A phone call from Corinna leads Jay to believe that there are cracks appearing in the Hodel case; Fauna feels closer than ever to finding her mother, Tamar, and wonders if an invitation to a Happening might be an opportunity for more information.

When Fauna hears what happened to Jimmy Lee, she frantically searches for a way home. As Watts explodes around her into chaotic riots, Fauna's way out harbors a nightmarish trap. Jay stews in a cell that overflows with rioters, his options diminishing as the hours pass, until he hatches a desperate plan.
