pushing me
out of the way.

I think he was sent here
to take out the competition,

to kill Ren.

That’s no bueno.

Saw your coffee.

- It was too sweet to pass up.
- Hm.

What do you think about Tink?

The fact the asshole isn’t
the size of my boot bothers me.

I’m not saying you should
kick him out,

but I’d 100 percent support
that decision.

Duly noted.

Tonight, when we
get done working,

it’s going to be all you and me.

And I don’t care
what kind of shit we gotta

deal with or think about
or plan for, when we’re done,

I’m going to get you naked.

I like the sound of that.

I got a real bad pickup
line for you.

Oh, yeah?

I’ve been saving it
for just the right moment.

Waiting...

You’re a work of art.

I’d like to nail you
to the wall.

That is so terrible.

I know.

Good to see you finally
walking through that door.

Ditto.

Ren.

It’s been a while.

Good to see you’re doing well.

Likewise.

What are you doing here, Kyle?

Here because we’re needed.

And you must be Ivy.

David was telling me about you.

Nice to meet you.

Fought the prince
of the Otherworld

and lived to tell the story.

Amazing.

Barely lived to tell the story.

Listen up.

We have two members
from Colorado here,

their names are Kyle Clare
and Henry Kenner.

I’m going to cut
through the bullshit.

Henry and I are here
to find the halfling.

And here’s the thing that
all of you seem to be missing.

If that girl Val
was truly the halfling

fae wouldn’t let her
anywhere near that gate.

That would have kept her
safe and sound.

She isn’t the halfling.

Ivy. Slow down.

Hey, are you okay?

What’s going on, babe?
Talk to me.

You’re really starting
to scare me for real.

- I’m the...
- Hey!

What are you two
doing down here?

We’re talking.

You know something
that two people,

sometimes more...
Hell, even a person

when they’re on their own likes
you do without interruption.

Kyle warned me
you were a smart ass.

I can see
he wasn’t exaggerating.

- What’s up?
- Kyle needs to speak with you.

Kind of doing something right
now, I’ll be up to see Kyle...

It’s an order.

I can wait.

You should go see Kyle.

Hell.

Times a ticking, my man.

We’ll continue this later, okay?

I think she just got pregnant.

You might want to keep your
mouth shut if you want to use it

later for things like
breathing and eating.

Text me when you’re done.

Will do.

Holy shit-storm in the making.

Val.

Val, stop.

Stairs. Really?

I was hoping
you wouldn’t follow.

You hate stairs.

Yeah, no shit.

Why would you betray us
like this?

People died, Val.

I almost died. Your best friend
who trusted you.

I never wanted you to get hurt.

You followed me and the prince.

- Who does that?
- Me.

I kept thinking they had
you under their control.

I followed you
because I care about you.

You almost got me killed.

But you weren’t. Were you?

That’s not the point.

I want to know why you did this.

I don’t even care
about the Order.

- I just want to know why.
- You don’t understand.

You got your parents
killed, Val.

Do you know that?

That was...

sad.

- Sad?
- Sacrifices had to be made, Ivy.

It’s not like they didn’t
live a long and happy life.

I can’t believe you.

Jesus, Ivy. Are you really
happy working for the Order, hm?

Putting your life on
the line every day.

You’re happy getting up
every morning knowing

there’s about a 50% chance
you’re going to die that day?

We don’t get paid
enough for this shit.

And it’s not like
we can just quit.

We were born
into this, cosmically

pulling the short straw on life,
and I know you’re not happy.

That’s why you take
college classes.

But I don’t betray
everyone I trust.

And if you were this unhappy,
you could have just walked away.

You have no idea
what the other side is like.

Other side?

What the fae are capable of.

And I’m not talking
about taking over the world.

They are...
oh...

Let’s just say once you go fae,

you never go back.

Are you serious?

Oh, when they feed...

it’s better than
a shot of heroin.

- You...
- Don’t look at me like that.

I got cornered
on a hunt months ago.

I thought I was gonna die.

But he took me
to Marlon instead.

Marlon the ancient.

We worked out a deal.

He wouldn’t kill me
if I helped them

find the Order members
guarding the gate.

So, you know, after a while,

it wasn’t even like
I was being forced.

They’re going to take over, Ivy.

And you know what?

I’d rather be
on the winning side.

And, girl, the fae...
know what they’re doing.

You actually enjoy being fed on?
What is wrong with you?

Ooh, don’t knock it, babe.

Not until you’ve had one that
didn’t want you to hurt.

Oh, it’s like full body orgasm.
Whole thing.

That guy you were seeing.
He’s a fae.

It took you that
long to figure that out?

You were feeding him information
so you could get fucked

and fed on?

How dare you stand
there and lecture me.

You’re the halfling.

You’ll be screwing the prince
soon enough.

I won’t be screwing the prince
because I actually

have taste in men.

And I didn’t choose
to be this, Val.

I didn’t wake up one morning
and decide to be a coward

who betrays everyone
who trusts me.

Because that’s what you are.
A coward, Val!

You deserve that and more.

Hitting isn’t nice, Ivy.

You know you can’t beat me
in a fight, Val.

Why can’t you just
chill out and...

Can’t just let you walk away.

You don’t have it
in you to kill me.

So you’re probably going
to try to take me in and...

Yeah, I’m not feeling that.

Just need to delay this.

For what?

I knew he’d come.

Girls...

What do humans say?

Why fight when we can make love?

That is so incredibly cliché.

I smell your blood.

This just keeps getting
better and better.

Oh, I can think of so many ways
to make this evening

so much better.

Don’t get near him.

Oh. Babe...

I’ve already been near him.

Like really near him.

If you get my drift.

Why are you bleeding?

Explain.

We were fighting.

She attacked me
so I had to defend myself.

You were to bring her to me,
not beat her.

I wouldn’t say she beat me.

I told you, she just needs
more time. I promise...

You promised to bring her to me.

I do not see how involving
fists would accomplish that.

I will.

Ivy is difficult, Drake.

Drake?

I did not give you permission
to address me so directly.

You’re right. I’m sorry.

I overstepped.

Did you just apologize
for overstepping?

Are you on crack?

And she can’t woo me
to the dark side.

I’m un-woo-able,
so I don’t know what

she’s been promising you,
but it’s a whole lot of nothing.

You can’t use her
to get to me, Drake.

I didn’t give you
permission either.

And look how many fucks
I have to give: Zero.

Ivy, stop.

Oh, my lovely little bird
doesn’t know when to stop.

She’s lucky
that she’s necessary.

But you...

You are not so lucky.

You...

She was a problem for you,
wasn’t she?

I... took care of her.

She was helping you.

As you said.
I can’t use her to get to you.

So she was... expendable.

But you are not.

Don’t come any closer.

Remember what happened
the last time

you pulled a weapon on me?

Do you really think that’s going
to stop me from fighting you?

Apparently you do not learn
from previous experience.

But this time
I don’t have to worry

about anyone else getting hurt.

We’re alone.

So I can do anything
I want to you.

And there’s
no one here to stop me.

Goodbye.

For now.

What?

- Val’s dead.- I need a little more detail.

I saw her on Bourbon
and she ran.

Chased her to a rooftop
on Canal.

We fought and she...

She fell.

Shit.

I didn’t kill her.

I asked her why she betrayed us.

- And then she...- The why doesn’t matter.

She did what she did.

She’s still out there?

Yeah.

I’ll send someone.

You’re off
for the rest of the night.

I’m fine.

Get your ass off the streets
or you find yourself

off tomorrow too.

All right.

Ren.

I just heard.
Where are you?

On Bourbon.
Next to Galatoire’s.

I’ll be right there.

Okay.

Ivy.

Ivy.

I’m sorry, sweetness.

I didn’t kill her.

- It was...
- It doesn’t matter.

You facing her down was
the last thing I wanted for you.

That’s too heavy.

I know what you’re feeling.

You okay?
Your jaw...

What did... what did Kyle say?

He wanted to talk about
the halfling.

Plans to ferret out some of the
fae, to recapture one of them

and maybe get them to point us
in the right direction.

- But with Val...
- She wasn’t the halfling.

- I know, Kyle thinks...
- I’m the halfling.

- What? Ivy...
- It’s me.

I... I didn’t know until
a couple of days

after I fought the prince.

Stop.

I... I don’t know why
you think that.

Val was the halfling,
that makes sense.

No. No, it doesn’t make sense.

If Val had been the halfling,
they wouldn’t have risked her

to open the gate.
They would have kept her safe

so she could be available
for the prince.

It wasn’t her.

Okay. All right.

I... I can see why
you’d believe that.

And you’ve been
under a ton of stress...

It’s not stress!

This isn’t some whacked out
theory I’ve come up with.

I know you said
my parents were in love, but...

maybe it was like your friend.

I don’t know.

But it’s me.

That’s impossible.

Come here.

I know I should have told you
as soon as I found out

but I can’t lie to you anymore.

You must be so disgusted
with me.

I could never be
disgusted with you.

I don’t know what’s
going on in your head

but we can figure this out.

Try to get to the bottom of why
you think this about yourself.

I’ll show you.

Sweetness.

You don’t have
to show me anything.

I’m the halfling, Ren.

I don’t need you to lie
for me or do anything

and I hate putting in this
position because...

I love you.

Ren.

You what?

You...

you told me
that you’re this thing

and then you say that
you love me.

What is...
How did I miss this?

No, Ren...

You...

I just...

I don’t even know how
to process this right now.

I... I... I got to go see David.

He needs to know
about the knight.

You’re not...

I ju... I can’t.

I can’t do this right now.

You came home alone last night,
and he’s not here now.

Not that I’m complaining.

I needed a break from him.

Are you fishing?

Yeah.

If there are fish in my sink

I swear to God, I am flushing
you down the toilet.

Relax. They’re not real fish.

I tried to order real ones
from Amazon, but alas,

they do not sell them.

So where is Renny Tin Tin?

We had a fight.

Really?

Yeah. I don’t think
he’ll be around for a while.

That big of a fight?

You didn’t tell him, did you?

About what you are?

No, I didn’t tell him.

What would you do if I died?

Why would you even be
thinking about that?

With everything going
on, there’s a chance.

What would you do?

I don’t know.

I guess I’d have to go find
someone else with Amazon Prime.

Nice.

But seriously, you’d have to
leave here eventually.

You know, take on your...

um, bigger form.

I know what I’d have to do, Ivy.

You don’t have to worry
about me.

Do you want a fish?

Like as a pet?

You’d get me some if I said yes?

Yeah, I could start you off
small with, like,

- a beta or a goldfish.
- Can I have a ferret?

- What? No?
- What about a cat?

Oh, I watch videos of them
on the YouTube.

They seem to be sort of mean

and I kind of like that
about them.

A cat would probably eat you
if you stay that size.

Naw, I think a cat
would love me.

Especially if you get me
a kitten and I raise it.

It doesn’t matter
if you’ve raised it.

The cat will try to kill you
at some point.

I refuse to believe that.

I will hug it and pet it.

Forget I said anything
about this

Nope.

Not ever going to forget.
Ever.

If you had a cat,
you’d have to take care of it.

I know that.

I’d have to get a litter box,
preferably one of those

self-cleaning ones,
cat toys and...

That was screwed up.

I’d never do that to a kitten.

Bye, Tink.

What?

I came to see
how you’re feeling.

I’m feeling like
I don’t want visitors.

Too bad.

You look like crap.

Well, your house smells like
dust and Vicks VapoRub.

Oh, insult me
while I might be dying.

That’s a new low even
for you, redheaded demon.

But, hey, I brought you
chocolate cake.

So they’ve essentially
told me to get off my ass

and get back to the shop.

Actually, David doesn’t
even know I’m here.

No one does. I...

Jesus, I didn’t come here
to kill you.

What the hell, Jerome?

Oh, you can’t be
too safe these days.

I want to know about the
fae who don’t feed on humans.

You don’t need to
be asking questions like that.

You don’t know what...

I know the Order
used to work with them

and I know they hid it so deep
no one else knows about it.

Merle’s been talking.

I think she might have gone
to one of these communities.

Those communities
ain’t in existence anymore.

You...

So you’re saying
there are communities of fae

who don’t feed on humans,
that are good?

I said was.
They’ve all been dealt with.

That’s all in the past.

But the knights and the Prince
came through the gate.

I’m sorry but it’s...
You need to go now.

- Jerome.
- I mean it, Ivy.

You need to go now.

Don’t have me ask you again.

What’s up?

Is Ren with you?

No, why?

He was supposed to come back
and talk about some shit

that was urgent.
He didn’t show.

I called him, no answer.

I’m going back to headquarters.

I’ll see if his car’s
still in the garage.

Hm. All righty, then.

The hell am I supposed
to do this?

Most people use it
to actually kill fae.

Oh. You know, when they
go out there and work.

I just saw a fae
in the parking garage.

Actually, I saw two.

One killed the other and then
impaled herself on my dagger.

I’m not even sure
what to do with that info.

You guys?

Did either of the faes
say anything?

One looked like he was about to,

but he was killed before
he could.

She was carrying
one of our daggers.

Fae had long since
adapted the use of iron

for their own
in a self-policing sort of way.

It’s good that you’re here, Ivy.

Got some questions to ask you.

What’s up?

Last night we were
chatting with Ren

and then he left
to meet with you.

You still haven’t
heard from him?

No.

That’s why I was in the garage.

Ren parked there yesterday
and now his truck is gone.

He was asking if we knew
anything about fae

who didn’t feed on humans.

Do you know why he would ask
something so strange like that?

Ren’s always curious
about things.

Hm.

What a weird thing
to be curious about.

His absence
and his timing is strange.

Do you have any idea
where he would be?

No.

I mean, I was thinking
about checking his place.

I’m a little freaked out.

Yeah...

I’ll send a team out now.

What’s going on?

Dylan said there’s a lot of
police activity down at Flux.

This may not have anything
to do with fae,

but it warrants investigating.

- I’ll go.
- Not you.

I want that report about Val
filled out now.

But I don’t...

Why is it that I always
have to tell you

that an order is an order?

Every single time.

I’d rather get shot in the head
than do paperwork.

Can I ask you a question?

If I say no,
you still going to ask?

Probably.

That crystal Val took.

What’s the significance of it?

Just a piece of shit gem
that doesn’t mean much.

What?

You and I don’t really
know each other.

Well, to be honest,
no one in the Order

really knows each other.

Except you and Val.

You two knew each other
fairly well.

Fell off a roof, huh?

Close with Ren and now he’s MIA.

An Elite member missing.

That’s odd.

Where are you going
with this, Miles?

Nowhere.

Just thinking out loud.

Can you not do that?

You know what else
I can’t not do?

Your double negative
is confusing as hell.

I can’t shake this feeling
for about three years

that there is something
very, very off about you.

David trusts you.
I don’t know why.

But I don’t, Ivy.

Thank you for letting me
know your personal,

irrelevant opinion of me.

I appreciate it.

I’m going to be cliché as hell.

I’m keeping my eye on you.

Holy crap, Glenn!

Are you part ninja?

Whatcha doing here?

Just filling out a
report for David.

I was going to head to Club
Flux, see what was going on.

Look, I was just there.

Look, I’m guessing you’ve
seen some crazy stuff

since we all have...

but this...

Oh my God.

Detectives are gonna spin it
as mass cult suicide.

Why are you sleeping
on the couch?

Are you and Ren still fighting?

If so, there’s a chance you
might want to see my junk.

I don’t want to see
your junk again, Tink.

A bunch of people
were killed last night.

Fed on until they died.

Well, that’s a buzzkill.

- And Ren is missing.
- What!

I don’t know what to do.

Maybe he’s off licking
his man wounds?

Or maybe the prince
has captured him.

Both make sense.

That’s not helping.

Sorry?

I’m really not good at saying
sorry and sounding

like I mean it,
but I do mean it.

Would now be a bad time to talk
about getting that kitten you...

So close.

Ivy.

Ren... Where have you been?

I’ve been around.

David’s been trying to call you.

I thought you disappeared
because of what I said

- And then I thought...
- Ivy.

The Prince.

His name is Drake,
he killed Val.

Pushed her off the roof
like she was a just

some piece of trash.

I planned on telling
you the truth but...

Ivy, it’s okay.

I’m the halfling, Ren...
I’m this... abomination.

You are not an abomination.

I’m not even completely human.

The Prince wants to knock me up
so have his... apocalypse baby.

I wish you would stop
calling it that.

You came to New Orleans
to find the halfling.

How can this be okay?

And now that
Kyle and Henry are here,

how can any of it be okay?

Because I will make it okay.

You called me a "thing" after
I told you that I loved you,

and then you left.

I shouldn’t have
reacted the way I did.

Everything will be okay.

Are you hungry?

What?

Would you like to get
something to eat?

Let’s eat.

So is this part of your plan?

You pretend everything
is okay and then

you turn me in to the Elite?

It’s not a trap, Ivy.

And the Elite will never
get their hands on you.

Have you checked in with David?

I will later.

He’s not really my priority
right now.

He’s not going to like
the sound of that.

Cannot say I care.

What about Kyle?

Henry? He said that...

They’re not really
my concern either.

Are you going to eat?

Mmm.

Was there something
wrong with it?

It didn’t taste right.

Mine’s fine.

I really thought you’d be
disgusted with me.

I thought you’d be...
so repulsed.

I could never
be repulsed by you.

Are you done?

Let’s go somewhere.

Tink’s at my place.

- What?
- Well, yeah.

The brownie’s always there.

Let’s not go to your apartment.

Where’d you park?

I didn’t feel like driving.

I had a lot on my mind.

Let’s get that cab.

- Want something to drink?
- No.

You’re nervous.

I don’t want you to be.

Is it that obvious?

I get that things have been
tough recently.

Tough?

I left you without giving you
a chance to fully explain.

It was wrong, especially after
what happened to your friend.

Yeah, that was kind of...
dickish.

I overreacted.

Trust me, I regret it.

You do?

More than you will ever know.

Do you...
want me to slow down?

That’s the last thing
I want to do.

Ignore it.

Ren, if you’re in there,
I need you to open this

damn door right now.

Well...

This explains why you haven’t
been answering your damn phone.

Kyle said you were reliable,
that we could count on you.

So far, the only thing
we can count on

is you spending your time
getting fucked.

Hi, Henry.

I haven’t heard from him, huh?

He’s quite annoying.

Was... not so much anymore.

What the hell?

Holy shit!
Ren, why would you do that?

He knew what you were.

What?

He knew that
you were the halfling.

How?

I don’t know.

Well, then how do you
know that he knew?

And if he knew,
then that means Kyle knows.

And if Kyle knows,
how am I still standing here?

They don’t seem like
the type to wait around.

They will, if they believe
that you will lead them

back to the prince.

After all, they wouldn’t
to just take out the halfling.

I’m sorry
that this bothered you,

but it had to be done.

I need to take care of the body.

I should probably do this alone.

It’ll be okay, I promise.

I’ll catch up with you later.

- Hey.
- I found something.

What?

On one of the old hand-drawn
maps, there’s these

strange markings in front of
certain homes and businesses.

They look like
crudely drawn wings.

Those markings symbolize
a safe haven for the fae.

- Are you sure?- That’s what it says?

I think I know where my mom is.

There’s this house.

Well, it’s like
a mansion, really.

But it keeps popping up
on all the maps.

My mom even has it
circled on one of her maps.

This mansion

is where the Market Street
Power Plant is.

That old, abandoned, creepy-ass
building on Peters Street?

Yes.

Promise me you won’t go there
before I check it out.

Okay.

Okay.

Tink.

How did you know it was me?

Who else would be calling me
from inside my apartment?

I don’t know.
People, ghosts.

Is there a reason
for your calling?

I might have ordered something.

Okay. I definitely
ordered something.

But not from Amazon.

You can’t get these from Amazon.

Well, what is it?

You’ll see when you
come home. Bye!

Hey.

Where are you?

Nowhere. Where are you?

At the apartment.

It’s been taken care of.

We need to talk about
what happened.

I’ll meet you back
at your place, okay?

I’ll be waiting.

What did you do with Henry?

You probably don’t want to know.

Who are you?

Excuse me.

You’re straight up murdered
Henry and you’re acting

like today’s
any other Wednesday.

He was going to hurt you.

So will Kyle.
I’m protecting you.

I get that. But I wasn’t
in immediate danger.

You would have been.

And if you’re wondering if
I’ll do the same thing to Kyle,

the answer is yes.

Why are you so surprised, Ivy?

They will kill you.

- May I...
- Have at it?

Mm!

That is some strong
black coffee.

It’s the way I like it.

No, it’s not.

You like it with sugar like me.

Actually you usually use
six packets or more.

You don’t like it black.

I like it both ways.

Nobody likes it both ways.

What did I study in college?

Are you feeling well?

Answer the question.

What did you call me
when you first met me?

Where’s Ren?

I’m right in front of you.

You’re not him.

Whatever is going on
inside your head,

we can work this out together.

Where is the real Ren?

- Ivy.
- Don’t say my name.

Tell me where he is

or I’m gonna make this hurt
before I kill you.

Start talking!

I was hoping you wouldn’t
catch on so quickly.

Unfortunately, you are more
clever than I anticipated.

Don’t come any closer.

You could have tried to stab me,
but you didn’t.

As long as I look like him,
you will do nothing to me.

That was not very nice,
little bird.

You... Drake.

Where’s Ren?

You are so aggressive.

Where is he?

He’s a little occupied
at the moment.

Is he alive?

Answer me.

The last time I checked.

That could change at any moment.

You better
pray he’s still alive.

And if not?

You have to admit
this was impressive.

If it wasn’t for that
stupid cup of coffee...

I would have figured it out.

Would you have figured it out
with my tongue in your mouth

or while I was thrusting...

Ah!

You were so close earlier,
weren’t you?

I thought it was Ren.

You disgust me.

Keep telling yourself that.

Get off me!

You want this body.
I’m not sure why.

But if this is what it takes...

You’re not stabbing me
with that.

Why do you even try
to fight me, Ivy?

You know you cannot win.

I like it when they fight back.

Oh, gross!

Shame. But there will
be time later.

I’m going to enjoy this.

Ugh!

So difficult.

Uh...

Oh...

Shit.

She’s awake.

- Where am I?
- I don’t answer to you, cow.

You guys really need to come up
with better insults.

Should put that pitcher down
before you hurt yourself.

No, thanks.

We’re having
food brought to you.

If you misbehave,
you will net the consequences.

Ooh, scary.

I think we should starve you.

Maybe then when
hunger is gnawing at you,

you will gladly
open your thighs.

Ah!

Tastes like wine.
Do it.

Or I’ll break her in two.

The prince will not be pleased
to see her injured.

No...

Son of a bitch.

You haven’t touched your dinner.

Unchain me.

You’ve been awake
for all of 5 minutes

and you’ve already abused
one of mine.

One of yours bit me.

And she’s been taken care of.

I do not want you injured.

You have me chained to a bed!

Obviously we can’t expect you
to behave like a civil creature.

Like a civil...

I’m gonna kill you.

How?

You can’t even reach me.

You’ll get close enough
eventually.

True.

And when I do,
you will be willing.

Not likely.

You can’t pretend
to be Ren anymore.

I don’t have to be Ren.

I love seeing this on you.

It’s like having a
rabid cat on a leash.

I also love seeing you
down here, little bird.

Do you really think that I would

ever in a million years
be with you?

I think so.

I hate you.

I’m not exactly fond
of you either.

You’re not even attracted to me.

Oh, there are times that I find
you deliciously attractive.

This is one of those moments.

Eww.

You’ll change your
tune soon enough.

Oh my God.

You...

We need to feed.

You would too,
if you would stop fighting me.

They enjoy it?

What kind of life is this?

You killed those people
in the club.

- You...
- They crossed me.

It would be wise to learn
from their example.

Ren!

Did I give you
permission to go to him?

Please.

You will pay for your actions
if you displease me.

Okay.
Oh, God, Ren!

Don’t feel too badly for him.

He’s caught the eye of Breena

and she’s been rather hands on.

How romantic.

I’m so sorry.

- Hey.
- Ivy?

It’s me.

You shouldn’t be here.

Neither should you.

I told you he was still alive.

But for how long
depends solely on you.

I will let him go...

in exchange for you.

What?

I will let him go right now
if you agree to be with me.

If not, I cannot guarantee that
Breena will be so pleasurable

with him as she has in the past.

- No, you can’t.
- You have a choice.

I let this human male go free
and you submit to me

or I hand him over to Breena
and he won’t survive the night.

How do I know you’re not lying?

I give you my word.

Once given it can only
be broken by death.

And you’d promise to stop
hurting him and let him go?

Yes.

No, Ivy.

Don’t.

I need time.

I can’t just be with you.

That’s not who I am.

No.

If you don’t give me time
and stop hurting him,

I’ll find a way to end this.

You’ll be back to square one
looking for another halfling.

How much time?

A month?

- Two weeks.
- Three.

I have to get comfortable.

You don’t need
to be comfortable.

You just need to
let me plant my seed in you.

You see, that’s exactly why
I have to get comfortable.

You sick son of a bitch.

You’re not going to touch her.

I will end you.

Three weeks
and you’ll submit to me?

Say it.

Three weeks
and those conditions.

And I’ll submit to you.

Deal.

Marique, he’s to be released.

Ivy, no.

I’ve got this. Okay?

Trust me.

Don’t do it.

I’m not worth it.

Yes, you are.

I love you.

Don’t you touch her!

I will rip you
into fucking pieces!

Ivy, no!

If you think to trick me,
I will do things to you

that will make you beg
for death.

Do you understand me?

I understand.

You still haven’t eaten.

Well, we’re here to make
sure she showers.

So last opportunity to eat.

She can still eat afterwards,
Breena.

- You’re Breena?
- I am.

You’re on my to kill list.

Is that so?

Well, I think I know why.

Yeah, I bet you do.

I told you it wasn’t
wise for you to be here.

Prince spoke of you.
She wasn’t going to forget you.

I was hoping she wouldn’t.

You know who else is never
going to forget my name?

My little human pet.

You’re disgusting.

Well, that’s not
what Ren thought.

Especially not when
my tongue was on his skin.

My mouth on his neck.

You’re so proud of yourself
for forcing yourself on someone.

Who said anything
about forcing myself?

I can be very convincing.

You’re about to be very dead.

My pet had the most
amazing tattoos.

I traced my tongue up and down
those vines.

Shut up.

Give me the key.

He tasted like man and salt.

Not a bad combination.

I should go pay him a visit.

I doubt you’ll get the chance.

I’m going to unchain you now.

If you try anything,
one of the males will come in.

You don’t want that, right?

No.

Then please don’t go after her.

She wasn’t with him that long.

She fed on him.
That is all.

She’s just trying
to get a rise out of you.

Don’t give her that.

Why do you care?

Okay.

Let’s go.

Strip.

Do you really have
flowers on your bra?

Pink panties.

How old are you?

Go fuck yourself.

How about I go
fuck your boyfriend instead?

Shut up, Breena.

And you have a tattoo
in the same place

as your boyfriend.

How cute.

It’s okay, you can shower.

I felt so alive
while I was feeding on Ren.

Pretty soon
the prince will knock you up,

and he’ll cast you aside

and I’ll take my rightful place
at his side.

He wants you to shave.

Gross.
Humans are so hairy.

No way.

It’s not happening.

The prince wants you
to wear this.

Are you serious?

Well, it’s either that
or your naked.

Your choice.

Please, I can’t wear that.

I’m sorry.

How cute.

You look like you’re
trying to play dress up.

Ah!

I’m going to kill you.

Stop it.

Valor!

Oh!

Come on, let’s go.

Let’s go.

The prince won’t be
Pleased with your actions.

Worth it.

Do you like the dress
I picked out for you?

No.

You should not have gouged
Breena’s eyes.

I’m gonna kill her.

You kill her because she
touched your human male.

I’d kill her because what she
did to him wasn’t consensual.

How do you know?

Being fed on isn’t something
Ren would have wanted.

And you think that
he truly wants you

knowing that you’re a halfling?

How do you think that
we captured your human male?

Breena caught his attention
and lured him in quite easily.

He saw past her glamour.

It’s our job to follow fae
when we see them.

Breena is beautiful.

And you? Well, you.

You have this hair.

I’m not sure what to make of it.

Gee, thanks.

I know what you’re trying
to do, and it’s not working.

You know that
when we feed on people,

we can see inside of them,

pieces of their personality,
their wants and desires.

One of the things that
I picked up from your human male

was his concern over
Henry and Kyle.

You should thank me

for removing at least
one of those threats.

Murdering someone in cold blood
isn’t exactly a desirable trait.

Do you know what else I learned?

Your human male isn’t sure
how he feels about you.

He’s torn.
He cares about you,

but he loathes
half of what you are.

Why should I believe
what you’re saying?

Because I’ve been
inside your head

and you share those same fears.

Now, why would you want
to be with someone

who doesn’t fully accept you
for who you are?

Do you think telling
me this is going to help?

You made a deal,

so in the end
it doesn’t really matter.

You have 17 days left.

I would rather you kill me
than remind me of that.

I thought you didn’t
want to die.

Your mere presence makes me
wish for a 50 story window

to jump out of.
Or a moat.

A moat filled with dozens
of hungry alligators.

You always paint
such lovely pictures

with your words, little bird.

I’m going to paint lovely
pictures with your intestines.

Resist all you want,

in the end I will plant my seed.

Then once the apocalypse
baby is born...

Oh, I wish you’d stop
calling it that.

The apocalypse baby...

you’re going to kill me.

I’ll be of no use
to you anymore.

So not wanting this
is my life insurance policy.

You know, little bird...

I plan to keep you afterwards.

Your mouth amuses me.

Perhaps I’ll have a pretty
little cage fashioned

for my pretty little bird.

Nothing screams romance like
being held captive in a cage.

I’m going to kill you.

I will find a way.

That’s a promise.

My amusement has its
limitations, little bird.

There’s something
that you haven’t realized.

There are worse things
that I can do to you

than end your life.

It’s time you realized that.

You’re a fighter,
even when it’s useless.

I can respect that.

But it doesn’t mean
I won’t break you.

You won’t break me.

You’ve already agreed
to be with me.

I’d say I’m already
well on my way, little bird.

You know, I’ve only met a few
halflings in my many centuries

of being alive.

Used to have many
humans in the other world.

Well, they didn’t
last very long.

The feedings or the environment
always got to them.

So we bred them,
replenishing our stock.

Unfortunately,
our world has cooled

and the environment
no longer sustains human life.

And without humans, we age

and we die.

The dying flowers, the cold.

It’s because you’re here.

It’s adjusting to our needs.

The weather will continue
to change.

Winter is in our
blood after all.

You joined
the Summer court. You...

We overtook
the Summer court centuries ago.

Before we learned
of the loopholes

in the prophecies surrounding
the doorway,

halflings were considered
an abhorrence.

They were killed.

As if your kind treats
halflings any better.

Every once in a while,

one of our kind would

take a liking to the child

and the halfling would grow.

Do you know what we discovered
about halflings?

We learned that they
could feed just like us.

No.

It’s just like a kiss.

All have to do is inhale
and want it.

The first
couple of times are like,

how do you humans
say, taking a hit?

You’ll get used to it.

It’s time that you discover
who you truly are.

There is no way
I’m feeding off of a human.

That’s not who I am.

You don’t know what you are.

I’ve Ivy Morgan.

I’m a member of the Order

and I’m human.

I don’t feed off
of other humans.

You are a halfling
and you will do as I say.

Never.

You do remember I can make you?

Don’t do this.

Please.

Don’t make me do this.

My will is yours.

Show her.

You’re hungry.

There is a need burning bright

in your belly, lighting up
every cell of your body.

It’s not food that you desire.

You need life.

You need a piece of her

and she can give you
what you need.

Take it.

She wants to give it to you.

Show her.

Inhale.

That’s it. Feed.

No.

No.

You want it.

No. I don’t want this.

I don’t want you.

No.

Soon you will say yes.

There is no other option.

Are you going to put
that collar back on me?

I hope I will not have to,

but I guess that
depends entirely on you.

Why are you so nice to me?

Is it so surprising that my
first inclination

when I look at you is not
to feed on you and kill you?

Considering where we are, yeah.

The Prince wants her
brought to him.

If you come willingly, I won’t
have to put this on you.

Jesus.

Do you guys need us
to come back or something?

I was expecting you.

Seriously?

Did she eat?

A little.

If you don’t eat your dinner,
you don’t get dessert.

Yeah, I definitely
don’t want dessert.

Do you want dessert?

You know I do.

You know, who else
loved dessert?

Do you want me to gouge out
your eyes for real this time?

I would like to see you try.

Enough.

You know what your mouth
is better used on.

Ugh.

Ew!

As if your human male
doesn’t feel the same.

He actually respects me.

You stand there
as if you will still

be reunited
with your human lover.

I find it amusing that you think
that he would take you back.

If he felt that same
way about you,

don’t you think he would have
found his way back here by now?

I don’t need him to save me.

It’s time.

Time for what?

Feed.

Can we talk?

Talk?

I only have a couple more days.

Two days,
if we’re counting today.

You intimidate me into feeding
and I’m not myself afterwards.

So not all this time counts.

And it doesn’t help me feel
more comfortable around you.

I have been incredibly
lenient with you.

- Seriously?
- Yes.

I have removed
the collar for now.

I have not pushed.

I could have gotten you to say
yes many times over.

Sure, you could get me to agree.

But I can’t be
under your control,

and I have been
this entire time.

What do you want to talk about?

Do we have to talk in here?

Where would you like to go?

Outside.

Not gonna happen.

All I’m asking for is
a couple of minutes in the sun.

If you try anything,

you will not like what happens.

Okay, just a heads up.

Threats don’t exactly make
me more comfortable either.

Ask your questions.

Can we walk?

Fine.

Ask.

What’s the game plan?

The baby’s born, the gates open.
Then what?

There are a lot of humans.

Like 7 billion.

And I know that sounds like an
all you can eat buffet to you,

but it’s a whole lot of people

who aren’t going
to want to be on the menu.

Humans are stupid.

They have a tendency to stick
their heads in the sand.

We’ll have complete control
before they know it.

How are you going
to take control?

Once we open the gates,
all will come through

and there are millions of us.

There’s still more of us.

You mean more of them.

You think we haven’t
been planning this for decades?

Centuries?

We are everywhere.

Some have even willed themselves
into positions of power.

You’ve infiltrated
the government?

Local, federal, global.

It’s only a matter of time
until we have complete control.

We will fight back.

And yeah, the fae
may have more abilities than us,

but we have a reason
to fight no matter what.

And what reason is that?

Freedom.

Most humans will already
be bent to our will.

Human cannon fodder.

I’m done with this.

- It’s time.
- Wait, no.

I... We haven’t been out here
long enough.

I still have questions.

You’re only
delaying the inevitable.

I don’t have to feed.
You’ve made your point.

You clearly
haven’t gotten the point

if you keep referring
to yourself as a human.

It’s time for you
to remember what you are.

Ivy, stop.

Look at me.

You will do as I say.

Ivy, you need to wake up.

The prince is not here.

This will be your only
chance to escape.

What?

Oh...

I fed again.

I know.

If you keep feeding,
you’re going to get addicted.

Addicted?
What do you...

This will be the only chance
before the prince returns,

and your time is up,
he will be back in this bed.

The prince isn’t here?

No.

He left, taking
three Ancients with him.

We don’t have much time.

You’re going to help me escape?

All you need to know
right now is the Order

are not the only ones

that want to prevent
the gates from opening.

I couldn’t get a thorn stake,
but this will do.

This’ll do.

I will not kill any of them.

I will incapacitate,
but I will not kill.

I’m probably going to kill them.

Valor is occupied in
the back room at the moment.

Can you incapacitate quietly?

Because I can kill quietly.

What the hell?

Where are you two going?

Sorry.

You don’t have to kill them!

They don’t know any better.

We’re really going to have to
talk about that part later.

What? It didn’t kill her.

There’s a road about a mile out.

We’re going to have
to run, okay?

Stop!

- They’ll catch us.
- You’re right.

I’m killing this time.
It’s too risky not to.

Ivy, look out!

Did you really think
you could escape?

Uh, yeah.

Stupid.

Because of you,
she’s going to die

and you’ll wish
you would have been

smart enough to know better.

I can snap your neck
in a second!

I don’t think your prince would
be too happy about this.

He’s going to find
another halfling.

He’s going to think you escaped.

But in reality,
you’re gonna be dead.

Ivy.

Are you okay?
Ivy, it’s okay.

Everything’s okay.

- I don’t know if it’s you.
- It’s me.

I’ll explain everything later.

I just need you to trust me.

Why are there more fae?

We have to go.
We’ll lose this window.

Ivy!
Ivy!

Ivy?

Ivy! Ivy!

Oh, my Queen Mab.

I thought you were dead
or at least knocked up.

And I thought I’d be dead
because no one

but jerk face knew about me.

- Ivy, we need to go.
- I thought I’d starve to death.

- Tink.
- Just sitting at home

all by myself.

Not by myself.
But I was worried.

Wait, why are you
wearing a dress?

Come on, let’s go.

Yuck.

Are we going
to the old power plant?

Yes.

I’m Kalen.
This is Dane.

I’m Tink.
You guys know that.

I checked this place out.

It was on a map Merle drew.

Yeah, we know.

Merle is with us.

Safe.

You guys are the good fae?

I told you, not everything
is as it seems.

We do not use our abilities
to manipulate humans

beyond protecting what we are.

They age and die like humans.

I’m a brownie, therefore
I do not need to feed.

I just age very slowly.

I’m guessing you’re probably

still in your toddler
years, then.

I’ll have you know that
I’m 200 years old.

What?

Brownies can live to be
over a thousand years old.

In human years, he’s barely 20.

Eww, sticky.

But the power plant,
it’s run down and abandoned.

We only let you see
what we want you to see.

Keeps the humans away and allows
us to live in peace from...

From the Order.

Exactly.

The type of glamour
we’re using on the building

can’t be seen through.
No ward will break it.

We can protect you
from the prince.

But we cannot
put our people at risk.

Won’t your kind be at risk

once the prince
notices I’m missing?

The prince is not
our only concern.

The Order cannot know
where we are either.

- I won’t betray you.
- She won’t.

She kept me all this time
and never told anyone.

Renny Tin Tin didn’t
even know about me

until he walked down to
the kitchen naked

with his junk, all hanging out.

I’m going to punch you,
and it will hurt.

Oh, my God.

When I first saw it, I couldn’t
believe my eyes either.

They’ve been here a long time

and there are places like
this hidden everywhere.

You make it sound so creepy.
We’re not really everywhere.

That’s just
Ren being all ominous.

I think he’s socially awkward.

Or maybe just
intellectually stunted.

Terrible for my allergies.

Come on, let’s go.

Make sure you check with Kalen

that there’s extra fae
standing guard.

Absolutely.

What is this place?

It’s a safe haven.

Any one day we can house
one hundred fae or more.

Ivy needs to shower and rest.

What room could she stay in?

I think she would like the one
that overlooks the garden.

The garden room is fine.

I’ll get you your clothes.
I brought some.

And there’s a robe on the door.

It’s not yours, but it’s nicer.

Does the door lock?

From the inside.

You’re not being held
captive here, Ivy.

I’m not there anymore.

I’m not there anymore.

I brought you some weapons,

but don’t let the
other fae see them.

Iron kind of wigs them out.

I had to grab
the unmentionables.

So I sort of rifled
through your underwear.

Um, Tink?

What’s up with the sling.

I didn’t get it from Amazon.

Well, I got the
sling from Amazon

but not Dixon.

Dixon, meet Ivy.

Are you mad?

I’m not mad.

Get over here, you little fella.

Maybe you should tell
Tink what happened.

Can you just tell me first?

It’s not for kitten’s ears.

You left Wednesday morning
and that was it.

Then about a week later,
Ren showed up.

He didn’t know
how to get back to you.

Then a fae showed up.

Not a good one.

We took care of that together.

The fae said he was going
to bring Ren’s body

back to the prince.

We talked about
going to the Order,

but he knew
that wouldn’t be smart.

You told him what you are.

He would have
figured it out eventually.

But still, you lied to me.

Anyway, Kalen and
Dane showed up.

We tried to look for you.

You worked with Ren?

Well, I had to find my Ivy-divy.

Thank you.

It’s what friends do.

And it’s what
boyfriends do, right?

I don’t know if Ren is my...

I think he’s
just doing his duty.

I don’t think it was
just his duty.

He wanted to storm that house.

As much as it hurts
my soul to say this,

and yes,

I believe I have a soul filled
with glitter and rainbows,

I don’t think you’re giving him
enough credit.

He barely slept or ate.

He missed you, Ivy.

What happened to you?

A lot.

I know what the fae
are capable of.

But I know that you’re strong.

It’ll be okay.

I’m getting sleepy.

See you in the morning.

Come here, Dixon.

Renald.

Tinker Bell.

Meow, meow.

I should’ve gotten there sooner.

It’s not your fault.

You got there in time.

It is my fault.

I wasn’t paying attention.

I walked right into a damn trap.

And because of me,
that bastard was able

to get his hands on you.

I should have warned you.

I get why you didn’t.

I’m a member of the Elite.

Well, was a member.

Was?

I’ve been M.I.A. For weeks.

That’s not going
to go over well.

I doubt it’s going to go over
well for either of us.

I don’t give a fuck
about the Order.

I don’t want to talk about them.

I want to talk about us.

I’m kind of tired.

- I just...
- Don’t... shut me out, Ivy.

He pretended to be you.

After you left,
no one knew where you were

and you showed up.

I thought it was you.

And he said
he didn’t care what I was.

It didn’t matter what I was.

I was just so desperate
to believe you.

And I should have
known right then.

You’re being
too hard on himself.

He didn’t like beignets.

I should have known right then.

And he killed Henry,
snapped his neck.

If Henry hadn’t shown up, I...

Did he...

Did he touch you?

It didn’t get very far.

I’m going to fucking kill him.

I got out before he could...

It doesn’t change the fact
that he did things to you.

You sacrificed yourself for me,

and I couldn’t do anything
to stop him from hurting you.

He hurt you, too.

What do you remember?

I remember him feeding on me.

Not a whole lot.

But enough to have a
kill list a mile long.

Do you remember Breena?

The parasite with serious
boundary issues? Yeah.

She’s number two
on my kill list.

I gouged her eyes out.

Well, I tried.

You did?

You’re the bravest
person I know.

I’m not brave.

I just couldn’t
let them hurt you anymore.

I love you, Ivy.

What?

I’m in love with you.

I don’t know how long I’ve been
in love with you, but it was

probably after that night
you flipped me on my back

and held the dagger
to my throat.

You’re crazy.

Yeah, crazy in love with you.

I’m the halfling, Ren.

I know who you are.

You’re Ivy Morgan.

You’re this beautiful,
wild and brave woman.

And I don’t deserve your love.

But I’ll take it

and I won’t regret a damn
second of doing so.

When I was sitting
in that damn room

before my head got all foggy,

all I could think about was you,

getting back to you.

I didn’t give a shit
that you were the halfling.

You were sent here to find
and kill me.

I wouldn’t lay a finger on you
that you didn’t want there.

The prince made me do things.

I can’t imagine
what he made you do.

But I’m telling you right now,
that’s not going to change

- the way I feel...
- He made me feed on someone.

You see?

You can’t be
with someone who did that.

I hurt a woman.

I might have...

Oh, God, I...
I might have killed her.

And I could do that to you, too.

You would never do that to me.

You don’t know that.

Did you feed of your
own free will?

Or did he manipulate
you into doing it?

He forced me.

What if I hurt you?

I could never live with myself.

You would never hurt me
because I love you.

And because you love me, too.

Hey, it’s okay.

Ivy...

I got you.

I was beginning to wonder
if you were going to wake up.

How long was I sleeping?

You slept straight through
yesterday and last night.

Jeez, I didn’t mean to.

You needed the rest.

I’m sorry for crying
all over you.

Never apologize for that.

You wanna cry all over me again,

I’m right here.

You love me.

Sounds about right.

Do you have something
you want to say to me?

No, I don’t
have anything to say.

I love you.

That’s all I wanted to hear.

I do wish you were awake
yesterday, though,

just to bear witness
to what I saw.

What was that?

Tink fashioned some
kind of leash for that cat.

He was flying and walking and...

I’m pretty sure he was naked.

Oh, Lord.

When that cat gets bigger,
he will eat him.

One can only hope.

He’s kind of grown on me...

like a fungus.

Do you feel up to
talking to anyone?

Of course.

I feel like I need to wash
a layer of sleep off me.

You look beautiful.

You need to get
your head checked.

No.

I think you might want this
back, though.

The chain was broken,
so I got you a new one.

Thank you.

After you shower, we’ll go
and meet up with everyone, okay?

Ivy!

Oh!

I am so glad you’re okay.

Come on. Everyone’s here.

I mean, this is Tanner.
He runs the place.

Nice to finally meet you, Ivy.

Nice to meet you, too.

You look a bit shocked.

Yeah, I’m sorry.
I’m just a little out of it.

Understandable.

I also understand
it must be a bit shocking

to be here around my people.

We used to work side
by side with the Order,

but unfortunately that joining
didn’t last very long.

Our ancestors left
the other world

because they didn’t agree with
what the ruling court was doing.

They were killing our world,
turning all of us into monsters.

Most of the fae here are
descendants of the Summer Court.

They started escaping
because they were being hunted.

Hunted much like your friend
Tink and his kind.

The fact that
you took care of him

told me that we could trust you.

Did you guys try and
seek me out before this?

No.
Why do you ask?

Before the whole prince thing,

a fae followed me
into a parking garage.

A female fae showed up,
killed him

and then impaled herself
on my dagger.

That was not us.

I’ll see what I can find out.

Did he plant his seed?

Can you not phrase it
like that again, ever?

No.

I need to hear her say it.

He didn’t, I swear.

Good.

I would have hated
to have to kill you.

Mom!

What?

If she was caring
the prince’s child,

we would have had to kill her.

That is a fact.

We do not believe
in killing humans

no matter the circumstance.

Well, somebody should
tell Merle that.

Why did you tell Brighton
Ren would know what to do

with the info in the journals?

Because this young man
has trust in his eyes.

We know you’ve got
a lot of questions,

but we don’t want
to overwhelm you.

They know how to send the prince
back to the other world.

What?

When my family left, they took
a very powerful crystal

from the king’s throne,
which was then

given to the Order
for safekeeping.

Or at least
that’s what they said.

Their decision to move the
crystal without our permission

is what created a rift
between our kinds.

This crystal has the power
to send

the prince back to
the other world for good.

But we don’t know where it is.

Okay, so we... we find the
crystal, and then what?

Then we need the blood of
a halfling and of a royal.

Like a drop of halfling’s blood.

He’s still not happy
about that one.

Finding the crystal,
getting the prince’s blood,

and a drop of your blood
isn’t the hard part.

Well, it sounds pretty hard.

The ritual of the blood
in the crystal must be

completed in the other world.

We must open the gates.

Okay, have fun.

Dixon has a play date
with Auntie Faye.

There’s really not room
for three.

There’s totes room for three.

If you have a problem
with our closeness,

you’re more than
welcome to leave.

Yeah. I should have
let you starve.

Whatever.

Heard you met with Tanner.

He thinks I’m amazing.

Let’s ask him what he thinks
of you in a few days.

Hate the game, not the player.

That doesn’t even make sense.

I was worried about you,
Ivy-divy.

You slept like you were
a Disney princess

who ate a rotten apple.

I think you mean
a poisoned apple.

Same difference.

Prince Charming over there

couldn’t wake you up
with a kiss.

That’s all I know.

You’re going to need
more than a Prince Charming

when I beat you ass unconscious.

Ooh, so scared.

I, um...

I just want to thank you guys
for not giving up on me.

For looking for me and...

And for caring.

You don’t need to thank us.

You never need to
do that, sweetness.

For once, I agree
with the loser.

You’re gonna be okay.

’Course she will be.

She has us.

Yeah.

I’m going to be okay.

Aw, back together.
