Harlowe orders the agents to arrest Maria, then tries to convince Amari to work with her. Harlowe plans to make Amari a star, but Amari refuses. When Harlowe threatens to send Maria to the Sightless Depths if Amari does not cooperate, Amari reluctantly acquiesces. Harlowe makes Maria’s arrest public and tells everyone that Amari was the one who turned her in, which Amari has to confirm to protect Maria.

At dinner, Amari and Elsie receive an urgent text from Lara and run up to her room together. The shade has turned Lara’s bedroom inside out by bouncing all over the place. They call Jayden for help, and he immediately soothes the little creature and names him Shadow. The conversation then turns toward Amari and Elsie’s time freeze investigation, and Lara and Jayden both decide to join in. They agree that Amari and Elsie will look into the first time freeze from the Ancient Wars, Jayden will scout for a hidden location for them to meet, and Lara will try to figure out a way for them to sneak into the Supernatural Congress to examine the scene of the freeze.
