When Sam gets home, she turns down Jaxon's offer to go to a friend’s house, hoping that Elijah has information. Her talk with Elijah is overheard by Vivian, who asks who she was talking to in the foyer. Vivian is in a good mood and has brought food to celebrate her father's transfer, but Sam says she's not hungry and goes to her room. Elijah says he's made sense of the death records. While he explains what he found, Sam notices how handsome he is, despite being arrogant. He explains that deaths occur when at least one descendant from each major family involved in the witch trials is in Salem. There have been seven descendent deaths since Sam moved there: The Mather family was the only missing lineage. Sam remembers John's great-grandfather dying soon after her arrival and hopes her father is okay.
At the hospital, Sam talks to her unconscious father. When she touches his hand, his heart monitor rises, and the nurses force Sam to leave the room. Sam remembers kids from school cutting off one of her braids; her father cut his hair to match hers. The nurses tell Sam and Vivian that Charles is stable for now, but they should wait a few days before visiting again.
