Beautiful Venom

Kane panics when he loses track of Dahlia. He races to the science lab and finds her crumpled in the corner, crying and distraught. She tells him she’s only upset about Violet. Kane comforts her, and Dahlia invites him to accompany her to Maine—she hasn’t returned since her parents’ deaths.

Kane and Dahlia take a road trip to Maine. They listen to music, talk, and joke. Kane delights in Dahlia’s presence and is thrilled to see where she was born. When they arrive, they take a hike. At the mountaintop, Dahlia calls out to her parents over the canyon. She thanks Kane for accompanying her and admits how much she likes him. He reciprocates the sentiment.

Later, Kane waits in the car while Dahlia says hello to one of her late father’s friends. He checks his phone and discovers frantic messages from Jude, revealing that Violet is missing. He’s convinced that Grant and Julian are behind the kidnapping and are using Dahlia. Horrified, Kane realizes Dahlia has been trying to say goodbye to him all day.
