Quinn and Brianna/The Breeze watch the coyotes race into town, with Drake leading them. Brianna shouts that Drake is going into the daycare to harm the little ones. Quinn aims, but with Drake only 30 feet away, he can’t pull the trigger.

Drake and the coyotes swarm the daycare. While the children cower, Mary reminds Drake that Caine said the children were a top priority and never to be harmed. He wraps his whip-like tentacle arm around Mary’s throat, which causes the kids to cry. Drake assures her the talking coyotes won’t eat the fresh “meat” if they listen. She struggles in his scaly grasp.

Caine and Diana wait in an abandoned house. Bug, a Coates student with the ability to camouflage, tells them Sam is standing outside the daycare eating. Caine thinks he’s plotting, but Diana believes Sam is waiting for their terms, since the daycare kids are hostages. Caine and Diana argue about what to do, with her stating that Caine keeps ignoring her advice. Diana says his desire for control and ego is absurd.

Caine orders everyone to leave them and then embraces Diana. He says he may die tonight and rushes in for a kiss. Diana pushes away, yet Caine holds her and says she owes him.
