Phoebe is outside the Seagreen Press gates, spying on suspicious activity: Three of the company’s employees are loading boxes into a car. Silas arrives, demanding to know what Phoebe is doing. She draws his attention to the covert activity but agrees to call it quits for the day as an amateur spy, at which point Silas consents to drive her home. On their way, they come across the investigation scene of another poisoning. Phoebe sees a figure in a black coat, who leaves hurriedly and ducks into a car. She notices that the car has the same plates as the one she was surveilling at the press office. She and Silas tail the car to see where it’s going.
Meanwhile, Rosalind and Orion arrive home from work. Lao Lao has prepared dinner for them, but Rosalind immediately goes to her bedroom, closes the door, and starts to brew poison for her arsenal. After Orion eats, he joins her and tries to fall asleep at eight o’ clock. Rosalind sends him to sleep on the couch so that she can finish her work in private.
Late that night, Celia is still at the photo shop. She’s checking Communist map coordinates for the district and finds some strange anomalies.
