Parkman's. He's getting drunker and drunker and Sylon's disappearing. He's telling Sylon about the alcohol he's drinking, which he bought on an anniversary with Janice to Ensenada. Parkman think it's poetic he's using it to bury Sylon, but I don't really see the poetry in that. I'm not sure Parkman knows what poetry is. Sylon asks if he's burying him or drowning the truth. Parkman wonders what truth: that Sylon's nothing but a figment of his imagination. Sylon struggles as he's disappearing to blurt out that Janice left because she can't stand the sight of Matt. He says that she asked him in front of the fire last night, "Why can't you be more like this all the time?" Matt tells Sylon he and Janice will have a beautiful life together when he's gone. Sylon asks why Parkman can't accept his power, instead insisting on fitting in and being forgettable. Sylon passes out, and Parkman finishes off the bottle until Sylon fully disappears. Then Parkman passes out, right after Janice comes back with Rick Worthy, and he tells her he really did it. She and Rick look at each other, all, "Did what? Drank all of the alcohol in the house?"
Slaughterhouse. The foursome come to another corner with two choices: kill house or prep room. Snotty decides kill house sounds more dangerous, so she and Ditzy will take that one. Ditzy says she thought they were sticking together, but Snotty's like, "No way." They head into kill house. Gretchen wants to check prep room real quick, saying they'll catch up to the others. They go inside, where there are sharp hooks hanging everywhere. They find a pink bear hanging on a hook and Gretchen says, "Well, we won. Kind of." She says she's going to go get Paris and Nicole, and Claire laughs. Gretchen tells Claire she gets why Claire wants to run from her freaky world and lead a normal life. She says she's sorry she got all relationshippy on her, since the last thing she needs right now is... Claire interrupts, "I need you. Trust me." Then the hooks behind Gretchen start to move and Claire looks worried. Gretchen's like, "What?" Then a rope or chain is put around Gretchen's neck and Claire runs over and is knocked down. She picks up a stick and hits the area behind Gretchen with it, so Gretchen's released. Claire watches the moving hooks, which is silly considering that Gretchen and Claire walked through the room just fine without moving the hooks so much, and Becky's just as tiny as them. But I guess they needed it for effect here. Something throws Claire against a wall onto a sharp stake sticking out of it. Gretchen, still gasping, says, "God, Claire." But Claire has a hook in her hand and swings it hard, knocking Becky down and back into visibility, which is pretty awesome. She looks up at Claire, and touches her wound. Claire just glares at her. Ditzy and Snotty come in to find them all there, with Claire hanging on the spike like ... something in a slaughterhouse. Snotty's like, "Becky?" And Becky gets up to run away. Claire yells for them to grab her, but a) they're not competent and b) she goes invisible and pushes them aside as she leaves. Ditzy and Snotty are in shock. Claire's like, "A little help, please?" And Gretchen pulls her down, despite the other girls' protests. She heals and Ditzy asks what's happening. Gretchen looks at Claire and asks what they're going to do.
