Damian regenerates and he feeds on Thom's blood. The next day, a partially-sighted Sheriff Trout returns to active duty and inspects Spivey's dead body. Thom stops by Trout's house and meets Ian. Thom calls the sheriff and asks for his help with getting Laura released from jail and the history about the Lair. Laura has a hearing where the judge releases on her own recognizance because Jimmy's body is missing from the morgue. Richie drives Laura to Thom's place, but Thom, busy covering his windows with dark plastic, is short with her and she leaves. Inside, Damian warns Thom to keep Richie away. Meanwhile, Ian meets Tim at a bar and they strike up an acquaintanceship. Tim tells him about the mystical flower. Ian gives Tim a ride home and the mysterious mainlander tracks Ian's car electronically. Jake spots Ian and Tim together and fumes. Elsewhere, Frankie's ghost confronts Colin and forces him to admit that he buried Frankie alive. Frankie shows him that Damian is gone and that in two days Colin will be destroyed.
