Genevieve and Luci walk home through the Garden District toward Grimm Manor, discussing the impending visit from Rowin’s brothers, Grave and Sevin, who are focused on finding a cure for their mother. Genevieve notes that time is short; Knox’s forced final dose of the Fix bought only limited time, and Grave’s frantic search has yielded nothing. Luci now lives at Grimm Manor after her own recent troubles, and Umbra has become more attached to Genevieve.

Inside, Rowin greets Genevieve with an enthusiastic kiss after two weeks apart, having been traveling with Grave and Sevin to chase leads. The family’s freedom from Knox is confirmed, though Barrington remains missing since Knox’s Hellmouth vanished, worrying Genevieve. Grave arrives, coolly acknowledging Luci, followed by Sevin, who greets Genevieve exuberantly and hands her a gossip-filled letter from Ellin that he has already read.

Salem appears, smelling of tobacco, and calls for Ophelia, who descends to join them. There is light banter about Genevieve’s restored memories and impulsive marriage to Rowin, which had angered Ophelia when she first learned of it. Salem pointedly greets Rowin, underscoring the uneasy truce after learning the full extent of Enchantra’s events and Salem’s father’s message.

Turning to business, Rowin reports a rumor that one of the cures is held by a member of the Daemonica. Sevin declares he will pledge to this elite Demon institution to gain access, while Grave argues he should be the one to go. Rowin insists on a divide-and-conquer strategy and says Sevin’s temperament suits the Daemonica better, while Sevin teases Grave for being no fun. Grave bristles but does not prevail.

Salem invites everyone for a drink in the drawing room, and as the others move away, Genevieve pauses with Rowin. She admits how much she missed him, and their flirtation turns heated. Rowin picks her up and carries her upstairs, and Genevieve feels grateful for the light they have found after the darkness they endured.
