The episode kicks off with Anthony Brewer (David Schwimmer) meticulously examining the room where Matty Brewer (Christopher Paul Richards) vanished, observing not just the freshness of some equipment but also the eerie presence of electricity. After tinkering with a circuit board, he manages to uncover a hidden underground chamber. A surge of dark, oily liquid bursts forth, prompting Anthony to swiftly shut it again. As he exits the room, Cece (Jayden Bartels) and Devin Brewer (Sam McCarthy) catch him in the act.
At the restaurant, CJ (Elijah M. Cooper) spins an ingenious tale of horror to justify his failure to deliver Mrs. Murray's (Brooke Dillman) order the previous night. His mother, Gwen (Ayana George), remains unconvinced, sparking a heated debate where CJ insists he's meant for management, not delivery duties. Despite CJ's struggles with deliveries, Gwen assures him she'll discuss a promotion with his father.
Frankie (Galilea La Salvia) stirs Devin and Cece from their slumber, as she prepares for work. Their hurried conversation about Anthony's next steps is interrupted by Jen (Ana Ortiz), who inquiries if Alex (Francesca Noel) faced an assailant during her ride in Trey Jimenez's (Stony Blyden) car. Alex corrects her, stating it was something, not someone, that attacked her. To Alex's astonishment, her mother believes her and hints that the recent strange occurrences might be linked to friends who went missing in 1994. She vows to uncover the truth.
Just as Frankie, Cece, and Devin delve into a discussion about Trey and his mysterious car, Joe Jr. (Wayne Lopez) bursts in, animatedly discussing Trey's release. Meanwhile, Anthony awakens with a hint of a cold and calls Gwen to order a hearty bowl of chicken soup. Moments later, CJ arrives with the delivery. Initially, everything seems ordinary until Anthony beckons CJ inside for payment. After an unsettling silence, Anthony turns to reveal his eyeball dangling precariously from its socket.
Gwendolyn's restaurant is bursting at the seams, yet no patrons are receiving their meals, all thanks to CJ, who's absent without leave. When he finally arrives, concocting another bizarre tale, Gwen refuses to believe him. Frustration bubbles over, and she drags CJ to Anthony's house for verification. Surprisingly, Anthony is perfectly fine, a revelation that only fuels Gwen's anger further. She strips CJ of his managerial duties, confiscates his keys and phone, and terminates his position as a delivery driver.
Later, Anthony phones the restaurant, requesting CJ's return to his residence for an explanation. Upon arrival, CJ discovers Anthony doesn't recall making the call. Instead, Anthony urges CJ to flee, abruptly pulling him inside. Meanwhile, Frankie, Devin, and Cece visit Alex at her community service site, hoping to discuss Trey's car. However, Alex shuts them down, uninterested in revisiting the topic, even after Cece apologizes for her initial skepticism. Elsewhere, Jen visits a clandestine location, retrieving a tin box sealed in a Ziploc bag.
In the park, Devin encounters Hannah Parker (Eloise Payet), while Frankie confronts Trey about their relationship and his last recollections. He declares his love for her and mentions Anthony's freezer as his final memory, prompting Frankie to summon Devin home.
Anthony imprisons CJ in the confined space of his basement, forcing him to swallow a revolting, greasy substance that he promptly regurgitates in disgust. Their heated confrontation is abruptly interrupted by Jen's arrival, brandishing the tape from the night Matty mysteriously disappeared. Anthony's fury erupts like a volcano., dismissing her and sending her away. Returning to the basement, he discovers CJ has freed himself from his bonds. In a matter of seconds, CJ ambushes Anthony but fails to escape. Anthony regains the upper hand, ready to force-feed CJ the vile substance, but Trey intervenes with a baseball bat, literally severing Anthony's head. They grapple with the macabre sight before fleeing upstairs. There, they find the VHS tape Jen left behind.
After a hurried discussion about the tape's contents, Devin suggests watching it at Naomi Brewer's place (Barbara Walsh). Frankie calls Alex, inviting her to join them. Meanwhile, Devin excuses himself to seek out Hannah. Suddenly, the mysterious doctor from Trey's room appears in Anthony's basement, claiming she can thwart his plans. The episode concludes with this intriguing revelation.
