- Judy sends her daughter Mandy off to school. She says good-bye to her "Uncle Darryl," as she leaves. Judy knows he's Joe Carroll, but is more concerned that he's doing Mandy's homework than the fact he's a serial killer. Joe was up all last night watching the news reports about the subway murders. He assures her the cult is behind him and he's happy there with Judy.
At home, Ryan tends to his wounded shoulder and looks up Lily Gray, the art dealer who survived the subway attacks.
At FBI HQ, Mike, Agent Phillips and Agent Mendez try to understand the woman posed on the park bench. They know from neighbors that the killers spent the day with her.

Ryan tries to figure out how Lily might know Joe. She doesn't think she does. She looked up Ryan and knows he's not with the FBI any more, but she understands how it must be hard for him.
In the woods, Judy finishes up in the sack with her client, the local reverend. When he's finished the reverend sits down outside with her "brother" Darryl, wearing his thick beard, dark shades and camo hat. The reverend thinks Darryl's a vet of the war in Afghanistan and extends a hand to pray for him.
Mandy comes home from school and gets leered at by the reverend as he leaves.
In Burlington County, New Jersey, Emma is a mood about not knowing what Carlos is up to. She's desperate to find other cult members. She looks up something in the Baltimore Gazette online.
At their latest scene, Luke and Mark prepare a fancy meal for the dead Fishers, whom they have strapped to chairs. Luke carries on a conversation with them like they're his parents, suggesting Mark tell them about the girl they met -- Heather, their last victim.
Ryan comes home to his apartment to find his niece Max waiting for him. She found the Joe mask he has. She tries again to get him to go to the FBI, but he worries that he has no evidence about his theory that Joe is alive.
Back in the woods, Judy heads out for a "date," leaving Joe with Mandy. He drops the Darryl act the second Judy leaves and Mandy turns over her tablet. Joe goes to a lost and found forum to find a message.
Mandy asks what it's like to kill someone, but Joe says her mom would kill him if he answered. She tells him her mom thinks she can fix him, which is why she wrote him all those letters in prison. She asks him if he's planning to leave, because it's better when he's there. He gives her a fatherly hug.
Back with the Fishers, the creep twins set the Fishers up in front of a roaring fire, with a drink and cigar for the dad. Luke tells Mr. Fisher he loves him, then checks to see if Mark is ready.
Ryan's phone rings. It's Luke, calling to introduce himself. He tells Ryan they'll be meeting very soon.
Luke asks Ryan what he thought of their work so far. Ryan asks what Joe thought of it, which seems to surprise Luke. He hangs up, but Max is still able to trace the call to an apartment building. Ryan won't let her call the police until he checks it out.
Ryan goes to a boarded up brownstone and goes in with his gun drawn. He calls Max, who says the cell signal is still there. Ryan goes up to the roof where he finds an empty pizza box and spying equipment. A phone at his feet rings.
He looks across the street and sees a twin in a Joe mask. Ryan tells Max where to send the police and goes to investigate. He finds the dead Fishers in front of the fire but hears a noise coming from upstairs.
He finds their young son barricaded in the closet, unhurt.
At the cabin, Joe and Mandy watch a TV documentary about his murders. "Did you play too many video games growing up?" she asks him, not afraid.
The reverend drops by, looking for Judy. He makes himself at home to wait for her.
At the Fishers', the FBI is finally on the scene and Agent Phillips is angry at Ryan for insinuating himself in the case. Mike tries to talk it over with Ryan, but he leaves.
Once he's outside, Ryan gets a call from Luke. He psycho analyzes him, thinking he's trying to lure Joe out to serve as a father figure. Luke taunts Ryan about the fact everyone near him dies, and mentions Lily Gray. Luke is watching over her at an event.
At the cabin, the reverend watches as Carrie Cooke, author of "The Havenport Tragedy" psychoanalyzes Joe. Joe sees his own face staring back at them and turns the TV off. The reverend makes a quick excuse and leaves.
Joe follows him out as Mandy tells Joe not to hurt him.
Joe drags the reverend out of his car and punches him, but he gets in a good hit on Joe. Just then, Mandy comes up behind the reverend and whacks him with a shovel.
Back in the cabin, Joe has the reverend tied to a chair and thinks he presents a quandary. Mandy is still asking Joe not to kill him.
Joe talks about failing as a writer, husband and father and just stewing on those things over the past year. Joe continues debating the reverend's fate.
Ryan rushes into the charity gala where Lily is speaking. Luke and Mark are both in the crowd. Ryan talks on the phone to Mark as he keeps one eye on Lily and scans the crowd with the other. From across the room, he locks eyes with Mark, who smiles and says over the phone it's nice to meet him.
When Ryan looks back to Lily he doesn't see her. He approaches an undercover FBI agent and tells him to secure Lily. Meanwhile, a man escorts Lily down to her car as one of the twins follows. When Lily and her escort are alone in a corridor, they turn and see a twin behind him in a Joe Carroll mask.
Lily freaks out and they run, but are cut off by the other Joe-mask wearing twin. Lily's escort tries to protect her and takes on a twin, only to get stabs for his troubles. Lily doubles back and runs into Ryan, who hands her off the FBI agents behind him and chases the twins. He finds the wounded man, but before he can tend to him, one of the twins attacks.
Ryan gets the better of him and pulls his mask off, then Luke steps out and kicks Ryan off his brother. Mark is shaken and turns to run, but Luke, the more brash of the twins, stops for a moment to gloat to Ryan.
By the time Luke runs, Ryan has grabbed a nearby gun and fires after him, grazing Luke as he runs.
Later, the FBI is on the scene. Lily's escort, David, is in the hospital and is expected to survive. The twins got away clean.
Mike sees Ryan talking to an agent and interrupts to chew him out for not involving the FBI. When Ryan finally tries to be helpful, Mike shuts him down, telling him to talk to Mendez.
Ryan sits down with Lily and apologizes for taking risks with her life. She only thinks he helped save David.
At the cabin, Joe digs through the kitchen and comes out with two knives. The reverend tries to appeal to his humanity. Joe laments thinking he could start over. "The reality is that I am inevitable," Joe says as he drives a knife into the reverend's chest.
Mandy watches, terrified, as the reverend screams and seems to take forever to die.
Joe looks at the decoded phone number he got from the online lost ad.
In the hotel room, the burner phone marked "Joe" rings. Carlos answers, but it's not Joe -- it's Emma, she knew to check the ad, too. Carlos asks if she's with Joe.
"Carlos, Joe's dead," Emma says.
Gisele takes the phone from Carlos and hangs up.
At the cabin, Joe relishes his kill, then he sits down next to Mandy, who is quaking on the couch, and wraps his arms around her as they both stare at the dead reverend's body. "Mama's gonna be home soon, she's gonna be mad," Mandy says.
