Esme and Phill pulled up in a news van pulled up just after Rudy shot and killed Josué. Esme quickly discovered that Rudy had been shot, but not by Josué, he had been shot the night before in the parking lot outside the warehouse. Rudy had killed one of Familia then, and now he had killed its leader. Rudy was passed out for roughly 12 hours before coming to. Esme learned that her car was totaled. She took it well enough due to the extenuating situation at hand. Phil dropped Esme, Benny, and Rudy off at the hospital where they all spend the night, and dropped Violet and Daniela off at Daniela’s apartment.
In the late morning Daniela went to meet with Dr. Mason for brunch. She learned that the dust collected from Lucy’s was not supernatural in anyway. She spoke with Dr. Mason about Legion and the possibility of attempting an exorcism. Dr. Mason offered to help her with anything short of participating in the exorcism. He left Daniela with words of caution and a verse from Ephesians – The Armor of God.
Meanwhile Violet called her parents’ house to speak with her father about the night of the arson. She did her best to keep the true purpose of her call from her father, but in the end she was forced to reveal that she was in Chicago and that she was embroiled in a conflict with Francisco. Her father confirmed the majority of the events of the arson, and eventually recalled that he remembered Francisco attempting to stop Josué from harming him. Her father was thrown back by a blast that obscured his memory of the evening after the fire began. Violet struggled to end the conversation, eventually she was forced to hang up on her father as he pleaded with her to come home.
When Violet and Daniela got back together they began to hatch their plan to trap Legion/Frankie. However they needed some supernatural advice, and also a vessel into which they could cast Legion after they exorcised him from Frankie. Violet knew of a botanica in the barrio, so she and Daniela set off to visit it.
The botanica didn’t look very different but it had changed owners since Violet was last there. A young skinhead punk with a roiling tattoo that climbed up his neck was the proprietor now and he tried to shoo them away immediately. Violet soothed his frustration by speaking Spanish with him and telling him that she used to know Old Man Montoya, the previous owner. The skinhead began to take the two women seriously once Daniela recognized that the punk had use the word Thaumaturgy (miracle-worker, magician) to describe Frankie’s abilities.
The women eventually purchased totem from the skinhead. The totem was a frightening carving, about a foot tall, of a man in the fetal position. The skinhead himself was leery of the object, and told the two women that he didn’t ever want to see it again. Violet and Daniela left the botanica to make the final preparations to set a trap for Legion/Frankie.
