Meanwhile, Sugar awakens, transformed into his human form, to find Melanie watching over him with concern. She reveals that while he slept, he spoke in an unfamiliar tongue. Elsewhere, the mournful atmosphere of David's funeral hangs heavy in the air. Bernie's suspicions grow stronger as Olivia's absence becomes increasingly unexplained. Little do they know, Olivia lies trapped in a shadowy recess beneath the floorboards, her captor gesturing for her to rise as they lift a section of the flooring.

Melanie returns to Sugar's abode with steaming coffee, but her peaceful errand is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Miller. He arrives with a contingent of individuals, and without warning, they force open the door, launching a surprise attack on Sugar. Despite the onslaught, Sugar and Melanie manage a narrow escape, fleeing the chaos.

Sugar attempts to explain the situation to Melanie, revealing that he and others are part of a clandestine organization, though he remains tight-lipped about its specifics. Melanie's instincts lead her to conclude that they are spies, but Sugar insists they are merely observers. Realizing that Miller will likely target Henry next, Sugar rushes to the university where his friend works. However, they arrive too late, finding only an empty workspace where Henry once stood.

Sugar steers them to the residence of a man named Moss, who holds ties to Stallings. Their hopes are dashed when they discover only his lifeless body. Returning to the hotel, Sugar resolves to search for Olivia once more, while Melanie remains behind to safeguard their sanctuary.

Driven by a sense of urgency, Sugar trails Miller to Ruby's house, his thoughts turning inward as he ponders the changes this place - Earth? - has wrought upon them all. They were meant to be peaceful observers, but now they are caught in a web of intrigue and danger. Inside Ruby's house, Sugar finds his compatriots gathered, and Ruby delivers a stunning revelation: their home planet has summoned them back, and their mission here is at an end.

Sugar's anger flares, demanding answers about Olivia's whereabouts. Henry steps forward, offering a clue: he knows where she is and shares an address with Sugar. Now armed with new information, Sugar prepares to embark on a perilous quest to find Olivia and unravel the mysteries surrounding their mission on Earth.

Henry unveils a shocking truth: the son of a powerful politician has discovered their extraterrestrial existence, and it is this individual who is responsible for Olivia's perilous situation. The aliens have been shielding this person from revelation, fearing the consequences of exposing the truth.

Henry presses Sugar for details about the three individuals he killed at Stallings' residence. Sugar confesses that the first two deaths were acts of self-defense, but the third was a cold-blooded murder, committed on a whim. Henry urges Sugar to intervene and rescue Olivia, promising that they will return to their home planet afterward.

Sugar follows the trail to the residence of a US senator. While snooping around, he is caught red-handed by a vigilant officer. Sugar manages to persuade the officer to search the house for Olivia, hoping to find clues to her whereabouts. Upon spotting a nearby photograph, Sugar realizes with a shock that the officer is none other than the senator's son.

Confronting the young man, Ryan, Sugar demands the truth. Ryan refuses to back down, and a fierce altercation erupts between them. In the heat of the moment, Ryan, unwilling to surrender, raises a gun and shoots himself in the head, leaving Sugar stunned.

Sugar continues his search through the senator's house, his heart heavy with the realization of Ryan's fate. He stumbles upon a grisly discovery: a collection of torture implements, testament to the senator's dark secrets. Beneath a staircase, he finds a locked door and forcibly breaks it open. Inside, the air is thick with foreboding. Sugar calls out Olivia's name, his voice echoing through the silent chamber, hoping against hope that she is still alive.
