Lucy Ripley had been a dear friend as well, which is why they were surprised when they saw Audrey, because she looks just like her. Leith never told Mary about the family secret because she is a follower of Driscoll.

Audrey and Nathan go to the compound.

Audrey and Nathan go to the compound. Nathan notes that it is strange that none of the children are present, since they are home-schooled. Cole Glendower and his wife Gwen (Leith's parents) come out, doing a double take when they see Audrey. They tell them about Leith's death and show them the note, but Gwen dismisses the note as meaningless. Nathan asks where Daniel is, and the couple says that he is fine and that they will take custody of him now that his father is dead. Nathan demands to see Daniel, but two Glendower men come out with guns. Cole tells Nathan and Audrey that they are not welcome unless they get a warrant. As they walk back to their car, the boy who had been tossed into the water walks up and says that they can't have Daniel because he is one of them now.

Nathan finds that Mary told Reverend Driscoll what happened when Daniel sent her a text confirming that he is at the compound. The Rev and his followers are planning to storm the compound and take Daniel by force. Nathan asks them to wait for a peaceful solution, but the Rev says that the Glendowers are filth and must be destroyed. Nathan appeals to Mary, who reluctantly agrees to wait. The Rev says that with Daniel's soul at stake, they won't wait forever.

Duke visits them at the station, because he heard that the dead man had the tattoo. They show Duke the photo, but he doesn't recognize him or the woman. A search confirms that the woman in the photo is Mary Collins, who works at the soup kitchen out of Reverend Driscoll's church.

The officers visit Mary, who says that the man was Leith Glendower, her ex-husband. She has no idea what the tattoo means and has no idea why he would kill himself, as they were still on good terms and had joint-custody of their son Daniel. She leaves to make a call. Nathan explains that the Glendowers live outside of Haven in a compound. His dad Garland had been on good terms with them and often visited, sometimes bringing him along. Mary comes back and says that Daniel never showed up for school, and he's not answering his cellphone. Daniel had been staying at the Glendower compound and Leith was supposed to pick him up.

Audrey and Nathan go to the compound.
