Beverly Hope reports on Kai's assault which was caught on camera. Kai announces his campaign for a seat on the city council. The Wiltons move into the Chang's former home. They invite Oz over to see Harrison's colony of bees. Harrison discloses to Ally and Ivy that he is gay.
Roger, the sous-chef at the Butchery on Main, bickers with a Hispanic employee named Pedro. Later that night, after the Butchery's security alarm trips, Ally discovers Roger hanging on a hook in the meat locker. Detective Samuels singles out Pedro as the most likely suspect. Afterwards, Kai canvasses at Ally's doorstep. Kai unnervingly belittles her political positions.
That night, Winter offers Oz advice on overcoming nightmares and draws a bath for Ally. Winter attempts to seduce Ally but is interrupted by the power going out. Harrison alleges that there is a multi-state power outage. Winter flees and abandons Ally by herself with Oz. Ivy, after a frantic phone call with Ally is cut short by Ally's phone dying, sends Pedro to the house with a charger and some other supplies. Ally is terrorized by multiple clowns before grabbing Oz and planning to vacate. Upon opening the backdoor, Ally instinctively shoots Pedro with the gun, which had been lent to her by the Wiltons.
