Opening quote: "‘Let me out, let me out,’ the spirit cried. And the boy, thinking no evil, drew the cork out of the bottle."
Nick (David Giuntoli) wakes from a happy dream in which Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) has got her memories back. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), still running the spice shop, receives instructions from Rosalee (Bree Turner) to prepare a special order. He does so, but uses an incorrect ingredient. Later, he realizes his mistake and needs her help with an antidote.
William (Josh Stewart) picks up his daughter, April (Jade Pettyjohn), and they go to a gas station. William's cards are rejected, frustrating him. The station attendant is killed violently. Wu (Reggie Lee) views video footage showing William smashing cameras, but manages to find his truck's plates. Meanwhile, William and April have hitchhiked a ride.
Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) raid William's house to find his wife, Lilly (October Moore), badly beaten. They surmise that William beat her and took April. Juliette visits the police station and greets everyone, hoping it will help restore her memories. When Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) greets her, she feels a moment of tension. Renard gets a call from Adalind (Claire Coffee), who demands the name of her mother's murderer. He deflects and instead demands to know what she did to Juliette. She taunts him, saying he is going to "have some fun". After hanging up, Renard realizes he has typed Juliette's name repeatedly on the computer.
Wu discovers that William has been ordering items for an underground construction. Nick introduces Hank to the trailer. He tells him that it was Monroe who saved him from Stark and Hank acknowledges that he owes Monroe his life. They find April and take her into custody while William visits his wife in the hospital. Nick and Hank arrive there to arrest him, but learn it was April who attacked Lilly and killed the gas station attendant. She is going through an "early change" in discovering her Wesen (Drang-zorn) identity.
April is provisionally placed with a foster family but attacks the father when he tries to discipline her. A Drang-zorn friend of Monroe's who is a guard at the local juvie comes to see Nick and promises to take April under her wing.
The episode ends as Nick goes home and joins Juliette for dinner. They dance and briefly kiss, but Juliette sees Renard's face in place of Nick's. She backs away, confused - and confusing Nick.
