It even manages to reach the ears of Roxy, a powerful girl who loathes the idea of another female rivaling her strength. She sends a mocking message to Allie, demanding to know the secrets behind her tricks and flaunting her own abilities. Despite Allie's invitation to join them at the convent and become part of their family, Roxy remains focused on flexing her muscles.

Amidst this turmoil, a group of nuns announces that they can no longer stay, leaving the convent in limbo. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, a fresh batch of girls arrives to join their ranks. However, Allie's friends turn their backs on Susannah, blaming her for uploading the video. But it's not the video itself that lands her in trouble.

Mrs. Montgomery airs a message directed solely at Allie, a broadcast that captivates the entire convent. Veronica rushes to contact Mrs. Montgomery, but Allie intervenes, using her electrical powers to infiltrate her mind and alter her neural pathways.

Susannah lashes out at Allie, accusing her of manipulating them all. Finally, Allie breaks her silence, revealing her tragic past - how her mother abandoned her at the tender age of three, forcing her to bounce from one foster home to another. She confesses to killing Mr. Montgomery, and her admission is met with a surprising lack of judgment. Instead, her friends remember how she baptized them, giving them a fresh start and a new lease on life. They continue to call her Eve and welcome her back into their fold with open arms.

Later, Maria searches for Veronica, who has been transformed by Eve's powers. She claims to have seen God in a blinding light, but soon her eyes begin to bleed. As Eve rushes out in panic, Veronica smiles, calling out to God before collapsing to the ground.

Meanwhile, Bernie commemorates Roxy's 18th birthday by presenting her with a generous gift - a third of his business. This lavish present is a testament to Roxy's fearsome abilities, which have intimidated a debtor into paying up what he owes.

Later on, Roxy engaged in a meaningful conversation with her mother's former colleagues. They revealed to her that her mother had been romantically involved with a man named Derek Rena, and the two had even discussed tying the knot. As she processed this new information, Ricky surprised her with a sum of ten thousand dollars, confessing that he had never wanted her presence at his wedding. Adding to the complexity of the situation, Bernie had insisted that Roxy vacate her mother's house on the fateful night of her murder.

Meanwhile, the Cleary-Lopez family was grappling with the aftermath of the devastating fire. A camera crew arrived at their home to capture their life as a family, but the endeavor turned out to be a disastrous one. Matty refused to participate in the filming, preferring to remain in his room where he uploaded footage of Ryan exercising his unusual abilities.

Helen informed Margot that they had traced hostile comments on her social media back to Jos. Margot confronted Jos about her posts, and Jos explained that she had been upset at the time, feeling like she had been forced into the role of a public figure's daughter. She had requested Margot to refrain from posting certain things, but Margot had ignored her wishes. Feeling exploited by her mother, Jos had acted out. Margot listened sympathetically and apologized for her actions.

Rob realized that it was time for them to spend quality time together as a family, away from the scrutiny of a camera. So, he spontaneously decided to take them on a camping trip. However, during their outing, Jos discovered that Ryan had become a sensation on UrbanDox due to Matty's actions. Jos attempted to lash out at him, but Margot intervened, utilizing her own abilities to restrain her.

Seeing Margot withhold her powers from him, Rob felt angered and betrayed. He accused her of only caring about power. But Margot refused to apologize for her actions. She desired power, but she also wanted to make a positive impact on people's lives. Although Rob had not signed up for this, Margot convinced him that she couldn't pull off the campaign without his support. He promised to stand by her until the end, but made it clear that he wanted a divorce after the election.

In Carpathia, Tunde submitted his coverage to Declan and accompanied him to meet Viktor in order to interview Tatiana. However, before he could interrogate Tatiana about Zoia, guards intervened and escorted them away. It turned out that they had discovered Tunde's negative coverage of Moskalev. In an attempt to save himself, Declan abandoned Tunde and accused him of deception.

Viktor's brutality reached a new level when he kicked Tatiana's dog and talked about teaching Zoia a harsh lesson. This was the final straw for Tatiana, who grabbed a heavy block and repeatedly bashed Viktor's head with it until he lay lifeless. She summoned her stylist, Solongo, to her room and handed her the murder weapon. She promised to help Solongo's brother out of jail, but moments later, Tatiana electrocuted Solongo and positioned her lifeless body over Viktor's. Grabbing her phone, Tatiana feigned tears and cried out, falsely accusing Solongo of murdering her husband.
