Marielle begins to destroy the room at Colony House, believing something is in there with her before she calms down with help from Kristi. She then asks Kristi to strap her down to the bed.

Reggie repeatedly yells at the people at Colony House to stay awake, scaring them.

With Marielle unresponsive but breathing, Boyd tries to comfort Kristi before Ellis calls him to speak with Elgin.

At Tian Chen's, Julies starts screaming, seemingly being attacked by the cicadas, though no one can see them.
