On the morning after her confrontation with Tobias, Cecelia wakes sluggishly to find her bags packed. As she struggles to regain her balance and wonders at her sudden clumsiness, she notes the presence of medical pads on her shoulder blades and sees that they are covering a fresh tattoo of raven’s wings. Infuriated, she realizes that the Ravenhood group drugged her and branded her. Enraged, she immediately quits her job via email.
In her determination to exact revenge on The Ravenhood for their violation of her person, Cecelia slashes the tires on all of the brotherhood’s vehicles, then throws bottles at the doors of their garage to draw them out. The group emerges; the full roll call of members includes Sean, Dominic, Tyler, Jeremy, Russell, and Layla. Layla tries to calm Cecelia down but fails. Cecelia brandishes a Molotov cocktail and demands to know who tattooed her. Suddenly, Dominic is distracted by an urgent phone call, and Cecelia throws the Molotov cocktail, creating a wall of fire that allows her to escape in her Jeep.
Returning to her house near dawn, Cecelia plans to leave, but her efforts are interrupted when Dominic appears in her bedroom. He places his gun on the stairs to show that he means her no harm.
