Faith tells her that she will find her mother. Jayne questions if she will ever do as every lead she has followed was always a dead end. Faith tells Jayne to remain hopeful.

Charlotte says that she still is having nightmares and she feels something dark is coming. Verona assures her that she's safe with her and Jayne. Charlotte changes the subject by asking Verona if she and her boyfriend Holden are going on a date tonight. Verona smiles and tells her that Holden is planning a surprise for her. She thinks that he's finally going to propose. Charlotte is shocked by this revelation and tells her to be careful. Verona asks Charlotte why she still doesn't trust Holden while Jayne is very supportive of their relationship.

Ben tells her that the texts reveal that "the promised child" was born out of an union between "the destroyer" and a siren which is a servant of the Devil.
