Krone discovers which children are aware of the House’s secret. But rather than alert Isabella, Krone proposes an alliance with Norman, Emma and the others to help meet each other’s goals.

Krone receives a letter from the Grace Field headquarters and departs from the House. Later on, Emma and Norman go to inspect the wall surrounding the House while Ray attempts to distract Isabella.

Emma loses yet another ally and friend, and in the brink of despair, Mom pays her a visit in the infirmary.

Emma and the other escapees manage to survive the attack on the shelter. Now they have settled in an abandoned temple a short ways from a demon town. Unlike the shelter and Grace Field House, here there is a limited supply of food, and they are barely surviving.
