He passes the boy into the care of Reid, Jackson and Susan, and they manage to uncover information which they believe could lead them to Nathaniel. When they arrive at the Sumner's house, they find it has been meticulously cleaned and the two bodies disposed of. Shine is not far behind, however, but is surprised to learn of the true identity of the hugger. With Reid's information, he confronts Dove and discovers that the rumour of his brother's animal tendencies is true. Dove, however, persuades Shine that Reid is the bigger threat.

Reid, meanwhile, is the victim of a trap set by Shine.
