Zane is furious that Kent’s death has been attributed to dying by suicide, as he feels that he has been “discredited.” Juniper, more pragmatic, argues that the lack of attention will work in their favor. Zane jokes that Leon will be jealous that Juniper got to kill Kent. As Juniper goes to purchase breakfast, she reflects that the power to feel vulnerable and safe with Zane is more impactful than the power of wielding a weapon.
Juniper sees Victoria, looking battered, walking nearby. When Victoria spots Juniper, she flees in terror, and Juniper follows her. A car pulls up beside Victoria, and Jeremiah and two other men get out. They seize Victoria and shove her into the car as she fights furiously. Juniper follows them as they head toward the mine, growing fretful when she realizes that she forgot her phone and can’t contact Zane. She considers returning home for him but fears giving Jeremiah the chance to sacrifice Victoria.
Juniper struggles with memories and fear as she follows Victoria and the Libiri. She senses a Watcher but ignores it, reminding herself to stay calm. From a side room, she spies on Jeremiah preparing to sacrifice his sister.
